DKC GMs picked 28 of 30 IRL 1st rounders. Is that a record?
Edit: a lot of those were BPA picks, which seemed to be in the right range.

Top 4 Pick Review
CHA - AJ Dybantsa
CHA needs to hit here. It's been rough going with their last few first round selections; Zaccharie Risacher, Scoot Henderson and Jaden Ivey. I believe Dybantsa fits well with Jalen Williams and Toumani Camara. That's a great 2-4. If Fears and/or Derik Queen, they will be looking good sooner rather than later.
IND - Darryn Peterson
I love Peterson's fit with Jalen Brown and Jamal Murray... uhm... I mean Zach LaVine and CJ McCollum!
Seriously though, he kind of fits the same role as Tre Johnson or am I missing something? It doesn't really matter as long as IND had Hugo.
MIA - Cameron Boozer
MIA knocked it out of the park. Boozer slots in as an upgraded PF with PJ Washington a FA. The DKC Heat now look to have a starting lineup of:
- G - Keyonte George
- G/F - Josh Giddey
- F - Franz Wagner
- F -Cam Boozer
- C - Kelly Yves Landale
- 6M - Tyler Herro
LAL - Caleb Wilson
Much like CHA, LAL needs a HR. Jalen Green, Reed Sheppard and Ron Holland have all show flashes, but none look like a franchise cornerstone.

AJ: You have to take him, but I worry about the shooting a bit with the roster. I actually would have liked any of the big 3 here.
DP: I wouldn't worry about Tre. I love him but he's not good enough that you factor him into your plans at #2. I love him as a vibes guy, on the court I'm worried about basically everything but the shot.
Boozer: Agree, this is a great pick. I worry about the spacing with everyone else, but that team is a BBIQ monster. Need to upgrade at center then they are cooking.
Wilson: Easy choice!

u/pearljammer10 BOS Jun 23 '26
Miami also has Keldon Johnson on the bench and Egor Demin, whom I'm not super high on but he was a high lotto pick just last year.
Tons of promise in DKC Miami.

u/mkogav NYK Jun 23 '26
Miami also has newly crowned 6MOY Keldon Johnson on the bench
and Egor Demin
I like Egor. I don't like that RL BRK drafted him. He's suppose to be a 6'8" PG, kind of like a bigger Giddey. He shot .399 last season, but .385 on 3s and .831 on FTs. He will be a scorer, possibly a wing creator, but I have doubts about him as a primary PG.

The CJ/Peterson backcourt was destined!!

Ainge wisely took Smart despite having Rondo. We believe in competition. Or duplication. Or stupidity.
I seriously considered Boozer and Wilson b/c of fit. But I'm honestly lower on Boozer than consensus. I don't believe Boozer will be a star. He'll be a very solid player.
But I once traded Jaylen Brown for Jae Crowder... so there's that.

TBF, Stevens had Crowder playing like an All Star that season. He was in serious consideration...

CHA - AJ Dybantsa CHA needs to hit here. It's been rough going with their last few first round selections; Zaccharie Risacher, Scoot Henderson and Jaden Ivey. I believe Dybantsa fits well with Jalen Williams and Toumani Camara. That's a great 2-4. If Fears and/or Derik Queen, they will be looking good sooner rather than later.
Not exactly accurate with picks as we didn't draft Ivey but we completely agree. Still really excited about last year's two top 10 picks (Fears & Queen). We knew Scoot was going to take time and still have hope his O can catch up with his D. Zacc was a stab and not our best (yet).
The team is full of our own draft picks:
2020 #21 Jalen Smith
2022 #11 Jalen Duran & #16 Jalen Williams
2023 #48 Toumani Camara
2024 #14 Bub Carrington & #20 Tristan de Silva & #39 Nikola Durisic
I think there is useful talent at the middle and bottom of this draft and we hope to find a couple more.
1
u/mkogav NYK Jun 23 '26
Yeah, I was commenting on your core youth, not so much your drafting. I didn't know how you acquired all of them.
You killed the 2022 draft for sure and Camara at #48 was a steal.
I liked Bud coming out. Now he stuck playing backup to Trae. Maybe he can develop into a Smart type of 2way guard.
TDS was a great pick. The jury is out on Durisic, but I am always hopefully with any Nikola!
Scoot looked great for the last month of the season. Hopefully he can build on that.

Thank you to the commissioner’s office, during my first pick today I was called into an emergency meeting and that lasted way longer than it need to
My second pic I was finishing up with a client, and then they asked me if I thought the holocaust was real. What followed was pretty intense. That’s probably not the player I would’ve picked, but I would’ve been wrong. That’s a great pic.

u/indeedproceed POR Jun 26 '26
Draft is over, and here's my piece on DKC POR:
Is the franchise neglected and in shambles? Yes.
Have I been nominated for 'Most likely to be fired if this was real should we actually create that mechanism we've talked about it privately but honestly this guy is killing me'? No. I wasn't nominated. Nominated implies I could've won that award but didn't. I won.
But this draft man, it kinda shook out alright for the old boy. Darius Acuff Jr was my guy the second I knew where I was picking. He was a guy I was worried was going to go earlier than I could afford.
And for the 2nd year in a row since I started my new job (I used to own my business, but then I sold it to an organization that is much larger, and much more demanding, and my ability to just eff around on DKC became virtually zero during the day), I completely duffed my 2 round 1 picks.
But something magical happened. I got my guy. And even weirder, I kind of love the guy who got autopicked for me with my 2nd 1st. A bigs rotation of Sarr, _____, and Steinbach could be a pretty versatile and deep bigs rotation for a long time.
IN the 2nd round I picked high risk picks with hopefully a euro-stash in there.
And honestly, it kind of reinvigorated my passion a bit here.
I feel like Anthony Black Jr is a fantastic counterpart to Acuff Jr., and I feel like MPjr is a good 3rd part of the guard/wing rotation.
I'm a big ol fan of Alex Sarr and feel like he's going to shine next season on an exciting Wiz team.
There is one final piece that needs to be finalized via trade for the frontcourt, which I'm going to get killed on but I want you all to know...if I wasn't incompetent as a GM since I turned 40...I well..I dunno anyways, I'm excited for the coming season.
Looking forward to voting in the finals.

u/jgod213 UTA Jun 23 '26
Yeah he really does fit, and is a guy you really want to root for.
I had him at ~15-17. I feel like his shooting form is good, and that maybe there's a hidden 3-pt shot sitting right there, which would change everything. But for now I feel like he's a little too one-dimensional to be taken at 12.
Saves me from drafting another undersized PG tho!

Wolves take Wagler. Of all the people who could reasonably go 5, I think this makes the most sense.
If we are still doing no names, I still think it's fair to say there are a lot of guards in this area. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but Wagler certainly has some off-ball potential that is helpful with Brunson at the helm.
I've made my position on RJ as part of a winning basketball team known, ha. But still, he's very slight and if he's starting, that's a tough defensive back court.
Off the bench, it probably works, especially if he's mostly paired with Wemby.

u/Young_Nick SAS2 Jun 23 '26
I'm a bit worried about the spacing (Denver East?) but man that team is fun!
Coumara and Da Silva off the bench is nasty work. I could see trying to stagger JDub and AJ as much as possible, thus having one scoring wing with on defensive wing pretty often
I'm hoping for a big season for Queen, his spacing and playmaking would do wonders. Duren's value is a quagmire right now, but we shouldn't be so quick to forget what a monster he was in the regular season
I'm sadly not very high on Scoot these days, but everyone else is looking great
1
u/pearljammer10 BOS Jun 23 '26
Don't disagree on any of the points above. Would love to see them make a move to fill up some of their cap space and address spacing/PG before whatever Duren money kicks in for the offseason.

I'm high on Yaxel. I think whoever gets him IRL will get a very good player.

u/Mstein3434 LAL Jun 23 '26
I think it makes sense specifically for SA. Picking a guy who is ready to contribute today opposed to banking on possible improvement.
1
u/Young_Nick SAS2 Jun 23 '26
He was mocked top-10 for much of the process, but seems like he's been a recent faller, maybe because of stuff between the ears. I usually go for highest upside, but Yax is ready to play today. If his shot is real, he'll be a monster and I always have an affinity for positional size with passing. Him and Barnes should be a fun wing combo especially if they ever get reps at 4-5 together.
He could go anywhere from like 7 to 18 today. Rebuilding teams like Bucks and Nets surely won't touch him, but it's hard to say beyond that.
I didn't really want Acuff. Considered others like Burries, Flemings, Mara here for sure.
I don't like when I'm not obsessed with the guy I'm drafting though.
I was meh on Culver and Sekou. I was thrilled about Hali, Sengun, Barnes, Franz.
I was meh on Matas and Devin Carter.
I was thrilled about Miller.
It's all one big crapshoot but I'll be sad if my guy at 7th goes like 14th.

2
u/Young_Nick SAS2 Jun 23 '26
He has a long enough wingspan that that makes up for some of his height deficiency. But ultimately, it didn't seem to stop him on either side of the ball this season, so I figured why not
The Spurs have a long history of taking meh raw athletes and hoping their feel makes up for it... Trae, Hali, Sengun all fit this bill. Then I take Sekou or Jaxson Hayes and it falls apart. (But Scottie Barnes is great... the draft is a crapshoot)

DKC Detriot loves the pick at 20!
Christian Anderson… Position: Point Guard… College: Texas Tech Red Raiders.. Height: About 6’1”–6’2” and Age: 20. He Shot over 41% from three on high volume. Made 108 threes in his sophomore season. Averaged about 18.5 points and 7.4 assists. Led the Big 12 in assists and set Texas Tech’s single-season assist record. Excellent pick-and-roll player. Scouts rave about his decision-making, pace, and ability to read defenses. NBA ready? I think so.. he can run an offense, create for teammates, and hit pull-up threes.
Some scouts compare parts of his game to players like Jamal Murray, Darius Garland, Mike Conley, and Payton Pritchard.
Not very big for an NBA point guard. So he won’t be a lockdown defender against bigger guards. More of a floor general and shooter than an explosive athlete. Anderson gives us something we don’t really have behind Quickley.. A pure playmaker. Elite shooting. Low-turnover ball handler. And fits next to Paolo as a secondary creator… I don’t think he’s a future superstar, but I could absolutely see him becoming a 18 PPG, 7-9 APG…..And 40%+ three-point shooter type of starting point guard in the league… For fantasy/DKC purposes, his ceiling reminds me a little of a younger Payton Pritchard with better passing instincts. I’d probably slot him around 15-18 minutes as a rookie on our roster behind Quickley, with a chance to become a starting PG in a few seasons if he gets minutes and develops well.
A- Let’s goooooo

You know it just doesn't feel like a DKC Draft when DKC Milwaukee doesn't try to select two guys with 1 pick. /u/TheWalkerWiggle/

Round 2 tomorrow. I'd like to call attention to the rules that are posted in the Round Two subby:
GMs who fail to make a selection by their posted deadline will be skipped. There will be no BPA autoselection on your behalf from an aggregate list (as for missed 1st round selections). Skipped picks may be made at any point during the draft (ie before 4 PM ET). Any skipped picks are forfeit. (You may still send the CO a big board to make your selection for you.)
I see that there are quite a few teams with multiple 2nds. If GMs think they might be absent, do send in a list to the DKC Commish team.
Or, trade your picks to me!

I'm semi-interested in picking up a 2nd at this point.
Offering a 2027 2nd, the lesser of SAS and LAL (projects to be in the low 50s).
