9 of 10

Portland Trail Blazers

None

Along with Miami, Portland also didn’t have a pick in the draft. They were rumored to be in the mix in the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade sweepstakes, but nothing came of it. Still, Milwaukee fully going into rebuild mode benefits the Trail Blazers, since the Trail Blazers own some of their future picks. So they can wait to see what the future draft picks hold for them.

Grade: B

Sacramento Kings

7. Darius Acuff

  • 2025-26 stats (Arkansas): 23.5 ppg and 6.4 apg

29. (via Cleveland and San Antonio) - Alex Karaban 

  • 2025-26 stats (UConn): 13.2 ppg and 5.3 rpg

45. Emanuel Sharp

  • 2025-26 stats (Houston): 15.5 ppg and 3.0 rpg

The Kings went with offense for this draft, starting with Acuff, one of the best pure scorers overall. He’ll be the hopeful franchise lead guard for the future, while Karaban is a good stretch forward with two national titles on his resume. Sharp also won in college, coming from Houston, and is a good scorer in his own right. 

Grade: B+ 

San Antonio Spurs

20. (via Atlanta) - Jayden Quaintance

  • 2024-25 stats (Arizona State): 9.4 ppg and 7.9 rpg

26. (via Denver) - Tarris Reed

  • 2025-26 stats (UConn): 14.7 ppg and 9.0 rpg

42. Ja’Kobi Gillespie

  • 2025-26 stats (Tennessee): 18.4 ppg and 5.4 apg

44. Mailq Brown

  • 2025-26 stats (Duke): 4.9 ppg and 5.2 rpg

It was a frontcourt-heavy draft for the Spurs, starting with Quaintance, who had a chance of being a lottery pick had he not been dealing with the ACL injury recovery. Still, he’s a swing the franchise can afford to take. Reed is one of the top offensive big men in the draft, while Brown is one of the top defenders. Gillespie is a quality scorer who could compete with the young core of perimeter players on the roster.

Grade: A
