Grades and reactions to all 30 picks from 2026 NBA Draft

10. Milwaukee Bucks - Brayden Burries

• 2025-26 stats (Arizona): 16.1 ppg and 4.9 rpg

Burries proved to be the best player on a 30+ win team at Arizona and is one of the top pure shooters in the class. Milwaukee is fully rebuilding after trading Giannis Antetokounmpo, landing guard Tyler Herro in the process. He’s a good piece to build around as he’ll do his job on the perimeter, with the Bucks hoping his ceiling is high.

Grade: B+

11. Golden State Warriors - Yaxel Lendeborg 

• 2025-26 stats (Michigan): 15.1 ppg, 6.8 rpg, and 3.2 apg

Another Michigan frontcourt player is off the board, and it’s the versatile Lendeborg, who can play and guard several positions on the floor, along with an underrated offensive game. As the Warriors look to maximize the rest of the Steph Curry era, Lendeborg is a good role player who should keep the team's defense at a competitive level and could be the long-term replacement for Draymond Green.

Grade: B

12. OKC Thunder (via Los Angeles Clippers) - Aday Mara

• 2025-26 stats (UCLA): 12.1 ppg and 6.8 rpg

OKC doesn’t need a star in the first round, as they have a championship-caliber roster as is. But after losing to San Antonio and Victor Wembanyama in the Western Conference finals, another big man who can contend with the Spur monster was needed. Mara, a 7’3 big man who was one of the best interior defenders in the country, is the perfect option for them at 12.

Grade: A+
