25. Dallas Mavericks (via NY and Los Angeles Lakers) - Sergio De Larrea
- 2025-26 stats (Spain): 9.4 ppg and 3.5 apg
The second international prospect taken in the round, De Larrea is a 6’6 guard/forward who can handle the ball and is a high-rising prospect out of Spain. The Mavericks lacked ball-handlers on the roster outside of Kyrie Irving and Ryan Nembhard, so if they couldn’t get a big man, adding a versatile playmaker to the roster is the next best thing.
Grade: B+Â
26. San Antonio Spurs (via Denver) - Tarris Reed
- 2025-26 stats (UConn): 14.7 ppg and 9.0 rpg
After drafting Quaintance, the Spurs went with a better scoring option at center with Reed, who is also a great rebounder. Considering that they don’t have a perimeter need and there aren’t many wings available, it’s okay if they want to take another big man, especially one that’s healthy and ready to go on opening night.
Grade: B+
27. Boston Celtics - Chris Cenac
- 2025-26 stats (Houston): 9.5 ppg and 7.9 rpg
The former five-star prospect is a quality athletic defensive big man who can play and defend the interior. With the Nikola Vucevic trade during the regular season, the Celtics look to find a frontcourt player who’s playable in the playoffs. If Cenac’s offensive game continues to develop, this pick can really work out for them.
Grade: A-
