**** OFFICIAL FFA 2025-2026 Fake NBA Draft **** - Draft Has Started (14 Viewers)

[Yo Mama]

5.07 Ausar Thompson - Detroit Pistons

95% as good as his twin who went in the top 20 of the draft. He will cover the best wing or ball handler and cause havoc. His lack of shooting is unimportant because he is playing with 4 shooters.

Murray, Ausar, Murphy III, Mobley, Chet

@scoobus you up

Nice pick. He was on my short list.

 

[msudaisy26]

5.06 Joel Embiid, C/Injured Soon

I imagine he will miss half the season and he’s clearly on a minutes limit to start the season but there is a chance that he plays 65 games and looks like an high end All-NBA player again. If he ends up being THAT guy, he’ll start for me with a super huge lineup, but otherwise, he’ll be my 6th man and hold up my 2nd unit. Even in a half-size league, he would mash on second units… think of him as the 1985 version of Bill Walton.

@the moops

Take notes everyone - now this is how you sell a player.

I call it buyers remorse!

You guys need to watch more Pistons. Unless he learns to shoot he is going to be welfare version of Lu Dort.

 

[scoobus]

This guy's stock seems a little down, but quite surprised to see him last this long. Was a bit worried about secondary creation on this team, shouldn't need to now with:

De'Aaron Fox

5.07 Ausar Thompson - Detroit Pistons

95% as good as his twin who went in the top 20 of the draft.

So instead of 27.5% from three he's 26%?

 

[Yo Mama]

Pumped this guy is still out there, especially since he’s such a great fit for my team. Yo Mama selects:

5.09 - Myles Turner, MIL C/PF

Perfect for my team in this format - rim protector, floor spacer, low usage. Outside of Wemby, my team was a bit undersized so I needed some size without clogging up the paint.

PG - James Harden
SG - Desmond Bane
SF - Jaylen Brown
PF - Victor Webmanyama
C - Myles Turner

@Jayrod

 

[Yo Mama]

As we get further along in this draft, don’t forget to make sure you’re not taking someone on a team you already have someone from. Don’t be a Moops.

 

[Jayrod]

5.10 Julius Randle, Minnesota PF

@Frostillicus is up

 

[Yo Mama]

5.10 Julius Randle, Minnesota PF

@Frostillicus is up

Was debating between him and Turner. Liked Myles’ fit more on my team.

De'Aaron Fox

His brand is way too low for how good he is and I am a huge Fox skeptic. Absolute steal here.

 

[Frostillicus]

Almost took Tuner last round. Started to think I would get him now. Say la vee.

5.11 - C Isaiah Hartenstein

Need someone to do some pick and rolls with Ant and Paolo.

@Eephus @oldmanhawkins

 

[Eephus]

Sniped on Turner as well.

5.12 - Toumani Camara - FWD - Portland

I'm going with D over O here. I figure there will be scorers available later in this format but not top ten defenders. Camara showed a decent 3PT stroke last year and will get some opportunities for some open ones with my team.

My only regret other than Turner was that this pick takes me out of the Yang Hansen sweepstakes.

@Juxtatarot

5.13 - Dereck Lively II -- Dallas Mavericks

5.10 Julius Randle, Minnesota PF

@Frostillicus is up

Was debating between him and Turner. Liked Myles’ fit more on my team.

I wanted Turner over KP but couldn't with Giannis already on the team.

Randle was kind of a best player available thing to be my 6th man and play the 4 with either KP or Giannis.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Just so I don't slow things down, I'm picking Coby White - Chicago Bulls at 6.2. Bob has the next two picks and then it's me but he's already drafted a Chicago Bull so he can't draft Coby.

Now this is some solid work. Not the pick of the player White (he sux), but the intelligence to figure out your preemptive pick. Well done

 

[scoobus]

@Eephus (if you want a guy on a team @Bob Loblaw already has)

 

[Eephus]

@Eephus (if you want a guy on a team @Bob Loblaw already has)

Can anybody in an earlier time zone take a list?

 

[Kev4029]

@Eephus (if you want a guy on a team @Bob Loblaw already has)

I'm not THAT much earlier, but if nobody else offers, you can send it my way. I should be up in front of my computer by ~6:30 MST.

 

[scoobus]

List sent to @Juxtatarot

 

[Bob Loblaw]

5.14 - Norman Powell - Miami Heat

6.01 - Brandon Ingram - Toronto Raptors

 

[Bob Loblaw]

@Frostillicus

 

[Bob Loblaw]

@Frostillicus

Oops. @Eephus is up.

 

[Kev4029]

6.03 @Eephus selects Paul George G/F Sixers

@Frostillicus up

 

[Frostillicus]

6.4 SG Tyler Herro, MIA

Thank you Juxtarot. Eephus already has a Heat guy, so I'm jumping in here with the player who was essentially genetically engineered to be a 6th man as my 6th man.

 

[Juxtatarot]

@Jayrod is up.

 

[Jayrod]

06.05 - Lu Dort, SG/SF OKC Thunder

@Yo Mama is up

 

[the moops]

@scoobus on deck

 

[Yo Mama]

Oh what the heck. Yo Mama selects:

6.06 - Draymond Green, GS F/C

He’ll be the hub on defense, can help facilitate the offense, set illegal screens for my perimeter guys, frustrate the other team, take awkward looking three pointers, and kick guys in the nuts (most likely Harden’s in practice).

You ****er

@Juxtatarot

 

[the moops]

Was all ready to jump scoobus and take Draymond for he already had a Warrior

 

[Juxtatarot]

I have the @scoobus pick.

6.07 Jalen Suggs — Orlando Magic

 

[the moops]

I have the @scoobus pick.

6.07 Jalen Suggs — Orlando Magic

OK he was next on my list after Draymond. Fun stuff. Give me a few

 

[the moops]

6.08 Aaron Nesmith - Indiana Pacers

 

[the moops]

@Kev4029

 

[Kev4029]

6.09 Michael Porter Jr - F - Brooklyn Nets

I'm a little light on shooting and there aren't many other elite shooters out there that are true starter quality. I'm thinking he'll likely come off the bench with Embiid due to his relative defensive shortcomings but he'll play plenty with the starters with his ability to put up points without ever really needing the ball and his rebounding on my team which outside of the centers needs some help.

@Chemical X

 

[Chemical X]

6.10 Donovan Klingon, Fail Blazers

6.12 Rudy Gobert, oui oui

@Master of Subservience

 

[Kev4029]

6.12 Rudy Gobert, oui oui

@Master of Subservience

I know it is en vouge to **** on Gobert but I can't believe he went after guys like Lively, Duren, or Kessler.

 

[the moops]

6.11 Andrew Nembhard G 'Cers​

@Sammy3469

Was debating between him and Nesmith last pick I had. Good pick.

 

[Yo Mama]

6.11 Andrew Nembhard G 'Cers​

@Sammy3469

He was on my short list (not because of his height). Nice pick - hopefully he’s not out too long. Pacers are getting hammered with injuries.

 

[Yo Mama]

6.12 Rudy Gobert, oui oui

@Master of Subservience

I know it is en vouge to **** on Gobert but I can't believe he went after guys like Lively, Duren, or Kessler.

Yeah, thought about him with both of my last two picks (Turner, Draymond), but that would be way too many French centers on my team.

 

[Desert_Power]

6.11 Andrew Nembhard G 'Cers​

@Sammy3469

He was on my short list (not because of his height). Nice pick - hopefully he’s not out too long. Pacers are getting hammered with injuries.

Seemed like he might only be out for a couple of games based on my reading that he traveled with the team for the 3 game road trip.

 

[msudaisy26]

If @Master of Subservience takes my player then I am going to need a few to look stuff up. I am think I will have enough info to make a pick around Christmas. Plan accordingly l!

@Sammy3469

Was debating between him and Nesmith last pick I had. Good pick.

Curious to see how each of these guys do with Haliburton out this year. They were so fun in the playoffs.
