READ - CBS NBA Draft Prospect Rankings : https://www.cbssports.com/nba/draft/prospect-rankings/ With less than a week until the NBA Draft, there's less clarity than ever. So with GP on vacation, we pull in Adam Finklestein to answer any NBA Draft related question. 00:00 - Start 02:35 - Quality of 2025 NBA Draft Class. 07:55 - Top-100 Prospects that we're higher or lower on than the consensus 21:58 - Stephen from Virginia asks: Where's the highest VJ Edgecombe could get drafted? Could he go number 2? 23:14 - Why Not Let It Fly wants to know what the Spurs are doing at 14 25:40 - Eric Deaner asks: As a sixers fan, what do you think they do at #3? I know this is a loaded question with the embiid situation, but I think Maluach and Knueppel would be great fits. Do you think someone like Tre Johnson has a higher ceiling than Jared McCain who's already on the roster? 31:05 - Marcus asks: If the Hornets don't move back, where do they go with the 4th pick? 33:44 - Frank Whitehead asks: Seems like Carter Bryant's stock has only gone up since the season ended. What's the highest he could go, and what team would be the best fit for his development? 38:50 - An Arkansas fan asks: Do you think that Adou Therio will keep John Calipari's streak of first round picks going? 40:57 - Xavier fan Joe: If your son was borderline 1st/2nd round pick would you advise him to stay in school for NIL guarantee 43:23 - Truett in Durham writes: I'm loving the Pacers' success this year, while also lamenting the Hoosiers' lack thereof. What could (and maybe should) IU athletic administrators/coaching staff learn? 46:28 - Kris Karns muses think it would be an interesting conversation and exercise to look back at the upperclassman who came out who fell to late first or even second round picks? 51:45 - Dan Weiner asks: Do the Hawks take two bites of the apple or should they try and package their picks and trade up? 52:44 - CGWami asks: With the transfer portal creating greater incentive for NCAA programs to collect/rent/retain more refined talent, has it become tougher for NBA scouts to find & evaluate potential projects (beyond the known freshmen)? With NCAA rosters shrinking, what's the best path for “projects” to develop? 55:00 - Andy Thompson asks: Where do you guys stand on Ryan Kalkbrenner's draft stock? Have seen so many varying opinions over the past few weeks and think he's one of the most undervalued prospects this year 59:05 - Thomas Dowdle wants to know: Second round prospect with most long term upside?

The time has come to discuss the big names that are going to be in the 2026 NBA Draft Class. Cooper Flagg obviously leads the way as the #1 prospect, but guys like Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, and VJ Edgecombe are making their names known as definite top 5 picks. There are some interesting seniors too that will more than likely be picked in the 25-35 range that will absolutely bring value right away. This is still very early in the process, but we love to bring draft analysis and we think this year's draft class will be a powerful one similar to the Wembenyama draft. Enjoy!
