Lenderborg withdrawing from the draft and staying for his last season at Michigan. Little surprising tbh. Unfortunate as it means one less guy likely to be available at 38 (not that he was likely to be available, but will push someone else up).
Drake Powell, Tahaad Pettiford and Mackenzie Mgbako are also names to keep and eye on

mgabako withdrew out this draft along with lendeborg.Expect others to withdraw soon as well.
Yep, that means they we not getting any wink deals they would be picked in first round.
I've been playing around with the Fanspo draft simulator and regardless of the tweaks I make to the settings, the simulator picks Harper to the Mavs over half the time. What a draft day that would be. It leads to some interesting outcomes -- the board looks a lot different at 14 with Flagg on the roster. Seems very unlikely, but its fun to dream about...
Why would Lenderborg withdraw?
I think he can be pick in round one. does that make him more money than in college?
Just saw your message. You answered my question above.
If his rumored $4M nil deal is correct then he'd need to be #16 or better to match that for next season
I think it’s using logic and fit, but Nico probably would be assassinated by fans this time if he did pass on Flagg. Simulators don’t take human factors into account.
I agree, it's incredibly unlikely. But I'm sure I'll be holding my breath as the Mavs make their pick nonetheless.
Me, too.
WTF? I just did a sim on Fanspo and it had the Spurs taking Bailey #2 and Harper slipping to Brookyln at #8
Stupidest mock draft I have ever seen.
Lol, that's crazy. I did get some unlikely slips here and there -- Knueppel or Tre Johnson available at 14, that sort of thing. Which combined with Cooper or Harper, damn. Clearly for entertainment purposes only.WTF? I just did a sim on Fanspo and it had the Spurs taking Bailey #2 and Harper slipping to Brookyln at #8
The likelihood of Dallas taking Harper over Flagg is so low that I pretty much think it’s pointless to think about or discuss tbh. Us trading for Giannis, which is also very unlikely, is considerably more likely than Dallas deciding to pick Harper over Flagg outright.
Damn Yaxel Lendeborg and Alex Condon are tough losses to what was looking like a really good big man class. Mouhamed Faye might be a guy that moves up to early 2nd round now.
NIL is going to be making drafts deeper and deeper as the years go on. You'll see less and less one and dones.
I believe Powell already said he's done with UNC and not going back to school.
Bummer about Yaxel!
Still lots of exciting prospects at 14 though
I sort of disagree. The same amount of one and dones will be the same, more or less. What will happen is that the draft will be more freshmen and seniors out of eligibility or juniors who possibly made a leap. What will get hit are the pretty decent guys who would have gone at the late first, early second who still have eligibility. They'll stay in school if they can get NIL money.
Brandon Walker who was like the 2nd round talent level version of Derik Queen has withdrawn from the nba draft. You can take him off the board. Dropping like flies today!
on the flip side, it's good for college hoops, and it adds depth to the 2026 draft class.
Richardson might be bpa at 14. You gotta take bpa.
We’re no taking a 6 foot shooting guard
