2026 NBA Draft: The best, worst and weirdest from an unusually orderly two days

The 2026 NBA Draft was notably orderly over two days, with the first eight picks matching widespread expectations and 22 of the first 22 selections appearing in every major analyst's top 25. Three Michigan players were selected in the lottery, and no top-15 picks were traded. The biggest surprise was North Carolina center Henri Veesaar, projected to go in the late 20s, sliding all the way to pick 52.
