2026 NBA Mock Draft: Surprising First-Round Picks That Could Change the Future of Every Team

2026 NBA Mock Draft: Surprising First-Round Picks That Could Change the Future of Every Team

27. Boston Celtics: Bennett Stirtz, Iowa, 6-3 Guard

Stirtz is the best remaining player on the board in O-DRIP last season, and he led D-I in minutes played. At 22, he should be close to his peak from the get-go. The Celtics could be looking at him as playmaker who can lead bench units, and he’s a more-than-capable 3-point shooter who fits well in their spaced-out offense.

28. Minnesota Timberwolves: Meleek Thomas, Arkansas, 6-3 Guard

With Ayo Dosunmu acquired at the trade deadline and Terrance Shannon Jr. emerging as a real rotation piece, another scoring option for the second unit could be vital when Anthony Edwards sits. Thomas brings exactly that – a combo guard with shot creation skills who can carry a bench unit without stepping on Ant’s touches. Thomas ranked 10th among freshmen in WAR and shot 41.6% on 3s while averaging 15.6 points.
