NBA Draft 2026: Unveiling Three Hidden Gems Set to Ignite the First Round Chaos
It’s easy to see why Tugler isn’t considered a first-round prospect. He’s averaging just 8.0 points and has more turnovers than assists.
But fortunately for Tugler, there are two sides of the basketball court and he excels on the other one. Tugler is the catch-all problem solver for Houston’s defense. Need to shut down a big wing? Cause chaos off the ball against a good ball-movement team? Get more physical switching onto guards in the pick-and-roll?
Tugler is the answer.

It’s that kind of versatility that makes him an interesting draft pick. He’s not likely to be a positive offensive player at the next level, but he is very physical, and a team with a center who can space the floor can put him in the dunker spot on offense and watch him unlock a lot of different options on defense.
