2026 NBA Draft

Post by todd-parker »

30 teams just made a big mistake not drafting Robbie Avila. He could have been the next Nikola Jokić. I'm sure he'll make some team overseas very successful.

He signed with the lakers today. I suppose the NBA does what the nfl does and drafted players are free to sign wherever. I hope he makes the roster and finds some playing time.

Non-guaranteed deal for now but at least he has his foot in the door. Lakers should make their money back in Avila merchandising alone. Imagine 'Cream Abdul-Jabbar' on a Lakers jersey.

Huge challenge.
