Getty Images CHICAGO — The Nets have the No. 6 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. The Post’s Brian Lewis looks at four guard options they could consider from the NBA draft combine.
Shooting off the dribble: 80.0% (24-of-30, fifth at the combine)
Spot-up shooting: 76% (19-of-25, tied for second at the combine)
The skinny: One of the biggest winners so far. He helped his stock on Day 1 by measuring in with a 6-foot-7 wingspan, the best of any of the pure point guards likely to go in the lottery. With his lack of size being a huge knock (worries that he’d be just 6-feet), measuring 6-foot-2 without shoes put that the rest. Then he came out Tuesday and lit up the shooting drills, second-best in the spot up shooting and fifth in shooting off the dribble. Now, he just has to guard.
