1. 4.01Ace Bailey24.89 FP/G
2. 5.24RJ Barrett32.02 FP/G
3. 6.01Miles Bridges30.92 FP/G
4. 7.24Bennedict Mathurin26.37 FP/G

Bailey, Barrett, Miles Bridges and Mathurin put layers of scoring and athleticism around Wembanyama, Booker and Smith. The roster still needs a high-volume organizer more than another scoring wing.

1. 4.02Kevin Porter Jr.42.05 FP/G
2. 5.23Payton Pritchard33.48 FP/G
3. 6.02Josh Hart31.80 FP/G
4. 7.23Jusuf Nurkic32.54 FP/G

Porter, Pritchard, Hart and Nurkic turn the Jokic-Daniels-LeBron opening into a deep present-tense roster. Hart and Pritchard add usable games; Nurkic gives Jokic insurance rather than a new identity.

1. 4.03Tyler Herro35.55 FP/G
2. 5.22Keegan Murray29.87 FP/G
3. 6.03Isaiah Hartenstein30.00 FP/G
4. 7.22Pelle Larsson22.63 FP/G

Herro and Keegan Murray add shooting beside Doncic and Young, while Hartenstein supplies screens and interior work. The offensive ceiling is enormous; the turnover burden remains the recurring tax.

1. 4.04Mikel Brown Jr.Rookie / no record
2. 5.21Joel Embiid43.50 FP/G
3. 6.04Maxime Raynaud25.42 FP/G
4. 7.21Kristaps Porzingis30.97 FP/G

Embiid and Porzingis joined Davis in the highest-risk frontcourt bet on the board. Mikel Brown and Raynaud protect the future, but weekly availability will decide whether the star names become an advantage.

1. 4.05De'Aaron Fox36.71 FP/G
2. 5.20Cason Wallace24.31 FP/G
3. 6.05Neemias Queta29.68 FP/G
4. 7.20Tari Eason23.33 FP/G

Fox adds speed, Wallace and Eason add defensive events, and Queta adds another rim body. The additions reinforce Gilgeous-Alexander, Jackson and Bane without forcing the roster into one statistical lane.

1. 4.06Ja Morant34.40 FP/G
2. 5.19Nic Claxton30.26 FP/G
3. 6.06Andrew Nembhard34.05 FP/G
4. 7.19Bilal Coulibaly26.48 FP/G

Morant gives Cunningham another elite downhill creator; Claxton, Nembhard and Coulibaly add defense and connective play. Morant's recovery and crowded Portland backcourt create the widest outcome range.

1. 4.07Collin Murray-Boyles23.11 FP/G
2. 5.18Nate AmentRookie / no record
3. 6.07Brayden BurriesRookie / no record
4. 7.18Tre Johnson19.40 FP/G

Murray-Boyles, Ament, Burries and Tre Johnson place four development bets behind Edwards, Buzelis and Fears. The runway is long, but early-season production will depend heavily on Edwards.

1. 4.08Ivica Zubac31.44 FP/G
2. 5.17Derrick White37.19 FP/G
3. 6.08Paul George35.24 FP/G
4. 7.17Scotty Pippen Jr.26.30 FP/G

Zubac and White bring dependable minutes, while George and Pippen add veteran creation. The choices reduce the burden on Haliburton's comeback, though several core pieces now share the same win-now clock.

1. 4.09Rudy Gobert33.01 FP/G
2. 5.16Ty Jerome37.13 FP/G
3. 6.09Norman Powell32.55 FP/G
4. 7.16Carter Bryant9.17 FP/G

Gobert supplies the four-point blocks that the opening trio lacked. Jerome and Powell add proven guard production; Bryant is the lone long-horizon bet in an otherwise present-focused middle draft.

1. 4.10Kawhi Leonard48.66 FP/G
2. 5.15Jalen Green26.84 FP/G
3. 6.10PJ Washington28.71 FP/G
4. 7.15Aaron Nesmith23.29 FP/G

Leonard at 4.10 changed the roster's temperature immediately. Green, Washington and Nesmith add scoring and two-way depth around Barnes and Kessler, making health the central variable rather than talent.

1. 4.11Anthony Black29.86 FP/G
2. 5.14Jalen Suggs33.79 FP/G
3. 6.11Shaedon Sharpe30.20 FP/G
4. 7.14Jonathan Kuminga21.67 FP/G

Black, Suggs, Sharpe and Kuminga add size, defense and transition play around Johnson, Clingan and Markkanen. Half-court shooting and primary creation remain the questions.

1. 4.12Jaime Jaquez Jr.29.81 FP/G
2. 5.13Brandin Podziemski28.49 FP/G
3. 6.12Kingston FlemingsRookie / no record
4. 7.13Collin Gillespie29.68 FP/G

Jaquez, Podziemski, Flemings and Gillespie follow a large Sengun-Sarr-Thompson opening with guards and wings. Flemings extends the timeline; the others can stabilize roles sooner.

1. 4.13Jarrett Allen33.30 FP/G
2. 5.12Michael Porter Jr.39.31 FP/G
3. 6.13Mark Williams28.17 FP/G
4. 7.12Christian Braun24.89 FP/G

Allen, Porter, Mark Williams and Braun give Sacramento rebounding, finishing and shooting around its creator-heavy opening. Two centers inside three rounds create flexibility, but also some role overlap.

1. 4.14Immanuel Quickley35.49 FP/G
2. 5.11Mikal Bridges33.30 FP/G
3. 6.14Devin Vassell26.72 FP/G
4. 7.11Wendell Carter Jr.26.64 FP/G

Quickley, Mikal Bridges, Vassell and Carter form a stable middle class around Tatum, Avdija and Okongwu. The group has fewer unknowns than most, with Tatum's workload still the major swing factor.

1. 4.15Ajay Mitchell27.93 FP/G
2. 5.10Joan Beringer10.07 FP/G
3. 6.15Morez Johnson Jr.Rookie / no record
4. 7.10Scoot Henderson23.80 FP/G

Ajay Mitchell, Beringer, Morez Johnson and Henderson keep Brooklyn on the youngest possible path. Edey provides an interior reference point; shooting and proven high-end creation remain future needs.

1. 4.16Coby White26.12 FP/G
2. 5.09OG Anunoby33.04 FP/G
3. 6.16Hannes SteinbachRookie / no record
4. 7.09Quentin Grimes25.11 FP/G

White, Anunoby and Grimes bring perimeter defense and scalable offense around Giannis and Duren, while Steinbach preserves upside. The roster added useful roles without duplicating its opening stars.

1. 4.17Reed Sheppard29.73 FP/G
2. 5.08Peyton Watson28.74 FP/G
3. 6.17Allen GravesRookie / no record
4. 7.08Moussa Diabate25.95 FP/G

Sheppard, Watson, Graves and Diabate extend Charlotte's young timeline. The group can produce steals, blocks and athletic plays, but established scoring remains scarce beyond the opening trio.

1. 4.18Egor Demin21.79 FP/G
2. 5.07Khaman Maluach8.46 FP/G
3. 6.18Jaylon Tyson26.20 FP/G
4. 7.07Sergio De LarreaRookie / no record

Demin, Maluach, Tyson and De Larrea continue the bet that began with Peterson and Acuff. Banchero is the only established NBA engine, so patience is part of the construction rather than a side effect.

1. 4.19Keaton WaglerRookie / no record
2. 5.06Kyrie IrvingRookie / no record
3. 6.19Damian LillardRookie / no record
4. 7.06Karim LopezRookie / no record

Wagler and Lopez are rookie bets; Irving and Lillard are veteran comeback bets. Around Mitchell, Jalen Williams and Ware, the roster can be dangerous, but its middle rounds carry unusually little certainty.

1. 4.20Toumani Camara27.11 FP/G
2. 5.05Yaxel LendeborgRookie / no record
3. 6.20John Collins26.35 FP/G
4. 7.05Cameron Johnson25.06 FP/G

Camara, Lendeborg, Collins and Cameron Johnson add switchable size and shooting around Ball, Randle and Murray. The build gained lineup options more than one specialist strength.

1. 4.21Brandon Ingram35.61 FP/G
2. 5.04Myles Turner27.42 FP/G
3. 6.21Julian Champagnie24.23 FP/G
4. 7.04Sandro Mamukelashvili24.75 FP/G

Ingram, Turner, Champagnie and Mamukelashvili add scoring and frontcourt spacing to Holmgren, Brunson and Garland. Turner's blocks fit the scoring system; the rest of the group reduces offensive pressure on the guards.

1. 4.22James Harden43.50 FP/G
2. 5.03Dejounte Murray36.00 FP/G
3. 6.22Andrew Wiggins31.97 FP/G
4. 7.03CJ McCollum31.86 FP/G

Harden, Dejounte Murray, Wiggins and McCollum join Towns, Durant and Adebayo in the clearest veteran push. The roster has immediate production across seven slots and the oldest collective clock.

1. 4.23Stephen Curry42.93 FP/G
2. 5.02Naz Reid29.60 FP/G
3. 6.23Aday MaraRookie / no record
4. 7.02Cameron CarrRookie / no record

Curry gives Miller and Wilson an elite veteran reference point, while Reid adds prime-age stability and Mara and Carr extend the future. The construction asks one roster to serve two timelines.

1. 4.24Kyshawn George31.23 FP/G
2. 5.01Ayo Dosunmu28.97 FP/G
3. 6.24Saddiq Bey30.67 FP/G
4. 7.01Day'Ron Sharpe23.15 FP/G

Kyshawn George, Dosunmu, Bey and Sharpe add playable years around Mobley, Dybantsa and Wagner. Detroit kept its young core intact while adding enough established roles to avoid a purely developmental roster.
