mid/late august update for my 2026 nba draft top 25 after working through a bunch of film over the last month or so as always, order within tiers is fluid, especially that big fourth group and prospects are listed with their draft age

first 2026 nba draft horizontal board is live, attempting to visualize the draft based on archetype/role rather than basic numerical order for my top 70 the class features great guard and initiator depth, but there are very few true bigs I feel confident about today

darryn peterson has a chance to be the greatest guard prospect of all time. i broke down how he dominates on both ends my case for peterson as the number one pick in a loaded 2026 draft:

who are the best drivers in the 2026 NBA draft? i threw together data on drive efficiency, frequency and turnover rate it's important to keep the comp levels and sample size in mind, but promising stuff for lopez, yessoufou, stirtz, peterson and dybantsa

new bjpf passing charting viz just dropped, passing turnover rate vs pressure rate for 2025 prospects top right is where you want to be, fewer passing turnovers while passing more frequently under pressure, s/o harper, tre, cooper, kon and riley!

very rough top 20 for the 26 high school class/27 draft. really weak seeming class without any true blue chip players to me so far still working through the class so if there's a guy not on here there's a solid chance i haven't watched enough yet

generating self-created half court dunks signals positive advantage creation and explosive twitch and is a hallmark of many stars. i hand-tracked dunks from most 2025 NBA Draft prospects, here are the results if they're not on the list, they have zero self created HC dunks

jase richardson's decisiveness is my favorite trait of his. rare for 18 year olds to feel and space off of the ball like he does and move with purpose on the catch such an important skill for off guards especially, off ball feel matters a ton and is hard to develop

Ben Pfeifer @bjpf.bsky.social · 20/04/2025
i still can't stop thinking about kris dunn's anticipation on this late steal. he wrecked on this play, watch how early he begins his help on the initial double and the steal. special defensive player

here's the current 2025 top 30 for my projectable impact tracking project i've been working on (min 100 total minutes). only data from the current college/intl season was included here linking the explainer down below for how i chart and score prospects:

our collin murray-boyles scouting report is live, covering one of the draft's most polarizing players. can he bring a unique brand of star impact at the NBA level?

steph curry in the 41 possessions this season defended by amen thompson — 9.1 pts/75, 9.1 ast/75 (0 tovs), 31.3% TS steph has the passing to beat aggressive coverages but all time athletes like amen will give him trouble as a scorer + houston's switching/trapping

mississippi big wing madison scott will bring elite weak side rim protection, versatile perimeter defense, high-end playmaking and mid-range scoring to the dallas wings. was a mid 1st round talent to me, huge steal for dallas atop the second round. her ceiling is huge

dylan harper is an elite NBA prospect with the potential to change the trajectory of a franchise. read our scouting report @bbinsidersnews breaking down harper's strengths and limitations (lnk below)

don't think i've ever seen an athlete make the face luka did after scoring in an NBA game, gutwrenching

jaden toombs ('25, SMU) impressed on offense at chipotle nationals. impressive touch, willing shooting with real passing feel. love his game on that end

Ben Pfeifer @bjpf.bsky.social · 07/04/2025
a fun walter clayton jr query, guard sized with elite shooting, passable feel and vertical pop. he's gonna be a good NBA player

darryn peterson with the midair manipulation, he really has haliburton esque jump passing stuff

2027 marcus spears jr's defensive impact at his age at the highest lvl of hs hoops is pretty staggering. love his range, motor and instincts on the weak side

kon knueppel lacks great passing volume but he leads all players in big time pass rate and ranks in passing turnover rate, somehow. his data is so good i feel like i somehow messed up

threw together some extremely crude data visualizations for my passing database, 1st scatter is big time passes vs pressure rates, 2nd (followup tweet) is just potential assists/40 minutes. so much potential for useful analysis with the data i'm collecting

watch dylan mingo (5 on white) wreck shop for an entire defensive possession. overwhelmingly dominant defender off and on the ball

Ben Pfeifer @bjpf.bsky.social · 30/03/2025
plays like these are why i don't scoff at ppl who have aj dybantsa at 1 in 2026. he's a truly special easy advantage creator prospects, craziest size burst flexibility power combo

here's a "what i would do" first round NFL draft mock. plz keep in mind i mostly synthesize smart ppl takes and do a bit of film and highlight scouting

Ben Pfeifer @bjpf.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
adrian wooley, 6'5 guard — 26% usage with 62.7% TS, 43.6% HC rim rate, 41.4% on 8.4 3pa/100. dizzying pace and cadence as a driver with great scoring touch and some passing feel. NBA talent
110
Ben Pfeifer @bjpf.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
magoon gwath, 7'0 hybrid big/wing — 14.1% blk, 36.6% on 3.9 3pa/100. one of the freakiest movers i can remember, so much potential on both ends if he can clean up his decision making/strength
170
Ben Pfeifer @bjpf.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
kam williams, 6'8 wing transfer to kentucky, 39.7% on 8.2 3pa/100, 3.9% blk, 2.7% stl, 1.6 a:to. tall, athletic movement shooting wing with a bit of passing feel. needs to scale up on O more, but this is a 2026 FRP if so

these are my current all nba thoughts pending giannis and brunson eligibility. super weird year bc of injuries, feels like an underwhelming group

here are a few of my favorite blown potential assists from harper lately, such a ridiculous creation talent with some sad teammate play
