F: Pelicans (Fels + Quinn +40),

N: Nuggets, Rockets (no draft pick)

The following are the reasons for some team ratings:

Mavericks: How long has the Dallas management considered for this No. 1 pick? From the moment the Mavericks accidentally won the No. 1 pick, Flag was a sure choice, which was right. But from the process, the draw of the No. 1 pick is just a result of luck, and they just didn't mess up all this.

Trail Blazers: Hexon may be selected as the All-Star, and may lead the Trail Blazers to the championship. But the reality is that other teams in the league have much lower evaluations of Hexon than Portland management, which means the Trail Blazers are making a big bet. For the Trail Blazers, the operation of obtaining an additional first-round pick through downward trading is worthy of recognition, but it would be better if they traded with the Hawks (the Hawks gave the No. 13 draw to the Pelicans for the No. 23 draw and the first round of 2026)

Lakers: After completing two transactions, the Lakers used cash to increase the draft pick from 55th to 36th pick to win Thierro! Although his three-point shooting percentage in college was only 28%, his amazing steals and blocking percentage showed his defensive potential. As long as he developed a passing line, he had hope to gain a foothold on the court.
