From left, Michigan players forward Morez Johnson Jr. (21), forward Yaxel Lendeborg (23), center Aday Mara (15) and guard Elliot Cadeau (3), guard L.J. Cason (2) watch the last seconds of the game against Howard from bench at the NCAA Tournament First Round at KeyBank Center in Buffalo on Thursday, March 19, 2026.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been holding daily votes to determine your big board for prospects heading into the 2026 NBA Draft.  Without further ado here is the 2026 Community Draft Board as voted on by you, the fans:

  1. AJ Dybantsa, F, BYU
  2. Cameron Boozer, F/C, Duke
  3. Caleb Wilson, F/C, North Carolina
  4. Darryn Peterson, G, Kansas
  5. Darius Acuff Jr., G, Arkansas
  6. Kingston Flemings, G, Houston
  7. Keaton Wagler, G, Illinois
  8. Mikel Brown Jr., G, Louisville
  9. Brayden Burries, G, Arizona
  10. Yaxel Lendeborg, F, Michigan
  11. Aday Mara, C, Michigan
  12. Labaron Philon, G, Alabama
  13. Cameron Carr, G/F, Baylor
  14. Nate Ament, F, Tennessee
  15. Morez Johnson Jr., F, Michigan
  16. Ebuka Okorie, G, Stanford
  17. Jayden Quaintance, F/C, Kentucky
  18. Allen Graves, F, Santa Clara

It should be noted that in years past (particularly from 2010-2018) had the Kings just drafted according to the Sactown Royalty/Kings Herald draft board, they would have either chosen the same person or someone better.  I’m not sure if that’s a credit to us or simply an indictment of past front offices (probably moreso the latter given this team’s historical incompetence).

Let us know in the comments if you would have voted for anyone lower or higher now based on the last few weeks of research and draft prep.  Is there anyone not on the list that you personally think should have been on there?  And is there anyone you’re hoping for in the second round that might not have appeared here?  We’ll find out if any of these players are future Sacramento Kings soon enough, as the draft is just over a week away.
