Follow every pick as it happens. We're tracking both rounds of the 2026 NBA Draft live, with instant updates as teams make their selections.

As the 2026 NBA Draft unfolds, we're tracking the best players still on Sam Vecenie's Top 100 board -- updated in real time after every pick.

Dallas is finalizing a deal to hire the 49-year-old May. The last time a college head coach made the NBA jump, it didn't go so well.

One of May's ex-staffers called him "Dusty May Stevens," referring to college-turned-NBA coach Brad Stevens. Now he's on the same path.

There's still some uncertainty about the No. 1 pick, but trades and surprises could happen a little farther down the board Tuesday.

Boynton previously coached Oklahoma State for seven seasons, including one year with No. 1 recruit Cade Cunningham.

May led Michigan to a national championship earlier this year.

Wagler, No. 261 in his recruiting class, is the rare one-and-done freshman who didn't set out with that as the goal.

"There's meaning behind every single thing I do in life," the Louisville guard said. "Everything you do should be purposeful."

We all love a little pandemonium on draft night. What if that happens this Tuesday?
