2026 NBA Draft grades: How each team fared in the first round

The Post’s Zach Braziller grades the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft.The best player in his class since the eighth grade, the 6-foot-9 wing is wired to score.It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him lead the league in scoring one day.

Perhaps most importantly for the chronically rebuilding Wizards, Dybantsa is an intense competitor.He won’t just sit back and accept more losing.Grade: AThere is some risk involved, despite Peterson’s prodigious talent.

He was unreliable in his lone year at Kansas, missing 11 games and good chunks of several second halves due to an assortment of mysterious injuries.Nobody is questioning his talent — he has the highest upside of anyone in this draft.Grade: A-Boozer will enter the league with a chip on his shoulder.

This pick will age poorly.The Clippers passed on three better players — now and in the future.Grade: DAt least the Nets didn’t reach for Wagler, thanks to the Clippers.

I would’ve gone with Acuff from Arkansas, but as long as Brown’s back isn’t an issue — and the Nets met with him several times, so one would think they aren’t concerned about it — the shot-making guard out of Louisville has the potential to be a difference-maker in the backcour...
