We’re back with more coverage of the class of 2026! It’s great to be here live on Dynatyze in such a rocking community.
If you haven’t read my Substack article announcing Dizzle Dynasty’s partnership with Dynatyze, you can find that here, where I essentially cover much of the same information. However, in the spirit of the holidays and the mania around the class, I’ve got two boards for you today.
2026 Dynasty Basketball Rookie Rankings 1.0
First up, we’ve got the first installment of my dynasty rookie rankings for the players likely to come into the 2026 NBA Draft. I’ve ranked my comprehensive top 60 order for how I would be drafting them in a dynasty rookie draft if it happened today (minus two players yet to be made available in our prospect pool, Amarri Monroe of Quinnipac and Tarris Reed Jr. of UConn). This list is purely based on my fantasy perspective with some correlation to the real thing, divided into tiers. I consider rookie drafts conducted in tiers to be a smart process in navigating value tied to picks and players, so this will remain a staple on each update.
You can find these rankings here via Dynatyze, complete with notes for every player:

Here is also some loose notes about this class I compiled:
• So, everything you’ve heard about this class and the hype behind the crop of elite prospects? It’s all true and as good as advertised. Having a top 3 pick in this draft is going to feed you for a long time to come and having one of Boozer, Peterson or Dybantsa sets you up with a star and a top 15-30 asset from Day 1. You absolutely need to come away with one of them in your drafts if you’re tanking out the year. If any one of them doesn’t get a minimum of one All-Star nod in their careers, that would shock me.
