PodcastThe 2026 Do Not Draft ListAugust 26, 2026

From the episode

I would not be using a sacraman pick of Malik Nabors. And again, he tore his ACL. He had this meniscus cleanup in May... it's not as linear always with the recovery, with the ACL and the meniscus. It's not like a clean injury.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Avoid Nabers due to lingering injury concerns and recovery uncertainty.

The source advises against drafting Malik Nabers due to concerns over his recovery from ACL and meniscus surgery, specifically noting lingering range of motion issues seven months post-op. The source is skeptical of his ability to play a full 17-week season and warns that any setback would be costly.
