Malique Lewis selected as Mr. Irrelevant in 2026 NBA Draft

Malique Lewis from Trinidad and Tobago was chosen with the final pick, No. 60, in the 2026 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards, which later traded the pick to the Milwaukee Bucks. Lewis is viewed as a 'three-and-D' player, which aligns with the Bucks' strategy following a blockbuster trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo. This draft class also includes Brayden Burries and Nate Ament, adding depth to the Bucks' roster. While being Mr. Irrelevant often carries little pressure, Lewis aims for a successful career, drawing comparisons to Isaiah Thomas, another notable final pick who achieved significant success in the league.
