Aday Mara impresses with his measurements at the Combine and aims for a top-10 pick
Spanish delivers numbers unseen in Combine history, and his stock for the NBA Draft 2026 keeps rising.
Aday Mara is aiming higher in the NBA Draft 2026, attracting the attention of many franchises due to his potential, intensifying this trend after what happened at the NBA Combine. The measurements taken on the Spaniard show data almost unheard of in the league's history, and more and more forecasts place him in the top-10.
It's official now. Aday Mara promises thrilling moments in the NBA, and there is a growing interest in him throughout the competition. And rightfully so. The Combine measurements reveal staggering data: the Spanish player stands at 2.22m, has a wingspan of 2.31m, and a vertical jump reach of 3.01m. Since these measurements began, only Tacko Fall has achieved a higher vertical reach, while the data regarding his wingspan is comparable only to that of Gobert. This has opened the eyes of some franchises, who see Mara as a serious prospect to bet on.
🇪🇸🇺🇸 Tremendous measurements for Aday Mara

2.22m height
2.31m wingspan
3.01m vertical reach with feet on the ground
Only Tacko Fall has reached higher since these parameters have been measured before the draft. https://t.co/vt9QSZtGmb
This is why in the Mock Drafts conducted right after the Combine, the chances are increasing for Aday Mara to be chosen in the top-10, specifically at pick 8. It's up to the Atlanta Hawks, who would like an inside player to pair with Jalen Johnson, providing defensive intimidation and offensive solutions to elevate the team's quality. Despite Oklahoma City Thunder making his recruitment a priority, the Mavs, Bucks, or Warriors could also take the lead.
Post-lottery results, one prospect garnering a ton of attention as a trade-up target is Aday Mara.

Many NBA scouts are zeroing in on the Thunder as a logical destination for Mara as an immediate Isaiah Hartenstein replacement, who has a $28.5 million team option for 2026-27. pic.twitter.com/8VOkE7H0kN
