Episode Details

German big man Hannes Steinbach, a top rebounder in the 2026 NBA Draft, recently worked out for the Warriors and could be selected as early as 11th overall. Standing 6’11” like Dirk Nowitzki, Steinbach led college rebounding at Washington with 11.8 boards per game and 22 double-doubles. Scouts praise his hands, IQ, and rebounding ability, comparing him to Hartenstein and Sabonis — though some see him as a less polished Alperen Şengün. He’s working to improve his 34% three-point shooting and defensive spacing. While not being called the next Dirk Nowitzki — who entered the league with more refined offense — Steinbach is focused on growth, learning from veterans, and embracing the draft journey.
