2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I wonder if there is a place in the modern nba for a guy like Zach Edey. The guy is massive and so productive.

Keyonte George had some really impressive offensive plays yesterday, but also showed how loose he can be with the ball, and he played defense like a turnstyle in the 2nd half.

That game is the epitome of why George only shoots 34% from 3. He has such a great shooting stroke but takes so many tough shots. He and Lauri would be a really deadly combo in the pick and roll/pop.

Man, I’d have a hard time taking Scoot over Brandon Miller. Shooting is the most important skill in todays NBA, and length might be 2nd. I get scoot is ridiculously explosive and talented, but man taking a 6’2 dude who can’t shoot is incredibly risky when you have a long, athletic 6’9” sharpshooting scorer sitting there on the board.

Then scoot would become the healthy version of Derrick Rose and I’d be fired.

I like Miller but his lack of creation ability is also a major concern
 
Based on where we're currently slated to pick I'd probably prefer:
13. Cason Wallace | PG | Kentucky
16. GG Jackson | F | South Carolina
27. Leonard Miller | F | G-League

I’d still probably prefer that the Jazz drop in the standings and get an opportunity to draft a better player than Wallace, but I wouldn’t hate that draft. Really like the upside of GG and Miller. Not sure either guy is available at those spots when it’s all said and done. Definitely want to see the Jazz draft multiple wing-sized players and hope one of them blows up.

I hope we get to 5th or 6th but we keep winning damn games. Leonard Miller is one of my favorite prospects in the class, I'm surprised he's still considered a late FRP type of dude.

I know 6th doesn't seem that far but I think right now I'd be happy with 8th or 9th... I think the Toronto and Indiana wins were must lose games if we wanted to get to 6th-ish.

If the Blazers/Wizards/Raptors win their next game we'll already be at 9th IIRC. We're 1.5 games ahead of the Lakers, 2.5 games ahead of the Bulls, and 3 games ahead of the Pacers. Hopefully those teams get hot down the stretch.

6'10" with a 7'3" wingspan and some guard like skills, his jumper is disgusting right now, but I think he'll be a top 20 pick on draft night.

To me he is Jared Vanderbilt with actual rim attacking ability and better size. Love him. Definitely lottery for me.

And I don't think his jumper is too bad. It's definitely funky, but it at least looks natural for him.

That's a pretty good comparison for him, he's playing well in the G-League but gets lost in the Scoot sauce.

Only problem our next 5 are OKC, SA, SA, @OKC, @OKC.

Realistic worst case is maybe 2-3, but 3-2 is probably more likely.

After that our schedule gets a lot tougher though.
