2023 NBA Draft Megathread

High school prospect dunk highlights slapped in 2003.

Not so much in 2023.
All I care is his name is Dink and Dick's name is Dick... I'm here for the innuendo analysis.
 
Signing Kris Dunn isn't full tank.
Signing Kris Dunn is adding an asset to the portfolio IF it goes well. I think it very much fits with the theme of accumulating assets even if (or maybe especially if) the team loses games.

I think Dunn could actually (help) fetch something more enduring for the rebuild (Clippers as part of a larger deal? Chicago?).

In any event, 10-day guys aren’t supposed to help you win.
 
Alright... gonna attempt a top 20 since we have the 16th pick.

1-Wemby
2-Scoot
3-Miller
4- Whitmore
5-Amen
6- Ausar
7- Tay Henny
8- Walker
9- Wallace
10- Black
11- Hawkins
12- Dick
13- Keyonte
14- Bufkin
15- Howard
16 - Sidy
17 - Whitehead
18 - Bilal
19- Sensabaugh
20- Leonard Miller


Man right at the 15/16 range it gets tough for me. Assuming no one awesome falls I wonder if we could do a 16 and 28 for 21 and 22 deal with Brooklyn. I think there is a small chance Hawkins or George are there at 16 so I wouldn't do it until we were on the clock.

I think this is super solid. Whitmore over Amen and Hendricks over Walker are both pretty bold though.

I do my list in tiers, but very close to what I have. Of the top of my head I have:

Higher:
Walker
Bilal

Lower
Hendo
Hawkins


Otherwise everyone else is next to someone in their tier....and nobody is off by more than one tier.
 
Today is supposed to be coin flip day I think... some fairly high stakes flips going on.

No surprise that your familiar (me) pretty much has the same board (different order of Black/Grady/Hawkins and GG is firmly in the conversation for #16) and agrees with maybe swapping out the Wolves/Sixers picks with the Nets picks depending on how the draft plays out.

I want to put Bilal higher... but just not quite enough draft internet nerd hype yet. I would be happy if we took him somewhere though.

GG is just kind of on my do not draft list. I don't like the ball hogginess or the attitude/immaturity stuff. I would take him with a pick in the 20s but 16 just is too high and there are other guys I will like more.

I could see everyone feeling totally dumb about Hawkins or Dick dropping into the late lotto. I think Hawkins might be able to scale his scoring easier but Dick does a lot of stuff as a connector which I love. That's a tough one for me.

Yeah and I know I'm likely in the minority there. I get the appeal... Hendricks is very much I kind of dug in on Walker vs. Hendricks and am gonna ride it...

Hawkins is also bad around the rim, right? Guys that have gravity at the 3-point line AND the rim have serious value in stretching/scrambling the defense. I just think Dick is a better talent with more dimension to his game. Hawkins is obviously lights out but a lot of prospects have been.
