2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[NUMBERICA]

We definitely don’t talk about Leonard Miller enough. He should absolutely be in play for 16.

I feel like the draft flattens at about 16 through about 35. It could be that we draft someone at 16 that a lot of people feel is a reach and someone at 28 that a lot of people feel is a steal.

EH gets it!

I also think NSJ goes higher than we think which would be great for us.

1: Wemby
16: Bilal
28: Sidy

I could see OKC grabbing Bilal at #12.

They’ve got a boatload of picks they can afford to take a flyer.

Don’t think he’ll be there when we pick.

Lol sounds great. Pushing a better player down to us.

How do you know Bilal isn’t the better player?

 

[Elizah Huge]

How do you know Bilal isn’t the better player?

How do you know he is? See how stupid of a question that was?

You’re the one making the statement that better players will be pushed down right?

Back it up.

I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have fools bite on than NSJ.

Back it up.

We have more (and better) data on basically anyone else for one thing. With the prospects around 12, that data is mostly good. Therefore, more evidence and a greater level of certainty of the prospect in question.

Throw out a player you think he’s better than and I’ll tell you why he’s not.

 

[Elizah Huge]

I think our board in general gets hyper-fixated on a couple of guys and we tend to forget about dozens of other players. Hell, I’m guilty of this too a lot of the time.

 

[KqWIN]

If Bilal was named Chukwudi Oluwafemi Adebayo there's no shot in hell he gets by Toronto.

After listening to Locke all week, I'm starting to feel kind of depressed about this draft class.

I don’t know man I think this is one of the deepest drafts in a long time.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I'm listening to David Locke stuff. So to summarize, he likes Brandon Miller, Cam Whitmore, Gradey Dick, Jordan Hawkins, Taylor Hendricks, Brice Sensabaugh, Kobe Bufkin, Jalen Wilson so far....

He has concerns about Nick Smith, Anthony Black, Jalen Hood-Schifino and Keyonte George due to some combination of poor shooting and athleticism.

Yeah but it’s all just what you think.. your original statement was definitive.

Fact is nobody really knows right? Bilal could be Giannis lite for all we know and blitz the field beyond #9.

 

[The Midnight]

After listening to Locke all week, I'm starting to feel kind of depressed about this draft class.

Really? I’m more optimistic since he said this draft is inverted.. meaning we have a fair or better chance at a decent player with our #16 and #28.
