2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[The Midnight]

locke is a fan. he's not a scout and even scouts are wrong all the time. you don't need to take what he says as gospel.

I certainly don’t but it’s something to look for and discuss?

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Booner is the dude who told him about the thing OL said lmao

locke is dumb, but he's about 10x smarter than booner. boone might be a legit retard.

fair. yeah, he's just wrong on this one. i mean, walker might not be a good nba three point shooter, but it won't be due to shooting on the way down.

Oof

KOC said today his mocks are just him having fun and not Intel based at this point. I thought that was mostly obvious, but don't get your hopes up when he makes Whitmore drop to 9

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Boon is not great behind a mic but he is not dumb. Locke, on the other hand, plaguerizes the leagues smartest and throws stats around like he knows what they mean when he doesn't.

Oh yeah, and his nasal whining voice is still about as irritating as it gets behind the mic.

Locke banks on fans with a serious lack of something to listen to. Its quantity, not quality.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Boone is right shooting on the way down is a negative for 3pt shooting. Maybe Boone or Locke saw some shots early in the season when he did that, idk. Boone isn't stupid though, he just old and kind of slow (but probably damn fast relative to his agre group)

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Locke said on his lates podcast that Walker will not be able to shoot NBA 3s because he shoots it on the way down.

This kinda limits his ceiling right?

That’s really alarming imo.

The way a player shoots from mid-range isn't necessarily the same as shooting from 3pt range. Walker can make a subtle adjustment to shoot from NBA 3pt range. He can load up his shot a little earlier and use his legs more if he's shooting that far out. To say, "He won't be able to shoot," isn't necessarily true.

And here's Michael Jordan showing that his jumper can be effective when he shoots on the way down...

I saw a game that Victor shot on the way down. Teams shouldn't draft him and he should be grateful that the Jazz at 9 will throw pitty on him and draft him...

Pretty rich for one of the sites trashiest posters to talk about the intellectual merits about one of the hardest working dudes in media - at minimum - and using “nasally voice” as justification.

I’m sure you legitimately don’t know the difference between PLAGIARISM and citation/reference but you should look it up.

Waiting with bated breath for more peepee poopoo and boob jokes. Good stuff.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I don't get the sense that David Locke ever actually played basketball. Like, at any level.

I still don't get the hate Locke gets when he clearly qualifies his draft opinions are what they are and not quality. It's not like he is trying to pass off his draft opinions as valuable or something special.

People that hate Locke tell on themselves. Sure, he’s a shill and he has cringy takes but does that invalidate everything he does?

I legit think the hate he gets (different from legitimate criticism) is a sapling of this country’s deep-rooted tradition of anti-intellectualism and homophobia/misogyny.

“But he’s not a jock and he sounds like a girl/*code word for gay person because the fun words aren’t acceptable to say anymore*!” Neato.

I like when Boone announces games he’s actually super sharp for his old age.

Boone has some weird quirks, but I like his overall vibe.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Boone is a legend. Legends tend to be old. Old people have signs of wear. But yeah, what an idiot that guy is.

 

[NUMBERICA]

There’s a really funny overlap of people that irrationally hate Locke and like Boler cuz he has a cool voice even though he’s dim as a crawl space and blind as a bat. I learn more about the game on mute than listening to Boler actively get **** objectively wrong 40% of the time.

****ing lol.

I think this really encapsulates it perfectly.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Maybe cos that could expose his lack of NBA 3 point range?

It happens a lot in workouts... not just this one. I see the same thing in workout vids and the guy steps on the line like 5 times in a row. Like we are supposed to be working on everything here and it seems real sloppy.

Actually, I cant stand his voice therefore I do not know if he plagiarized or cited info.
