2023 NBA Draft Megathread

When you throw a guy in the corner, or when you get a guy to be 3 and D for that matter, dont you want them to space the floor and knock down threes? Black only attempted 2.6 threes per game in 35 minutes and made them at 30% clip (they were probably wide open too). I mean if im playing against Blacks team then im HOPING that his team has him chillin on the three point line without the ball. I would tell my players to not even guard him. Leave him open out there and hope he shoots it. Beg him to shoot it.

Man I just looked at his stats for the first time and im surpised how poor they are. Played lots of minutes (35 per game) so I expected high assist numbers if nothing else. 3.9 assists is WAY less than I was expecting. 5 rebounds is decent. 70.5% from the free throw line isn't going to cut it. 45% from the field is a little subpar for me. 30% from three isn't good. 3 turnovers per game is bad. 2.1 steals is great though.

From what I can tell looking at stats is that Black is a poor shooter, doesn't get many assists, turns it over too much (basically same amount of turnovers vs assists), is a decent rebounder and good defender with good size. That aint doing it for me. I was shocked by the assist to turnover ratio. I knew he was a poor shooter but thought he would average like 8 or 9 assists and 1-2 turnovers. I was already sour on him but now even more so.

He’s been billed as this floor general and I have seen 0 indication he should be spoken of in such terms. He makes good reads, is unselfish, and sees the floor well. Great. But he’s nowhere near Alonzo Ball or Josh Giddey or whatever ridiculous comp in that vein.
 
When one player is so much better in your mind that it’s not even close I would be surprised one went way higher than the other. That’s just me though I guess.
 
No Bilal update from @KqWIN today? Mets 92 got blown out by 23 in Game 1 of their Finals. Bilal had 7 points. People are saying he was the worst player on the floor multiple times today.

Wemby had 8 points. Perhaps he will be a bust.

I don’t think he will be a bust at all but people need to chill out on him leading SA to anything significant anytime soon. The team they are playing is one of the top teams in Europe with multiple former NBA players.

It’s also just one game we will see how the rest of it plays out. I was just giving KqWIN a hard time because he would have posted Bilal’s stats immediately after the game if he played good.

They get the least favorable pick out of these in 2024:

1st-round pick (OKC)
1st-round pick (LAC)
1st-round pick protected 1-4 (HOU)
1st-round pick protected 1-10 (UTA)

I would definitely trade 28 for that pick straight across. Not sure if Denver does it but they could package 28/37 to move up even more.

What he said makes no sense.. that JHS could crack the top 10 or drop down to the 15-18 range..

Um.. if he could be there at 15-18, why the reach?

If you like JHS more than anyone else in that range and don’t think he makes it to 16 you either take him at 9 or trade back a couple of spots to where you think you could still get him.
