2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Elizah Huge]

His guy at 9 would be Bufkin, so…

I’m glad he is not a part of the FO.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Bro… please take a step off of the ledge. 11 for a ****ING BACKUP???

Backup CENTER, no less.

 

[stitches]

Draft was done before his Bufkin thing

This makes sense. This is why he drafted Wallace over Bufkin...

 

[NUMBERICA]

Jazz take Cason at 12... as a Cason believer I am good with the trade back and pick.

Wait, after all of the **** about Bufkin, Locke picks Cason? Silly.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Yeah, Locke took Wallace. He said today he would probably have changed his pick if they did it today (meaning Bufkin), but I'm pretty sure this draft was done a week or so ago before he had his Bufkin revelation.

Ah.

Wait, after all of the **** about Bufkin, Locke picks Cason? Silly.

Cy is saying this production was probably done before he watched Bufkin so... that would make sense..

Way to be prepared Locke!

[Coach Ellis]

I have heard Bilal and Lively are moving up draft boards potentially even top 10 and even Keyonte, and Dick could get up there too. I hope this happens and some players drop to us.

Lively doesn’t surprise me tbh. He’s basically the consensus #2 center (depending on how you project Wemby) from a school with a long-standing tradition of producing NBA players. I wouldn’t draft him there, but I like him a LOT more than some other centers that have been drafted in the top 10 in past seasons.

 

[framer]

Locke is doing nasty work. Trading down from 9 with Black and Hendricks there is horrendous.

He did this like two weeks ago.

 

[Elizah Huge]

He did this like two weeks ago.

Does that change anything?

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Yeah didn't stop Lamelo from going 3rd

Are you being serious? Lmao

whose big board is that?

 

[Elizah Huge]

whose big board is that?

His

 

[seattlejazzfan]

His

ah. i hadn't noticed jhs at 5 or i would have known

 

[NUMBERICA]

Here's another hypothetical. Portland calls you and offers you 3(Scoot) for 9+Walker Kessler. Take it or leave it?

What if I told you you can get Dereck Lively II at 16(or with small trade up using 28) to replace Kessler?

Yes, but with another twist: just go after Porzingis afterward and do whatever you want with 16.

Locke took Leonard Miller at 16

 

[stitches]

That's a good draft. I don't mind it. We get our own 2024 pick back. We get Cason Wallace and Leonard Miller... solid draft. I wouldn't mind.
