2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Fine, then feel free to make a big board and rank Bailey ahead of JHS and be insanely wrong.

i made a big board and ranked JHS higher. iow, i like jhs more, but it's close. they are comparable.

Amen is the player that gives me the most queasiness to pick/pass on. He's probably going number 4....I just have no idea what kind of player HOU is getting and I don't love the development program they've got there. I don't even know who they should take instead though. Don't like Cam in HOU either. There would be no passing ever. I would try to trade out of that pick if I were them.

They should want Walker or Hendricks there. I honestly agree they should trade back to grab one of those guys and get whatever they can get in the process.

The "we" in this tweet is Toronto Raptors. Jazz would be flipping 16 + 28 for 13 from Toronto. I'd be thrilled if we could do that. George, Wallace, Hood-Schfinio all in play. Maybe Bufkin or Bilal as well.

This would make a lot of sense. Take a wing at 9 and then get a point guard at 13.

I would hate this draft so bad.

I kinda like it. We need defense and a real lead guard, though.

I wonder if the cost would be sufficiently low to move up that it is like 9 and a future first?

If Gradey Dick is our pick at 9, this board will melt down and there could be a riot at the Delta Center.

Jazz are looking at 6 guards right now: Black, Bufkin, Wallace, George, Hood-Schifino and probably one of the Thompsons. That's just a ton of guards in the 7 - 16 range.

And three or 4 will be there at 16. That is why the jazz should go big at 9.

They aren't. If they were there would be talk about Bailey going in the lottery and instead it's a question if he will go in the first round.

I challenge you to find a successful NBA PG who average more turnovers than assist at any point in their college career. You might **** around and find one, and they are probably going to be an elite scorer, which Bailey is not.

Edwards from the athletic is saying the pistons really like Hendricks & Ausar. Could be smoke but that could be one possible trade-up opportunity for us if we want Cam

"[Edwards] Im hearing the Pistons will be strongly considering 5 prospects if they stay put at No. 5: Amen and Ausar Thompson, Cam Whitmore, Jarace Walker & Taylor Hendricks. Hendricks, in particular, impressed in front of Pistons execs & coaches. Ausar also has some big supporters in the Pistons’ FO"

Make the trade with the Pistons and get Bogey back too!

I will cool the place down with Reggie Miller comparisons.

But he’s the down payment.

I'd be fine with it as long as we moved up to get JHS/Bufkin/Wallace.

 

[Elizah Huge]

We could do a lot worse than Dick at 9. We could take someone like Bilal which would be catastrophic.

If we did use #16 to move up in this draft, what are the best ways we move up from #28? Salary relief for GS, Miami, Brooklyn?

I like Dick but I think there will be better options at 9, and I'm just not a big fan of Keyonte.

both Dick and Bilall are big mistakes at #9, but OK a few picks later

Locke did 28 for 21 and Patty Mills, so something like that.

28 for Payton II and 19
28 for Oladipo and 18

I had a whole thread on it... tldr....

28 and Ko for 15 and John Collins - saves them an *** ton of money an gives them a JC replacement for a year. Also could do 28 for 15 and John Collins and they have full MLE available.
28 for GP@ and 19
28 for Oladipo and 18 - Could also do something with Robinson here.
28 and THT (or KO) for Joe Harris and 21 - 28 for patty mills and 21... both save them some money.
28 and KO to Houston for 20 - Gets them a vet who they loved while he was there.
