2023 NBA Draft Megathread

So if Detroit drafts Ausar at #5, they're probably keeping him. If they draft Black or Walker, they're probably sending him to us.

Assuming you’re talking Bilal?

If so, you seem to be acting like everyone hates him, where what I am seeing is a lot of us like him a lot, but maybe a spot or 2 below where you have him.

Never really said anyone hates him, but you got to take these risk a bit higher than you might want to at times.

And it's hilarious EH liked that post when he clearly hates Bilal because he has gone great lengths to outright mischaracterize and lie about his game.

not to mention, we may disagree about his upside. i think most people are consistent as it relates to upside, it's the perception of upside that causes people to pull back a bit. i just question whether bilal's upside is that great. heck, i think the twins, who i have **** on all over this thread, have more upside that bilal. hence the reason i'd take ausar at 9 if he were available but would pass on bilal at 9.

the one thing everyone has locked in for so long is Dick to Orlando at 11... that is my hot take... Dick will not go 11.

If Wallace is on the board at 16 you take him... DA don't eff with me... the love of jazz fans everywhere will heal his back.

Generally speaking, if it's a muscular issue then it's fine. If he has connective tissue or bone injuries in his spine it's a different situation.

I have nothing to support this claim but it just seems to be more muscular than that his SPINE has a chronic issue.
 
Also a bit ironic that the Giannis draft 4 spots below him MCW was drafted and now 10 years later we have Bilal/Black w/ Black expected to go higher.

Are we going to repeat the mistake of history again?

Bilal just feels like throwing a dart a bit... like not sure who to take so give me the mystery bag. Now... DA has clearly done his homework here... so he has more and better info and I think that is CRITICAL with Bilal since he is such a fast riser.

I will say if you are going to swing... swing on wings with athleticism... so its not like we are taking a swing on a big, defensively limited combo guard, or something like that (if it happens).

It's funny to me we always talk about how important taking risk are and how you need high level talent, but when push comes to shove and you got a guy with huge upside staring you in the face you can't make the pick.

Just asking the Jazz to not put their car keys (#9) on the poker table.
