2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Its probably one of those things that will come up in 4-6 years. Kind of scary because he could hit early then you pay him big and his body breaks down.

And some of those things never really come to fruition… like with Malcolm Brogdon his foot was described as a ticking time bomb. Some of it like with Roy and Bender becomes career enders. In the teens I take that risk.

I believe he averaged more points than anyone in that range (not sure about the twins cause of the league they played in) and did it while not being considered a scorer or ball handler and did it more efficiently than all of them. Also rebounded decently and played very good defense. You could easily argue he was the best offensive player of the bunch and best defensive player of the bunch. Has size, length and athleticism. Just didn't have the magic hypothetical potential upside or whatever. He was basically the best player of the everyone picked in that range if you go off production. Production is what matters to me. Way more than what you hypothetically might could do.

And I watched him a few times during the year. I liked him really early… he gets his production all in the flow of what the team is doing. It was almost annoying they weren’t feeding him more. I really think he’s gonna be a little like Lauri… not touching the ball a ton… not forcing anything and then you look up and he’s got like 15 first half points.

What kinda sucks *** is Taylor and Lauri are both the types of dude we needed to pair with Don and Rudy… just seems like our timing is always off on these things.
 
So all that **** about drafting a playmaker that defends,being our highest goal, but its ok he cannot shoot is over right? Thanks God I don't have to watch AB on this team.
He will soon be forgotten by everyone, he isn't going to be any good in Orlando either.
I like our draft , I still hate passing up on Hawkins even for a hard to find archtype like Hendricks, and I do think Keonte has the moves to become a legit Sexton replacement in time. Brice is kind of a round mound type, hope he can handle the grind.
In the end lot of prospects left on the board at every spot I might have taken .
My draft would have been Hawkins 9 but I get taking Hendricks there. I def would not have let Cam or Whitehead injuries or not slide past 16 and stealing Leonard MIller at 28 ( wtf happenned to his stock?)

If you take out Cam we picked my 6th and 13th overall players on my big board at 9/16.

Based on some tweets I think we had the option to do the 9/16 and 7/26 swap. I think Henny may have been 9 in the tier but they were in the same tier. I think George and Bufkin were the top end bets at point guard but the floor on George could be a mid bench scorer. I didn't mind the swings they took... there is a lot of luck and I've been around long enough to have my only requirement be to understand the thought process behind the pick. Its sound and the guys are all very talented and George and Sensabaugh have some kinks to smooth out for sure.

In this case I would take Hendricks/George over Jarace/26 or Bilal/26.

So I guess Bilal was ahead of Hendricks, but not by a whole ton apparently. If the bidding war only amounted to two second round picks, then Utah must not have seen a big gap. Jazz could have easily bought that pick. Hope this doesnt come back to bite them in the ***.

I don’t know why you keep saying this lol. Indiana wanted Jarace and there is no guarantee Washington doesn’t take him at 8 if we trade up to 7.

Plus is the difference of Hendricks and Jarace/Bilal likely wasn’t big enough in our minds to even attempt that.
 
Elizah Huge said:
I didn’t even have Bilal in my top-20 and Jarace was 8th. I wouldn’t have even been made if we traded up to 7 for Hendricks if we felt like we had to. That’s how much I like him too.

I liked both Walker and Hendricks... not gonna pay a premium to move up and get one or the other... but my preference was Taylor.
