2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

The way people are talking about this draft, especially at the top...

Feels like the #1 pick could be had for pretty cheap. I'd be fine with the Jazz taking a swing on Sarr while also helping them get worse going into next year...

Sarr is crushing it today though. Big measurements and good vert. I think he moves to consensus #1 status and the price is not HIGH but maybe not cheap. Probably 10 and two future firsts is the fair window maybe? Outside of Lauri and Walker I am not sure what we can really offer Atlanta. I doubt they enter a rebuild unless they can get their picks back from SA. I think from 2 on there could be a ton of movement. If I was Atlanta I'd move Trae and take Sarr and go from there.

If I was Atlanta I'd move down to a lower spot in the lottery and take Clingan. Try to sell the top pick for a really solid starter and some draft capital. Clingan fits better for what they want to do and can be high level fairly quickly. Sarr might be the better prospect, but the Clingan fit is elite with Trae and will be the better player for Atlanta.
 
I don't want to be accused of dick ridding so will need to be careful here. I think @Saint Cy of JFC is on to something with Sandfort. 6-7 (rounding) with a +2 wingspan and best shooter in the draft... If he is there at 29/32 take him all day.

The Jazz's future picks, including other teams' picks, are too unknown to have much trade value yet. I don't think the Jazz can trade into the top 3 without moving Lauri, unfortunately.

Maybe I'd do that. I think all the bigs measured really well. Not super surprising but my hell they are huge humans.

I could see Washington biting because of where they are in the process and the fact they have not a lot of extra picks. May not want to lock in on a center or pg of the future so take a couple picks and move back.

Kessler and 10 for #1

Offer them the Lakers pick and a Cavs pick and 10. Getting Sarr would speed us up a year but we would still be bad enough for 2025.
 
If it weren't for the foot injury, Clingan's production and measurables would likely make him the potential #1 pick in this draft. Actually he might be a better fit next to someone like Trae assuming ATL keeps him.

Houston is probably very open to moving the #3 pick. They want shooting, but I doubt they'll take Sheppard at #3. Knecht would be a great fit for them.

I think they try to move it in a package for a veteran player. Woj mentioned they could still have interest in Mikal Bridges.

I wouldn't be completely sold on Risacher or Buzelis if I'm drafting in the 3 - 5 range. I might look at Holland and Williams there instead. Washington should take Topic.
 
Saint Cy of JFC said:
A convo for sure, but I wouldnt invest too much into trading up. I'm fine at 10 and taking who falls.

this is the approach. Unless there is someone they LOVE... Holland, Williams, Risacher, Castle.... last two unlikely. Take one and be happy.
