2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Most the Knicks can give IHart is 4/72M. I think a team like OKC will have no issue with 4/90-100M. Just an FYI.
 
How high would 10 + Kessler get us? My targets would be 5 with Detroit and 3 with Houston. Do either teams do that deal? Do we do either deal?

I think that is a lot... so it would have to be #3 for me. I think I'm only moving up if stuff is cheap. If Topic really is available at 10 I think that is wild and there is no need to trade up. If it is Knecht/Holland/Dilly I might be more motivated. Its going to be a weird lotto.
 
What is missing in 2025 and 2026 but is present in the 2024 draft will emerge. This is the year to get a center because the next two years the quality of center goes down. Your team gains a competitive advantage in the long-term. Clingan, Edey, Ware, and...surprise, surprise my fav Chomche has great chance as well because he will be better than most centers in the next two drafts.

Wings, guards, superstars are a different question.

Center prospects will emerge in those drafts. You just dont know who they are yet. I mean you're the dude blowing his load over Chomche. Im sure I could pick at random 3 four star centers' highlights and you'd be amazed.

His youth though, he could level up a couple of times. Has enough defense to be playable I like the idea of getting our big man depth (even a couple of them) in this draft and get the fancy wing player next year.

That might get 5 from Detroit if they target Knecht or Dillingham. However, they also like Jalen Duren, I think.

Maybe there’d be something where Memphis takes Kessler for #9, Jazz move up to 5, Detroit moves back to 9 for a future pick or player. Jazz stay at 10.

Or the Jazz could just deal 10 + asset for 5 and keep Kessler.
 
Zach Lowe doesn't think Memphis trades out of the draft. Givony said they like the draft. So not sure Kessler for #9 will be any kind of thing.
 
I think there should be more discussion about Collier vs Dillingham. Both were very high level shot creators with questionable defense. Dillingham was by far the better shooter, but Collier has a better NBA body. It's much more likely that Collier improves his shooting to NBA levels than Dillingham improves his body to NBA level.
The main thing I question with Collier is his overall touch. I think his defense improves a lot in the NBA w/ proper coaching.
 
Not to start a fight... but... how's everyone feeling about Flip. Where is he on yall's draft boards. Seems awfully quiet on him.
