2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Also if you think I'm a Chomche hater, Sam Vecenie makes me look like a Stan. Not in his mock draft and pretty sure he's like outside his top 80 on his big board.
 
There is also significant expectation league-wide that Toronto could command a serious overnight offer for its No. 31 pick from a team looking to jump to the front of Thursday’s line and select its top remaining player. Essentially, no team in that range could offer players and their representation anything resembling a guarantee that they’d be standing pat.

Interesting note from Vecenie. Utah will be #2 so they will have a lot of time to field offers.
 
Vecenie said this about Holland — His range is seen as quite wide right now, especially because league sources were not particularly impressed by his recent pro day in southern California. He’ll need to perform well in his individual workouts.

I’m not a big Holland guy but there are tons that have him in their top-5.
 
Vecenie didnt really have anything that shocking.

He hasnt bumped up Salaun into the top 10 like some other national mocks. Has him at 12.

Filipowski at 15 is probably the highest I've seen him post-combine where a lot of people dropped him (which was always weird to me because I thought it was known he had short arms).

Walter at 22 is about the lowest I've seen IIRC.

Vecenie has AJ Johnson at 27 to the T'Wolves which just seems crazy to me. I think Vecenie is just filling in the back end of the first with guys he likes. I struggle to see the Wolves picking a 2 years away from being 2 years away guy, but what do I know. Just not an AJ Johnson fan at all.

KOC seems more reactionary. I think Vecenie is so deep in the weeds with his evaluations and more of a specialist so might have more conviction with his board earlier.
 
Topic kinda a perfect pick at 10. Already have a bunch of young guys that need time. Let him do his thing and rehab. When we decide to tank post ASB getting Topic minutes can be part of the reasoning. Obviously great talent and fit. Still needs to get past SA imo.
 
@infection is a partial ACL tear a surgery or does it heal with rehab?

It would depend on the extent of the tear but for a young athlete I'd guess it's almost certain it'd be surgery. I don't have opinions on ACL tears and surgery but, in general, when you're talking about different orthopedic surgeries, there ends up being a selection bias where data is going to show better outcomes with surgery than conservative management, but that's because anyone who's healthy is going to be a candidate for surgery and younger vs. a bunch of older and sicker people who aren't as stable for surgery are obviously going to have "worse outcomes," so it's not a great control.

Anyway, the bias is always toward intervention in medicine (speaking very generally... there are plenty of exceptions).
