2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Jake Fischer's article from yesterday. If it's true that Memphis wants front-court help, the Spurs should be confident they can trade back to 10 and get their choice of Carter, Dillingham or Topic. With the 8th pick, the Jazz would be in better range to trade up to 5 or 6.

With Bulls' roster shakeup underway, is Zach LaVine the next piece on the move?

With the draft and free agency looming, a number of teams are primed and preparing for their season of change.

I think Sarr and Clingan could go 1 and 2. I also think at 8 Dilly and Topic are almost guaranteed to be there based on the current rumblings.

Shut the hell up Jesus Christ. He can't score. How is he going to get buckets I. The half court? U less he's on a roster with incredible spacing from the other 4 players he isn't getting efficient buckets ever.

Yes if you gave him the ball with unlimited touches and non consequences he can get you points, but no one is doing that unless they are trying to put the tank into 20 straight losses territory

Calm down buddy. It will be okay.
 
This is from Givony from yesterday:

The buzz right now is that Sarr sees himself as a 4 and doesn’t want to go to Atlanta for some reason. He’s nearly a lock to go 2 to WAS.

Atlanta is looking at taking Risacher at 1 or trading back 2-3 slots for Clingan.

Houston is still open to trading their pick. With Charlotte looking to move up for Sheppard and both Portland and Memphis wanting Clingan, along with possibly Atlanta, it seems there’s a solid chance Houston’s pick could move. There definitely seems to be a market for it.

Castle is expected to go either 4 to SAS or 6 to CHA.
 
If the Jazz want Cody Williams, I think they probably need to trade up to 5 or 6. Maybe there’s a scenario where he gets to 8 and the Spurs are willing to trade back to 10, but I wouldn’t count on either of those things.

Also from an article I read, can't recall form whom, it sounds like Holland is more of a game player and not a guy who really locks in during practice.

Really? First time I'm hearing this. Everything that talks about his intangibles/motor gives him glowing reviews, it's one of the reasons I'm high on him.

Found it....yeah, I'm one to kind of dismiss this stuff, but this is a very bad look for Holland.

Peavy knew Holland was talented enough to play on a loaded Duncanville team from the minute he enrolled in school. What he learned quickly is that he wasn’t mature enough to handle real minutes.

“Ron probably got kicked out of practice more than anybody I’ve ever coached,” Peavy told SB Nation. “He loved working out, but he didn’t love practice.”

“The monotony of doing shell drills, getting on the line running, you know, stuff that nobody likes,” Peavy said. “Ron wasn’t mature enough to understand, hey man, this is going to get you better. You just have to do it.”

Duncanville always had so much talent on the roster that Peavy said he could teach Holland a lesson with playing time early in his career for his poor practice habits. The 2020 team in Holland’s freshman year was led by Micah Peavy, David’s son, who has enjoyed a productive four-year career for TCU. Zhuric Phelps was the team leader during his sophomore year before going on to a standout college career at SMU. Black transferred in as a junior, and Arizona forward K.J. Lewis joined as a senior.

During Holland’s four years in high school, Duncanville went 119-8, with tons of banners to show for it. That doesn’t mean coaching Holland was always easy.

“He would have one good day, then he would have two bad days at practice,” Peavy said. “By his sophomore year, he was having one good day, one bad day. Eventually I realized he could play through his mistakes, because talent-wise, we needed him.”

Because there is no certainty regarding what Atlanta is doing and teams have no idea who holds power in the org. It's a mess until they make some franchise defining moves.

Yeah, he has motor and intangibles during the game is the point

Not saying that's how he currently is, but it was what he was known for in HS.

Checks out logically because his jumper is awful despite not having any clear mechanical flaws

Do we think he just doesn't have the drive and determination to just spend hours and hours in the gym piling up repetitions?
