2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Dante was everyone's number 4 pick (if not higher) and Gordon was a surprise. Holland is already being mocked behind us, if we really wanted him we would still draft him.....but it is clear to me that we're not going to be drafting him at 10.

Tony also said he hadn't heard him mentioned and that the Jazz did want to get a look at him. I'm not like a huge believer in workout analysis but I think for someone like him I would want to see what the jumper is looking like in an open gym with some volume.

I don’t know where to put this but have wanted to mention since fuggin January:

I’m not a believer in Knecht. His athleticism looks fake to me. Poor man’s Wesley Johnson.

I think he can get up. I worry about the defense with him. His backstory is unique enough I am not too worried.

I'm not so sure. Lets wait and see... I think writing him off because he cancelled a workout is a mistake. Writing him off because he's not good enough is a different conversation.

He was unlikely to get drafted here in the first place, there were like 5 guys more likely and nobody has him higher us. Without a workout, probably not likely he jumps the line.

Givony straight up said that Holland should stop working out, or at least shooting in workouts because he's airballing so much. I haven't seen Givony so disgusted in two prospects Castle/Holland like this in a while lol.

Is Jazz the only team Holland cancelled on ?
Is he purposely avoiding Jazz cause he does not want to play here?

He cancelled. So apparently at one point they wanted to workout for the Jazz.

He did a lot of workouts and Utah is famous for hard workouts because of the altitude. I think the most obvious explanation is the correct one
 
A random thought about Dilly and Edey:

If this really is a 2013-quality draft, a high-end microwave scorer at any spot in the draft is a succsss, size/defense be damned. A rich-man’s Boban wouldn’t be bad either.

I think these are near Dilly‘s and Edey’s floors.

I also think Cody’s floor is a complete bust. I think a lot of the lottery prospects have similar floors.

He’s not quick, though. The speed of the burst is what’s most important. Grayson Allen can “get up” too, he just has to load up in a way that makes his hops worthless.

Listening to the Holland section now. Duncan is fairly combative for a podcast so I think that got Givony going.

Usually Givony pod appearances I hear the host just goes with what he says and Duncan seems to be pushing his own opinion more than most.
 
With guys like Topic, McCain, Carrington and Geoge available in the mid-late teens, not to mention Collier, there's interesting guard talent in that part of the draft. I can see why the Jazz would want a pick in that range.

But at 22 or later that is definitely a flier you take.

And yeah, I get it with Givony on the Holland stuff. At one point Nate says Holland has good feel and Givony went off on that and I agree. I watched Holland pull transition 3s off the dribble. That's not good feel when you are a sub 30% 3pt shooter.
