35 for Flip is ridiculous

Too early?

Too early?

Way too early... should be in the 50s!




Thanks for playing along.

2023 NBA Draft BIG Board V.6

The No Ceilings crew comes together for V.6 of their 2023 NBA Draft Big Board

No Ceilings has a new composite big board out.

Not huge Dick fans apparently…

35 for Flip is ridiculous

I think Flip should be about 10 picks earlier. I think Leonard Miller at 34 is even more extreme than that. I also don't think I've ever seen Colby Jones as early at 19 before. Usually not until the middle of the 2nd round.

They are doing some good stuff but have some group think on sleepers they like... but they also are pretty early to identify sleepers that rise on other big media outlet later in the process. JHS has been their dude forever... I think they are too high on him and a few others. I do think there is a case to be made that Hawkins could be better than Dick... but not sure how you rationalize Jett ahead of either guy.

I think I'd honestly have Flip in the 30s.

Listening to Barlowe on Locked on Big Board and he said Keyonte George told him he played at a heavier weight than he wanted to this season. Started the season at 220 supposedly and is now 205.

Barlowe also met GG recently and said he thinks he's 6'10.

I still think the Thompson twins should count as just one pick. Would we take the pair at 1 over Wemby?

I probably would. Like default, I think I am in the minority too.

**** no

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

**** no

But what if you are allowed to play both of them at the same time with 4 other players... so long as they are riding on one another's shoulders?

The full raincoat getup? Tempting...

Wemby still probably taller and better though.

Starting to feel like Hendricks is gonna go 8 :/

Right now Orlando is the 8th slot and I doubt they would draft Hendricks.

What makes you say that? Who is obviously preferable?

He is just starting to feel like his own tier after the first 7. In part because I don’t know who has enough athletic 6’ 10” forwards that can switch 1-5, are high-level shotblockers, and 3-point shooters.

Sarah Todd said Danny Ainge faked out the Sixers and made it seem like they wanted Thybulle which forced Philly to take him earlier than they wanted. Interesting insight.

For the Magic? Cason Wallace. I think they would take Hawkins before Hendricks tbh.

Taylor Hendricks shot 44% on layups this season FYI. He's not an infallible prospect.

If he was he would go top-5 easily.

Some brutal finishing against middle tier competition/size.
