2023 NBA Draft Megathread

IDK, I still dont feel like a JHS guy. I like him, but I'm not wowed by him like some others are. Add him to the long list of solid prospects.

Does a Sidy Cissoko Boris Diaw comp work?

Didn't I see Sidy leaving from the free throw line to dunk over a dude (i think it was called a charge)
I dont remember Diaw being touted as very athletic. Seemed more like kyle anderson or joe ingles or something.

As a young player Diaw was VERY ATHLETIC!!! When he put on the lbs he was less so.

The no ceilings guys have slobbered over him so much and for so long that I'm over him... and I haven't really watched him much.

I like him for the Minny pick if we grab a wing with our own pick... I doubt he'd be the top guy on my board when we pick for the Wolves. I'll take my chances with Black.

Yeah, some people really do slob over him. I don't see anything worthy of slobbing but I'll give a nice stroke.

No ceilings did a mock draft... if you aren't familiar with them they are the nerdiest of draft nerds that ever nerded, but I like their stuff and the site looks really nice.

https://www.noceilingsnba.com/p/2023-nba-mock-draft-v5

They had their team do the mock... we ended with Wallace, Dick, Strawther... they had Hendricks at 10...

There may be some group think with them... but I think it would be fun to guess where a group of people who follow the draft all year ended up selecting Kyle Filipowski... like take a guess before you actually click the link. Again... not the end all be all.

Hard to take someone seriously that has Jett Howard at 7.

It was a group mock draft... not one person. 1 person out of 5 being too high on a player makes sense and simulates how it actually works in the nba better. That one particular person you may not agree with but the validity of the draft as a whole should not be discredited.

They also had Johnny Davis at 5. Sounds like a bunch of guys we should listen too.

KOC had Killian Hayes number 1… draft experts have to guess and project. I never said they were the end all be all… but they watch much more than all of us here.

iirc these guys were some of the first of the Jalen Williams truthers… lots of swings and misses among draft “experts”.
 
To circle back to Flip, a lot of the criticism he gets is "oh he's just Kelly Olynyk" but I've been watching Kelly Olynyk this year and the dude is ducking good and he looks like he can barely move at times.

If Flip is a taller longer more advanced at a younger age Olynyk who can actually rebound, why is that a bad thing unworthy of a teens consideration pick?

Truly everyone is bad at drafting. I think I had Davis higher than I would like to admit on my board last year.

But also guess where KOC has Flip?

Vecenie and others had him top 10. I hated Davis... its one of the few things it appears I got right. Its a guessing game and literally every experts rankings would look comically bad in hindsight.

They had Jalen at 17… not really a glowing endorsement. Mathurin at 10… etc.

I really don’t care if they watch more basketball than us. I don’t really know how to put this correctly but they’re no better than any of us on here.

Because there are other players that fill a greater need, probably higher upside, and we already have Olynyk.

KOC has plenty of misses. I don't use any of these guys to prove my opinion of a player. That’s the thing. If anything liking Flip in the lottery is a bolder take than anything anyone has mentioned because nobody has him even close to that.
