2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[SoberasHotRod]

Black is superior to Wallace in almost everything. It sounds like all of the draft and NBA guys agree with me as well. DX has Black at 8 and Wallace at 17 which Givony does based off of intel. I’ve been trying to tell everyone.

Wallace is a better shooter, defender, and I think they are about equal in passing and ball handling. What do you mean by almost everything?

Because the draft order is always the right order

If we can grab a wing at 9, then I would be fine with JHS at 16. I would be pretty disappointed if he was the pick at 9.

It sounds like some teams may be spooked by the back injury… MP Jr fell like 7-9 spots… I could see that happening here.

Watching some highlights of JHS. Will need to change his shot profile instead of the 15-18 footers those will need to be threes… and he will need to make a lot more. I guess I see the potential but it’s a much better bet at 16 and he’s not good enough to worry about trading up from 16. Give me Wallace/Black/Bufkin/George all before him.

I like him and so would I

 

[Bodhi]

I’ve been high on Bufkin but I’m getting more bullish the closer we get to the draft

I love him… I’d attempt to make him a pg so you could shift up in size but that dude nasty and he plays D.

Man, if one of the wings could slip to us at 9 and then Wallace slip to us at 16....I would be pretty ecstatic.

Black rising is great news for the Jazz.

Black rising is great news for the Jazz.

It sucks because now we likely would have to move up to get him but it also means Ausar/Hendricks/Cam might fall.

I think better defender is debatable and Black is definitely the superior passer.

but it also means Ausar/Hendricks/Cam might fall.

Bro, that doesn’t suck, not 1 little bit…

I said might… I like Black more than all of those guys except Ausar.

Not in shooting though..

So Andre Jackson ahead of GG Jackson. Bobi Klintman shut down workouts so he could go 53. Sidy drops to 40. Nick Smith ahead of Keyonte, Cason and Kobe.

Someone is playing games with Givony and ESPN.

Or Givony is trying to get clicks for the page.

Or Givony is trying to get clicks for the page.

Why would he risk his reputation for that lol. It’s on ESPN’s paid subscription and a pretty niche topic. His Intel has been solid especially as the draft gets closer. I remember he had Bagley to the Kings over Doncic for weeks and no one believes him.
