2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Shortlist of Players Who Could Be In Play at 9: Ausar, Hendricks, Black, Wallace, Coulibaly, Dick

Shortlist of Players Who Could be In Play at 16: George, Bufkin, Hood-Schifino, Jackson, L. Miller, Smith Jr.
 
Today is the first day that David Locke acknowledged the existence of GG Jackson. Granted, it was brief, but the idea was that the Jazz could take their 1st choice of guard at #9 and get GG at #16. It's the reverse of taking a wing like Hendricks at #9 and hoping a guard they like falls to #16.

Personally, I'd take Bilal or Bufkin at #9 and GG at #16.
 
Suns are really eating 15.8M of guaranteed salary with waiving Paul. I’m surprised they couldn’t find a team to just take him or give them anything.

Cap space might be more valuable than we thought.

Was tempted to call Whitmore the Dok of SFs -- great physical tools, if very slightly on the short side, but can't pass to save his life.

Now of course that's very unfair (and I was thinking this more as a troll than anything else), as there's all kinds of good stuff Whitmore can do besides dunk (and I actually think there's more passing ability in there somewhere than he's shown yet), but you all do realize that by his latter years at Kansas, Dok was doling out assists better than Whitmore did this past year, don't you?

I doubt passing will ever be a strength for Whitmore, so he will have to be a very efficient scorer and impactful defender to be an all-star. I think Jaylen Brown is his upside and his downside is probably Miles Bridges?

But even Miles Bridges had a pretty big playmaking boom to his game his 4th year, so it's possible he could do the same, or he doesn't

We are still friends ya dumb bastard. I just like giving you a hard time. Fine with JHS at 16. Not my fav prospect but I’m not a professional evaluator and don’t watch enough to question the real pros.
 
GG at 28 is a fine risk. Likely still gonna be a second draft guy but the opportunity cost is not as significant as if you had drafted him at 9 or 16. Occasionally the disease of dumbass can be cured… it is rare but it happens.

You mention latter years, plural, and Kansas.
Cam only played one year (18 years old) and at Villanova.

It has you just forgot. For a while it was a picture of me and my wife at pf chang's. Then I changed it to the picture of me drinking a 40 underwater. Not sure if it was ever anything besides those two though so ya, it's different.
I'm going all in on Cam.

After checking stats it would seem podz is the answer so I guess if both are available at 28 and GG isn't then I want podz.

So give me Hendricks at 9, Wallace at 16, and podz at 28 if we don't make any moves.
