2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

This was a hot take of mine earlier in the pre-draft season... not sure if it was you or someone else I was talking with about this exact thing - Taylor Hendricks looked like a better prospect last year than Risacher. Now, maybe Risacher did enough in the playoffs to edge it out at the end... but either way I don't think the difference is huge.

Yeah….they project to have similarish roles. I think their selling point is the ease of fitting into a valuable rotation/role but neither is likely to be a star or higher usage player. Risacher has a much better feel to his game imo, but Hendricks has better physical attributes.

As someone who doesn't watch GLeague - what is the rule and how does it affect the TS?

They shoot 1 FT instead of 2 or 3 (it counts for 2 or 3), except in the last 2 minutes I believe. It throws off the calculation because it's the same amount of points but less attempts.

Yeah...he didn't move much for me but I didn't have him in top 3 range. Bumped him a tier down because knee surgeries are not great for guy whose main skill is getting to the rim/finishing at the rim, but for the most part the concerns always existed. Still think he's not a terrible at 10, I can see how it's anticlimactic to draft someone who won't play his first season though.

I really uninspiring draft IMO. I really like Shep, but even then his most likely scenario is just a good player. There were like 6-8 guys in last year's draft that I think would be in the conversation for #1 this year and several that would be no doubt #1. Heck, I think you could make some kind of argument for Hendricks (as a prospect) over Risacher.

I mean aren't the latest projections that he could be back by December?

This brings up another question... do we know what the difference in % is between 1st and 2nd FT attempt? My guess would be that the second one would have higher %...

But and 1s are still one FT so you can't just do math to have a conversion

KOCs podcast with Tom Haberstroh about sons of NBA players was fascinating. Go listen if you can. Will make you want Carter more.

Literally not possible for me to want him more.
