2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

It sounds as though the Jazz are looking at everybody and considering every possibility. I could believe the Jazz are trying to trade up, but I think their target would be Sheppard or one of their favorite wings, rather than Clingan. Just my opinion, but I think Clingan is, for all intents and purposes, the Jakob Poeltl of this draft. Maybe he's better in some respects, but he's basically a starting-caliber two-way big and not a whole lot more.

The FO must be hyper frustrated with Kessler's work ethic/mental mindset.
 
Clingan is 100% a higher IQ/feel player on both ends than Kessler, but I do worry about his complete lack of vertical pop.

He probably needs to drop another 20 lbs. Not sure he's a guy who really needs to be 280.
 
Edeys floor seems to be Toronto at 19

Also interesting that Givony said every team 9-20 is interested in Missi.

Now, that range could just be convenient to say Memphis, but he did say every team.

I’d rather have Holmes than Missi.
 
I am still on the Devin Carter bandwagon. 6'3-6'4" plus athletes who can really defend and rebound can play playoff style basketball. Yes he doesn't have the ball creation skills to be primary option but I would rather hit a nice double instead of busting.

Wonder if there is any Mitchell type unrealized upside there where you think you're drafting a defender and he turns into a 20 ppg kind of guars.

Holland must be terrible in workouts and Matas a workout god.

Saw a lot of experts on twitter losing their mind at the possibility he slips out the lotto. It is kinda wild. The shot must be bad in open gym or he must suck in interviews or something. A pro day shouldn't hurt your stock.

His shot is bad though mechanics wise.

It’s weird because his mentality/character are often cited as his saving grace. Whatever is making him fall, there’s got to be some legitimacy to it but I still think drafting a guy with those physical tools + intangibles is not a bad bet.

Yeah... I'm not sure what is worse a guy with bad mechanics or a guy with solid mechanics but the ball doesn't go in. He has some stuff to fix and I think in his interview with KOC he kinda downplayed it and I wonder if it is that type of thing that turns some teams off. Like he has 2-3 things to fix but thinks its pretty close... he needs to go to work like Lonzo did and rehab a few things on the shot.

One thing I've never seen anyone actually look into is "his form looks fine though". I'm not saying that kind of statement doesn't have merit, but I'm actually not sure if that's just something people say or an actual trend. In theory, if technique is bad you can fix it. If it's not a technique thing then....could that be a bad thing?

Yeah IDK. I think there are guys that shoot below their form... if that's something. Like the shot looks pretty but the results aren't quite up to snuff. His offhand is way too involved. Seems like something that should be able to correct pretty easily.

Like I think Flip is an example of this. His shot form seems like it would shoot a higher percentage than it actually does.
