2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Castle would have been shooting from college. I know I don't shoot 80% from nba three in part (except for the corners maybe) because I tracked it years ago when I was playing in a league that used an nba three point line. Most courts I play are lined for HS... I'd be comfortable shooting deep HS threes at close to 80% in open gym. I'll shoot a video for you someday maybe... thats a lot of work.

It's not a lot of work. You just put your phone somewhere and hit the record button....

I think I heard once that Steph Curry can often shoot around 70-80% from 3 in practice.

In other words, there is no way in hell you're shooting 80% from three.

Depends on what kind of practice he is running... if he is doing like a hard star drill then maybe he is 70-80%. Just casually shooting with a rebounder or in the gym... I can promise he's higher than that.

Its really just to show how good they really are. I watched Robert Swift bomb threes in a league. Most of these guys should be draining threes open gym even if they aren't shooters.

Yeah, sorry, if you can’t hit shots in an open gym being setup you can’t shoot. Gobert cans threes in practice like it’s nothing.

Maybe Castle got a lot better but Jesus that intel is borderline alarming (especially for a player already known as a poor shooter).

The key thing that lets you know he is full of **** is the without a rebounder part.

I mean I literally count the shots. Usually shoot 50 shots counting after I get warmed up. Won't leave until I get 9/10 in one of the 10 shot sets.
 
I will go ahead and record it one of these Saturdays when I go in.

Sam Vecenie said Devin Carter is killing every workout. Last year he said it was Jacquez but Carter is like "times two that". Said he has been told by a few people it's the best workout they have ever seen since working their jobs.

Any time anywhere any place. I love dudes like that. I would be extremely happy if he’s the pick at 10. The problem is he might go higher than 10 now.
 
Chicago was offered 13 from Sacramento in exchange for Caruso. They went with Giddey instead.

@Handlogten's Heros there is a pickup session with Tony on Saturday during Summer League. Let’s show up half an hour early and I’ll record you. I’ll even rebound.

Done. Problem is getting a side to yourself... at the clubhouse gym I think I can set my phone up fairly easily.
 
i have to wonder if Antonio Reeves is being a tad overlooked in this draft. he doesn't have great size for a guard, but he does have decent size and he might be the best pure shooter who can score, in the draft. 20 ppg on 45% FGs. that is rarified air.

sometimes the draft is about finding that guy who is elite at one important aspect, as long as he holds his own in other areas - adequate size and athleticism at 6'6 and 36" vertical.

Truly awful on defense is the issue.
 
It seems like we're trying to trade 29/32 (my guess is that it will be for future picks)....but I like some guys that could be there. Schiermann, Shannon, Larson, Bridges. Not all of them will be there, but I think there is some quality guys later in the draft.
