2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Elizah Huge]

Good showing by Key here. I'm a little concerned that neither Tay Henny nor Brice garnered a vote despite their expanded auditions. Could it be the rest of the league views them as no talent stiffs?

Neither one played enough games or minutes to even be considered.

I'm still upset we didn't get to see Hendrix earlier in the year way more often

We are just lucky Danny had the balls to make the midseason moves or we wouldn't have hardly seen him and Brice at all.

What do the experts think of that huge center for purdue? Does he get drafted? Is he a lottery guy? Second rounder? I havent heard anything about him

I read the dude is only 6 foot 1 and 150 lbs and his team isn't very good at all so its probably just empty stats on a bad team I guess.

BTW I asked a general question a while back about the giant that plays for purdue and only one person gave me an answer (HH) and it wasn't much of one (he is boban).
What do you think? Does he get drafted in the first round? Is he a lottery guy? A second rounder? Undrafted? Not even an nba player?

End of second round or undrafted…he’s Boban basically… may play a bit here and there.

May have been me Fish. This is the exchange I remember…

Kyle Filipowski is not an NBA player.

The college game sucks monkey balls.

That is all.

It's crazy how this dude is consistently wrong

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Lets draft Zach Edey then.

Could hvae had both

Ya I mean his takes are always that every player sucks so he will be wrong alot since many players dont suck.

Was reading a ton of the past posts in this thread. So much Filipowski hate it’s hilarious. It was basically @Saint Cy of JFC and I defending him against the majority of people who posted in here.

I'd argue the most Danny Ainge player in this draft is Jalen Hood Schifino

Danny never gives up

This post hasn't aged well now that Flip is looking like an actual 2nd round pick.

Que?

 

[Elizah Huge]

Wow… Filipowski is hella underrated on here.

Bump

Dude you’re so bad at this lol

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I'd tell ya to look up the numbers but ya already did that. Tay gets more blocks, steals, assists and less turnovers and fouls... so any projection on their defense is purely eye test because the numbers say otherwise. Maybe you could argue those things are even but arguing that Clowney is better in those areas is a little tough.

I would say the only thing Hendricks has is shooting. Clowney has better handle upside, better finishing, better defense, better foul drawing.

But yeah the shooting difference is potentially very large if Hendricks becomes a guy who can shoot 5+ per game where Clowney is more like a 2 per game type player.

Yup, clearly showed Clowney was the guy with the better baseline of skills.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

A lot of guys are starting to develop now so it's interesting going back through the thread.

I swear to never over-rank a player with mediocre athletic tools who also had very bad advanced stats ever again.

Now do JHS.

I really liked Keyonte and thought there was no way he'd last to #16. Jazz got lucky that teams took Gradey Dick and Jett Howard.

That said, I also liked Kobe Bufkin, whose career never really got off the ground. At first, I thought it was because he was behind Trae Young and (at the time) Dejounte Murray in the Hawks' rotation, but he just hasn't gotten traction in the NBA.

GG Jackson had a good rookie season and part of a good sophomore season, then everything seems to have stopped. Memphis won't play him now.

I remember when it looked like we were ending up 7-9 I had a few conversations with you about guys in that range and we always had Keyonte in those discussions.
