2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Sheps size isn’t ideal but i doubt he gets picked on. I think hes a plus defender and maybe great on that end as a point of attack disruptor. I doubt we are considering him seriously but I hope we do. Not ideal with Sexton and Key but not sure if Collin is viewed as a long term keeper and shep can still get on the court even if we do have those guys.

IMO, he's going to have to add a lot of weight in the NBA. I wouldn't say he's frail, but he doesn't have that grown man strength that you see from guards who are both small+effective on defense. I still really like Shep though, which cannot be said for many prospects in this draft.

Also, I don't think Sexton or Keyonte are good enough to alter our draft decision.

That’s tough. I think I wouldn’t draft a PG in the top-10 unless it was Topic because of Keyonte. Even then they both could play together.
 
If Keyonte and the draft pick are so good that they cause actual collision, that will be long down the road and an extremely good scenario for us. The chances of both Keyonte and the draft pick being starter caliber players is low to begin with, but again it's a good scenario and not one to be afraid of. Keyonte and Sexton on their own do not fit. I don't see it as a necessity to get rid of one right now. Get the best talent.

Sounds like you aren’t very high on Keyonte. That is not a good side to be on. I would have him 3rd on a re-draft.

The odds of the 10th pick becoming a starter level player is much lower than people believe to begin with. It's not about being low on Keyonte, just realistic about draft prospects + having no concern if there does prove to be a problem down the line. If we have two players good enough where we actually have to be concerned about it, that's a very good scenario.

If you believe that we cannot draft a player because of Keyonte, it would also be logical that we cannot have Sexton because of Keyonte or vice versa. Those two are not a long term fit. I think we are getting way ahead of ourselves.
 
Working on a consensus mock and i am 6 mocks in and there is a clear top 3 maybe top 4 or 5.

It is either Sarr or Risacher first and topic 3. Williams is solidly in 4th. Starts to get crazy after that.

Nbadraftnet.com has the craziest picks. They are all over the board. They even have Jaxon Robinson in the first round
 
Also, don't be surprised if Kyshawn George rises into the lottery range by the night of the draft. He's the type of player who can rise 10 spots when teams work with him in person. They'll see he's 6'7"+ and he can do everything.
 
OK, here are the results of my Consensus Draft I could look for some YouTube mocks but stayed primarily with online I used The Athletic, The Bleacher Report, draft room, yahoo, CBS, draft.net, ESPN, and Tahnkathon first column is their average selection.

I need to do some research and find out why some are not listed on other boards for instance Carlton Carrington is only listed on 3 and Kanaan Carlyle is only on 2

There's a big guard in Miami Kyshawn George who looks interesting. He *might* make it to the early 2nd round. That would give us the double-George backcourt.

I'm intrigued by Kyshawn George. He's got a good handle and good shooting touch for a long guard/wing. He also has a nice defensive presence that should make him solid enough positionally. He's not an explosive athlete, but he's pretty fluid, has decent IQ and moves efficiently having years of experience playing in Europe. I'm not sure he'll make it to our later picks though.

No, I just watched him more. That reference to the "double-George" backcourt should be older than a week though. I've just started paying more attention to the draft after the trade deadline. Looks like the Jazz are likely to pick at #9 or #10.

A couple years ago, Dyson Daniels vaulted into the top 10. Last year, it was Bilal. This year, I'm thinking George will be a big riser.

No, the post I quoted were on the 7th, 14th, and 21st. All a week apart.

Thanks for putting this together. There will obviously be a lot of changes between now and the draft, but this is helpful to get an idea of what guys could be in our range.

Assuming we get a pick in the 8-10 range right now I like: Castle, Salaun, and Knecht.

In the 25-35 range I like Dillon Jones, but hoping maybe Mcullar or Dunn could drop too that range.
