2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Bibby got sauced up once he retired

I think I like around 11/12 players in the draft (or at least the idea of them). Haven't looked at a few that I will need to. I get why there is a lack of excitement at the top but there are decent prospects available where we'd be picking.

Rob Dillingham is really intriguing.

in a stronger draft, he's well outside the top 10 imo, simply due to his lack of size and he hasn't shown a lot of playmaking chops (though, i like his playmaking and how it will project at the next level) like say trae young who would be a nice comp in terms of a small scoring guard. in this draft though, i think he has a shot at top 5. probably goes before Sheppard. dillingham would immediately be one of the top 5 quickest/fastest guys in the league.

He's shown a ton of playmaking. 29% assist rate on a low turnover rate.
 
I mean, I think Dillingham is a top 10 prospect in basically every draft, it just falls on the individual teams appetite for an undersized guard who is a bad defender.

Yeah I bet he slips a bit further than he maybe should. He’d certainly be a tough fit for us.

tough fit for most teams which is why he's not a top 10 guy in 80% of drafts. even as good as trae young is, which is about dillingham's ceiling, it's just really hard to win in today's league with a diminutive guard playing big minutes.

But teams are doing it.....

It's hard to be good as a diminutive guard, but if youre good youre good.
 
Hopefully Key has a good close to the season. Worried we pass on some guys because of his presence and end up regretting it. I like Key but want him to leave no doubt these last 20 games.
 
Knecht is averaging 25-6-2 in SEC play on 54/44 splits.

His season stats would be much higher, but at one point sprained his ankle during non-conference play and had 4 single digit scoring games in blowout wins.

He will be the first rookie that is also the oldest player on his team.
























JK... I actually really like him.
 
Drafting upperclassmen or older players has had a pretty strong run last several years.
 
Old guys...

Jaquez
TJD
Nembhard
Keegan Murray
Desmond Bane
Brandon Clarke
Cam Johnson

Chris Duarte - cant all be hits.

I'm in for Knecht.
 
The improvement from last year to this year for Ware is pretty impressive. He is still only 19 and can be a little gangly with his movements but I think that can be easily refined. They have him listed at 242 pounds but I'm having a hard time buying that. He looks closer to 230 pounds to me but that is an improvement over last year when he looked super skinny.

 
It has been a little while since we have talked about Isaiah Collier but since coming back from injury he has looked great and cut back on his turnovers.

This draft has a few older guys that I think could carve out nice roles. Knecht is the obvious and we have talked a little about Kolek but Terrance Shannon and Kevin McCullar both look like players that can provide quality minutes.
