2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I don't know...I think it might be Hendricks that would drop to 9.

Conservative, yet solid choice. Checks boxes but not the sexiest.

Black > Hendricks

Nope

Lonzo / Simmons not great, jury still out on Scottie

Rupert has grown on me a lot. I am ok taking either of sidy, Rupert or coulibaly. I like all 3 a lot.

Pretty good assessment of Gradey. Swing skill is playmaking. He shows some good BBIQ on both ends.

Hoop Intellect has by far the best videos IMO.

Sticking by this take: surefire top-10 prospect but in a redraft he goes top-5. Dude just balls.

That being said, I’m not crazy about the fit here since I think we need more on-ball juice and high-level defenders. I think he might actually have some potential as a secondary creator and will be decent defensively. Would not be bummed to get him at 9 but have Hendricks and Wallace above him.

Impressive how many of those shots were well contested. He was getting a ton of defensive attention and still put up great numbers.

Quick question to Gradey Dick’s fan… who’s his ceiling comparable?

I never really saw a benefit to the FO making available info and opinions about prospects in the past apart from keeping the fans entertained and/or engaged..

Ainge playing chess.

I'm just gonna say it: Reggie Miller.

I'm just gonna say it: Reggie Miller.

but more likely ends up Rodney Hood

I left out the word ‘realistic’ in my question…

If Dick really has a 7 wingspan he's easily a top 10 pick. I just doubt that number. Looks more like 6'9, maybe 6'10, to me
