2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

How many days until the draft?
Only about a month to the lottery (May 12th), when we get confirmation that we've jumped into the top 4, and about 11 weeks to the draft (June 27th), when we get to pick exactly who we want because we jumped into the top 4.
 
If we get the 8th pick, I’m all for trading it for a 2025 1st to someone dumb team like Detroit, Washington or Charlotte. We already have enough young guys to play.

I'd be interested to see how many times in history we've jumped lottery picks (or dropped).
 
Big board as for 4/10/24. Probably the hardest one I've ever done and really hard to get past 20 so I'm not even going to try. Really reminded me just how much I hate this draft - can't remember any draft where it was less obvious anyone was worthy of a top 3 pick.

Given that, I've generally erred towards valuing raw physical gifts - size, length, athleticism, et al by position - while bumping up guys with less favorable measurements but a higher floor and degree of confidence they'll be serviceable pros:

1. Sarr
2. Risacher
3. Williams
4. Buzelis
5. Knecht
6. Castle
7. Topic
8. Clingan
9. Dillingham
10. Holland
11. Filipowski
12. Shannon
13. Furphy
14. Walter
15. Collier
16. Edey
17. da Silva
18. Carrington
19. Klintman
20. George

Would probably slot Dink Pate in the 10-15 range if he's draft eligible.

Guys interesting for late 1st/early 2nd - DaRon Holmes, Cam Spencer ("Jazz DNA"), Trentyn Flowers, Kel'el Ware

Assuming we draft #8, Castle and Topic top the wish list. Hope this is a draft where we trade up to get "our guy." We've got enough young dudes on the roster.
You forgot Sheppard
