2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[Handlogten's Heros]

Holland has been turning it around. He looks like a plus-athlete with a solid motor and a real talent for getting out and finishing in transition. His shot has started falling too. Holland is still probably considered a better overall prospect than Buzelis. However, it's hard to deny that Buzelis is 6'9", has ball skills and looks comfortable shooting off the dribble. What Buzelis offers is really valuable. The handle and self-creation are what the Jazz are missing. I just wonder about Buzelis' ability to really compete physically at the NBA level.

I think I might be sleeping on him a bit. In the highlights there are some really skilled moves. He is skinny and still effective. His frame looks like he will fill out. He's not fast but seems fluid. I hate white guy to white guy comps but is he kinda like Gallo?

Damn, he looks good

He looks the most like a #1 pick is supposed to look imo. The 3 pointer starts falling more and he gets stronger.

His white guy comp is still probably Franz Wagner, but he's not as tough on defense at this stage. Franz came out after his soph year at Michigan, though he and Matas will be similar in age at the time of the draft.

MGbako having a good game. He's definitely one of the "year away" guys for me.

I've been seen a ton of Gallo this year (oddly enough) and Matas does remind me of a younger Gallo.

No one should use a 1st rounder on Kelel Ware.

The battles between Hunter Dickinson and Luka Garza in the G-League next year will be epic

Coen Carr is a fun name to watch. Not really a good basketball player yet, but he has the most insane vertical and dunking ability. He has a two hander from teh FT line.

Yes they should.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yes they should.

I wouldnt even use a top 40 on him. He's a 3rd string center without much potential. That's two games where he got absolutely punked by a NBA caliber center.

Are there any Weber State fans on here? Anybody have thoughts on Dillon Jones as a prospect? What's his defense like?

I thought this clip was impressive:

Love Jones. I thought he was a first rounder last year. I'd take him in the 1st again. He just has no vertical athleticism. He has like 5 blocks for his entire college career (not fact checked)

The thing that stuck out to me is that he averages almost 11rpg.

He's good at everything, so I could see that.
