2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

I like Bub, but he's not a lottery prospect in anyway. Mediocre athlete who can't get downhill and can't finish well.

With a late pick Id consider him

I don't think Kessler and #9 would get #1, no. That package might get #7 or maybe #6 if someone is excited about Kessler.

Last year it definitely wouldn't, but this year it certainly would. Like how it's halfway through March and we still don't have a clear No 1 or even top 3 in this draft.

This is one of these years where anyone can go anywhere. Don't be surprised if we end up with a situation similar to 2013 where a player drafted near the bottom of the lottery/first round end up having a much better career than the guy taken No 1 overall. Teams will look to trade out of the no 1 spot if they feel the guy they want will still be available at no 9.

Cavs wanted to trade out of no 1 in 2013 because they wanted Bennett and felt he would still be there at 8 or 9. But no team wanted to trade up which forced them to take Bennett at 1. We are giving them an easy way out if we offer 9 and Kessler for no 1 this year.

No. 9 is too far to drop from #1, and Kessler doesn't make up that difference. Other teams will offer something better.
 
I decided I’d watch some college basketball and turned on Marquette and UConn… first team to 40 wins
 
I am really liking what I am seeing from Terrance Shannon Jr. I wouldn't mind trading up to get him. Solid defender and decent shooter. If he bought in to the 3 and D mold he could be a steal later in the 1st.

I wonder if it is his rape charges that is hurting his stock the most?
 
It sounds like the Hand's kid has a broken leg. He is 7'1"235 lbs and his best game was vs Georgia over 20 points and 17 boards. More importantly he and Taevion Kinsey were college teammates last year.

You wonder if a pending rape case is hurting his stock?

I didn't look closely qt the rape. All I saw was a judge ruled his rights were violated and was allowed to go back to his team. I didn't look at whether the case was resolved or what is happening with it. That was the reason for the question. I didn't know it was still pending.

Yeah, it's pending. I'm sure Illinois is comfortable playing him because his case won't be resolved until after he graduates.
