Official 2023 draft night thread!

So then.. number 18… cuz that’s weirdly specific

Tony said he was 18th lol. I don’t know why he didn’t just say that.

Hendricks only being #9 on our board is actually a bit of a bummer, you can usually hope to get somebody a bit higher on your board than your actual pick #.

I don't know that Keyonte is a PG. More of a scoring combo guard at this point.

Ofc Ainge had Marcus Smart running the team in Boston for years. Smart is obviously the much better defender while George is the better shooter when healthy.

I'll admit to being a little disappointed in the draft but in hindsight it was predictable. Some of us basically picked these guys in draft guess threads the past few days. I don't think any of these guys will necessarily bust so that's always a good thing.

It's an odd way of putting it for sure. Why not just say number 18 on our board?

Yeah Jazz basically admitting we got no star so they reached on offensive talent that can outperform expectations of it all hits

Ainge stuck true to his type. Highly HS ranked college scoring guard who is assertive

Can someone explain to me why the 7/8 trade happened and why Utah couldn't have beat that?

Wish I could have been a fly on the wall for the Whitmore jazz workout. Just how bad was it.

Cuz we had the guys in a similar tier and they wanted walker not Hendricks

But 7/8 traded with each other, they didn't have it make any trades to get their guy respectively

Washington wanted to make sure we didn’t trade up for Bilal.

Indiana knew wash wanted Bilal so they hoodwinked them.
