2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Super dumb thing I have noticed on two straight wemby videos/games. He starts the game with no tape around his knee... it might be a small support brace but looks like tape... then in game he gets it taped. Its just like the little support band under the knee cap for tendinitis or jumper's knee.

He's amazing... you have to take him #1... but I'd hire all the smartest medical people I could to understand the stress that he puts his body through and at very least to start having an idea of what a maintenance schedule would be like for him. He could end up totally fine... but I'd take his first couple years and be overly conservative as you help him build out his body in the best way possible.

Scoot is exciting as hell. Shades of stronger John Wall (who if he didn't have the nonsense or catastrophic injuries would have been great), now some are throwing some CP type stuff as well... Give me either dude and I'm over the moon.

If we can't get those guys... I'm still happy getting whatever guy rises to the top in college this year... based on the prospects hanging around it will be a wing player (Amen is a pg but he's also got great size for a wing so still a wing to me).

I will not rest easy... we must tank the eff outta this B.

My wet dream would be to draft Victor then once Rudy's contract is done w/ the Wolves we sign him. Rudy/Victor front-court would be glorious.

I miss Rudy... I hope Minny fans appreciate him like we did. A final tour of duty here would be wonderful with or without Wemby.

It will be interesting watching Minny and Cleveland this year.

You forget there was a portion of the fanbase who thought Gobert was overrated, people like Elizah Huge exist.

Also when I went to Spurs/Jazz games, every Utah fan was wearing a Mitchell jersey, like at best there would be 1 Gobert for every 9 Mitchell jerseys.

Well... my love for him will never die.
 
Locke had some interesting comments on his pod. Said the Victor/Scoot game is going to go down as one of the most important games in basketball history. Two of the best prospects getting huge ratings and neither are in college. This could be the start of the "Death" of college basketball.

How about drafting Wemby and then using the draft capital to acquire Nickeil's cousin? Maybe Boston does Danny a favor and sends Jaylen Brown this way for a haul of players/picks? Could Phoenix decide to blow it up down the road?

Lots of potential tasty options but the Jazz need to land "the franchise" guy first.
 
Kinda crazy but WV was born on 1/4/2004. If he were born 4 days earlier he would've been eligible for the '22 draft and likely playing for the Orlando Magic right now.
 
It’d be very exciting to have either one. But looking way ahead, Wemby definitely seems way more likely to enjoy Utah and stick around. Scoot has a vibe that he’d be trying to leave from day one, he wants the biggest spotlight possible.

Doesn’t matter right now though. Lottery draw night is going to be huge. If we haven’t done everything we can to be in the best position that night then the team can go to hell.

We got guys listening to Wolves pods and are Wolves fans now that’s how much people are obsessed with him. Literally guys buying league pass to watch the Wolves. No other fan base is doing that.
