2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Bodhi]

Notice only 2 of those you listed as examples, have ever been the main reason their team won a championship.

Well now we are doing some serious moving of goal posts….

I get it, I just don't see it so far, with most of the currently lottery projected options, beyond normal NBA futures. At least that may or may not become worth paying a second contract.
If there are 10 players from this draft that turn into above average starters, that would mean the draft is in fact insane, if that proves true.
Me saying there are maybe 3 that become superstars probably just means my opinion on "what is a superstar" is different from some other peoples. or just that it is rare that 1 emerges from each draft anymore without years of developing.
Notice only 2 of those you listed as examples, have ever been the main reason their team won a championship.

You don't see it so far after 1 or 2 games. You have to be kidding me. At least wait 10 to 15 games before making that kind of statement. I bet you haven't even watched most of these guys play.

I think it's possible to make an initial assessment on players after watching just a few games. You can always change that assessment from there. Guys put Wemby and Scoot at the top of their boards after just a couple exhibition games.

Well of course you can.

But you shouldn’t.

He clearly isn't the generational next KD that he looked like at 15 years old but that doesn't mean he can't be a solid nba player. He is still very skilled offensively with a ton of room for improvement. At the end of the season we will see where he stands but my guess is he is viewed as a mid 1st rd prospect.

,2nd round at besr

wait you thought I never watched any of these jackasses play prior to now? what the hell you smokin g? Nothing any of these college or gleague players do, in those leagues, changes anything for me on how they should be ranked on potential, and if it was not for the hype people like yourself give them, they are just prove it or lose it gamers

fair enough but you have to remember i am talking to people who wanted the Jazz in fact were praying the Jazz would be terrible this season, so they have been reading internet chat rooms about lottery projected players all summer and think they are scouts

Truly confused but I’ll leave it here.

I’m having fun this season and stoked on our draft possibilities so I don’t want to go back and forth on this. *peace sign*
