2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I think his defense, passing and scoring will translate. The question for me is whether he's impactful enough to be a lead guard. Then what does he look like if the ball isn't in his hands? Can he mature and be a high-impact starter? I could easily see him be a 6th man like a Jordan Clarkson or Jet Terry. He should have a very high floor at least.

I think there's going to be a vigorous debate about NSJ v. Keyonte. Those guys may be close, even though NSJ was originally thought to be the higher level prospect coming into the season.
There is no debate for me. Give me Nick Smith all day over Keyonte and I expect the gap to become far more evident as the season goes on. I'm actually not a fan of Keyonte until outside the lottery.
 
It sucks that they chose to play in that league rather than going to college. Seems like a stupid decision. The same goes for Jaden Hardy last year. If he plays college ball I'm confident he goes lottery.

Ausar will be fine. Watch him go top 8.

It probably won't effect either Amen or Ausars draft stock that much but I just hate the fact that we don't get to see them play college ball. The same goes for me with Scoot but since he chose to dropout of highschool rather than reclassify and graduate early It was pretty much his only option to play ball last year without going overseas.
