2023 NBA Draft Megathread

What ended up being the final straw for me as far as being all in on him... he is a ****ing hooper who works. There was someone telling a story of him finishing like USA basketball and being right back at some camp a couple days later... something he apparently pressured NSJ into.

I just see like a strong *** Lonzo type player if he can figure out the shooting. Just has so much stuff we need.
100% see Lonzo vibezz

That was what I was thinking too, so for now he’s my guy. Haven’t seen enough to properly judge his shooting, but his shot looks pretty fluent. Low release, but otherwise looked good in the footage I saw. Besides, Lonzo learned to shoot pretty well too a year or two into his NBA career.
 
Looks more athletic though. But maybe I forgot what Lonzo is like, since he’s been out so long.
I'd say a better athlete for sure... likely not as good of a passer though.
 
Black is one of the top players in the jazz range.

I like reece beekman too, from virginia. Solid defender at 6'3". Decent shooter 47% from 3. Good passer. Runs the team well. Been sharing pg duties with a senior.

lonzo was a great shooter coming out of UCLA. one of my concerns with black is not only his ability to shoot, but his ability to get his shot off. he has sort of a low release set shot. i like black a lot as a prospect, but i question his ability to both hit consistently and get his shot consistently unassisted.

Lonzo had to rework his jumper though to make it work in the NBA... it was really wonky. I think Black will work on it and be a good catch and shoot guy at least.
 
How’s this for an unrealistic, could MAYBE happen, probably zero chance to happen, but like maybe (?) draft for us?

-Black
