2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Also watching GG against FL.

My god SC is atrocious and they are getting slaughtered. BUT, honestly pretty impressed by GG in a game like this.

Still really engaged, showing great help defense (they need all the help they can get, huzah!), moving the ball on some assists showing awareness, and athleticism.

Came away more impressed than I have been. A lot of maturity for a young kid on a **** team, in a blow out game.

GG finished with 20/10 on middling efficiency. SC got blown out in the 2nd half. I guess it's better than getting blown out in the first 8 minutes.

Honestly not the type of game you’d come away impressed with a guy but I was. Did a lot more beyond just score in big sections of the game.


Side note: Miller a non-factor right now in this Bama v Miss St game. Miss St playing out of the their minds right now and Bama not moving the ball outside of Miller on the few touches he’s gotten.

I'm hoping GG grows another inch or so. Someone big and bouncy like a Richaun Holmes, but with a handle and shooting touch could have a real impact. I don't think he's quite skilled and refined enough to be the highly skilled scoring wing archetype. He needs to be able to physically dominate.
 
Listed at 6’9” 210 but honestly he looks to have bulked up some in-season to me.

Also looks ALL of that 6’9” though.
Yeah, he looks like more like 6'9" 220-225 to me. I didn't see the game yesterday but it looks like he was every bit as good as Walker yesterday.
 
Based on where we're currently slated to pick I'd want:
13. Jett Howard | GF | Michigan
15. Anthony Black | CG | Arkansas
27. Leonard Miller | F | G-League
I would hope we would bundle a couple of those and try to move up, or get other assets or something. Not exactly world-changing picks coming at that level. Solid guys maybe, unlikely to be the dudes we really need.

He looks like he has a decent wingspan… really good athlete… I like his shot… not perfect form but quick and confident. Word on the street is he’s got a 12 inch and huge set… I legit have him in my top ten. I think he’s be filthy next to Lauri and Walker and would help the Lauri at the 5 lineup’s tremendously.
 
I can see Taylor having a Patrick Williams like rise up draft boards… if we can’t get Wemby or Scoot then I need us to find a way to land Black and Hendricks.
 
We may still lack a super duper star but I think that would be some beautiful game ****. I’m here for it.
Outside of Wemby and Scoot its a total crap shoot who, if any others, will be top 20 in the league type guys anyway.

I watched Brandon Millers entire first half last night and it wasnt great at all. I think he has all the tools but he didnt stick out like certain sure fire superstarts did in college. And if Black and Tay (in this scenario) end up as even high end pieces is all next to Lauri you have something special there.

That is the perfect size i want on the jazz. I want multiple 6'9" 220 pounders tbh.
 
Along with 30 other dudes.
No... that's why its my legit top ten. Let me take a stab at it...

Wemby
Scoot
Miller
Black - Yup I said it.
Whitmore
Hendricks
Wallace
Thompson - You decide which one
Thompson - See above
Jett/Dick/Wallace

I see improvement. Your "legit ten" only has 12 names in it. Are you sure you are not forgetting anyone?
