2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Guys improve with better shot selection, picking their spots and getting reps. His 81% FT% shows he has touch and consistency. The fact that he's taking almost 9 3s per game is also affecting his numbers. His TS% isn't great, but isn't terrible.

Then there’s Markelle Fultz… he got worse in the nba and I don’t think it was a shot selection thing.

Kawhi Leonard was a career 25% shooter from three in college. In his rookie season in the nba he shot almost 38% from three

From 3 and overall efficiency are different though.

Yeah, but somehow he injured his shoulder and could no longer use a normal shooting motion. I think he had some kind of biking accident and may have torn his rotator cuff.

I think George is a bit more of a threat to drive than Simons is, just because George is more solidly built. Simons also didn't turn out to be particularly quick off the dribble. Again, I think there's some similarity between George and Markelle Fultz at Washington.

No just no… George isn’t this kind of athlete at all. They are not similar.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I’ll be honest… Simons is a generous comp for George… I think Ant is a better vertical athlete than George ever will be. Keyonte could be more and maybe he’s a better defender… I just don’t see Bradley Beal or Eric Gordon at all. Im fine with him around 12-16.

Oof. Think he goes top 7.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Oof. Think he goes top 7.

That’d be fine by me… I’d rather go a different direction. Would likely push a player I like more down to our draft slot.

 

[RandyForRubio]

Can I be honest with y’all? I’d take Grady Dick top 10. He’s gonna be a good player for 10+ years.

 

[Jingled]

I love Dick...always rises to the occasion and doesn't shrink in the big moments.

Philly's shooting coaches should be banished after what they did to Fultz and Simmons, lol.

I think the Pacers and Magic are basically out of reach...

Magic are something like 19-15 after their 5-20-ish start, though. They actually look fairly decent (mind you, so do we most of the time).

Dick can really fill up a box..... score
