2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I think most would like Black if they watched him. He's a good pick at 9. I think if we like Cam we need to get above Indiana (assuming they don't move into top 4). Right now I'm fairly convinced Cam goes 5 or 6.
I like him and think he’ll be a good player. I’d enjoy having him on the team. But as our single premium pick/asset in the draft it’s just kind of underwhelming. I don’t see star potential, I see a nice piece who can contribute on a good team. And I just have higher hopes for our top pick.

If we got him with the Wolves pick, even if we gave up a little something extra to move up for him, I’d be thrilled.
 
Also, another LOL at Locke... the Jazz aren't tanking but also lets talk draft with 15 games left and his statement today "we could easily slide to #5". Bruh if we aren't actively tanking the hardest anyone has every tanked... then there is no way in hell we get anywhere near 5th.
His exact words were “They are currently at 8 with a real chance to get as low as 5 the way things are trending. A really realistic chance if they manage this correctly”.

So what does “manage this correctly” mean, Locke?

LOL

He’s basically implying we’re tanking now,
 
I don’t think so but that’s what makes this fun. Everyone has their own preferences. There is a clear top-9 to me at the current moment and I think I might like Wallace and NSJ better than him as well.
The thing with Taylor is his rise is completely based on results and production. He wasn't considered a first round guy pre-season. He isn't getting up this high on name value like some others are... so I think he's just got a great case.

I tend to give opinion guys some leeway.
 
Robert Williams III earned that nickname after first oversleeping and missing his introductory press conference altogether and then he missed a flight and was way late on his first practice day as a Celtic.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. That is hilarious and epically awesome
 
Players i really really want
If we win lotery and move to top 4 brandon miller
With minnesota's pick taylor hendricks but he is likely gone so maybe jordon hawkins
With phili's pick give me sidy. Hope he does not continue to rise in mock drafts.
Miller
Hendricks
Sidy
Would be my dream draft and we would become true championship contenders in a couple years. But would need a ton of luck.
That would be an amazing haul.
 

Anyone got insider for the mock draft?
