2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I’ve been super uninterested in second round guys this year. I don’t think we pick up a second rounder with a potential roster crunch between adding three firsts, the guys we have returning, and potentially adding a couple other vets.

Amari Bailey is the only deep sleeper pick I like right now. Super athlete, good defender, not totally devoid of skill. I don't know why he's 30 spots lower than JHS.

I still have a bad taste in my mouth for how awful Leonard Miller was in the two Wenby games, but his numbers areimpressive. I haven't kept up with him this year, is his shot still fugly? He's good from the line at least.

completely different player than he was in those games. he had just turned 19 when the season started - guys improve so much over the course of a season at that age.

I wrote him off when Elizah Huge started bringing him up, but when I have watched he has been very good. He's probably just at 6'3 in shoes with a 6'6ish wingspan and he's quicker than you'd think.

Just hard for me to buy it when the dude was super *** last season and pretty mediocre at a mid major his Freshman year. He's had a huge glow up this year. If he can have a nice tourney I could see him declaring if he wants to get drafted in the 2nd round. Or he could just return to school, continue to boost his stock/become NBA ready and enter the NBA more mature. I can definitely see him as a decent backup PG tho, but I wouldn't take him ahead of a Marcus Sasser.

I'm sure everyone's like "when is Bodhi going to update his big board?!?!"

I'm personally holding out really making calls on anything from now until a week or so before draft night. To me its like 2 seasons to this: In regular season and then tourney-workouts. SO much will change between now and June.

I know that's what I've been waiting on. Based on how many guys you think are under-rated you may end up having 25 guys in you top 15 like me.

There will be some movement based on tournament performance, combine, and workouts. Will be interesting to see which players in the 5 - 25 range separate themselves.

If he wasn’t ranked 30 spots lower I’m sure he would. A player’s decision depends on his draft stock, not the other way around.

Players decisions don't fall on the rankings of bloggers and hobbyist. I'm sure he will get some predraft work with NBA teams and they will let him know how they view him. Makes no sense IMO for him to come out when he's set to inherit the UCLA team. If he's as good as you are saying, he will be in line to be a first rounder next season.

That's Toby's kid right? He's probably not strapped for cash and can wait. I'd be cool with waiting if I was him. Next year's draft seems fairly weak based on what people are saying... UCLA probably not a bad place to be.

lol. dropped 23 on 20 shots (not great, but not bad efficiency) and had 12 rebs and 4 assists and played very good defense. great players even when the shot isn't falling, they get to the line (and make their FTs), they rebound, defend and they make plays.

lol he was a chucker clown yesterday and any lesser player would have been benched before they had that usage again. He is a top 5 prospect in the draft, but lets not pretend he did anything well enough yesterday in his conference championship game, to say he made a statement that he was a better prospect than Amen or Jarace or Whitmore. Definitely going 3 or 4 to most teams, but these types of innefficient shooting games kill his odds of going #2 overall imo. That is the reason he is ranked that high btw- the shooting- not all his other traits.
You can spin it up if you want to your own narrative, but the way you describe his stat line is not how it went. he choked and his team especially Quinerly carried them -not him.
