2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Bawse Dawg]

The prevailing thought is that he is guaranteed top 10

Wolves got some losing to do.

Dick is a dead ringer for a young Danny Ainge. No way DA passes up on him

I just see Mikey Day playing a basketball player in an SNL skit

Excited to watch George and Hawkins today. George is usually not my type of prospect, but I do think he has the best chance of being a great off the dribble shooter which is a super premium skillset. If he can do that in the NBA, he will be a star. Hawkins is probably my pick for the best pure shooter in this draft, however. His jumper looks so versatile and he takes a high degree of difficulty shots. I think he can be Buddy Hield in the NBA.

When does Hawkins play? I might have to watch my first college basketball game of the year lol.

It would be some Star Wars Sith Lord **** for DA to bring him under his wing.

Let’s do it… let’s all become Dick heads.

SOme dude named Chris Youngblood giving Xavier and Colby Jones the business. I just like his name and he's got good stats.

College basketball becoming a 22-24 year old's league.

I wouldn't mind drafting Dick with our first selection. I have him in my 10 or so players that I would be content with so we don't have to trade up. I made a post earlier about how there are a lot of comparable shooters in this draft, and I still believe that based on the production we've seen, but in classic white guy fashion I think the other parts of his game has been underrated because there's a fixation on him being a shooter. The one thing I wish he did was put up more 3's....but that could totally be coaching decision.

I mean, 50% of his shots are threes at >5 a game…

Yeah but I wouldn’t draft myself. But that’s just me.

Your boy Keyonte is snoozing

I would like to see him at the 9+ 3PA per40 range like Hawkins, Jett, and Keyonte. His coach may not allow it, but I'd like to see it.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

Would love to get some Dick with our TWolves pick. That would be a coup.

The wolves would have to take a tumble in the standings. There is little chance hewould be available in the 15 to 20 range. He will go in the 8 to 15 range.

I mean hawkins has the the offense built around him and Keyonte is getting his off the dribble. Dick is assimilating into the offense in a little more reasonable way given his talents and the quality of the team he is on.

UConn is starting now— was a slight delay due to prior game

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Walter Clayton Jr of Iona stands out stats-wise with a 43% 3pt shot and 95% from the FT line.

Hawkins is not impressing anyone so far today

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Clayton definitely a cool customer as a PG

Just based on today, Hawkins looks lazy, scrawny, uninspired, and like he only takes bad shots. I haven’t watched him much prior, but he is not looking like a lottery pick or even a first rounder even. He’s not even been one of the 5 or 6 most impressive players in this game. I know this is harsh, but he has been really bad.
