2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Lively is such a project on offense high bust potential there.

Dont think there is much bust potential. He's going to be a good defensive player. He will be in the NBA for a while. I wouldnt draft him in the lottery, but if you need a defensive big you can take him anywhere after that. Maybe he improves his offense in the NBA, but the natural feel for scoring definitely isnt there.

dominate the NBA? wtf you smoking? I said early 2nd round. meaning he has a shot at making a roster and maybe be a career back up. You dumb as F

You said 2nd round steal as in he is making an impact in the NBA, not just making a roster. Doubt dude can earn a 10-day contract after his 2nd year in the G-League.

I’m super stoked for this Arkansas/Kansas game coming up. Black/Dick both have good chances of going top-10. NSJ has been extremely disappointing let’s see what can do today.

This game definitely didnt boost him for me, but it didnt really dissuade me either. Dude is tough. Duke's spacing was in the gutter today.

He’s going to get cooked in space… guys were completely unbothered by him. If he doesn’t shoot it really well he won’t be an nba player… and he hasn’t shown the ability to shoot it. He’s a late first guy…

Ehh, I thought he had some great closeouts and defense.

Dudes shot over the top of him with ease multiple times. He had a complete muff of a rotation/close out. He’s lucky he has lively. He has good active hands on defense… I’ll give him that. He’s going to be a big negative on defense and the offense without a 40% 3 point shot won’t be good enough.

The guy got lucky mostly. He's a dude you want taking semi-contested 3's.

Looky here smh about half the players taken in the first round of the average draft class are out of the league in 5 years, having never seen a second contract.
This high iq and highly effective on ball defender,and ball handler, being a high 2nd rounder, should be a steal imo- which is the highest he might go with noone wanting to use a first on a back up. I think his odds in 5 years are a better chance of being an NBA back up, than at least a 3rd of the prospect that go sooner of even being on a roster at all.
