2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I'd be pretty upset if we took a guy like Hendricks over a Wallace/Bufkin. Need that high value guard prospect on the roster more than we need a 3&D weakside rim protector.

Starting to feel like Hendricks is gonna go 8 :/

If Indiana doesn't land top 4 then I think that is where he ends up. If Walker is available they may go that route instead.

Orlando... maybe... not sure if they are still run by the dude that goes for length on every pick but maybe. I think Hendo is selected 7-11ish.

Sarah Todd said Danny Ainge faked out the Sixers and made it seem like they wanted Thybulle which forced Philly to take him earlier than they wanted. Interesting insight.

Well one of you got the story wrong... Boston selected Thybulle because they knew Philly wanted him... then they made them give up an additional high second round pick.

These are things you could have gotten if you pay attention to my posts more. One thing Ainge is good at is predicting the draft based on intel. This and the Tatum swap are the key pieces of evidence. If we land the 9th and 13th pick he can pull some shenanigans.

If Wallace and Bufkin are there at 9 with Hendo... you take Hendo and hope one of those guys is available (they likely would be) at 13. Hendo would not.

Bufkin will be available with the Wolves pick. And if he isn’t then Wallace, Dick, or Black probably will be.

Even mediocre fantasy football gms know you gotta play the turn and look at the picks together. OKC likely not going pg, Dallas or NY? prolly not, Orlando? they have Fultz Suggs and another high pick... where they may take a pg. Toronto likely strongly considers a pg... so it depends on if we are talking the 13th or the 15th/16th pick.

I think one of Keyonte, Wallace, Bufkin will be there.

We have no idea if that's true. We dont even know what NBA teams are really thinking. Bufkin is going to go to the combine and put up bonkers numbers and be young than a number of the highly ranked Freshman ahead of him. There's still a lot of room for a prospect to really rise past our current perception of their stock.

Kobe Bufkin's rise is eerily similar to Donova Mitchell's. A lot of the stuff I'm seeing in Mitchell I'm seeing in Bufkin.
