2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Just praying for a Hendricks, Brice, Bilal grand slam this draft...

I am dreaming about this 5 out lineup...it has to come true - the most potent offense in the NBA 2023/2024 season...

Bilal or Dunn
Ochai or Dunn
Brice
Hendricks
Markannen

I would use a players ability to finish at the rim to indicate how good they are at finishing at the rim but thats just me.
This is way too logical.

You don’t understand the latest in basketball analytics. You should talk to coach Q or Locke to get educated.

Now we must consider a guy’s ability to finish at the rim while jumping off one foot, the shot clock with < 5 seconds remaining, with his team on the road, if he has a girlfriend, per 32 mins to understand if a player is good at finishing at the rim.
 
Yup. He doesn’t look a legit 6’6” to me, and doesn’t look really long either.

Again, depending on what we get with our first pick, he’d be In play for me at 16 because of a bankable skill.







I also think he’s the type of dude that’s out of a playoff rotation or very limited minutes In those situations. “Empty calories” I think @Handlogten's Heros calls it?
I think I’ve def said that but def didn’t invent it. I like that he’s efficient… he also follows one of my favorite draft rules… fat is potential in disguise.

At 16 I could be on board. If you want a guy that is an upside scorer I think Sensabaugh is a better bet than GG.

Since it’s playoff season I’d favor more guys that project as two way guys but sometimes the one way is fine if it’s really good.
 
I dont think I'm a Sensabaugh guy either, at least not at 9, but I can see him being a top 10 player if a lot of the higher potential guys dont pan out. He's foul drawing and rim finishing away from being a total package offensively, and those should be fairly easy additions for him.
 
I think the Jazz want to draft Cam Whitmore and play him at the 3. If they can't do that, I think they would draft Gradey Dick and play him at the 3. I think they would then draft a lead guard like Bufkin or Hood-Schifino at #16. Or, they would package #16 and #28 to move up 2 or 3 spots for Cason Wallace if he's available and they really believe in him.

Thereafter, they might make a trade to target a high upside guy like GG, Sidy or Bilal if they're blown away in draft workouts. It's possible that the Jazz could even slot Bilal as a playmaking guard, but it's a bit of a stretch.

With the draft being before free agency, and with the possibility that both Clarkson and THT move on, the Jazz are going to be very thin in the backcourt.

Did we trade Kessler in this scenario?
