2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Funny, I had the same in my 3 guys I don't like. There's a common thread between all 3 guys. I actually think GG has the best chance of these 3 to make it in the NBA as a skill perspective. I don't buy the shot making stuff at all but he was decent enough as a spot up shooter and at the rim. But his mental game is probably the worst.

I'm curious as to who everyone would put as their 3 guys they like, and 3 guys they don't like. For me:

Like:
Coulibaly
Clowney
Bailey (would be Bufkin but the consensus has caught up to him)

Dislike:
JHS
Nick Smith
GG

I think of all the dislike guys I would feel the best if we drafted NSJ. Their is a case that with his knee he never really got going and he was really highly rated in the preseason. He's not the type of player I like but that is the case I think. Don't want any of them with the 9th or 16th pick.

Like:
Tay Henny but most people like him...
Jordan Hawkins... have him right there with Grady at 11/12ish
Kobe Bufkin - I'd take him over JHS/Keyonte/ and a handful of guys that seem to be ahead of him.

Dislike - GG, NSJ, JHS
 
strawther's numbers might look good, he might look good in highlights, but i've just seen that dude too many times over the years - not sure i can even quite explain it - but he's not an nba player. just isn't. i won't begrudge anybody that likes him as a prospect - heaven knows i've had my share of misses. but not on this one. just not a rotation guy in the league.

ftr, if he ends up playing with lebron i reserve the right to go back and edit everything i just said.

You do not know that nor do you have any quantitative data to suggest it. It’s quite the opposite. If you believe that still, I doubt there is anything anyone can say to convince you otherwise. I disagree with the qualitative analysis also (speed doesn't matter if you can't get to the rim, he was a weak team defender, was not really a PG/was a turnover machine).

Neither of us know the counterfactual or will ever find the out, so let’s agree to disagree instead of have one of those insane longform debates that all but ~four posters hate.

Sir Numberica, your voice doth carry the resonance of empiricism! Counterfactuals, “coulda shoulda wouldas” smack of inflationary metaphysics.

Not arguing but for a guy sure he’s not an nba worthy player how can you not know why?

Video has gone live. Think he's a better value pick than Hawkins in the lottery if you can get him in the late first/early 2nd.

He is very streaky but in some of his biggest games when he was counted on to shine…..he stunk. Hawkins theoughout the season was so much more reliable. I still think I like the upside of Strawther though with his height and rebounding. He has a decent floater game as well which Hawkins does not

I really do not like this trend of mock drafts and big boards in a video format

Ehhh… dudes gotta get paid. At least a tiny bit. I’m not a huge fan but most of these guys are doing this for free and I appreciate it.
