2023 NBA Draft Megathread

This would be a monumental mistake. As a 49er fan I’m having serious fandom remorse trading all those assets to jump from 12 to 3 to draft Trey Lance. That hasn’t worked well at all. And there’s a good chance we missed out drafting a stud or two because of it. You can’t risk trading that kind of haul for an unproven commodity. If Miller misses or just doesn’t live up to the value you pay to get him that sets the org back big time and could be the difference in making yourself a true contender. The hard truth is this team should’ve tanked proper. I 100% promise all the anti tankers secretly wish we would’ve lost more. Luckily for all of them me and god worked out a deal. He gets us Wemby, and I never bother him again.

I'm relatively certain that if we didn't trade up to get Trey Burke we would have drafted Giannis. On the other hand, the trade up to get Deron was pretty genius. I'm not certain anyone else outside of the top 3 is a Deron Williams. I'm seeing a number of Trey Burkes though.

Actually, I have a feeling the Jazz really wanted to point guard, they probably would’ve taken Dennis Schröder. But I could be wrong

So picks 14 and 21 got us the 9the pick. That’s 5 slots. What could we realistically get for 16 and 28? Or 9 and 16? But I sure as hell ain’t trading 4 or five picks unless it’s for wemby and even then it’s probably too steep a price.
 
Really impressive functional athlete with plus-length, plus-bounce, advanced timing and body control. He was at midcourt when Victor pulled up for that jumper.

Always looks like he's gliding out there, super impressive athlete. His offense is pretty far away but defensively he's one of the best prospects in the draft. Combine his athleticism+length with his mentality and it's almost a can't fail scenario on defense. On the low end I see him like a Derek Jones Jr and on the higher end he could be like Jaylen Brown. Realistically he'll fall in the middle and I think he's more like a McDaniels or Herb Jones.

BTW, should the Jazz make a push for DJJ this summer?
 
Boner, err Boler would have a field day with "The Dickster";

Dick is so good.
I like Dick.

Holly:
Yeah, I like Dick too, Boner, err Boler.
