2023 NBA Draft Megathread

This great thread is becoming the pet peeve thread for me today. One of my great pet peeves is when people try to incorporate race or religion into everything. It is why I rarely ever go into the general discussion threads anymore. Sorry to inform, but they do not have to be a factor in every aspect of life despite what TV or social media might tell the world. And since I will probably be told "That is because you are *fill in the blank", no I do not fit most stereotypes of people living in Utah or of Utah Jazz fans either.

Now, back to the Jazz and the draft please.
God told me you crazy
 

For anyone interested here is Game 2 of the OTE Finals which features 4 draft prospects (the twins, Gort, and Martin). The OTE Finals games where stylistically much better basketball vs regular season OTE. Much less of the transition stuff due to the unique rules.
Also, for people who really like to dump on OTE and call it garbage competition.

The starting lineups for City Reaperz and YNG Dreamerz have a pretty insane level of talent and size. How many college games did yall watch this year where both teams had a 7' center with a 7'5+ wingspan?

Yeah, some of these dudes are pretty young, but the talent is real and they construct their teams in a way that mimics NBA size in a way college teams dont.

Sidy is still "my guy". When we do the draft homers list, I'm going to be on Sidy.

Mine too. Fun fact. . .

We’ve done three different forum mock drafts.

In every single one, Sidy Cissoko was drafted at #16 - for three different teams by three different GMs.

First, @ONE LOVE picked him for the OKC Thunder.
Then, @Saint Cy of JFC picked him for the Atlanta Hawks.
Finally, in the most recent mock draft, I picked him for the Jazz.

It’s meant to be.

I haven't quite formed an opinion yet. His passing from the wing and defense would be great for the Jazz, but I don't believe in his shooting and although he can handle the ball for his size, it looks a little clunky to me.

I don't watch any G-League games, so I really rely on the experts here. Basically I'm waiting for the Hoop Intellect draft profile on him.
 
The problem with that is Hendricks is unlikely to be there at 9 and Wallace is all but certain to not be there at 16.

I mean, we don't know that yet. Maybe it will, or it will not. Players rise and fall in the draft all the time. I don't mind Wallace at 16 but I sure as hell ain't picking him at 9. I'd rather pick someone with a lot more potential with the 9th pick. Someone great will fall to us, I'm sure. That is, if the Fraudzz don't screw it up.
