2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I mean, if Danny has a type it's the aggressive scoring combo guard.

Yeah, but normally they play defense and they playmake. Sexton was mostly a sparkplug off the bench last year. Tony Jones is pretty deliberately saying that the Jazz want positional size and length.

Who went 8?

Kris Murray at 16 is yuck.

Been calling Maxwell at 28 for months now.

The top 8 were Wemby, Scoot, Miller, Amen, Whitmore, Hendricks, Walker, Ausar,

I'm sure they want that, doesn't mean it has to come at every single roster spot.

I think the chance that the Jazz draft Gradey Dick at #9 is better than 30%. He's a bankable shooter and ball mover who can play pick and roll with our bigs. He's got great feel and IQ. If the Jazz don't take him at #9, he's going to end up at Orlando (11) or OKC (12). The only question is whether he's going to get roasted on defense.

LOL .. your point being?

The no 9 pick might ending up being a pile of poo.

Yes but who was the 8th pick?

Sam Vacenie just posted a mock draft in The Athletic, has us taking Black at 9, Kris Murray at 16 and Maxwell Lewis at 28.

After looking at it… honestly if the board fell that way I’m cool with those picks. Likely prefer Hawkins over Murray and Bilal or a couple other dudes over Lewis but that’s the right type of gamble. If we go pg at 9 I’m hoping that Miller is still there at 16.

Yeah but why don't you go back and look at a history of the 9th picks of say the past 10 years? Why focus on just the 1 year?

Ausar...I listed them in order.

I don't remember Ainge ever picking a 1 dimensional player though?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I'll scream if we draft Kris Murray

Then I love the pick.

Oh that's strange for the Wizards to pick another SG next to Beal..
