2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Ausar is better on defense especially helping off the weak side to get blocks and steals and has a more consistent shot. Amen is slightly more athletic (both amazing) but tends to force it which can cause more turnovers per assist. Amen prefers to attack the rim and dunk, but while Ausar does some of that, he likes to contort his body to split defenders and scoop it in. This reviewer gives a slight edge to Ausar. I've read that for most of their lives Ausar was considered the better player and would win most one on one. In the last year there has been a bit of a shift in perception from scouts favoring Amen.

I would love to get Ausar. I think he is going to be really good. Plus, he looks like a team player, works hard and I think he will improve his shooting.
 
Lowe said on his pod today that #3 couldn't get Bridges or OG he didn't think. Bridges I get... locked into a great deal... has shown he can be great on ball more. OG though? Essentially one year deal and a guy who has missed 15-20 games most years... Boy if the Raps can get 3 for OG they better do it now.

OG is really good... but holy cow is he overrated if this is true.

Honestly, I can’t see Portland getting enough for #3 to make them a contender. They should trade Dame for draft picks spread over the next few years. That might delay their timeline enough that they should liquidate #3 as well. We could give them #9 and the Lakers top 4 protected pick for #3. They could probably get a Donovan type trade package for Dame too. Together that sets their timeline and gives them lots of assets for the future.

Nah if you trade Dame you take Scoot. The have Sharpe Scoot and Simmons... enough of a base with picks to get started for sure.
 
Here's the strategy for taking Grady: just outshoot every team you play. Go ahead and grab Hawkins if he's at 16, too. **** it.

I'm hoping Dick's poor testing at the combine will cause him to fall. I'm not crazy about taking him at 9, but I would love to get him at 16.

The concern with him appears to be his footspeed and his ability to keep up defensively. The measurements and athletic testing were neutral at best for him.
