2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Looks fine to me. If the Jazz were to draft Hendricks, they'd then have Ochai, Hendricks, Lauri and Kessler all of whom have limited self creation. They'd be relying entirely on their PG to set everyone up.

In what universe does having GG almost 10 spots higher than Hendricks make any sense?

I feel like you’re trying to zag too hard. Remember when you had Keegan at like 14 on your big board last year and I repeatedly told you it was terrible.

I'd still have Keegan around the range probably if I did a re-draft so I think I did a great job on that one.

In the same universe where one has individual shot creation upside and age (13 months) and the other doesnt.

The one where GG has All Star potential and Hendricks doesn't. But you'd need to be a team who cares about that stuff.

This is absolutely terrible man. I understand it’s your own personal big board but damn this is bad.

GG at 7
Black at 13
Hendricks at 16

Just a couple that are laughable.

I like seeing a different kind of board. Especially when it’s someone who I know is putting in the work scouting wise and has shown to be pretty savvy at this stuff in the past.

Obviously he’ll be wrong about some. But so will the consensus board. Being different from consensus doesn’t inherently make it bad.

Lol... now do the things that Hendricks has that GG doesn't.

You do you.

Its kind of hilarious to me that some of the dudes on here that are all hyped about GG's individual creation are the same dudes that complain about JC and Sexton. The points are the same whether you are 6-9 or 6-4.

You do you.

Hendricks is a versatile and committed defender, while GG isn't (yet).
Hendricks projects to be a willing spot-up shooter who doesn't need the ball, while GG is someone you'd draft because he wants the ball.

No one is complaining about Clarkson or Sexton getting buckets, especially on a team that has few bucket-getters.

There is a long line of dudes that want the ball... there is a longer line of dudes that people think would be good defenders if they only cared a bit more.

You're making that up. No one is complaining about Clarkson or Sexton getting buckets, especially on a team that has few bucket-getters.

You are apparently new around here. Those guys get constant frustrated posts because of their over dribbling and playing with blinders.

If Clarkson or Sexton were 6’ 10” and the youngest player in the NBA then I would feel quite differently about them.

I also like (but don’t love) both/either of them (they are really good but the overall fit isn’t great here).
