2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Also, I’d say the chances we even own the pick by 2027 is about 25% or less.

Nice glass half full approach

Thanks, but for real, I think that’s why that pick and ‘29 Timberwolves pick is structured that way.

Well, the Minnesota pick had to be because they couldn’t make the protections roll over to 2030.

Last 10 NBA Championship Teams' Best Player --
2023: Jokic
2022: Steph
2021: Giannis
2020: Davis
2019: Kawhi
2018: Durant
2017: Durant
2016: Lebron
2015: Steph
2014: Steph

Seems like a team has to have a transcendent player.

Uh, pretty sure the Spurs won in 2014? Positive the Warriors didn’t at least.

And that Spurs team was just a great all around team, a perfect example of what you’re trying to disprove with this post. Convenient mistake. But I could be misremembering.

Why are people so high on Whitehead? He played 28 games and his stat line is 8-2-1. That's not good.

Watch his HS games

One of the important parts of the Wolves trade is that it also made the Wolves worse long term. It will be really hard to flip Conley for anything of value and that salary slot, which they can't really replace, will expire.

It certainly gave them less options to get better but they still have a decent amount of flexibility to change their future for the better.

Wasserman has been the highest national guy on Pod by far. Saying he's thinks he is a safe bet to be a first rounder.

Their flexibility pretty much lies in trading KAT at this point. I don't think they are going to get the value for that that many are expecting.

His mock has us hitting all 3 major positions of need: guard/wing/big

He's also probably the last remaining person who has Bufkin this low at 30.

Where can I find the Cliff Notes version of your posts?

TLDR: Don't expect someone to do the hardest thing in the NBA if they sucked badly at that thing in college.
