2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Speaking of Leonard Miller, Tony Jones said the Jazz are really interested in him on ESPN700 this morning. He also mentioned JHS, Bufkin, Keyonte, Smith Jr., Clowny, Murray, Hawkins and Rupert as guys the Jazz would be interested in at 16. Jaquez Jr., Podziemski, GG and Colby Jones as guys they would be interested in at 28. He mentioned again that he personally really likes JHS. He didn't seem to think they would take GG at 16 but may at 28 if he happens to still be there. I was surprised that he didn't mention Bilal.

He also said that the Jazz really like this draft...they think they can get a really good player at 9 that they can potentially build around, they also think they can get a good player at 16 and even think there will be good talent available at 28. They will be involved in conversations about possibly moving up...if they don't move up they will keep 9 and 16, sounds like 28 could go either way, they may keep it or they may trade it.

this is what i love about Tony Jones, his amazing insight into what the jazz are thinking. they will either trade up or they won't. i mean, without jones, we wouldn't know that. also, who are they interested in at 16? basically every prospect who might be available at 16. thank heavens for his connections in the organization.

I think he is probably better than Thor, but same type of prospect

he is definitely better than thor. it's an easy comparison to make because they both played in the g league. miller was a lot better in the g league than thor and thor is more than a year older. it's not even a question. so yeah, are they the same type of player? sure, in the same way david roddy and charles barkley are the same type of player. but it's clear miller is a lot better at basketball than jt thor.

uh I was referencing Klintman being sim to Thor as far as ceiling and probably Klintman is considered by most to be the better overall prospect. Leonard Miller is a lot higher ranked prospect than both. So from what I am hearing about his understanding of the game, that is largely being coveted but everyone is trying to keep it hidden so he falls to them smh.
Miller will be at minimum a 20/10 guy for the next decade and I would not be surprised if he is largely considered the steal of the draft if he goes post lottery. Well him and probably Hawkins if he goes anywhere outside the top 14.

I don’t think this is an amazing draft, but it’s good for the Jazz first two picks.

This looks like a very very good draft so I'm not sure who you are getting that from. Hands down the deepest draft I have ever seen by a mile.

This is 100% an amazing draft when it comes to depth. It is unreal to see the quality of talent being projected in the 30-40 range in mock drafts.

I have not been as plugged into the draft this year as other years, but around the lottery I heard such sentiments in some podcasts. I think Locke had an episode questioning the strength of the draft.

I guess I'm wrong on this one then. Apologies. So just how strong would you say this draft is? Is it merely above average or is it one of the best in recent years?
