2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Wow. Even after he did so well at the combine, this is still a little surprising.

I think teams are going to go after shooters after seeing how well teams in the playoffs have done with multiple shooters.

I know nothing about Ben Sheppard. I guess it’s time to learn?

GG was a target at #16 for me (or even better if later), but have had my eyes open about the whole thing.

Quitting a workout to smoke weed in the locker room is a clear sign he needs to take some serious lumps before he’s ready.

If I interviewed him and felt okay I’d take him at 28. I’d be clear he was going to the G league. The other thing that would sway my thinking is if he and his family hired a big agency to come in and advise them. He’s not professional enough and needs someone with clout to come in and drop the hammer a bit.

But it’s more likely he needs to see the opportunity disappearing before he wises up. I think MP Jr had some troubling immaturity that would give me pause… it’s great when these kids don’t need the pain of rock bottom to help them learn… I truly hope GG figures it out before then… but it’s rare.

Makes sense. It's hard to stay on the floor in the playoffs if you can't shoot.

I’ve decided I would like to take a swing on Podz. I guess that’s who I would target in moving up from 28 cuz I just don’t think he lasts that long.

KO and 28 for JC and 15 is something I could really see happening.

It makes too much sense imo. We laid a ton of groundwork on JC last year too.

Scoot is like a young Westbrook without the baggage.

Blazers should have guys working out in jerseys that say “For Sale” when they leak these tapes out.

I think he’s like Westbrook with cerebral brain of CP3. Not quite that cerebral but that was the thing that stood out to me when I watched him… other than his amazing athleticism.

Westbrook didn’t have baggage when he was picked either. Also, Russ is bigger than Scoot.

Notice you got a thumbs up from the assclown that lives on Black Island for that one smh

I like him the same now as I did before and for the same reasons and opinions I have always had. I haven’t changed my stance on him.

It’s just that deeply unserious people like yourself will say anything and anything to defend a prospect you “like” and I don’t want to be associated with that **** lmao.

If Bilal plays bad I’m not going to say we shouldn’t count it because it was too hard for him lmao.

Good lord
