2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Yeah, this is a trash take. Trying to **** on me but then you throw some bs out there that we need to make a decision on Kessler. If Jarace can’t play with Lauri and Kessler I wouldn’t draft him. Period. Especially at 9.

You lectured to me death saying this **** doesn’t matter when it was it Flip lmao. Now you’re the guy who has a measured understanding approach with numbers. Get out of here lmao. You are the guy that gets upset when numbers are used against your favorite prospects.

And you’re calling it “BS” to say we need to make a decision on Kessler than immediately make a decision on Kessler lmao. If you believe Kessler is that dude where you can’t consider players that don’t fit with him you are doing exactly what I said. Literally In back to back sentences you said it was BS then validated it haha.
 
I wonder if Locke reads Jazzfans in his spare time…
I don’t know why he wouldn’t sometimes. This is an active, great message board. I have never once gone on intelligence missions to other forums and thought any other board was even close to the quality here. Boards are useful for taking a pulse on the electorate, so to speak. As a member of the media and head of a huge podcast network it makes sense that he would want to get a sense of what prospective listeners are thinking. It’s also grist for the mill.

Went on a tangent. Just saying that this is the spot. Also, Tony Jones and Andy Larsen stop by which reinforces that.

I continue to ask... how should we feel about all those perimeter players with very VERY questionable 3p shot? The twins, Walker, Black, etc?

There aren't any/many guard/wing players playing deep in the playoffs that don't shoot or have poor 3p shooting ...

Twins…no idea they play in a glorified AAU league and it’s all hype. Doesn’t mean it’s unjustified but it’s impossible to tell one way or the other. Ausar definitely more of a promising shooter though.

Black….He has pretty poor indicators all around, it is a legit concern. I think he will good enough with the ball in his hands to justify it all, however. He’s great at getting to the basket.

Jarace….I would say he’s not really a perimeter player. He’s a big. If you envision him more as a perimeter player I can see where the concern becomes a bigger one.

Yeah but Locke has his Twitter and Locke on NETWORK which is very active and his mail bag gets lots of attention too.

I think he would be too proud of what he has to visit our forum tbh.

I continue to hear pundits say that shooting is the easiest skill to learn in the NBA,..

Anyone know how true that is?

Think about it like this... is Black SO GOOD on ball as a self-creator and as creator for others that you can see him starting for you in the Western conference finals? And you need to give HIM the ball, rather than someone else? I kind of can imagine the twins getting there... I am not so sure with Black.
Jarace….I would say he’s not really a perimeter player. He’s a big. If you envision him more as a perimeter player I can see where the concern becomes a bigger one.
I think his appeal is that he's a big/long wing. I think I love him even less if he's a big... especially when we already have Kessler and Lauri.
