2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Luckily the Jazz have so many assets and opportunities, if they make a catastrophic mistake, like drafting Hendricks over JHS, they can still recover.

**** ton of assets a side I would rather they not make the Hendricks mistake.

Oh but Cy was probably asking for someone with access to post that full mock? I would also like to see it.

Anyone?

Scoot is great, but I doubt they are interested in what we have. Our picks this year are much later and they might not want to wait several years on future picks.

About as bad as it gets with the first two picks

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Which six players in your consensus top 10 will be below league average, as is what happens every draft?

i don't think you understand the meaning of "ceiling" in this sense.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Best thing about all these mocks mocking us Hendricks is that it means it's probably smokescreen. Genius level stuff from Danny. Disguise the JHS pick.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

If you want to go w/ a big forward, I would take Leonard Miller 10/10 times over Hendricks as well. Toughness, rebounding, interior scoring, and some weirdo upside to go along w/ high level pro production.

i'm a hendricks fan and i agree. but honestly, i take leonard miller over everybody but scoot, b miller and wemby. i have him #4 on my board at this point. having said that i still probably don't take him until 16 if i'm ainge and my intel tells me he'll be there.

 

[RandyForRubio]

Bilal at 9 is a good pick. All the high upside guys will be gone. You might have your choice of Black/Hendricks, but they aren't all-star level prospects. Bilal probably not an all star either, but he plays a more valuable role than Black or Hendricks. He also has youth on his side

Can you explain the Bilal hype to me? I just don’t get it.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

If he's free, I don't hate it.



I have no idea, I don't think I've ever even seen the dude on a basketball court, my opinions are always just second hand after reading other peoples thoughts and analysis. Which is why I'll talk myself into anyone pretty much no matter what. I don't follow the Cy thing. Is there a long track record of him not liking dudes and then they turn out amazing? All I know is that he has a pretty good track record advocating for some lower end prospects who end up pretty good.

Cy doesn’t even believe his own BS half the time. Most recently he told us the Jazz would be awful… they start out 10-3… he told us Walker Kessler should go to the G League… he ends up 2nd in ROY voting… he jumps on the GG bandwagon… and the wheels come off… he pumps Klintman… then his feedback is so bad he moves to Australia… lord help JHS.

 

[stitches]

Heard some pretty bad stat for Ausar that I'm having hard time believing. He shot 36% on half-court possessions last year. Eek...
