2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Saying the guard who averaged more turnovers than assist is comparable to Bufkin/JHS/Wallace is just a lulz factory (double the turnovers to assist in conference play).

i could see that happen. i'd probably rather no do it, but that's a trade that makes a lot of sense if you think a much better player will be there at 13 than 16. the exception for my wanting it would be if Ainge's intel makes him confident Miller (he would be that much better player) would be there at 13, but not 16

I think the Jazz are hunting one or two specific guards -- Bufkin, Hood-Schifino, maybe George -- and they feel they need to move up ahead of Atlanta and New Orleans to get someone they want.

Bilal could be a possibility at #13 as well. I don't think Dallas or Orlando will take Bilal. OKC could take either Bilal or Bufkin, leaving one of them to Utah at 13.

saying the guard whose TS% was 49% is comparable to the guard whose TS% was 55% is hysterical. maybe i was being too kind by including JHS in this.

cherry picking stats us a fun exercise.

Fine, then feel free to make a big board and rank Bailey ahead of JHS and be insanely wrong.

i made a big board and ranked JHS higher. iow, i like jhs more, but it's close. they are comparable.

Amen is the player that gives me the most queasiness to pick/pass on. He's probably going number 4....I just have no idea what kind of player HOU is getting and I don't love the development program they've got there. I don't even know who they should take instead though. Don't like Cam in HOU either. There would be no passing ever. I would try to trade out of that pick if I were them.

They should want Walker or Hendricks there. I honestly agree they should trade back to grab one of those guys and get whatever they can get in the process.

The "we" in this tweet is Toronto Raptors. Jazz would be flipping 16 + 28 for 13 from Toronto. I'd be thrilled if we could do that. George, Wallace, Hood-Schfinio all in play. Maybe Bufkin or Bilal as well.

This would make a lot of sense. Take a wing at 9 and then get a point guard at 13.

I would hate this draft so bad.

I kinda like it. We need defense and a real lead guard, though.

I wonder if the cost would be sufficiently low to move up that it is like 9 and a future first?

If Gradey Dick is our pick at 9, this board will melt down and there could be a riot at the Delta Center.

Jazz are looking at 6 guards right now: Black, Bufkin, Wallace, George, Hood-Schifino and probably one of the Thompsons. That's just a ton of guards in the 7 - 16 range.

And three or 4 will be there at 16. That is why the jazz should go big at 9.
