2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Bilal had more fouls than shots made last game. There was no balling happening. Just a lot of dumb fouling.

I’m ****ing dead. I was thinking the other day that I was surprised I wasn’t accused of not liking French players because they’re French and voila here we are. Lmao typical Cy.

Its not a draft thread unless Cy throws something like that out.
 
IF the Jazz do go Bilal I am confident they have seen stuff behind the scenes and done so much homework that I will be fine with it. I'm not going to root against a kid on our team. I will look around longingly at the other guys we could have had if he struggles.

Listen to this...if it is between Ausur and Bilal, you take Bilal. Then Dallas takes Lively. The Magic then take Ausur at 11. And then the Jazz trade from 16 to 12 and get another quality player.

Take Fino at 12. Sign Kuzma

JHS - Sexton - Dunn
Ochai - THT
Kuzma - Coulibaly
Lauri - Simone - Gay
Kessler - Jones - Carey Jr

They said they want to maximize 2 to 3 years from now. That's projects galore this draft.

How can you say 100% when you have loudly been stating it's impossible Utah likes him at 9?

Look, I dislike Hendricks as much as anyone at 9, but I fully realize Utah may not be in alignment with me and there's a high chance he's the pick at 9.

I will take my lumps if I am wrong about us drafting him. Just because I don’t think we will nor would I want us to at 9 doesn’t mean I won’t become his biggest supporter if he is the pick.

that is true. i'm not trying to downplay bilal by pointing that out. bilal for me is like a thompson twin. i just have no clue what to think - i know they have great size, length and athleticism, but have no clue if they are legit nba players in terms of skill level.

We just saw Bilal play a strong supporting role against a top tier Euroleauge team... It's not some hocus pocus thing. He wasnt great or anything, but he was out there holding his own.

I just dont get how he's a mystery when I think he is a pretty easy evaluation. Not that there isnt a wide range of possible outcomes for him, but I dont think the floor is all that low.

Milwaukee Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo is the perfect face of the league

After winning his first NBA title with the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo will likely gain traction as the face of the league moving forward.

I was curious to remember how much Giannis weighed when he got drafted. Crazy to think he actually was lighter than Bilal when he got drafted. Bilal is about 5 months older.

So much of the messaging around the Jazz has been they arent looking to maximize this year, but 2-3 years down the road.

That would point towards Bilal as a draft pick.

Tbh - that would pretty much account for any of the top 10 players outside of probably Wemby and maybe Scoot. Everybody else is young and has huge upside. . . but it’s all about development.
