2023 NBA Draft Megathread

We are at 15,300 posts on this thread right now. Over or under another 2,000 posts before the draft in two days?
 
God I hope all this trading up talk is ********. It is just not worth it with a draft this deep.

One thing I guarantee will happen. After the draft, no matter who we pick, Tony and others will report that we got the guy we were targeting all along.

And I don't mean to single out Tony... others will say it too... but I could see him being more aggressive about it... Maybe Locke will be the most aggressive with that message.
 
Bilal is Exum-ish for both good and bad reasons as a prospect and on the court.....but for me personally I also have a bias towards these guys because I've seen their crazy trajectory. I remember talking to Aussie's when Exum was 16 and reading them debate on whether or not Exum was even good enough to play at an American college, then he turned into a top 5 pick. Bilal's rise isn't quite the same, but it's cool to discover someone when they were a nobody and see them rise up to be a lotto pick. Whatever ends up happening, I really do enjoy the storylines and journeys of each prospect. I'll be rooting for Bilal. If it's not with the Jazz, I hope he goes somewhere that will be good for his development.

Did you see Exum's highlights from Partizan this year? What the hell has happened with Dante? He's been unleashed... this is why I loved him... his speed is really showing up ... true against Euro competition but still.... and he seems more explosive than ever. And his shooting stats are eyebrow raising... (>50% FG%, >40% 3pFG, 85% FT%).... It's making me want to give him another shot...

BTW I get why you love Bilal... because I was one of Dante's biggest fans... and I can see some of the same attributes in Bilal too...
