2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I still think the GG conspiracy about his pro day was my favorite flame war of this predraft process lol. But having a meltdown over being caught making up box scores is also very funny.
 
Archie "Michael Jordan" Goodwin says hello again. You might also want to look up what obtuse means because you seem to like it more than you know what it means.

The GOAT

I don’t get the hate on him. Can shoot and plays pretty good defense.
If he is really good at the things he projects to be really good at... he's an amazing player that every contender is thirsty for. He's also an A+ kid based on everything I have seen about him.

People confuse ball in hand with upside I think... and if a guy isn't ball in hand they limit the ceiling on a guy. IDK its weird.

Giannis happening has really skewed a lot of people’s thoughts. Every young kid who is super long and raw has huge so called potential now because of it.
 
Everyone probably should.
meh, everybody contributes to the site in one way or another. you, for example are annoying af at times, but you're entertaining. you definitely give this site life. elizah huge has strong opinions and argues them to the death. that's fun. some people choose to ignore guys - bunch of nancies who do that, but whatevs. guys do what they need to do.

I dont value or respect anyone who says things like "x poster likes player Y, so I dont like player Y"

If that's the basis of your draft analysis I'd rather read nbadraft.net scouting reports than anything you have to say.
 
This is where I have settled on him. I'm not sky-high on him, but what he allows you to do is a lot more exciting than what he himself necessarily does. I think there is a universe where he can switch across all positions, hits 40% from 3, and his defense/rebounding allows the Jazz to unleash Lauri at the 5 and legitimate (not gimmick) switch-everything scheme.
He was like a college version of Lauri with some of the rim protection, shooting, and dunking he offered. He has several skills/ability that will get him opportunity. If he gets elite at a couple of them he is a home run... if he is good and builds out other parts of his game he's a home run... It isn't just the skills its the value placed on those particular skills. His haters look at handle, creation, and passing... he's a combo forward/big.... those things are cute to have but not necessary... like I ain't worried about Scoot's ability to protect the rim ya know.
 
I'm watching this NBA.com interview series and Keyonte George is the cockiest ************ there is.
The Athletic had an article where they interviewed execs and college coaches who played against the prospects. They mentioned that about George. General confidence and cockiness that could help or hurt him. Like if you doubled him or talked **** to him, he would take it personally and take horrible shots to prove himself.
