2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to trade down for Hendricks though. Black might be gone at 6 so it would likely be for Jarace.

Indiana definitely seems to be targeting Hendricks or Walker. I think they prefer Walker, but would love Hendricks as well. At least this is what I am hearing from the local guys. I don't think we are great trade partners because we would likely be offering pick 16 or 28 for them to move down. They want less picks, not more.

wait, how does that make sense? why would he fall on draft boards as a result of the nets wanting him at 10? do NBA gms have extra compassion for the nets? like, hey i want to take him at 6, but if the nets want him, we'll pass on him.

either that or if the nets like him, he must really suck, hence he's falling.

The dude leads his profile off with "NBA scout wannabe" so that should tell you all you need to know.

Hate only being able to check my phone for 1-2 minutes every few hours all day today.

I have suggested 9/16 for 7/26.

Is it due to your job?

With the 9th pick in the NBA Draft, The Utah Jazz select...Nick Smith Jr.

this is hilarious to me... reminds me of buying a snickers and soda at a gas station as a kid and doing so with like 120 pennies. At some point the gas station attendant tells you to just take it and go.

LOL. I super appreciate your analogies. Highly underrated content.

I think they might consider that if Walker is off the board and they think they can get Hendricks at 9.

Drafts change the future of franchises every year. They change the trajectory of league history every year. Super important night.

Is this the most posts in a single thread in JazzFanz history? It’s been an absolute pleasure to be a part of. We haven’t been this deep in draft talk since 2013 or 2014.

I'm beginning to think Bilal really might be the pick at 9 if we're not able to move up.

What's so different about hteir games? Both were mediocre rebounders w/ mediocre inbetween game and were known as being soft around the rim. I know they arent 1:1 comps, but they are closer than people are willing to admit (but like I said, the athleticism gap is real and is what will allow Hendricks to have a solid career)

Like... defense... athleticism both offensive and defensively?

Family trip the wife planned. I would not have picked today.

Dude… you let her plan one during draft week?

Do you expect a trade for the #3 tonight? Yes, I do!

sure, but regardless of how much we care, how much research we put into it or how excited we get, none of that changes the trajectory one iota of any nba team, let alone our own team.

Every hour I get a new piece of info that makes me think something different than I previously thought was going to happen.

I'm telling yall be prepared for Utah to trade up to 5th.... to take Bilal.

So a true repeat of the Dante Exum experiment?
