2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Also kind of interesting all 3 Jazz draftees are connected to Florida.

Brice and Taylor are from Florida. Taylor played at UCF as well. Keyonte is from Texas and played at Baylor, but he went to IMG Academy in Florida for a year or two.
 
ESPN updated their 2024 mock draft, interestingly enough they have the Jazz projected to keep their pick landing in the 6th spot. Does that align with everyone's expectation?

2024 is seen as a weak draft by most and the current top 3 prospects will not be playing in college. Want to point out Zaccharie Risacher at #3. He's about 0.7 years younger than Bilal, and while that age matters, Bilal was significantly better him in the same competitions this year. It's not remotely close between the two. You could take that as evidence of how weak the 2024 draft is or you could take that as a sign that WAS got a steal.

If the 2024 draft is so weak, should we be concerned with losing our pick?
 
I don't think next year's class is that weak. There are some good wings. I'm excited to see what Cody Williams can do
 
Finally got around to measuring my wing span.
I'm 6'3" and my wingspan is 6'7"

I guess it depends on how the rest of the off-season goes. It's possible we lose Clarkson, THT... then we are unable/unwilling to replace them and we might suffer from lack of experienced ballhandlers which is one way to lose a lot of games. Even if Keyonte and Brice might profile as good NBA guards in the long-term, usually rookies are not great for winning right away...

I think I heard in one of the podcasts I listen to that Bilal won their matchup handily in their youth competition. Maybe this guy takes another step this year and is worthy of a top pick by the time the draft comes.
