2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Who would Washington take then? Walker would have been clear BPA. Indy had no intention of trading away a shot at Walker. They just leveraged Washington for some 2ns rounders with the threat
That's my point. Indy had no intention of trading away a shot at Walker, but that's who the Jazz would've been trading up for. I'm less confident as to who Washington would've selected (Whitmore?).
 
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.


FYI, Risacher vs Coulibaly this season (per36):

Youth:
Risacher: 16.5/7.4/5.0/2.2/0.8 - 4.6 TOV - 52.0 TS - 11 games
Coulibaly: 24.6/7.2/2.8/2.9/1.3 - 3.2 TOV - 62.7 TS - 16 games

Senior:
Risacher: 7.3/3.4/2./1.3/0.5 -2.0 TOV - 43.8 TS - 18 games
Coulibaly: 10.9/5.5/1.8/1.6/0.3 - 1.9 TOV - 60.1 TS - 36 games

I think Risacher is super overrated. I am not a Bilal fan but Bilal is a much better prospect than him. Whether that means Bilal is better than we thought or Risacher is a lot worse than projected I’m not sure.
 
Risacher is great prospect. Let's not use head to head numbers of games y'all haven't watched to mean anything. Bilal is also a great prospect.

Head to head games do not matter

Yeah...I included in the intial post that you depending on how you feel about Bilal you could take this as....."man the 2024 draft is indeed ****" or "the Wizards got an amazing steal". It shows the weakness of next draft, or the strength of Bilal as a prospect. Probably a mix of both, but I'll let you decide how you feel about that.

Just throwing it out there that Bilal is wayyyy ahead of the #3 guy next year. It was not close.
