2023 NBA Draft Megathread

No they woudlnt. They loved Bilal in the draft and he is succeeding early expectations.

I wonder what the front office is thinking with guys like Ausar, Black and Bilal all playing well while they stood pat and took Hendricks who’s in the G-League.

They did absolute crush the George pick. Like I said I think he ends up a top-3 player from this class. Just imagine if we crushed both picks though.

I mean, likely we werent able to move up for any normal price. If these teams really liked the guys they took, the price is always going to be pretty large and probably too much of a risk.

Maybe but I always say go get your guy. I think unfortunately we were just too low and a couple teams thought there was a cutoff at 8. Indiana doesn’t deal with us because Washington likely takes Jarace if they do. They didn’t think the difference between Jarace and Hendricks was worth a first apparently.

So then maybe we shouldn’t bitch about it every time one of them does something???
 
I don’t know what the price to trade up was, but man it sucks to be so close to getting Bilal. Went from “this guy is a lotto pick promise him 28 now” to “Bilal Coulibaly is the 7th pick of the NBA draft”.
