2023 NBA Draft Megathread

How do we know this is correct? It is certainly not corroborated by any actual evidence. The top 8 teams all picked in the top 8, no one wanted to move. If any team had wanted him at 5 or 6 then the Jazz should have been just fine saying they were one of those teams after the fact, but they did the exact opposite.

I'm not saying I'm right or you're wrong, but I do think my position is a bit stronger than then one without a single whiff of evidence.
We had Bilal in our top-8 but that wasn’t the consensus around the league.
 
Cy turning into "bad stats but he looked good" guy is hilarious. On par for him though with his THT love.
 
But Hendricks in the top 8 was?

Yes, as far as the media and public goes. Obviously we don’t know exactly what everyone’s boards were but Hendricks was getting serious looks at 5-7. A few days before the draft it sounded like Hendricks might go at 5. We were talking about maybe Ausar dropping.

But did he get drafted in the top 5? The only thing we know is what happened and Bilal was in the top 8 and Hendricks wasnt and there was an actual team who drafted at 9 who strongly implied "Yeah we wanted Bilal over the dude we got"

Yeah, I don’t know what that has to do with anything… nobody was talking about Bilal being a a part of the 8 or 9 man draft prior to that happening.
