2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Bawse Dawg]

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.

Sounds like a pretty typical draft smokescreen. We can use the actual results of what happened now as evidence.

We'll never know the full truth, but Occam's Razor is at play now.

You are aware what we hear isnt the gospel of what is true?

Yes, if you scroll up and read you will see I said we obviously don’t know exactly what happens behind closed doors.

We had Bilal in our top-8 but that wasn’t the consensus around the league.

Crazy you post that when a few post earlier you said this with your chest.

You’re so weird. Nobody was talking about Bilal being in the top-8. A lot of the other pre-draft intel we got ended up being correct.

Not really…

This whole conversation is about things that were wrong. Ausar didn’t drop, Hendricks didn’t go top 8, Cam fell like a stone. Bilal did go top 8.

What were they right about? Wemby going #1? Most of the consensus best prospects going high in the draft?

Keyonte was linked to us pre-draft by multiple places.

Bruh they are rookies.

Nothing about my distaste for Hendricks has to do with the stats he is or isnt getting.

Hate how you want... its just funny to justify their performance with "they look the part" and "they are rookies" while simultaneously writing the guy we picked off. There are times Hendricks "looks the part" and he is also a rookie I believe.

Plus it was all hypothetical depending on who Detroit took at 5 and Orlando at 6.

By this logic, every prospect linked to us that we didn't take means that nobody knew ****. Every team that Keyonte was linked to besides us is evidence of the media not knowing anything.

Yeah, I'm well aware of your schtick.

Well of course. I never try to hide my homerism and have brought it up and admitted to it many times. Im what you might call a jazz fan(antic)

yeah a rookie I had ranked 20th...

I'm not writing him off. He is where I thought he was.

I do remember this being discussed a lot
