2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

He's only 18. He's working pretty hard and showing improvement over 6 months ago. I wouldn't overly define him just yet. He needs strength, a tighter handle, and more ways to score off the dribble. The passing and spot-up shooting are there. Defense looks projectable.

Ehhhh, I feel pretty comfortable defining him as being a low ceiling player. Best case he's a really solid wing defender (I havent seen anything that says standout defender) who can be a connector and really shoot it. Guys his size have a tough time developing their handle. And again, the level of passiveness he displayed when playing against people in his class was insane. He's so far away from being able to score off the dribble at the NBA level.

Honestly, if I'm being bold, I think I would straight up take Dalton Knecht over Risacher at any point in the draft.
 
Also, I think Risacher is more of a 4 than a 3 in the modern game.

Like if you put a passive mindset into MPJ, he would be Risacher.

I think Topic is the number one guy for me right now. Sarr/Holland are somewhat intriguing, but I haven't seen enough yet. Collier.....nah.

Yeah, that's exactly how I'm leaning. Was out on Holland, but he's just not in a great context but at least he's aggressive and a + athlete.
 
When I watch Salaun I get the sense of untapped potential vs when I watch Risacher I just think this guy's really solid at being really solid.
 
I think if Ron Holland were playing in the NCAA, he'd be compared somewhat to a player like Jaylen Brown at Cal. The physical tools and athleticism are there. They at least give him a platform to build upon. His handle and ability to drive and finish at the rim are encouraging. The shooting, however, is a bit worrisome.
 
I was also going to mention Jaylen Brown for Ron Holland. Jaylen Brown turning into Jaylen Brown was a very high end outcome for him, but that kind of reward is why these guys keep going at the top of the draft.

I might call him the Baron Davis of this draft. His physicality is a big advantage at the college level. However, it won't be as big an advantage in the NBA.

Baron Davis was a streetball player at heart. A ton of creativity in his game. I dont see him as comparable to Collier.
