2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

I think the guys I'm most intrigued by are Topic, Shep, Williams, Buzelis, Dunn. Not that those are the top guys in the draft just the ones I'm most interested in now.

Its like all things that are underrated when it comes to winning. May not end up being a "star" star but a role player "star" that just helps win.

I will probably have him like 5/6 on my board... bet he goes 8-12 ish in the draft. Would rather go for a Wemby or Brandon Miller or Cooper Flagg but if you can't get the star I definitely have a thing for guys that can be the 3rd or 4th most important guy on a title team.

Right....and to be clear, I'd bet against him being an all star, but I'm betting against all NCAA prospects to be stars this cycle. There's a chance everything comes together....and I think that chance is more likely than Justin Edwards, for example, who is a guy who only looks the part.

He also has all the statistical indicators I look for that reflect high level talent. Extremely good percentage at the rim + low amount of those assisted. Decent mid range percentage reflects good touch. Godly 3FG% with a decent amount unassisted. High rebounds for a guard. Godly stocks.

Buzelis has been assssssssss lately.

Him and Holland are both shooting 22% from 3 on a little over 3 attempts per game.

Season isnt over yet, but if they continue shooting that poorly, they will be some of the worst shooting prospects of recent memory for guys who actually attempted a decent volume of 3's (probably next to the twins last year).

It's going to be wild to me if they get drafted high after we watched Leonard Miller play super well in the G to go in the 2nd round, and he's clearly, IMO, a far superior prospect than Holland or Buzelis.

I'm intrigued still, but yeah 22% is not great obvi. I loved Leonard Miller and would have him top 10 in this draft I think. It was so dumb he fell last year.
 
So maybe the Jazz can pick up a FRP in this draft with a trade while also conveying the pick they owe to OKC. I'm wondering what the Jazz are thinking, being just a game and a half out of the 8-seed. This road trip was supposed to show that the Jazz don't belong, and it's kind of done the opposite. Write off the Sixers game because they didn't have Embiid, but that Bucks game was solid.

The way guys like Sexton, Olynyk, Dunn and Kessler have been playing as of late, the Jazz might be a .500 team or slightly above. They're just 1 game off where they were last year at this point.

Obviously you'd rather have one than not, but if there is a year not to have one, it's this year, especially coming off a year where you drafted 3 rookies.

if the Jazz end up with no pick this year is the year not to have a pick. Also, it could mean that the Jazz are competitive and we might get to see some playoff games.
