2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Looking at the remaining schedule, I could see the Jazz finishing the season with 33 or 34 wins. I think we should be able to keep our pick. That would mean going 7-17 from here on out. Orlando finished with 34 wins last year, while Indiana and Washington finished with 35 wins. Jazz should be able to tank their way past Atlanta, Houston and possibly Toronto to grab the 8th draft spot, imo.

Assuming that's the case, and barring the Jazz moving up into the top 4 of the draft order, we should expect that Topic, Sarr, Risacher, Williams and probably Holland will all be gone. Jazz would likely be looking at Buzelis, Knecht, Dillingham, Filipowski, and maybe Furphy.

Trae Young out for 4 weeks (at least).

Does Atlanta rally without him or completely collapse?

So far, rally.

ATL's won their last two, their defense is probably better and their ball movement might be better as well.

So far, rally.

Ewing theory!

This next game against the Hawks would be a great one to lose from a draft-positioning standpoint.

So far, rally.

Its a critical stretch for them to see what they look like without Trae. I'm sure they weren't crying too hard. I also think they play it completely straight as there is not really a huge benefit to trying to sink from 11/12 down. Big game on Tuesday.

5 games against Houston and Atlanta from now until the season end. Those games will be hugely important in determining where we land. 1-4 or 0-5 and I think we are good. Do well in those games and we are headed for the darkest timeline.

They are 1-3 in their last 4....

He's been out a single game thus far.

He can see the future… Atlanta wins on Tuesday.

Yeah, I thought they had two wins since their loss in Toronto. I got them confused with the Raptors. My bad.

I was listening to Vecenie talk on a podcast and he said Collin Murray Boyles has at least a 7'2 wingspan.
