2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

There are also going to be opportunities to move up in this draft. If you want to get in the top 5 I think its possible. May not be dirt cheap but it will be reasonable. This "bad" draft may provide some real opportunities.

Is there any other prospect in recent history who has put up the type of production Reed has with a similar physical profile, as a Freshman for a school in a major conference?

If you look at production/age/circumstance, then he should be in the top 5 pick conversation. If you look at physical profile (height/wingspan) then he's probably a late first round pick. It feels super unique, but maybe I'm forgetting someone.

I think its pretty unique.

I'm not seeing anyone in this draft worth trading up for. Is there somebody specific you think would go higher than top 8 that you think would be worth it?

I haven't looked at the guys really hard so I'm not the right person to ask. DA may see something though. I'd likely target Risacher or Williams cuz we need wings and wing prospects.

I'm just saying normally the price is normally excessive. In this draft it might be fair.

Just eyeballing it and I'd likely have Reed 5th but I think NBA evaluators will ding him for the length concerns.

So it isn’t all that wild to have him #1 in this draft.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Reed has made more threes than he’s missed.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Plus he is a guard that plays for Kentucky… he’s got it all.

Reed does have like serious John Stockton vibes. I want to ask him what his stance is on vaccines and see if the comp is valid.

If not, there's still Mark Price.

Its pretty wild.

maybe not pretty wild. I'll say aggressive.

I could go as high as maybe #8 with Sheppard. I think more realistically he'll go in the later lottery. Remember that Davion Mitchell had some dominant games for Baylor. Not saying there's a direct comp or correlation of circumstances, but guys who are probably 3rd guards tend to go a bit later.

** Notices that Mitchell was picked #9. **

TJ McConnell gets a ton of steals as well. Which is why I mentioned him. Tyus wasn't so much of a comp as a level of player as his floor. And I did say plus version. Like I'd be shocked if he wasn't at least like the best backup pg in the league type of player. I could see him reaching a Desmond Bane level as a player but they are different player types.

I'd bet on him as he has so many markers of a guy that might be underrated and he's a Kentucky guard.

Yeah he gets steals. Reed gets blocks where he is putting up a 36 inch quick twitch vert to block jumpers.
