2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

I think our boards are similar this year.

For the record, I'm not totally against him. But as a top 5 or top 1 pick as has been discussed....I gotta see more than that.

One thing the Jazz's center needs to do, whether that's Kessler or someone else, is set a solid screen. Gordon Hayward used to live behind Rudy Gobert screens, and it bought him time to make reads and make plays. I think Risacher might be able to do some of the same things, but he's going to need screen actions to free himself. He's not going to just take people off the bounce.

He has a nice shiftiness to his game.

Not sure there was a single play where he moved off the ball for a bucket. Just a bunch of transition or early clock mid-range pulls ups. Very mediocre looking.

When Risacher was shooting closer to 50% on the season from 3 he was definitely more appealing to me....I also didn't realize his FT% was so mediocre and has been that way forever.

Haha, gotta love your negativity. There is plenty to like about what he does in that highlight video.

Dink doesn't sound like the type of bet I would like to make if I was a GM. Not sure I care if he is deemed eligible... if we stay at 8 I think I'd rather bet on someone else.

I’m afraid you’re wrong my friend. We can discuss this and Flip on our next pod. People enjoyed the disagreements.

If you're betting on a long shot young prospect you want them to have standout traits. Dink has none of those. Very basic and dime a dozen as a prospect.

No matter what we have our Sheppard bond that will last forever.

This could age very badly. 6’8 with those handles and passing abilities is very common for sure.

I just pointed out some facts man. If you're extremely excited by the dude taking middy pullups with teens left in the clock because no one is trying that hard on D cuz they are playing the Ignite then we got different types and it makes sense why we disagree so much cuz you like mid and I like good players.

Handles were average and passing was average. Anyone can put up stats in the G-League if your team gives you the opportunity. When there is no wining involved it's not really impressive or noteworthy.

I mean, JHS, who I still love, was one of the most inefficient college scorers last year and he became a scoring god in the G-League. It's just a joke of a league in terms of scouting. It's a cardio league to let your players get confidence while your main roster is too stacked to play your rookies.
