2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Than Brandon Miller is today?

So 2 years and 7 months older than when Brandon Miller was drafted, that's a very significant difference that you just tried to play off as minimal.

Considering he’s a senior and Miller was a freshman last year it’s not that bad.

If you are trying to argue that Miller was an older Freshman, then I'm not sure how it's relevant to Knecht as a prospect.

I'm a strong believer in Knecht's shooting and think he's a good athlete, but I'm not sure the shot creation will be super effective in the NBA and he does not defend. I think he's more like THJ than he is a player like Bogdan.

Dalton is old AF. We actually went to HS together that's how old he is.

Still like him but may have him more in the 10-12 range.

So old that my mom calls him "Daddy."

Dalton is so old he cites Seinfeld as his favorite TV show

We used to talk about it on the bus to school with all the other millennials.

I didn't have much time, but found this article which basically shows that there is a big drop off with guys drafted over 21 years old. There are always exceptions, and Dalton has a decent case to be an exception, but I think you have to consider his age a huge risk.

Worked out for Derrick White. The exceptions seem to be guys who weren't on the radar so they never had a chance to really be put in a position to come out early

I’m saying Miller is old for his prospect age and he’s killing it. I think we tend to overthink these things sometimes. Jacquez Jr would go in the top-10 in a re-draft.

Also, @SoberasHotRod feel free to mute me if you want because you seem to want to argue or disagree with almost everything I post.

Knecht is a perfect buy for a later pick. Something Miami would do.

Just saw Riley Kugel couldn't get accepted into Kansas because of his grades. Wonder if he just says **** it and goes pro cuz he's too dumb for school

 

[rippimpc]

Imagine getting rejected from Kansas

Thing that eases some of my fears with Knecht’s age is that he was a late bloomer physically. I believe he had a big growth spurt in college which is some of why he wasnt a one and done
