2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[HeatCheck]

I still like Kessler but would trade him to upgrade to either Clingan or Sarr who would both fit better what Hardy wants to do.
Sarr is switchable while Clingan has a much better offensive skillset than Kessler.

We have a chance to follow the Knicks model.

Get Clingan, Castle, and Karaban.

Castle+Edey might be doable but grabbing both Clingan+Castle seems way too optimistic.

No question. Mostly just joking.

With Zach Edey, you pretty much need to design your team around him -- slow the pace, play in the half court, dump the ball in, let him draw defenders, etc. It's like building around Yao Ming. It's definitely a zig to everyone else's zag.

My brain cant rest until I know the correct Castle measurements.

No you don't. You can just draft him and play him like a regular backup center. You have to play drop, but that's the case with a lot of bigs.

Kessler can't score outside of 5 feet. It's a problem. He's also been soft when he needs to be assertive.

I'm questioning Collier too. I think he's got more wingspan than 6'4" or whatever.

No, it was a known thing he had a small wingspan near equal to his height. He might be slightly taller than listed, but dont expect a change in wingspan.

Havent been a Ware guy all year, but he is measuring and testing well.

I just get the feeling he doesn't love basketball or just doesn't have the motor. Maybe there is a maturity issue there or something. On paper he seems like top 10 guy.

Buzlies and Holland both with a 38'' vert. Carringotn with a 36'5 vert which is very surprising given his playstyle. Basically never got to the rim in college.

Mccain measured small too.

He pretty much measured as expected.
