2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Surprised at Karaban. Older prospect too. Really wanted this guy late for Jazz. Oh well. Have read he has decent foot speed (maybe can defend a bit) to go along with good size and shooting. Maybe he can crack the 1st round next yr despite it being a deeper draft.
College stars at blue bloods just have such high incentives to stay now. I thought it was a great decision. He has a chance to 3peat and make crazy NIL money.

Honestly I think most guys should stay now unless they are clear NBA players who can make a rotation within 2 years. At the end of the day the individual can only truly know if they are ready or not, but I think dudes like Cam Christie and Furphy going pro is kind of insane as neither are all that close to being NBA rotation players.
 
NBA teams are probably ecstatic that these guys are going back to school and making NIL money. There's going to be a better talent pool of older players for years to come, even after the COVID eligibility runs up.
 
Bona seems like a Udoka type player
Big strong Nigerian like Udoka
Maybe a bit more polished Much better free throw shooter etc
Not rated in top 60 players Not sure he's the #32 pick
You should have seen him at the combine. He was blocking everything and dunking like Shaq. He looks like he could bench the team bus.
 
Caleb Love is still going to be playing college basketball lol.
I went to college with him… jk I’m old af… but every kid from 2019-2025 can say they went to college at the same school and time as him lol.
 
Interesting, I hadn't heard that Sears withdrew, I thought he was out of eligibility?
I assumed Caleb Love ran out of eligibility too. His NIL $$$$ is probably more than his pro paycheck would be. I still like him more than most people do, but show me the money!!!!
 
Furphy's biggest negative is that he looks about 15 years old.
He measured with a near equal wingspan to height, only weighed 190 lbs, and had a smaller standing vertical than Zach Edey...

I just think the dude is so far away physically I have no idea why he's going pro so early.
