2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

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.
Yeah... wait until he touches a boob and hits puberty doe.
 
Maybe I'm misremembering, but Locke is getting more into the draft this year than he has in recent memory.
 
Yeah, I do think his athletic testing vertical numbers were very strange and maybe due to injury/complete fluke. The guy has posters and it's not like he has elite length or reach.
I'm not worried about the athletic testing at all. I think he just a solid bet and I think the concerns I have with his body now will go away in a couple years with work and just nature. I think his frame will be able to support some decent weight/strength gains.
 
I saw the usual circulating rumors about the Jazz being willing to trade their picks, but one of them said the Jazz were shopping their first-round picks. I wonder if that means they're targeting someone at #32.
 
One guy who could offer nice value later in the draft is Izan Almansa. His combination of size and athleticism are similar to a young Joaquim Noah. He has a pretty big physical presence, runs the floor well, goes hard after rebounds and could develop in a few different ways. He's still 18.
 
Locke is talking a lot about the draft could mean the Jazz are looking to just trade out of the entire 1st round this year.

Good god shut up. He is awful.
