2023 Mock Draft - Take 1

Would be good to see different scenarios... Our draft position is also really fluid so I'm guessing it would change quite a bit. Next time maybe we allow trades if they can be completed in an hour or so.

I kind of like how quickly it went. I’d say keep trades out for now, but do a couple more with up to date standings and draft situations.

We can do a bigger one with trades closer to the draft.

I'm shocked @Saint Cy of JFC passed on him multiple times after telling me he is a lotto prospect but at least you are true to your draft board. Also something poetic about the Hornets going from Cody Zeller to Mason Plumlee to Flip (I'm kidding but the joke was too obvious for me to ignore).
 
Clippers select.... let me think about this...

Yeah they need a combo guard with good shooting to space the floor for PG and Kawhi. They get good passing from those two so opting for a guy who fights for boards and shoots like a charm... yeah thats perfect.

I don't love Jett but I'd probably take him and hope he isn't just a shooter or I'd reach for Sidy.

I've liked Cason the more I've watched him... if Cason and Ochai are your starting backcourt I have some questions though. I'd need a pretty dynamic 3 with the ball. Maybe you go get Demar on the cheap or go all in on Brown (but the knock on him is passing). Maybe you combine it with signing FVV and bring Cason off the bench for a few years? I know they said they wanted to start Ochai next year... maybe they run him at the three?

Yeah....I think you need more juice in that backcourt although I'm starting to think we can start anyone at PG and we'll be ok haha.

I don't necessarily think you need to try to build the perfect team and fill every whole with this draft, but I do think we should try to add someone with some pop. That's why I don't mind taking George/JHS/Smith. Chances are they turn into a worse version of JC, but it's not totally unrealistic that they become a high volume scorer.

Yeah and I get that... just feels like we could add guys like that pretty easily so maybe a swing on a wing or two isn't a bad idea. I think Wallace is big enough to play with another pg if you found one that is a better playmaker.

If the draft board fell like it did I'd probably just take a swing on Sidy... even though its a reach. I'd trade back maybe package 12 and 28 for the two middle Brooklyn picks if I could get Sidy and someone else I liked better. I doubt Whitehead falls as far as he did in this mock.

Just tried to think like the teams drafting. I was drafting for two win now teams. Think this draft is kind of flat after a certain point so we will see a lot of teams taking need into account.

Nah... you just really don't believe in him like you stated... he'd be way lower on your real draft board. Its fine. When I suggested Jazz it was nah... and you had two other teams pass on him here... there is a reason they passed even if the draft is flat. He's a tweener with limited upside and is more of a late first early second guy... just like I stated.

I've never seen someone so pressed about a prospect

Not pressed at all... I said I didn't like him and a few dudes freaked out... then it turns out one dude ain't even like him.
 
This was fun, but once a week seems extreme. Obviously if you have enough people that want to do that, then go ahead.
