2023 Mock Draft - Take 1

This was fun, but once a week seems extreme. Obviously if you have enough people that want to do that, then go ahead.
At this point in the season I live here, so not an issue for me. I also probably won’t be the one running it, so whatever works for everyone.
 
We will see what his official measurements are, but I think he is closer to 6'5 than 6'7
Sidy and Bilal both look bigger longer than their measurements... Whitehead looks smaller. Think Hollinger mentioned he thinks Whitehead comes in at 6'6". I think he is still a SF as he has some thiccness.
 
Ahh, I was drafting with near no knowledge just measurables and some stats.. Would definitely do it differently if I had another chance.
Hes listed at 6'7 220 and the general thought is that he has been held back athletically due to an injury, so he could possibly play much bigger at the NBA level, but currently he reminds me of KCP. It's a good pick but I would have liked a forward somewhere in the mix.

He doesn't even look that thick to me though. My eye test says 6'5.5 in shoes at 208. Maybe he has a huge *** dumpy that I cant see.

Yea, I think Sensabaugh Murray or Miller instead of JHS was the move.
 
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.
You said you wouldn’t even take him in the first round at all. That was appalling to me. That’s it. He’s likely in the 16-25 range.
 
Dick isn't a bad player, I just see him in the teens as a pick.
He has the baseline tools, just lacks the NBA body and athletic skill, to help us much for awhile. He needs to model his game after Franz down in Orlando imo. He just does not have that mobility.
He struggled against any kind of special attention, and should have overcome it fairly easy if he was lottery pick level, especially with his head height and shooting stroke. He basically failed to do that when it mattered most.
I like him as a long term project that has a very high ceiling if he goes to the right situation, but unfortunate for him is right now he is a pretty low floor shooting specialist that needs better options in front of him to get him open.
We need 1 or hopefully 2 picked in the lottery that can get their own shot and make their own shot, while also being + defenders and able to make others better . Anything short of all those traits and I am trading back or trying to use the picks to get a vet instead.
Dick is an early 20's upside prospect at this juncture for me, even if someone reaches on his potential
