2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Dalls is in win now mode. Bilal is a project. If you're Dallas you trade the 10 for someone who can keep luca in Dallas. The biggest project in the top 17 players isn't that guy.

They could go Bilal. At the end of the day you need to take who you truly believe can be the best player within their 4 year rookie contract. I think Bilal will need time, but he's not a 2 years away from being 2 years away type prospect either.

I think Dallas decision tree should be: How much better do we think Derick Lively is than James Nnaji, how far back can we safely trade back to draft James Nanji, and does what we get from trading back make up the difference (or possibly add to the positive difference).

Simply put I think it would be insanity to pass on the two centers with elite physical/athletic traits to pair with Luka.

But you really believe in Bilal why not? At the end of the day this draft is loaded on question marks and I still think the people acting like Bilal is anymore of a question mark than many of the other lottery prospects are being silly

To me GG is undeniably more talented than Whitmore and I see his flaws as being easy to work on.

Sometimes I do feel like the GG is stuff is one giant smokescreen (pun intended). Of all that prospect interviews I watch, he's in the top 5 in terms of personality (Dick, Black, GG, OMP, and JHS). Not that he isn't immature, but it's immaturity entirely based on age and not some overarching character flaw.

I don’t get the pun part..

A popular rumor is that he smoked weed in the middle of a team workout

Just nutty athleticism. In terms of vertical explosiveness he might be ahead of both twins.

Working out with Melo confirming his busy potential

I wonder how they are trying to address the actual question marks of his game? His athleticism is really not surprising to anyone at this point. I'd much rather see him make some nice passes in 3 on 3, rather than... whatever this is... open lane dunking.

Hahaha.. what’s with that drill where he was guarding someone then he suddenly hands the ball to you? Then he turns around and shoots it?

LOL.. c’mon man

What’s a ‘busy potential’?

Bust potential.

The biggest knock on Cam is he doesn't pass the ball. I think that's funny that he was working out with Melo because that was always my problem with Melos game.

I would definitely trade up for Whitmore because I think he will be an alpha on a team and we want one.

My Brother, you haven't even considered the fact that we will TRADE UP to draft Nick Smith Jr.

Lol
Ouch
