2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Groupthink is an interesting phenomenon. Over on the realgm draft board, Cam isn’t all that highly thought of. Several posters have him anywhere from 9-13 or so.

Not saying one is better or more correct than the other, but he might be a tad overrated on JF, and perhaps a tad underrated over there. Either way, he’d be nice swing for the fences pick at 9 IMO.

Milwaukee Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo is the perfect face of the league

After winning his first NBA title with the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo will likely gain traction as the face of the league moving forward.

I was curious to remember how much Giannis weighed when he got drafted. Crazy to think he actually was lighter than Bilal when he got drafted. Bilal is about 5 months older.

Giannis was 6'8" and 207 lbs. He was about 10 lbs heavier than Bilal.

Bilal/JHS/Strawther

I've always said NBAdraft.net is the best site out there.

No one says that.

So much smoke right now, it's hard to know what to believe. I would be so stoked if Cam really was there at 9.

The Realgm board is typically pretty garbage, though.

Not my favorite Andy Larsen article, but I definitely appreciate the effort:

Andy Larsen: Whom should the Jazz draft at No. 9? Just as importantly — whom shouldn’t they draft?

The Tribune's Andy Larsen studies the keys to success — and the keys to avoiding failure — for the Utah Jazz on draft night as they aim to make the most of their No. 9 pick.

Monty is floating the idea that the Jazz are going to move up for Scoot or Amen. I don't think we have enough to offer to move up that far. Can DA pull some magic out of his hat?

I have seen 0 smoke that the Jazz are interested in (moving up for) Amen Thompson.

Tbh - that would pretty much account for any of the top 10 players outside of probably Wemby and maybe Scoot. Everybody else is young and has huge upside. . . but it’s all about development.

Right, with all the draft excitement we tend to forget that it usually takes a few years before these drafted kids make a difference (if they do at all). Just think how many players under 24 or 25 typically play in the starting lineup of a championship team.

If we got into the top 5 and took Amen… woof

Not what that site said.

Is that a good or bad woof?
