2023 NBA Draft Megathread

But also, JJJ is a big and Hendricks is a forward. I’m not offended by the idea of Hendricks being something like the JJJ of forwards in that he will block a lot of shots for his position(s) but he will not have the luxury of being camped at the rim so much.

He helps negate the strategy of using switches to draw Kessler away from the rim though. . .
 
I think Hendricks has low BBIQ, particularly as far as an NBA person is concerned, and thus will be exploited and put in positions offensively and defensively where wrong decisions will be made and he'll be a negative player as a result.

Well, I would take the under on 1.5 as well lol. I was thinking about 1.0 blocks per game lol. There's only about 30 guys who are >1 block per game.

right and there are probably fewer than 30 guys who are known as shot blockers. to be a "shot blocker", 1.5 is actually a pretty low threshold.

I am the #1 Bilal hater on the board but if he’s the pick I will unequivocally become his biggest fan. I am a ****ing homer once you are on our team you are the guy.

Yup. Gotta save up some money for my Anthony Black jersey if he is the pick.
 
Listening to Jim Rome on my lunch break and he is ripping a Brandon Miller interview where he calls Paul George the GOAT. Pretty funny.

Well when I said I think he can/will block shots I was thinking about 1 per game. Gobert and Jarrett Allen don't even meet the 1.5 threshold.

Why do you think that though? Poor interviews? teammates or coaches talking **** about him? Dumb stuff off the court? Any evidence to support the opinion?

i promise hendricks won't be known as a shot blocker in the league - let's measure that by averaging 1.5 bpg for at least 2 seasons. if I'm wrong i'll buy you a burger - if you're not annoying you can even make it a meal (but it won't happen so i can be as generous as i want).

Its just odd to me that people are acting like Hendricks is something unique. PJ Washington exist. John Collins exist. Jabari Smith exist. Patrick Williams exist. Christian Wood exist.

And that's just accounting for the successful guys in this mold. There are plenty in the same mold who havent done much in the NBA.
