2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Couple of shoutouts for some guys:

You guys were right about Bilal. An NBA team took him in the top-7. You guys saw the potential that I didn’t and it was proven tonight. No hard feelings for anyone and your insight is greatly appreciated in these draft threads.

@Bodhi

The two guys who were in on Hendricks early before others saw top-10 potential. Super stoked he was our pick tonight and can’t wait to see him play. You guys are huge contributors in the draft thread as well.

It was nice to see some new posters in the draft thread and I hope you guys make it a more common thing in the future.

I am sure I’m missing a couple guys and I apologize. It has been an absolute blast discussing prospects with all of you and at the end of the day we are all Jazz fans. I know there have been some arguments and there is no hard feelings from me I appreciate all of you.

We crushed this draft and I can’t wait to watch our new guys in SL!

Hittin the molly after the draft. Nice. I might make that a ritual.

I’d love to get TJD in a two way… still out there I think.

God this draft fuxking sucked

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Going to bed. Draft sucked but there's enough talent where I'm sure it will be an overall positive class...


Fear we will absolutely regret not moving up for Bilal or taking JHS

 

[Bawse Dawg]

That’s actually crazy that they had no issue at all saying they had Bilal ahead of Hendricks. Lol

Half these guys will be trade fodder in a super star trade when we get Luka anyways

 

[Coach Ellis]

The Jazz had Walker and Bilal > Hendricks.

Should’ve tanked at the beginning of the year. Too bad the Jazz likely missed out on the real Difference makers from this draft. Happy with Hendricks and George where they got picked, but it’s underwhelming.

Shocked there weren’t more trades tonight.

Underrated post here. Exactly what they did when they traded for KG and Ray Allen. Hopefully, the Jazz pick the right “big moves” to make when the opportunity comes around.

At least we can be 100% sure that they aren’t lying about having George at #10. So they think they got good value there, and really buy into his PG chops.

If he hits it could really come together.

He has the confidence. That’s for sure. Would love to know his measurements. 6’3” 200 isn’t bad for a PG.

It seems like we really value character. Ryan Smith said he sat and talk with Taylor Hendricks for half an hour during his workout.

On that basis the likes of Cam and GG were always gonna be out.

Could someone explain to me why OKC needed to draft ANOTHER point guard?

They could have really used Derek Lively at center, no?
