2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[The Midnight]

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

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

Not to mention trading up and eating Bertrand’s contract to grab him.

Man, it's infuriating the Jazz picked right behind the elite talent of the draft.

**** bum *** Whitmore and his trash interviews. Him being poorly regarded really screwed Utah over. We could have had Ausar, Black, Walker, or Bilal if Whitmore goes ahead of the Jazz

At least everyone in the national media likes this draft so there will be enough propaganda to sink my teeth into.

He was also rumored to be struggling to finish the workout and vaping.

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!
