2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Looking back at a re-draft if you were the only team with future info I think we'd go Key at #9 (just take him rather than Cason or Hawkins as Key likely gets taken in between 10-15 if a guard comes off the board at 9) and I think you'd end up with Jaquez at 16. If you asked me would I swap Taylor for Jaquez right now I'd probably have to do it, but I am also fine with developing Taylor. We came out with a solid scenario at 9/16 imo as of right now.

In hindsight I'd also gladly throw in some additional capital to move up for Ausar but we don't have any indication on how willing Detroit would be to play ball.

Keyonte and Jaquez is where I have been at with a similar thought process.
 
The what if for me is trading up to #7 for Bilal. WAS barely traded anything, but I imagine that if the Jazz were serious about bidding WAS would have also raised their offer. It's impossible to know how much more WAS preferred Bilal to TH/JW and how much more IND preferred JW to TH. I don't think it would have taken #16 to get to Bilal, but #16 would have been required for Black or Ausar at minimum IMO.

Would be pretty sick to have Key and Bilal as our starting backcourt right now.

Why? Walker has looked great. I would still give you that pick for him.

No he hasn't. He has mostly gotten dnp's and has played poorly when he has played (hence the dnp's)
He has played in 4 games. DNP in the others.
39% from the field. Zero percent from 3.
Not great
 
Jarace Walker has actual *game*. It's a work in progress, and maybe he never realizes it fully, but when you watch him he can do everything on the court. You watch Hendricks and it's like watching Stanley from the Office try to dribble.
 
I think Walker has shown more potential to be a big time offensive threat but maybe hasn’t shown the elite role player qualities that some really liked about him. I personally did not pin him as a “questionable shot selection” kind of guy, but he’s kind of been that guy in his pro career. OTOH, he does some special things that really pop, so if he can put everything together you may end up with a really good two way player.
 
JHS finally got some minutes last night in garbage time.
0-3 for zero points in 11 minutes.
I feel like Hendricks could put up those numbers.

You said he has looked "great".
What has looked great? Be specific since you watch him play for the pacers so much (even though he never plays lol)

That's the funny thing, you say you watch basketball not box scores and that's how you know he has looked great. But he never plays. Are you going to pacers practices or something?
