2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I'd tell ya to look up the numbers but ya already did that. Tay gets more blocks, steals, assists and less turnovers and fouls... so any projection on their defense is purely eye test because the numbers say otherwise. Maybe you could argue those things are even but arguing that Clowney is better in those areas is a little tough.

I would say the only thing Hendricks has is shooting. Clowney has better handle upside, better finishing, better defense, better foul drawing.

But yeah the shooting difference is potentially very large if Hendricks becomes a guy who can shoot 5+ per game where Clowney is more like a 2 per game type player.

Yup, clearly showed Clowney was the guy with the better baseline of skills.
 
A lot of guys are starting to develop now so it's interesting going back through the thread.

I swear to never over-rank a player with mediocre athletic tools who also had very bad advanced stats ever again.
 
I really liked Keyonte and thought there was no way he'd last to #16. Jazz got lucky that teams took Gradey Dick and Jett Howard.

That said, I also liked Kobe Bufkin, whose career never really got off the ground. At first, I thought it was because he was behind Trae Young and (at the time) Dejounte Murray in the Hawks' rotation, but he just hasn't gotten traction in the NBA.

GG Jackson had a good rookie season and part of a good sophomore season, then everything seems to have stopped. Memphis won't play him now.

I remember when it looked like we were ending up 7-9 I had a few conversations with you about guys in that range and we always had Keyonte in those discussions.

Keyonte got hurt and had a bad 2nd half to his college season. That dropped him in the end. In the 1st half of his college season, he had a few stats (including FT% and steals) that compared well with Brad Beal at Florida.

I thought Keyonte would be able to score 20 ppg in the NBA. I didn't see him becoming an elite lead guard. Now it looks like that path may be on the table for him.

Also, Clowney has looked good the last few games and has promise... but I didn't see some amazing defender out there. His rebounding numbers are embarrassingly low.

Like I've said with Taylor... talk to me in a year. I have said this is a rehab year before the year even started.

I'll also say that Keyonte is one of the guys who is the easiest for me to see how he exceeds expectations. A lot of what he needs to improve on should come with age and experience. He's a capable passer, for example, just not a very willing one. I think if he has a good coach and gets in a good environment, he could be one of the next great scoring guards.
