2023 NBA Draft Megathread


I want wings and big guards out if this draft - take a home run swing or two and hope that one develops into either a Batman or Robin to run with Markkanen long term.

I'm hoping the Jazz can come away with a high-level guard--Scoot, a Thompson, NSJ, George...maybe Anthony Black (though I'm not sold)--and a versatile forward, either GG Jackson or Jarace Walker. It's possible that Hendricks could substitute for Jackson/Wallace.

If that's not possible, I'd take a swing on an interesting offensive player like Howard or Sensabaugh, maybe Dick.

I’d add Cason in that guard mix personally.
 
Kawhi Leonard has just a few spots on the floor that he's trying to get to, where he's almost impossible to stop--e.g., foul line jumper, 3pt from the top of the circle, etc. But very few people in the league can stop him from getting to those spots. Walker could be similar. His touch on floaters and in the mid-range could be bankable. He just needs to be able to get to his spots.

He might be in my top 5. The defense is real and I just feel he's waiting to explode on the skill front
 
I guess I need to watch him more. I still see him as a 3D guard, like a De'Anthony Melton potentially, rather than your on-ball guy.
I’m really high on him.

Likely never an all-star but I think he’s a long time NBA starter and a dude every team would love to have.
 
I like how he moves and I can see it… Walsh ate him up a couple times… he just takes some hard shots. I think he has to be much more of a point guard if he’s gonna be an all star level guy. If you got him after 10 or so I think it’s good value.

I know Blacks stay line was pretty empty but the guy just plays to help his team win. It has an Ingles vibe… need him to score a few points and move the ball then cool… need him to look for his own shot and he will do it more. I might have him too high but he’s the type of player and kid I’d bet on and be fine with it.
Really wish Walsh could play offense
 
God he’s ROUGH. Was it todays game he air balled that wide open corner 3?

He also passed up so many wide open looks. I don’t think he’s a first rounder.
Yeah, probably not. The defense is very good though so I'd understand drafting him at the very end of the first. Could be a Thybulle type.
 
Whoa. Can i have an explanation on the paul rudd part? Does scoot resemble him or something?

Couldn’t think of a third basketball comp… so I picked a guy universally loved to strengthen the threesome. I mean if Paul Rudd wanted to join you and your wife in the sack be honest… neither of you are saying no.
