2023 NBA Draft Megathread


If Taylor Hendricks measures out at 6'10" in shoes, he becomes really appealing. The question with him has been what he can do off the dribble, but if he's 6'10" he doesn't actually have to do much off the dribble. He'll just pick his spots and shoot over people like Anthony Davis does.

This is dumb. He’s just good… he’s beyond appealing no matter what his measurements are.
 


Would Keyonte George fall to us at 8th?

Would Taylor Hendricks fall to TWolves pick at 16?

That would be a dream draft imo..

Walker Kessler
Lauri Markkanen
Taylor Hendricks
Ochai Agbaji
Keynote George

That’s a dream lineup going forward.
 
I'm reading the BR mock this morning (last updated Feb 27) and it has us taking Jalen Hood-Schifino with the Timberwolves pick. I've probably missed it, but don't remember much discussion about him in this thread. Living in Indiana, you would think I would know more about him, but I don't. Any thoughts on him?

It feels like there is an abundance of high level PG/Combo Guards in this draft. Hopefully we can get the right one since I don't love our free agent choices for that position.

Right now those are the two players I am most interested in drafting given our likely positions in the draft.
 
What I expect the Jazz to do: take a dive in the standings and go after Cam Whitmore with their first pick, then hope they can get Wallace or Hendricks with the Minny pick. I think they'll offer the Philly pick on the trade market.
Just saw this post and fully agree.
I can see them drafting an athletic wing with their first pick and someone like Wallace with the Minny pick even if they need to add draft capital to move up a few spots.

Keyonte would be the only one in that lineup who can do much off the dribble right now. Also, Taylor Hendricks dropping to #16 would be the bottom end of his range, imo. Maybe the Jazz's 2nd pick comes in at #14 after the play-in tourney? In any case, both Keyonte and Cam Whitmore should have some All Star potential.

Lauri Markkanen
Cam Whitmore
Ochai Agbaji
Cason Wallace
....might be more versatile. Defense would be very solid.

He's appealing, but he's mostly a 3D guy until he shows more ability to produce off the dribble. If he measures a bit bigger, he's more likely to play minutes and be featured as a big. That improves his upside.

Is Cam Whitmore the guy that jumps off of 2 legs? If so no thanks for me.

Canon Wallace .. worry about his 3pt shooting.. the list of Pg that can’t shoot is too long.. MCW, elfrid payton, etc..
 
I wonder if DA would go Dick over Whitmore if given the opportunity.

Obviously Whitmore's physical profile makes you believe he has a higher ceiling, but Dick is the potential elite shooter who has a good physical/athletic profile. A lot of mocks are starting to have Dick in the top 10.
