2023 NBA Draft Megathread

KOC has a new mock/rankings

https://nbadraft.theringer.com/mock-draft

Black, Jackson, Jones... not bad. Probably would take Sidy instead of Jackson, but GG was one of the top 2-3 guys left in this scenario.
Even with Keyonte going before our pick, I kind of hate this scenario. Makes me feel like there is a top 7 that I'm super hyped about and then a dropoff. I really don't know these players, I'm going off minimal research and just vibes but that's kind of where things are settling for me. In this scenario I think I'd take Wallace, and Sidy. Hardly know dudes in the 20's and beyond, so sure we can stick with Jones for the third pick.
 
Wait ......
A Sidy pairing with Sexton would work well.
A Sidy pairing with Dame would work too. Omyheck. Why not him as a target?
Even a Kris Dunn and Sidy pairing is very playable.
And yes, a Jordan Clarkson and Sidy lineup would kick ##$ too.

He sticks to the floor like Deron Williams did, but maybe with a little body composition improvement he would get even quicker.
Im all in on Sidy personally.

Will be super important to know who wants what. Can you get Sidy with the Wolves pick or do you need to trade up or use the 1st pick on him? This draft is going to be hard to predict.
 
And I'm not saying he isnt on a dont draft list or anything, but just something to consider. I'm starting to talk myself into Dick being worth a top 8 pick.
I don't dislike him, but I would have Dick in the 12-16 range not top ten. Maybe OK for our second pick, but not our first. Someone will probably take him before then though.

I think most would like Black if they watched him. He's a good pick at 9. I think if we like Cam we need to get above Indiana (assuming they don't move into top 4). Right now I'm fairly convinced Cam goes 5 or 6.

There are some uncanny sims as a draft option to the FInnisher in Grady Dicks game though and he could be seen by this org as an asset to use to keep the Finnisher from getting the Brinks dump

I love that his shooting improved in Gleague. He has all that you need. He can be better with more quickness but I think he has enough of everything else. But we have quickness with Sexton, and Dunn (on the defensive side) if we resign him and Clarkson's ISO will complement Sidy well. Can we draft Cam or Jarace and Sidy, pretty please?

Weren’t a couple people here talking Hendricks in the top-8 or so? Let’s pump the breaks on that.
 
Players i really really want
If we win lotery and move to top 4 brandon miller
With minnesota's pick taylor hendricks but he is likely gone so maybe jordon hawkins
With phili's pick give me sidy. Hope he does not continue to rise in mock drafts.
Miller
Hendricks
Sidy
Would be my dream draft and we would become true championship contenders in a couple years. But would need a ton of luck.
