2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[NUMBERICA]

Probably but the question is - if you are Utah, what do you offer? Do you offer it all?

Offer all available picks, yes. But no swaps (gotta have some fallback with the Stepien protections already in place).

...

... maybe a swap or two.

I don't think there is any offer that we should make that would be accepted. If it was all pushed in whatever team it is should do it probably. IDK nothing will really happen on this front so its not worth giving too much thought to.

Decided to do top 15 so far in the the draft

Victor Wembanyama
Scoot Henderson
Nick Smith
Dariq Whitehead
Cam Whitmore
Amen Thompson
Keyonte George
Dillon Mitchell
Ausar Thompson
Cason Wallace
Anthony Black
GG Jackson
Dereck Lively
Jarace Walker
Kel'el Ware

He's not getting hype yet but I'm going to predict Brandon Miller as a top 10 pick. Maybe top 5.
My guess is he jumps up draft boards similar to how Scottie Barnes did before the 2021 draft.

I think Ainge has enough ammo to grab any kid he wants in the 2023 draft outside of Wemby and Scoot. The teams that land a top 2 pick are not going to trade them for a ton of picks.
OKC apparently tried to trade their stash to Cleveland last year to move up a few slots for Mobley but Cavs wouldn't bite.

 

[George W]

I have a horrible gut feeling that Victor is going to the Spurs.

- George

 

[Park Bites]

I am positive that the Jazz will have the worst record in the NBA and get the 3rd pick.

Spence went super hard in his opening rant today. Basically said he is doing this rant to send a message to his friends at the Utah Jazz to trade everyone and go all in on Wemby....

Now I think Vic might be a bust... cancel teh tanks.

 

[YoungJefe]

I'd be happy with Scoot or Vic

I'm going the other way: If Goebbels says that the sky is blue, it doesn't mean it isn't.

In other words, the merits of tanking this year are so ****ing obvious that only the most delusional don't see it.

Transfers to Creighton this year.

Is he the next Joe Ingles?

Blasphemy. The is one and only one Jingles. He can maybe be a quality imitation, but we had the original too long to think otherwise.

Quin Snyder and Wemby going to take the Spurs back to the finals.
