2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I'd like to see UCLA put Jacquez on Timme. With Adem Bona out it looks like UCLA has walkons as the only other bigs.

Hawkins has the prettiest shot and is probably the best movement shooter in the draft.

I think he looks much shorter than 6’6” and is very thin, but his shot looks great and he is elite at the free throw line.

Jaime Jacquez should absolutely be a first rounder.

This is for everyone who clowned me for saying we should promise Walsh with our 76ers pick

How exactly is this getting back at people that clowned you for this?

After a bit of a slow start Black ended up having a good game.

I am probably in the minority but I would take Haliburton over Edwards.

No question here.

Black's defense is really really good, just nervous he can't dribble and pass well enough to run a team, and can't shoot well enough to play off ball. Obviously a high upside pick if his shot comes around.

UCLA’s bigs are so bad lol. They got away with it by forcing turnovers in the first have. But now it’s just a slaughter. Nobody to stop Timme or get a rebound.

That game was crazy. I’m happy Drew Timme has 46 years of eligibility left.

I’m no Anthony Edwards fan (I’m pretty vocal about that) but he was absolutely the best player that year AND I could have taken him #1 overall. With that said, I’d hate to build my team around him.

An incredibly talented ****-head.

So... a Redraft of 2020 would look something like this, no?

1 Anthony Edwards
2 Tyrese Haliburton
3 Lamelo Ball
4 Desmond Bane
5 Tyrese Maxey
6 Jaden McDaniels
7 Immanuel Quickley
8 Saddiq Bey
9 Devin Vassell
10 Onyeka Okongwu / Deni Avdija

1 Anthony Edwards (picked #1)
2 Tyrese Haliburton (picked #12)
3 Lamelo Ball (picked #3)
4 Desmond Bane (picked #30)
5 Tyrese Maxey (picked #21)
6 Jaden McDaniels (picked #28)
7 Immanuel Quickley (picked #25)
8 Saddiq Bey (picked #19)
9 Devin Vassell (picked #11)
10 Onyeka Okongwu (picked #6)
11 Deni Avdija (picked #9)

Of those 11 players, four would be out of reach if the Jazz had the picks they hold this year back then (Edwards, Ball, Okongwu & Avdija). Two would be available with their 11th pick (Haliburton & Vassell). Three would be available with their 17th pick (Maxey, Quickley & Bey) and two would have somehow been available with their 28th pick (McDaniels & Bane).

Every draft pick a littered with guys like this - now the Jazz just have to identify them and draft them when they are on the clock.
