2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Clingan going to be good

 

[Coach Ellis]

Same.

Just watch this game. You see the full spectrum, from dum dum to scintillating skill.

I don't know what to say if you don't pop your eyes at some of this.

I’m still a big fan of GG. I think he’s still the most talented guy in next year’s draft if he hadn’t reclassified. Definitely some concerns, but the talent and upside really stands out for me. If he reaches his potential, I think he’s a PG-13 type of player. I have him rated pretty high and would be just fine with the Jazz picking him and trying to develop him into the star they think he can become. This is a great year to take some home run swings in the draft GG feels like one of those type of swings.

 

[KqWIN]

He drafted RJ Hunter.

Exception to the rule imo. Langford, Brown, James Young, Avery Bradley, Fab Melo, Sullinger etc.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Is that list supposed to be...unimpressive or something? If anything it shows that teams like to draft top-rated RSCI prospects at the top of the lottery. Wiggins and Simmons made All Star teams. Okafor and Jackson busted for different reasons--Okafor didn't fit in the modern game and Jackson was a pothead who didn't learn to shoot. Bagley and Wiseman are trying to find themselves in Detroit. Barrett is a decent role player. Cade and Chet have had injury issues. Jury is out on Whitehead.

Makes me more interested in taking a flyer on Whitehead if he drops into the Philly pick range. Just hope his issues are mostly injury related and he’ll completely recover from it and become a solid pro. Still think he’s more of a 2 instead of a 3.

I think Whitehead goes top 20, or close to it. He has a chance with workouts to put his season behind him.

Hawkins has a gorgeous shot.

I don’t disagree, but it also wouldn’t shock me to see him sitting there at #27.

I feel like he could have some Allan Houston appeal to the Knicks.

Feels like a decent comp based on the little I know about him. Still wouldn’t be surprised to see a Jaden McDaniels type of fall in the draft based on his freshman season.

Andre Jackson Jr the ultimate if you could teach him to shoot 2nd round steal

@KqWIN Jaden McDaniels was rubbish his freshman season.

@KqWIN Jaden McDaniels was rubbish his freshman season.

And was highly ranked.
