2023 NBA Draft Megathread


None of these guards in our range are really knocking me out. While we're at it, I think Jalen Hood-Schifino's lack of burst is going to hold him back. I'm not terribly excited about him in the mid-first.

I feel like the opportunities in this draft are athletic wings and impact shooters/scorers like Dick, Sensabaugh, Hawkins and Howard. Jazz need a lead guard from somewhere, but it might not be this draft.

There's no way in hell Cason is any taller than 6'4 in shoes. The dude looks pretty short and that's with having big hair.

My fear is that he's 6'3 in shoes with a 6'5 wingspan, something like that. The numbers I've seen for him are 6'4 with a 6'6 wingspan. Not awful but not great. Jrue is also 6'4 with a 6'6 wingspan tho so not a death sentence.

Haha that last paragraph is a trip.

What do you think of Bill Coulibay? Yes he is a wing and he is unproven and super young but watching him he looks super fast and light, bouncy, long as a center. He looked like a young Michael Jordan. Could he be a high powered wing/guard?
 
Of Hendricks, Wallace, and Black I actually think Hendricks is the safest pick. I just think any NBA team will be able to find minutes for a guy that can defend the rim and out to the perimeter, and also hit the 3. I don't really see the upside though as I really don't think he's ever high level at self creation or play making for others.

I think Black is the biggest risk /reward of the 3. He just does so many interesting things at his size he could be really special, but if he doesn't develop a shot he might not be playable.

Wallace does a lot of things great, but even the things he needs to improve on, he at least has a good base level to start off with. If he puts it all together he can be great, in my opinion, but even if he never puts it all together he should still be a pretty good player.

I really like all 3, but still would go with Wallace if we had the choice.

It's looking pretty safe right now. Chicago should win at least two more games and all the teams at 37 wins should win at least one more. That would mean we can still win 3 more games and be guaranteed at least a tie for 9th. We could still screw it up, but I think we'll get even more aggressive at worsening our odds of winning games.

Its truly time to shut it down. Washington winning tonight is a game changer if we lose out. Was plays the Bucks and they have wrapped up #1 and the Rockets the last night of the year. There is a slight crack open... sorry Lauri. Win one more and maybe you can tie the Wiz.

Mmm, Yeah I could see them winning two more. I think we win at least one more though, but tie for 8 is better than 9 for sure.

i've seen bronny a lot in real games. this was just more of the same but in an all star game so he got a lot of good looks and he's always been a capable shooter. all he did was shoot mostly open threes. to his credit he hit them, but he struggled to do anything off the bounce, he has trouble beating anybody off the dribble, his handle is shaky, he doesn't make plays for other people, can't get to the rim and his defense is questionable. high level d1 basketball will eat him alive. shoulda gone to OTE or g league.
