2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I am irrational on Sensabraugh but I think he is a gem and Ferg's speculation is correct and would be a reliable scorer. If the pick is not top 8, I would trade down to get Brice and also bargain hunt for two more players such as Sidy and Bilal.

At the end of the day, the NBA is about getting buckets. The top teams have firepower across their lineup. Sensabaugh has an argument for being both the best and most versatile shooter in the draft. (It's him or Gradey.) How much value he adds outside of that is a question. But he's 6'6"-ish, 230 lbs and has the tools to defend and move the ball if he's properly motivated. I think he should be in the discussion for the Twolves pick along with Sidy Cissoko.

Whitehead had a rough season from an injury standpoint and never got going but I think he has become underrated. He can really shoot the ball from the outside and was known as having a great off the dribble game in highschool. The leg injuries clearly impacted that aspect of his game this year and he never really got into a good rhythm after missing the preseason and then injuring his ankle midway through the season. As long as that leg checks out physically then I still think he is a steal in 20's where he is being projected in most mocks that I have seen.



If he can get back to the burst that he shows in these highlights with his shooting ability then you have one hell of a player.

no question he's a sleeper prospect and could be excellent value and a solid risk/reward pick late first, early second.

leonard miller still being slept on. imo, he's a lottery prospect, maybe top 10 - was just too dominant in the g league at age 19. if you can get him in the late first, good golly, you take him and run.

He is a rebound machine and looks to be mobile enough to become a high level defender with that length, if his bbiq ever catches up with his body. I think he is pretty raw still upstairs, but somebody might see enough potential there to pick him late lottery instead of after 20. I doubt he goes higher than 15 unless in the interview process they discover he has taken a crash course in court awareness, and suddenly shows playmaking potential he never showed in the gleague. The mental side is what makes Kessler so great as a rookie, and it is a big deal if you aint got it.

There is in fact a better chance this guy goes lottery or falls massively like Bol Bol did- based only on his medical report. He was and remains a lottery target imo with a clean report, despite playing hurt, and not that good. I think even if us or someone else gets gifted his services in the late lottery like denver did with MPJ we should be happy. but if that report is red. I would not see him late first at all. He will have to take a non guaranteed highly controlled 2nd round contract

The thing with Leonard is that I'm not sure how high his upside (like will the shot ever happen, will his handling ever be good enough to be more than a transition pusher, will his man defense ever be good enough to guard on the perimeter) but I like the base of what he is now that's he's focused on being a garbage man type big.

sitting at 33% from three in g league. granted it's not on a lot of attempts, but it's a base to start from and it's better than other g league prospects like Scoot and Sidy (who don't attempt many either). It's not as if he can't shoot at all or that his shot is broken.

Yeah, I like him a lot. Think he was at 16 when I did the last rankings.
