2023 NBA Draft Megathread

DX Released a mock today:

9. Gradey Dick
16. Noah Clowney
28. Jamie Jacquez


I'm guessing that Clowney is going to shock some people, I've been a fan for awhile now. Fantastic physical tools with good defensive instincts and terrific finishing around the basket. Shooting was not great, but he can be a really good player even without a jump shot.

They have Miller ahead of Scoot, I'm kind of in that camp because Scoot's lack of development + shot distribution this year was not encouraging.

Cason Wallace at #14 is low comparatively.

Bilal Coulibaly at #25....have a hard time seeing him last to #27. If we want him we will have to draft him earlier.

As much as I love Dick, I wouldn't be too thrilled about picking him with Hendricks and Wallace still on the board.
 
I honestly think Black is who we end up taking at 9, assuming he's still there.
If we stay at #9 and nothing weird happens... I think its Black/Wallace/Hendricks... I think Wallace is most likely though because Black and Hendricks are gone.
 
Ainge did say the two things he was looking for most was shooting and defense. Black definitely checks one of those, but his shooting is dreadful. It's not just his percentages, he just looks like a very uncomfortable shooter.

Maybe he fixes it, but I have a tough time projecting players who don't have confidence in their shot.
 
I think I’d prefer to secure Coulibaly with the MIN rather than roll the dice. He’s just too good of an athlete to pass on.

Wallace, Coulibaly, whoever and I’ll be very happy.

So right now, I have in no particular order, Wemby, Scoot, Miller, Amen, Ausar, Walker, Whitmore, and Hendricks in my top 8. If Black jumps into the top 8, I wonder which guy slips to 9?

I would guess Hendricks or Ausar. I think Black ends up top 8 unless he bombs workouts.
