2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Creighton is one of the team's I will keep an eye on this season.

Arthur Kaluma might be my top Jazz pre-season target if the Jazz end up being a late lottery/early playoff team. Sophomore so he might fall to that range as Freshman overtake him.

Scheirman will just be interesting to watch. Would be a fun player if he can manage to learn NBA level defense.
 
Think the Jazz really need to get an athletic center in the next draft as well. I think Kessler is a very good backup. I dont know if he's a good starter with where the NBA is heading. Not really a knock against him as much as it is just the writing on the wall. The Jazz need their version of Robert Williams.

Maybe a James Nnaji.

There's only been an open scrimmage and one exhibition game, but I'm liking how GG Jackson looks, especially for a 17 year-old. He's just got the right combination of things -- enough size, enough athleticism, enough handle, enough shooting touch, enough aggressiveness getting downhill, enough timing on steals and blocks. He's got the tools to be a significant player as a baseline.
 
Except Harden being out might help them...
Harden and Maxey were already both top ten in minutes played per game. Melton has back stiffness… I’m sure replacing those 38 minutes with Shake Milton and Furkan Korkmaz will have a super positive effect. Even if it means more Embiid touches it will mean more of a chance of wearing him out.

This isn’t horrible but there is no realistic scenario it helps them.

Yeah, I think it will. Obviously it wouldnt be a positive thing long-term, but in the short-term it will help them revert back to their play-style strengths and will probably get Tobias back to being more involved.
