2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[default]

Who has a foot issue? GG? Or you mean, Dariq Whitehead?

Dang it. You are right. Trying to work and check boards too. Thanks!

NO TO GG JACKSON. YES TO HENDRICKS

If GG is now a top 8 that means there are more options at 9

I'd be cool with that draft.

Got the safe role player in Cason, the star upside with GG, and the high level role player upside with Bilal.

You’d be fine drafting a pg with limited offensive upside, basically guaranteeing, he’s a role player. I don’t give an *** about safety with a top 10 pick, I want the possibility of stardom or high upside starter that’s not Cason

i like it

Well, I hope I’m wrong I’m Cason.

Who are you thinking about that has more offensive upside at 9? Just curious.

Do you even watch the games fool. Cason could very well be a good two way starter in the league… just cuz he ain’t flashy, doesn’t have a highlight reel of him dunking on guys 2 years younger than him, and doesn’t post daily videos of him crossing up furniture doesn’t mean he’s low upside. He’s good at many basketball things on both sides of the court… and he’s got that dawg in him. Just because he has a high floor doesn’t mean his upside is limited.

Wild *** swings for the fences at #9 are not recommended.

I did just watch a full game, I think it was Sunday. I said then when I posted my thoughts on his game I watched that one is not enough to have all the goods on him, and he’s still developing I’d assume. But I just didn’t see him do much with the ball in hand, and didn’t do much playmaking.

He dealt with injuries but his numbers aren’t that bad. He stays in his lane like a lot of Kentucky players… guard’s especially the theory of what he could be is very much something we need and I’m watching the playoffs and seeing a lot of guards his size do well… seeing how valuable two way players are… like even if he’s an average pg on offense he projects to be probably top 5 pg on defense… Cason also a dawg and that is something we currently lack and something the last iteration of this team needed desperately… he’s safe cuz he has a high floor… it doesn’t mean he has no upside… he has great upside. His median outcome might be okay starter… whereas GG’s median outcome is G League starter. If he’s some version of Jrue… that’s a home run.

GG's range is probably 10 - 16.

GG's median outcome is Jeff Green. 'Median' outcome means middle outcome, not low end. It's getting late in the season to throw up takes like that.
