2023 NBA Draft Megathread


Off the top of my head here are players making an impact in the playoffs so far... (leaving off the likes of Curry, LeBron, Durant..)

Booker, Murray, Tatum, Jokic, Embiid, ...

In other words "Scorers".
Jokic, Embiid and the MVP of the playoffs so far, Butler are much more than just scorers. That’s overly simplistic.
 


There’s actually a lot. We’ve had this conversation many times. Reality is that the better you are at shooting coming into the league the more likely you are to be good at shooting in the NBA. There are exceptions, but they are exceptions.
Who? You didn't name 1 player
 
I'm on board with Anthony Black at 9.

Gradey falls to 16. Sign back Favors and give Kevin Love a shot.

PG: Anthony Black
SG: Gradey Dick
C: Derrick Favors
SF: Rudy Gay
PF: Kevin Love

Man you are talking to the wrong guy, I am not arguing the other side of this lol. But of course there are exceptions. Kawhi couldn’t shoot threes and now he’s one of the best shooters in the league. If you want more ask the people who say the shooting in college don’t matter.

I guess Lauri and Walker are coming off the bench?
 
To find a true sleeper your best chances are finding a role

Wrong. Kwahi shot 38% his rookie year...... guess what his career 3 point percent is? 38%. Who else?

Brother trust me I am on the other side of this argument, but there are players that couldn’t shoot and then improve. Kawhi couldn’t shoot in college, that’s what I thought you meant by couldn’t shoot entering the league. His rookie season he was in the league not entering the league lol. We were talking about Anthony Black right? Lmao this is ridiculous.

I don’t know why I’m giving examples for the side I’m not even on, but Wiggins was bad his rookie year and now he’s a good shooter. Horford didn’t shoot 3’s and now he’s a great shooter. Lonzo was great in college, **** as a rookie, and reinvented his shot become good again. Happy? I’m not doing anymore homework for something I don’t even believe in Jesus Christ.

Homework accepted.

I'm also in the boat, if they can't shoot in college, they'll almost never get a shot in the pros.
