2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Step-Back Hook]

Have to draft Dick and keep Gay in the roster so our announcers will be in a constant struggle to not shove some lines that could be taken wrongly lmao.

EDIT: And yes I am five years old

 

[Elizah Huge]

As long as someone reaches for Anthony Black and Taylor Hendricks in the top 8, we'll be fine....

Those both aren’t reaches though.

2023 NBA mock draft: Projecting all 58 picks post-lottery

The results of the NBA draft lottery are in. Here's our projection of how the June 22 draft will shake out.

I saw someone say that Cam Whitmore is kind of the Rorschach test of the draft which kinda makes sense after watching him… like if you want to see a future Jaylen Brown esque star, you can see it. And if you want to see a tunnel visioned player who is a bad playmaker and won’t be able to barrel is way through nba players a la Stanley Johnson, Shabazz Muhammad, or Derrick Williams, you can see that too. He was one of the dudes i immediately liked though so I’m riding with him would love him at 9, but he’ll probably go before we pick.

Whitmore might be the most Danny Ainge type pick in this draft. The Jazz appear to have the right developmental staff in place to develop a player like him too.

If I'm the Jazz, I'm learning everything there is to know about Bilal Coulibaly.

At 9 I’m thinking we get Ausar, Wallace, Walker, or Dick. Of those I rank them in that same order.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Those both aren’t reaches though.

This… we definitely want Tay Henny available. Both guys are worthy of a top 8 pick.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

If I'm the Jazz, I'm learning everything there is to know about Bilal Coulibaly.

Me too… then picking him 16 unless there is someone better.

Me too… then picking him 16 unless there is someone better.

Will he make it through OKC + TOR? He may not be your fav at #9, but I don't think he's making it past both those teams.

Trade Kelly Olynyk, Walker Kessler, Rudy Gay for Scoot and Nurkic.

Huge salary savings for the washed Nurkic but the Jazz don't give up picks.

Gonna have to send #9 too.

Does not come close to getting it done.
