2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I think he ends up with the Mavs but I bet they trade back instead of taking him at #10. Don't think he is a lotto lock at all... think it will be in the teens though.

Over the last few years he certainly wouldn't have been. But that type of player has become way undervalued. Would you rather have a Kessler or have to resort to shopping at Plumleemart.

Lively is damn good and will value better than his draft position.

Lively will have a better career than Grady Dick. Take that to the bank.

I just got back from the bank... I told them this... they said "okaayyyyy... weirdo". So thanks for that.

I mean cuz those are the only two options.

I think he's good but not sure Walker has a whole lot to do with where he gets picked. Some teams still value bigs and I bet he gets taken in the teens somewhere. Duren and Mark Williams both went top 15 so it just depends on who has needs and where they are slotted.

prosper averaged .1 bpg (blocked 5 shots all season), only 4.7 rebs as a 6'8" elite athlete, and .7 assists as a wing (24 assists all season). negative assist/to ratio. due to his athleticism, he has some potential. but he's a second round prospect, maybe you take a flier on him at 28. but he's a workout warrior with some potential at this point.

His defensive tape is pretty good despite low stocks

Soo GG did his pro day on hard mode?

I would agree overall, but this stuff is tough to say because at the end of the day they will have games that are completely different and not directly comparable.

Wonder if Keyonte could work himself into a top 10 conversation…

I thought he was always in that conversation.

Maybe GG will actually be available at 28. Seems like he's really hurting his own stock with this recent stuff. This is where not signing with a big agency hurts. I'm sure DX stuff is partly due to him not having an agent to protect him. Sounds like his Pro Day was bad because he made it too hard? Which would be some your agency would develop for you. Sounds like his interviews aren't going great, which is something your agency would coach you on

None of this changes how I feel bad about his potential, still think he just needs to get under a good team.

I hate that Keyonte was in the "best shape of his life" but doesn't want to do athletic testing.

Pretty sure he does all of basketball on hard mode.

I don't think he goes Mavs unless he really just kills his workouts. He's not as NBA ready as Kessler was.
