2023 NBA Draft Megathread

The crazy thing with Scoot is that he was a pro for 2 years. I was never a huge believer in Scoot, but I thought the G-League thing would boost him his rookie year as being ready.

The G-League is pretty trash tbh. Producing a lot of mediocre players who dont seem to be all that NBA ready. You have to really hate going to fake classes so much or just have such a horrendous GPA that colleges cant even get you in to go the G-League route imo.
 
OK, so we are about 25% in to the season. Here is a quick update on how the 2023 draft class is looking so far:

Starters: Wemby, Miller, Keyonte, Black

Amen with a monster 29/16/11/3/2 game in his rehab game......BUT only 12-26 shooting and 10/23 from 2FG. Did not watch any of the game so don't want to talk out of my ***, but I do think there's a an issue with Amen and Ausar's touch around the hoop.

I think part of the reason Ausar might be more successful is how he’s positioned. Amen can’t be a full time lead guard if he can’t shoot and struggles to finish. Should probably be developed similar to Ausar as a toolsy wing.

We shall see, currently Ausar can’t shoot either, and while he’s been incredible in some areas he’s struggling to make a positive impact on offense. I feel like if neither can shoot, you might prefer Amen’a superior ability (in theory) to be a ball hander. Without a jump shot, I think both twins could fall into the “more unique than good” category of players.

It’s too early to make any big conclusions, they aren’t the youngest of rookies and if they are ever going to be able to shoot it we would likely need to see some progress soon. Otherwise you’re hoping for a big development outlier.

Looks a lot like OTE > G League
