2023 NBA Draft Megathread

JHS and Brunson couldn’t be more opposite as prospects.
What's polar opposite? I definitely think they get their's in bit different ways, but they arent that dissimilar.

Both are pretty average athletes by NBA standards who use craft and skilled off the dribble shooting to do their damage. Jamal is a bit more 3pt based and Brunson mixes in more post stuff, but a lot of that is because of the context of their team and Brunson's game has expanded to more 3pt volume since going to New York.
 
Without an obvious star on the board, the Jazz could value Dick's sure-thing shooting and look to mirror the Miami Heat's success by loading up on shot-making. Utah could be drawn to the strategy of building with the firepower/spacing provided by Dick and Lauri Markkanen alongside Walker Kessler's offensive efficiency and rim protection.

I'm still not a huge fan of taking Dick at 9, but I have to admit this roster building strategy does kind of intrigue me.

Here's a funny idea: get Grady and Hawkins then just sign Russell Westbrook off the scrap heap.

(Maybe Russ looks like an MVP candidate for a while on a roster perfectly constructed for him, then maybe you can flip him.)
 
There was only one realistic option in what Cy said as far as who “they” could be.

No idea what this is in reference to, sorry.
I think i made that post like a week or 2 ago. This thread moves fast.

Since my post you quoted said he didnt answer my question and we are talking about cy I will assume that he didnt answer my question even though it would have been easy for him to. It would seem that you know the answer to my question (whatever it was) as well, yet also didnt answer it. I find that weird. When someone asks me a question I just answer it.
 
There's a lot to like about Dick. Had a pretty good freshman year at Kansas, a place where not many freshman perform well.
He doesn't get enough credit for being as complete as he is. Korver with some glue-guy ability.

He's kinda the anti-Jett. They're comparable shooters, but Jett has on-ball chops but is kind of a black hole and sucks at all the connecting parts while Dick doesn't get enough credit for his IQ, passing/vision, transition play, and hustle but has real questions about his on-ball ability. This is obviously a tangent, off-the-cuff thought.

JHS has like 3 inches on Brunson and Brunson was way more efficient in every area as a freshman. Brunson also didn’t declare until he was a junior. Not really similar at all.

Jett Howard isnt a blackhole. He's a pretty good playmaker. Howard had 11.4 attempts per game with 2 APG. Dick had 10.9 shots w/ 1.7 APG.
