2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Something I didn't realize: Scoot is a full year younger than the Twins. His numbers for the G-League ignite compare really favorably to the twins given his tougher competition and younger age.

I really like Scoot and Amen....but neither of them seem to be able to shoot.

I think that a few months from now, there may be an argument for Nick Smith ahead of Scoot. Smith isn't the same level athlete, but he's a really good two-way player who can do just about everything at 6'4". He fits the modern game quite nicely.
 
Vecenie said he isn't super high on the draft outside of the top 2.....I tend to agree but there are so many guys in the next group 1 or 2 are bound to see a stock increase.

I think Wemby and Scoot are both #1 caliber prospects. Neither is generational, but they could be if they play well this season. Behind them, there are 6-8 guys who feel like top 10 picks, but need a big season to look like true top 3 or 5 draft picks.

Don't think the hype is the same as 2014, but to NUMBERICA's point there has never been a prospect like Vic. There have been better prospects over the years, but he is the most unique and carries a new level of intrigue.
 
Ausar Thompson 5 games in. 1 of 18 from three and 10 of 22 from the FT line. Not great bob.

Dariq Whitehead will be in the convo for top-5 when he comes back from injury.

I think that is why I like this draft. Guys like Whitehead, Whitmore, Thompsons, and Smith Jr. are all good wing prospects... i think there is some depth. I don't think the draft is generational like Tony Jones says and I don't think its meh like Vecenie is saying. The college season weeds a few guys out and a few guys rise to the top... but I think we have a chance at getting a two way wing with athleticism and good length... finally.
 
I find it really annoying how anyone ranks a draft class before anyone actually declares for the draft or plays games.
