fair enough, need to see more I guess. I say late lottery sleeper is not completely impossible, but not probable.
2023 NBA Draft Megathread
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date
I said "outside the top 5 or 6," referring to Scoot and the Thompsons. I don't think Cason Wallace has All Star upside right now. He's not advanced enough offensively. I'm lower on him than some here. NSJ has some All Star upside, but I think it's fairly unlikely when you consider how amazing the real All Star guards currently are. NSJ hasn't shown he's a threat to get all the way to the rim. Terquavion Smith still projects to be more of a bench leader, imo, simply because he doesn't have a complete enough game right now. Sasser will get drafted and be rotational.
Anthony Black and Keyonte George are less conventional options to consider, especially if the Jazz don't want to rely on a ball-dominant guard and play more through a dynamic wing. Black needs to show he can shoot consistently, while his shooting motion limits him off the dribble. Keyonte is someone who *could* play PG and provide offensive punch from that position even though he isn't a natural floor general.
The strength of this draft is wings: Thompsons, Cam, GG, Br. Miller, Hendricks, Walker, Dick, Ba. Miller, Walsh, Murray, Lewis, etc.
How is Terqu's game not complete?
And this draft is strong everywhere besides center. Just because it's a strong wing draft doesnt mean it's not a strong PG draft. It's a strong PG draft.
Limited burst off the dribble combined with his small stature limits his ability to break the paint and make plays. He also settles for long jumpers a la Bones Hyland.
I dont think you've watched him play basketball this year.
I can certainly watch him more, but my comments have been valid when I have watched him. He'll probably get picked in the mid-teens to early-20s range and be slated to be a team's third guard depending on where he goes. I'll watch him some more, and if my opinion changes I'll post about it here.
Sasser would be a pretty solid pick in the 20s of this draft, imo, and he could play either backcourt spot. He wouldn't change the direction of the franchise, but he'd be a nice player.
What? We had 11 more offensive rebounds than them. We just missed 56 shots tonight. Rebounds weren't the problem tonight.

Looking at the boxscore we got outrebounded 44-35 and that's even with Dok getting in and grabbing 4 in the last few minutes of the game.
The Jazz have been getting outrebounded and giving up way too many 2nd chance points every game.
They actually rank dead last in the entire NBA when it comes to controlling the defensive glass.
How they supposed to grab rebounds if the Cavs shoot 60%?
Right, but we only gave up 4 offensive rebounds tonight. They outrebounded us because they had so many more defensive rebounding opportunities than us. Rebounding wasn't our problem tonight.
