2023 NBA Draft Megathread

So, as per usual, Norway has zero NBA players (we've had one, Torgeir Bryn got a few games for the Clippers in 89-90, 3 games for a total of 10 minutes and 4 points), so whenever there's a college hopeful, we get an article or two. In 2020, Harald Frey was the talk of the draft (here), but he's in Germany now. This year, it's Kristian Sjølund from Portland Pilots. Has anyone heard of him at all? I doubt he'll be drafted, but maybe he's a potential camp invite somewhere, or summer league. 6'8" and a shooter, so that's a bit intriguing, and also rare. It feels like it's mostly guards coming out of Norway.
 
Its crazy how if you did this graph for like 20 years in a row lebron would be right at the most ideal location basically every year.
He is so special and gets so much undeserved hate imo and isn’t appreciated like he should be.

This shows big wings. If Jokic were included though, he'd be in elite territory as well.
 
His ability to shoot from different angles, off movement and with a quick release at 6'7" - 6'8" really stands out.
His lack of nba level burst, is a concern for a forward, but it will come in time as he gets stronger, and is not a major issue imo. He just needs time in the weight room and the skill level off ball offensively is already top 10
