2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[sip]

I'd say a better athlete for sure... likely not as good of a passer though.

Yeah Lonzo was showing some special vision in college.

I hate comparing guys like Black to Lonzo just because the deep 3 ball was such a huge part to what Lonzo did that it's hard to compare anyone who doesnt have that in their game to him.

I dont consider guys like Black to be PG's. Guys his size rarely ever are good enough at ball-handling to be full-time on ball guards at the NBA level. He's probably going to be a swiss army knife type connector, a guy who does a bit of everything and plays all over the court.

Its shades of Lonzo/Giddey to me... that is the player type. May not be a full time "creator" and you can run them with another pg for sure.

Black is one of the top players in the jazz range.

I like reece beekman too, from virginia. Solid defender at 6'3". Decent shooter 47% from 3. Good passer. Runs the team well. Been sharing pg duties with a senior.

i like beekman too, but you can get him in round two

I see him as a 20s first rounder. Especially with the amount of PG starved teams.

Im not sure he's top 60

PG - ???
SG - Agbaji
SF - Brandon Miller
PF - Lauri
C - Walker

At that point throw all remaining assets to get Haliburton. Then you have:

PG - Haliburton
SG - Adbaji
SF - Miller
PF - Lauri
C - Kessler

Wow.

Wow.

They won’t trade Tyrese… our best use of picks is to find the next Tyrese… either by using the picks or trading to move up.

If the Utah/Minny picks fall like 14 and 16 the aggressive move I’d like to see is using the future picks to move up for guys we want.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I want to like Maxwell Lewis, but his team gets absolutely smoked and they have talent for their conference. I dont get how they are as bad as they are.

Do you see him as the Jazz starting point guard of the future? I have my doubts.
