2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Miller going #5 shouldn't be considered falling, imo. Indiana would be choosing between Miller and Whitmore. I suppose they could go the other way and take Miller, but Whitmore is going to be a better on-ball creator and bigger mismatch, imo. Amen Thompson's value is maximized playing on the ball, but I'm not sure I'd take the ball out of Haliburton's hands. With Whitmore, I get superior athleticism and a player that complements Hali.

Charlotte has Lamelo and Rozier in their backcourt. They need spacing and scoring. Bouknight hasn't panned out. Keyonte fits the bill. They could go Jarace here possibly, but Keyonte is going to be tempting as someone who can play next to Lamelo or spell him.

Someone is going to fall in love with GG and Masai Ujiri is a strong candidate to be that guy, essentially drafting an understudy for Siakam. Toronto needs to draft for star potential and GG has it. If I were Toronto, I'd also look at Cason Wallace, since my guard creation is all but limited to FVV right now.

I think Wallace is going to go in the mid-1st round unless a team has a clear positional need and falls in love. He'd be good value for the Jazz with the T'wolves' pick.
The #1 Miller hater strikes again!

I agree there is no chance Miller falls to 5 if there are no legit civil suits on him at the time of the draft to raise red flags about his character. But he won't be drafted at 5 either if there are. We have seen plenty of kids slide to far less concerns about behavior than one's where a draft prospect was closely associated with and potentialy invoivled in a 187
 
This is absolutely bananas. Trying to not too fall too head-over-heels in love with him since I know so little but it's getting kinda difficult.

G-league is much better for showcasing players than the NCAA. Imagine if Cam Whitmore or Jarace Walker were playing for Ignite. There'd be highlights every night.
