2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Grimes was a big disappointment until he transferred and had a decent junior season. I don't mind Grimes, but he's not a top-10 pick, which is where Davis was consistently being mocked.
When it's all said and done he will probably just be right outside the top 10 players for his class...

Not to belabor it, but he'd have to jump close to 15 spots in a re-draft -- Mobley, Cade, Giddey, Scottie, Franz, Sengun, Cam Thomas, Green, Kuminga, Suggs, Murphy, Herb Jones...

I mean I’d take him over Suggs and Thomas for sure right now. Kuminga and Jones might drop below him too.
 
Markkanen/Kessler/Agbaji is a tailored made supporting cast around Luka.

Agreed, but I wonder if we would be able to hold onto Kessler and Ochai if we traded for Luka? I imagine the Mavs would want young talent like Kessler and Ochai in return for Luka, along with a bunch of 1st round picks.

In this scenario it was Wemby for Luka but I know what you’re saying if it wasn’t this scenario. Sexton might be of interest to them.
 
Yep. They are always trying to cover there *** because they know they will be wrong more often than they are right.

It's not covering their ***, it's just knowing and understanding the topic. The less people know about a topic the more they feel confident about that topic.

This is a good post but I thought the scenario was we have the number 1 pick this year and mavs want to give us luka for it or something like that.
 
Is KO being seen as an insult? Without looking, I bet KO is a top 10ish player in most drafts.
I know this my seem irrational but with a top 20 pick I’m looking for a guy that has a ceiling of what would be a top 7 or 8 ish player in that particular draft… unless it turns out to be a great draft. Landing say the 15th best player in an average draft with the 20th pick is not like a big win… it’s not a big L…

Not sure if that makes sense or seems dumb… later in the draft I think you can try and hit a single… if you are cap strapped finding a rotation player in the draft can be a bigger win but with where we are I’m taking bigger swings.
