2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I hope you are right since I have a feeling the Jazz will be drafting him.

Let's see where the Jazz end up drafting. I think Black and Wallace are probably both in play. George could be too, but it's a question of what type of PG the Jazz want.

Update on a guy I would like the Jazz to give a free agent deal to Joel Scott of Black Hills State. He's 6'7" 220 lbs averaged 23 points and 9.3 rebounds and ended up being the all time leading scorer in Division 2 history. Shot .400 from three and is from the Denver area. I know D-2 guys generally don't play in the NBA but this kid looks like he would be worthy on a summer league shot. His team just lost by 5 points in the D-2 final four but he had 30 points, 13 boards and 2 blocks in the game.

Please never change Homey.

How about Danny Sprinkle, huh? He’s changing things at MSU!

So... a Redraft of 2020 would look something like this, no?

1 Anthony Edwards
2 Tyrese Haliburton
3 Lamelo Ball
4 Desmond Bane
5 Tyrese Maxey
6 Jaden McDaniels
7 Immanuel Quickley
8 Saddiq Bey
9 Devin Vassell
10 Onyeka Okongwu / Deni Avdija

Sprinkle is getting some Euro guys to Bozeman. They did not embarrass themselves vs Kansas State who won tonight. One of his asst. coaches is Andy Hill who was an assistant with Krysko at U of Utah.

I am probably in the minority but I would take Haliburton over Edwards.

 

[KqWIN]

9 straight points and a steal for Amari Bailey. He's been so good since Jaylen Clark got injured.

 

[KqWIN]

I'd like to see UCLA put Jacquez on Timme. With Adem Bona out it looks like UCLA has walkons as the only other bigs.

 

[default]

Hawkins has the prettiest shot and is probably the best movement shooter in the draft.

I think he looks much shorter than 6’6” and is very thin, but his shot looks great and he is elite at the free throw line.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Jaime Jacquez should absolutely be a first rounder.

This is for everyone who clowned me for saying we should promise Walsh with our 76ers pick

How exactly is this getting back at people that clowned you for this?

 

[Jingled]

After a bit of a slow start Black ended up having a good game.

No question here.

 

[mhindy]

Black's defense is really really good, just nervous he can't dribble and pass well enough to run a team, and can't shoot well enough to play off ball. Obviously a high upside pick if his shot comes around.

 

[KqWIN]

UCLA’s bigs are so bad lol. They got away with it by forcing turnovers in the first have. But now it’s just a slaughter. Nobody to stop Timme or get a rebound.

 

[KqWIN]

That game was crazy. I’m happy Drew Timme has 46 years of eligibility left.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I am probably in the minority but I would take Haliburton over Edwards.

I’m no Anthony Edwards fan (I’m pretty vocal about that) but he was absolutely the best player that year AND I could have taken him #1 overall. With that said, I’d hate to build my team around him.

An incredibly talented ****-head.

1 Anthony Edwards (picked #1)
2 Tyrese Haliburton (picked #12)
3 Lamelo Ball (picked #3)
4 Desmond Bane (picked #30)
5 Tyrese Maxey (picked #21)
6 Jaden McDaniels (picked #28)
7 Immanuel Quickley (picked #25)
8 Saddiq Bey (picked #19)
9 Devin Vassell (picked #11)
10 Onyeka Okongwu (picked #6)
11 Deni Avdija (picked #9)

Of those 11 players, four would be out of reach if the Jazz had the picks they hold this year back then (Edwards, Ball, Okongwu & Avdija). Two would be available with their 11th pick (Haliburton & Vassell). Three would be available with their 17th pick (Maxey, Quickley & Bey) and two would have somehow been available with their 28th pick (McDaniels & Bane).

Every draft pick a littered with guys like this - now the Jazz just have to identify them and draft them when they are on the clock.
