2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I also think we are getting to a point where PG's are going to be a bit more valuable.

A lot of the former top PGs are aging out and what not. When you look around the league PG is getting a bit thin.

I dont think grabbing two at the top of the Jazz's draft is a bad choice. Granted they can both shoot, are good defenders, and can play off each other theoretically.
 
All top 40 PF/C's from tankathon (NCAA only) FG% at the rim:

Made as much as Hendricks attempted. High level of difficulty carrying a tourney team who won the ACC finals. I care about numbers with context and eye contest. This is not the gotcha you think it is.

These numbers just make me a bit lower than Hendricks. He's barely getting any rim attempts while being a 6'9 super athlete in a non-power conference.

I think you are on to something... didn't a gm try that once... what was his name... I Kahnnnnnnnnnnn't think of it right now.

Hendo also plays on the perimeter more because he's a serious threat out there. There was some stat about dunks and 3s with Hendo... too lazy to look it up... vary Lauri like type of stat though.

You take Bufkin/Wallace together you got two dogs who can really pressure ball-handlers. Both are chase down block artist from the guard position. Both rebound their position. Both can play on/off ball effectively. Both can shoot off the catch.

It's not a gotcha, rim finishing and percentages were brought up so why not bring up the numbers?

My actual takeaway is the GG is not the bad guy he's made out to be. Without him, Flip would really be on an island all alone and GG is somewhat there to comfort him. GG is just misunderstood.
