2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I keep watching Cason, and I just don't think he's all that special at the next level. First of all, he's likely going to measure out around 6'2" w/o shoes and with a 6'6" wingspan. He's not an overwhelming athlete. He doesn't show much change of speed or direction. His shooting projects to be pretty average, maybe slightly above. His reads and timing are pretty basic at this stage. He defends the ball. He's cagey and he plays hard. I'm not sure he should play on the ball full time.

With Cason, you're betting that his defensive disruptiveness is going to translate to NBA speed and spacing, and maybe you're believing that UK made him sacrifice some of his game. He'll be a solid enough player. He'll be rotational. He doesn't scream top-10 pick for me.

If we look just at the offensive side, Kobe Bufkin should be equally as good a prospect, or a bit better, imo.

right on lol Wallace is severely overrated imo. if he was not happy there, and his game was being dumbed down, fine I will eat crow if he proves me wrong. But as is, there is not enough evidence toi suggest he is even a point guard in the same way many struggle to say Sexton is one. Fans of him jump all over any scrutiny of his defense but I don't see it transfer much at all, when what it is he is doing is only based on mismatches against smallish guards he gets gifted to defend. He is never going to be the guy you put on the best offensive player on the other team, never.
I am not sold on Bufkin either, outside of a poor man's Tre Mann with a very similar slight build. I mean at that point if you are drafting a smallish guard I am taking NSJ

Welp, we're back to Gradey Dick, Cason Wallace or Keyonte George. Enjoy! Maybe the league will reward Utah for being plucky all season. The Spurs were egregious.

Wallace, Black, Hendricks... or whoever falls. I'm good with any of them. I don't embrace that idea... I make love to it.

It might be nuts but I feel pretty solid at pg with Dunn/THT/Rookie X sprinkle in some Sexton for flavor. We will be fine I think.

THT's below average efficiency is really damaging. He needs to get better or at least average in that area.

He probably will get better. And because he is so good attacking the rim he will get to the line a lot which makes up for some of the inefficiency

I have a lot more faith in Wallace developing into a good 3PT shooter than Black. That along with Wallace’s defense has Wallace ranked higher than Black on my personal big board.

I seriously doubt it. Maybe 7 or 8 though.

we are locked in a 9 before the lottery in my estimation.
Even if the Wizards lose today they are still at 8. Also we can't fall to 10 before the lottery even if we win or Mavs lose today since they own the tie breaker.
Nevermind sorry lol Whitmore aint falling to 6
