What's new

2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Alright, who do you realistically want to get with this new, ****** Timberwolves pick? Assume Wemby, Scoot, Miller, Thompsons, Whitmore, Walker, Hendricks, Wallace, Dick, and Black are off the board.

I'm going Bufkin (assuming the Jazz didn't grab another guard with their pick). Keyonte George would also be tempting there. I also cannot be entirely talked out of taking a flier on GG with all of the above off the board. I also like Hawkins but his game is rather unidimensional.
Hawkins if he’s there… I think George and Hawkins are likely gone. Fine with Bufkin there too.

Jazz might consider going guard and grab Wallace and then look at a wing in Hawkins, Jett or someone like that at 16. It’s not ideal but there is usually someone that unexpectedly slides and there will be trade up scenarios.
 
Consolation of getting 16 instead of 13 is that we are taking Hawkins now which im thrilled about. Booker it

I think Dick, Black, Hawkins, Keyonte, Wallace and GG are likely taken in the 10 - 15 range. At 16, I think we're looking at Cissoko, Hood-Schifino, Bufkin, etc.

Don't sleep on Hood-Schifino if the Jazz think they can improve his shooting and athleticism. He's big, he's got some touch, and he's got real potential as a distributor.
 
At #9, I think the Jazz would be looking at Gradey Dick. Taylor Hendricks probably goes in the top 8, Cason's going to measure out small, and Anthony Black isn't a convincing shooter.

At #16, the Jazz would be looking at Keyonte George, JHS, Brice Sensabaugh, Rayan Rupert and Sidy Cissoko. Wallace, Black, Hawkins and GG are probably gone.

Jazz can be aggressive in pursuing trades, but they need to find a willing partner.
At 16 I'd take a gamble on the three Frenchmen Rupert/Bilal/Sidy.

So has anyone here mentioned Maxwell Lewis? I’m scratching my head as to why he couldn’t go higher.

Great length. Nice looking shot. Can create and score off the dribble.
No love for Maxwell? Nice! I’m hyped to be the first Maxwell homer here. I think he’s gonna be great.
