2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I agree. I know GG is young and has great potential, but investing in big men with feet issues make me nervous.
Sit this one out grandpa
Translation from French, "According to @Barlowe500, GG Jackson's stock is rising. Seven teams, including five in the lottery, have requested to see him workout." I'd expect that UTA, OKC, TOR and NOL would work him out at some point. Wouldn't be surprised if the 5th team is Orlando.

3 point shooting is obviously a concern for Scoot, but I also expected him to be more prolific at the rim. All the talk about him being a crazy work ethic guy who is optimizing his game for the NBA is great, but the other side of the coin is that if he's putting in all that work it hasn't amounted to much.....yet anyways.
I still like Scoot a lot. After the games against Wemby I thought he was a #1 level prospect for sure. Don't think I have him rated as highly anymore. Still a top 3/5 prospect in normal drafts, but I do not think there are two #1 guys in this years draft and I could see arguments for Miller or even Amen over Scoot. He's a better prospect than Ivey last year.

I’m not usually so qualitatively minded in assessments, but sometimes the stats need to take a backseat. This game is one of the one times.

Who has a foot issue? GG? Or you mean, Dariq Whitehead?

Shooting and one of the things I've noticed is he is really right hand dominant in the paint... I wonder if finishing on the left side with the right hand hurts him at the rim a bit. I'm not terribly concerned about his shooting as he has a good base to work from.
I honestly haven't watched a ton of Scoot, which is why I don't have too strong of an opinion on Scoot vs Miller/Amen/Cam, but these details do matter quite a bit. He could be like Mitchell and just be amazing at using his right and in any and all situations haha.
