2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I’m all for changing your mind on guys. I have moved up Whitmore and Hendricks both a couple of spots from a couple of months ago. That is what the entire draft process is all about. Wasserman said the biggest thing he’s learned is to don’t be afraid to change your mind on guys.

What I’m saying is if you go out on a limb against consensus by a lot then switch up so quickly it’s hard to take you seriously. I have been on the Black in the top-7/8 train for months and have had multiple people laugh and scoff at the idea. I’m glad to see almost everyone is coming around on him.

Similarly with you and Hendricks, KqWIN and Bilal, Bodhi and everyone who is rising, etc.

My colleague, Sir Thomas Bayes, has developed a theorem that may assist us when ascertaining evidence which may sway our views.

Maybe the slow play would’ve been better if Markkanen hadn’t been as good as he was last year. At the least Lauri was a top 15-20 player. Lauri preforming like he did speeds up the rebuild. Now we have to take advantage of all those assets and build the team around Lauri’s time line. We can’t afford to take the next five years to build a good team. We need it now.

For this reason I’d be looking into acquiring more picks in the 5-15 range without giving 9, and 16 away and only because this draft figures to be historically strong.
 
At 28, if I'm looking at shooters to add, between Ben Sheppard and Julian Strawther, it would be a decision.
 
Wow! They won. They are in the finals being lead by 2 18 year olds.

I don't love Collet when he's coaching France but it seems like he's done a good job with this team.

Do you actually think the jazz actions at the trade deadline were those of a team trying to make the playoffs, then when we weren’t losing enough games with a month to go the jazz completely mailed it in when they were still in the running for the play-in. Don’t be an idiot.

We could have done more ala Portland..
