2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[Handlogten's Heros]

I would take a chance with Dariq at 28 or move up a few spots to draft him. If he is healthy he is a late lotto talent. I just worry about guys who have feet problems at an early age.

Is Embiid the last Jones fracture guy… can’t think of many. Don’t think it’s a death sentence like it used to be.

Dariq was one of my guys from day one. I would be looking at him at 16. I love the way he moves. It ALL comes to the medicals on his foot.

What can medicals actually tell us? How much can a health professional glean from some MRIs?

I think Sidy is the safest bet of the French guys, maybe not the highest upside, but I definitely think he's an NBA player. Like if he was eligible last year, some team would have picked him up out of the Gleage

The fact that he is being mocked in the 2nd round in most drafts is crazy to me.

that would depend on whether Dariq has given permission for team doctors to talk to his doctor. That kind of thing. If he is not allowing his personal info to be shared that will come across as suspicious. If my doctor can talk to a doctor that performed the surgery that would tell you a lot.

I really want to go all in on trading up with Detroit. Offer #9 ,#28 and 2 future firsts for #5.

Cam Whitmore is a missing piece to this team.

I think this is a ridiculous overpay and wouldn't even dream of offering it.

Everyone just needs to get prepared for us passing on Hendricks for NSJ and passing on Cason at 16 for GG. Once you come to terms with that any other outcome looks great.

I'd be down with GG at 16, ngl.

Just wait until he is spray painting his name on the temple after his workout. . .

Ozzy pissed on the Alamo and was banned from playing in the city for a decade. When he finally was allowed to play again, he absolutely ROCKED the town.

Sometimes a bit of antisocial behavior leads to life's most meaningful moments.

Well, that would change the draft board for a lot of folks.

I didn't say it would happen lol I think many are in play for him it's just other harder to find archetypes are filling the charts.
I think he was far less impressive in college than he was looking to be going in and that didn't help his stock early on. But at this time, the shot selection issues he had are minimal. The on or off ball tools are pretty high level stuff. Has the tools to be a pretty significant scoring threat even if he is not a main ballhandler point guard for whomever picks him. Any combo with a 6th man floor with superstar guard ceiling is worth it 8-10
