2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[fishonjazz]

Maybe it's just that time of the year where we are picking apart prospects too much, but I am souring on the idea of trading up for anyone....Cam, Twins, Jarace, Black, Hendricks, I'm fine just taking whoever falls tbh. We take whoever falls out of that group or Bilal/Dick, then take a PG at #16. Feels unsatisfying to take the leftovers at each tier, but that might be how this draft plays out.

I'm kinda with you here.

Here...

1. Spurs - Wemby
2. Hornets - Miller
3. Portland - Scoot
4. Rockets - Anthony Black
5. Jazz(via Detroit trade) - Amen
6. Orlando - Ausar
7. Pacers - Walker
8. Wizards - Hendricks
9. Detroit(via Jazz trade) - Dick
10. Net(via Mavs trade) - Bufkin
11. Orlando - L.Miller
12. OKC - Lively II
13. Raptors - Keyonte George
14. NOP - Wallace
15. Atlanta - Hawkins
16. Detroit(via Jazz trade) - Kris Murray
...
28. Jazz - GG Jackson

Go... comment!

It gives us less chances at getting a quality player in the draft, but i love the swing for the fences attitude. I would totally make that trade (9 and 16 for 5) for Amen, Ausar, or Cam.

I think we should take cam Whitmore at 28 instead of GG since he apparently falls to the second round in this mock

That's what happens when you do a mock in 5 minutes...

Give me Tay, Wallace, GG

If you got all that without trading up, I'm not sure I would trade that haul for Scoot or Miller.

Dream draft: Bilal, Bufkin, Jaquez
Most likely draft: Hendricks, JHS, Sheppard

I personally would be frustrated if we used #9 on Bilal. There are at least a dozen players I'd rather have in this draft that Bilal. I'd even rather have Bufkin that you have at #16.

Assuming we don't trade here. For #9 I'd want whoever falls to us among Ausar, Cam, Hendrix, Walker, Black. For #16 I'm hoping for any of Wallace, George, Bufkin, JHS, Hawkins, or Leonard Miller. For #28, I'm hoping Whitehead falls to there due to two foot surgeries, but that is unlikely and realistically hope for GG, Sasser, Maxwell Lewis, Colby Jones, or Podz. I also want at least one of our first two picks to be a guard.

Mostly realistic wish: #9 Ausar, #16 Wallace or Hawkins, #28 GG

I mean it is Masai… still seems like a lot but Houston sounds like they trying to go full stupid this offseason.

I don't think it's that much. Green and KPJ are big question marks to how quality they are. If I liked Houston surrounding pieces better it would make more sense (assuming the Harden thing is real and your core is Harden/Pascal/Smith/Sengun)

Really need Taylor Midricks to impress teams above Utah so Walker/Black/JHS are the options Ainge has to choose from

I don’t think it’s that much either but Siakam is on an expiring contract. They would need an extension in place first but it’s not crazy to me.
