2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[stitches]

I just wish they would give their host more professional sound equipment. I have no idea how much this stuff cost, but I'm pretty sure it's gotten fairly inexpensive to have a quality sound produced podcast nowadays and Locked On still sounds like they are recording in 2015.

To me it's kind of shocking how bad Locke's own sound is for someone whose job it is to sound good and someone who's made a career in radio. I would have guessed he would have that part sorted...

The consensus league wide is there is a drop off after picks 1/3/5/9.

yeah, that's bs (the dropoff from 5 to 9), imo - starting with the twins.

This sort of feels like the year that the Bulls and Pacers traded Jimmy Butler and Paul George. Think there’s going to be some surprise teams and deals that get made this year.

Could someone summarize the mock up to this point?

1. Wemby
2. Scoot
3. Miller
4. Amen
5. Ausar
6. Dick
7. Walker
8. Whitmore
9. Jazz trade 9 for 12+our own 2024 pick.
10. Black
11. Magic trade 11, Chuma Okeke and Bol Bol to NYK for Hartenstein and 2 second round picks. WTF? Like... WHAT THE ACTUAL FFFFFFFFFFF?

The Orlando Magic guy is crazy lmao.

Just traded #11, Bol Bol, and Okeke for Isaiah Hartenstein and 2 second round picks.

I think it’s pretty legit. The only difference is I don’t think there is a drop off at 5. I think 4-9 is pretty fluid.

 

[Eddie Zero]

Not if you think he’s a one dimensional player who chucks **** up and is wildly inefficient with doing so in an all time loaded draft.

Yeah didn't stop Lamelo from going 3rd

You are a ****ing moron who has no clue what he or she is talking about

 

[NUMBERICA]

Indiana should take Hendricks

I can see a better argument for Walker here since they could use the extra stuff that Walker provides and already have a ton of spacing (assuming Walker is there).

Someone should have stepped in Stern style... that is like one of those that should be shut down. Took Dick at #6... guy is horrible.
