2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[SoberasHotRod]

If Bufkin was a freshman (he is freshman aged) would we hesitate to put him next to Black/Wallace?

I’m still hesitant to put him with them, but I can’t put my finger on why.

I don't think you can ignore the advantage of playing in college last year vs High School, so it's not just about age. I also think that Bufkin is good at everything, but not great at anything except maybe rim finishing, where I doubt he is as successful in the NBA. His role in the NBA is also a little murkier.

All that said, I think he is right there and wouldn't be crazy to rank him as high or higher than those guys.

Please stop trying to make Bilal at 9 happen… it’s not happening.

Then why are you worried about it?

Shams must be thrilled.

Do we really want Kobe at 9?

Shams must be thrilled.

I got a feeling it gets wild… Woj and shams might be breaking trades all night.

I agree. I think there's going to be a ton of **** going down and I cannot wait.

I assume when he's wearing #3 he's playing in the French Jr. League and when he is wearing #0 he's in the senior league?

Man that Jr. League looks pretty bad, like worse than OTE bad.

Of course it's worse than OTE. OTE is some of the highest ranked amateurs in the USA. These are random French kids who are OK at basketball.

I think I would rank the leagues that the draft prospects played in as:
Gleague>French pro league>power 5 conference>mid major conference>>>>>>OTE>>>French Jr. League

Feels like my men’s rec E league should be in there somewhere.

Leonard Miller is easily the most awkward interview I have ever heard.
