2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Anti Black fans may hate it, but all signs point to Black being highly valued over Cam, Jarace and others. Let it sink in now and process it. If Ainge loves him then maybe it will be fine.

It’s a smokescreen to hide our Thompson love.

Fire your gut.

My balls tell me that's a great pick... so Cy's gut and my balls have confirmed its going to be okay.

31 out of the 93 he took. Not that small. 14 out of the 28 he made were from NBA range.

Because he was likely more open. Easy to understand.

Or just random variance in a smallish sample.

Even in your analogy, you like one car more than the rest, it's just the extra cost that gives you pause.

Exactly right. They extra cost could be the difference in having what is needed to trade for Luka or something. If the jazz like one guy a little more than another but the guy they like a little more costs a first round pick (the value of firsts seems to have increased since we made our big trades as well) then I would rather keep the first round pick and take the guy we really like, just really like a little less than the most costly guy.

I think the Jazz would take Bilal over Hendricks. He's more athletic, more versatile offensively, longer and younger. Just more upside. But they'd have to believe his shooting will come along.

More chaos! Am I right Ellis?

If he says there are 9 guys at the 9 spot, then one way to think about it is, that the 1st tier is 3 guys and the second tier is 9 more. The Jazz would likely value the 12th spot too. Hello OKC trade?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I don’t know why but just taking Hendricks at 9 is a little underwhelming… can’t exactly pinpoint why as he’s 8th on my big board but I just have higher aspirations.

You'll get excited if it happens. He's awesome.

Top 4 seems locked in place....5-9 seems like a tier. I don't think the DET deal is a huge cost or anything.....but is it really worth it to get to #5 and get the first choice of the tier? I'm not even sure who we'd be trading up for or who I'd want to trade up for. Do not feel strongly enough about Walker, Hendricks, Black, Thompson, or Whitmore.

that's why you would take bilal over hendricks.
