2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

You know there are only 4 spots on Mt. Rushmore, right? So Christian Laetner, Danny Ferry, Shane Battier? Filipowski?

Does Bobby Hurley’s bad car crash keep him off?

Yeah, I think so. Jay Williams' accident too.

As a Sexton guy what do you see the upside I Sheppard being? I find it hard to believe those two could share the court together.

I get BPA, but if Sexton is a 30 MPG guy you are kind of capped out at 20 mpg for as long as you keep Sexton

Been watching highlights and reading about the high projected picks and can't help but think Castle will be one of the best to come out of this draft. Dudes mindset and support is a huge plus.

UConn’s Stephon Castle peaking at right time in March Madness run

Stephon Castle, a top-10 prospect coming out of Covington, Ga., certainly doesn’t have the me-first qualities of a lot of elite prospects.

Draft season will consist of me getting hyped as **** for Castle before he is taken right before our pick.

Then more sadness, and another bad season, but not near bad enough to get Flagg.

Before you get overly excited about Castle, remember he only averaged 11ppg and 3 assist.

Whatever we do we can’t half *** anymore… we need to whole *** something please.

On a championship upperclassmen team as a significant contributor

Yes

I was trying to decide how I would feel if they moved up in order to get Castle (Or whoever 'their guy' is, I guess). And I decided I'd just be happy that they felt strongly enough about something to be proactive and make it happen.

We need a big 6-6 to 6-8 defensive guard with offensive potential next to Keyonte.

Castle is super overrated... definitely no team in the top... 8 should be picking him. There are definitely better players than him... like... French U19 Dante Exum... or wannabe John Stockton... or... the 5th option on mediocre Colorado team... or Canadian Boban...

Grayson Allen has to be on there

Have we all forgotten JJ Redick?

 

[RandyForRubio]

I wish PKM would come back and talk about how ****** Calipari is as a coach.

Feel like Grayson is more hated with the tripping stuff. Also JJ is really well liked currently

JJ is beloved currently, but in college everybody hated him.

Agree on that, who are some that fit that mold? Seems all the prospects either lack a 3 ball or defense, none the complete package yet so it's more gambling on potential. Haven't watched this class hardly or seen him play but I wonder about Kyshawn George, wish he looked faster but looks like a prospect.

He is busy:

For the people with more knowledge on this draft I have a question - is Reed Sheppard any better than Tyler Kolek? I will hang up and listen...

Defensively, Reed is markedly better.
Shooting, probably Reed is better, but they're both good.
Pure PG playmaking, Kolek fits that archetype.
Reed should be the more natural off-ball player.
Reed is also 3 years younger.

If you want a guy to just sit 27 feet out on the perimeter and knock down shots with a quick release to space the floor, George might be as good as anyone in this draft.
