2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Honestly, as Jazz fans, you probably want the Spurs to try and do a legit rebuild through the draft, not trade for a star PG or sign one.

the only thing that can slow Wemby down is draft bust.

Dalton Knecht is a god.

I can see the Brent Barry comp.

this is why in the last few games once Sheppard enters the game at the 16 or 17 minute mark of each half, he doesn't ever come out again.

I don't think its too hard to see what he could be. I have said before he could be like TJ McConnell but with a laser for a jumper. That'd be a pretty great.

He plays really within himself a lot. Is that the Kentucky guard thing and there is more? Or is he limited? I don't really have questions on if he "works" I have questions on how well it works of course. I'd be shocked if he wasn't like a plus Tyus Jones level of point guard.

tyus and tre jones - those dudes are my comps for him. he might have a higher ceiling just due to his elite shooting and might be a more dynamic athlete, but the similarities in terms of a guy who plays a measured, mistake free style, size, defensive minded, etc.

edit: just saw the derrick white comparison. i like that too.

I can’t remember what type of defender Bibby was. I think the offensive comp may work.

All I know is Shep will be good and I’d take him somewhere between 4-10 and be happy.

bibby was a soft, pretty bad defender.

Hmm.. top 3 all internationals. Has that ever happened?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I think I like around 11/12 players in the draft (or at least the idea of them). Haven't looked at a few that I will need to. I get why there is a lack of excitement at the top but there are decent prospects available where we'd be picking.

Rob Dillingham is really intriguing.
