2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

The improvement from last year to this year for Ware is pretty impressive. He is still only 19 and can be a little gangly with his movements but I think that can be easily refined. They have him listed at 242 pounds but I'm having a hard time buying that. He looks closer to 230 pounds to me but that is an improvement over last year when he looked super skinny.

 
It has been a little while since we have talked about Isaiah Collier but since coming back from injury he has looked great and cut back on his turnovers.

This draft has a few older guys that I think could carve out nice roles. Knecht is the obvious and we have talked a little about Kolek but Terrance Shannon and Kevin McCullar both look like players that can provide quality minutes.

I see the appeal with Kyshawn George. Good shooting + ball skills at 6’8. Has decent stocks too. His lack of explosion is jarring though.

Maybe he can be a Joe Ingles type. I have him around 15 on my draft board though so I think we will have better options.

He’s definitely working on the finger roll game haha. I had a similar thought when looking at his goofy, ground bound off the dribble game.

His rim finishing is poor, a lot of those shots are self created….but still a big concern.

The lack of burst is a problem. The hope would be that he adds strength and can be like a Kyle Anderson-with-a-jumpshot. I do also think NBA spacing will help him. A lot of the teams that Miami faces seem to sit back in a zone, and there isn't much space for guards like him to operate. He's developing some craft to compensate, but the ability (or lack of ability) to separate is the main thing to watch with George.
 
This is from earlier in the week. I like that he's able to shoot off a few dribbles. That makes him more than a spot-up guy. But he's going to have to figure out what his strategy is going to be on drives. If he can't get to the rim, he needs to take a short pull-up, plan to use a floater from 5-feet or find ways to use the glass. Again, think Kyle Anderson.

in a stronger draft, he's well outside the top 10 imo, simply due to his lack of size and he hasn't shown a lot of playmaking chops (though, i like his playmaking and how it will project at the next level) like say trae young who would be a nice comp in terms of a small scoring guard. in this draft though, i think he has a shot at top 5. probably goes before Sheppard. dillingham would immediately be one of the top 5 quickest/fastest guys in the league.

He isn't huge, but he is listed as 6'3" (per Tankathon but slightly shorter on some sites) and he has certainly been trying to bulk up this year. 1709310579356.png

I’m 41. I played a rec league game where I looked more explosive at the rim. He’s a good late first guy based on my YouTube observations.
