2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

The main thing that has me feeling Collier > Castle (though Im not completely there yet) is that his shot just looks better to me. He's also way more confident in his shot. Part of that may just be the fact that one is on a Final Four caliber team and the other would be lucky to make the NIT, but it's a thing.

Yeah, I'm more confident in Collier's offense, but way more confident in Castle's defense.
 
The Givony hit job on Collier kinda worked on me. The defense is my biggest concern. We just need guys that defend so desperately that I’d be pretty unexcited if we took Collier over Castle.
 
I guess the big question on Collier for me is how athletic is he actually? I dont think I've ever seen him dunk in traffic. Can he move his feet on defense? Sometimes it's really hard to tell in college because of the lack of spacing/movement. I do love his burst. For a guy his size, he is able to get pretty great speed burst. That combined with his size/strength, getting into the paint and drawing fouls should be a strength at the NBA level.

Also, I am seeing wildly conflicting WS measurements. I've seen 6'11 and 6'4, so I guess there is no actual hard data out there.

But I do love his passing. I think his passing would be great in Utah. He's a risky passer, but he wants to be a passer. He has some natural vision on drive and kick that would work well with Lauri. I was hard on him early because of all the TO's, but I think a lot of that is on USC having a bad team.
 
KOC is milking the mock draft exposure today lmao.

Castle #1. Jazz take CMB at 9.

Devin Carter #5. Clingan #6. Just a lot of wild stuff.
 
Seems like KOC has fully bought into the CMB lovefest. His little blurbs are overwhelmingly positive with the only negative being the lack of jumper and that he is a tough fit.

If you read KOC's blurbs on Jakobe Walter in the draft guide you might change your tune then.
