2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[SoberasHotRod]

I went to the Utah State game last night. I'm still on a high/ can't believe the Aggies actually won a tournament game. The Purdue game was before and so all their fans left and we had great seats.

Zach Edey is a freak, but I'll stay in the camp of he's going to struggle in the NBA. His lack of mobility is even more apparent in person. Osobor is really interesting as a prospect. He has the size of a forward, but handles like a guard. If he adds a jump shot, he could be an NBA player.

Oh wow, just checked my bracket and I'm kind of killing it. I picked almost all of the upsets so far.

I don’t see it with Cody Williams. At least not in the top-5.

Draft Edey.

Play Lofton/Edey together in bench units and bring back Memphis era bully ball

I'm quite the opposite

I just keep thinking he will fill out and be more like his brother… but I just don’t think so. Jalen is Jrue and Cody is Justin.

At 9 he could be BPA. At this point I’d rather have Holland and Castle for sure.

Edey is worth a flier in the late first imo. Gonna feel dumb if he is a good nba player… “yeah he’s huge and coordinated and dominated college basketball for years… no **** he’s good”

The other thing is if they actually do make adjustments to the game to help defense it will benefit him I’m guessing.

I'm in like 10,000th place, which doesn't sound great, but with millions of entries is in the 99th percentile.

I'm not dumb enough to feel like a genius or anything, I know how lucky it is. My daughter, who doesn't follow sports at all and picked her winners based on mascots is only a few points behind me. She picked the final score of the championship game 9pts to 5pts.

Virginia vs Virginia in the finals. I’d say that’s still a bit high.

It just shows you how much the game has changed the last 30 years. In 1994 he is a top 5 pick without a doubt.

I wouldn't draft Edey in the first.

I still like him. You have to use A LOT of imagination, but I still think he's one of the few players in the draft to have really high upside.
