2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

I think the most important thing to look for in shooting drills is who shoots close to game speed and who doesn't.

All the bigs who aren't shooters shoot it decently, but it's twice as long to shoot as the guys who are shooters

At least you going to be paying less to your pick.

#10 for #1 saves ATL a lot of money. They will be a tax team if they want to resign Bey!

Oh, so Castle can shoot now? Then why didn't he?

 

[Elizah Huge]

Knecht with a 39 inch vertical and killed the shooting drills

Is the Castle shooting legit? Ugh my feelings are so mercurial. Okay, get me Castle and Edey and a project in this draft.

Do we have the top three picks or something?

That breaks my heart that we don't have it.

There are some issues here with Cody Williams' shooting. He's fine when he gets his legs under his shot, but he has a habit of just pushing the ball with his upper body. He's not elevating much. He also doesn't look like he's used to the distance. He probably needs to step into it more. Seems like he could have put more work in before the Combine.

Me and everyone who is lower on him have been saying this. The shot isn't good at all. He shot well on low volume. He's shooting it slow and poorly. NBA range will be a big adjustment

Holland, Castle and Knecht are having a good Combine. Sheppard too. Maybe Williams does get to #10.

Williams was going to get to 10 before the combine happened lol

He should have come into the Combine with more strength and tightened a few things up. It looks like he's a bit casual. I'd worry a bit about his work ethic.

There's zero way of knowing how individual teams rank the wings. It's fluid

His season ended two months ago... And you and his defenders told us he was doing poorly due to injury. How could he add that much stuff in that short time?

Eh... I don't think there's a consensus. Some of these guys are polarizing -- e.g., Holland, Dillingham, Shep, Buzelis, etc.

We really got to track how many definitive statements EH makes about draft positioning.

Two months of draft prep is enough to work on your body and adjusting to NBA range. Cody has the tools, but needs to show he wants to be an impact player. He needs to go hard in workouts. He comes off a bit casual, just his demeanor.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I mean I've explained it before. He's on a talented roster so he looks to move the ball to the guys who are good shooters or get a better shot at the basket. It is unlikely he is a great shooter but it also COULD have been part of the game plan.

I don't think its a confidence thing solely.

It's enough time to lose some weight. It's not enough time to add strength. That takes a long time, especially when you're as long as Cody
