2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[Elizah Huge]

Lost and put up stats in the most meaningless games imaginable?

Look what he’s doing on the court. Let’s not pretend that guys like Holland and Buzelis absolutely crushed it in the same setting.

I know he's a year younger...but what exactly has Dink Pate done to potentially be a number one consensus guy? Cool name I guess.

Not sure Dink would go #1, but Shaedon Sharpe recently went #7 based on workouts alone. I guess he had a few practices at UK too, but the game tape was from HS.

I'm down for Dink.

Is his last name Pate, rhymes with mate? Or is it like the food dish, Pâté?

If the ladder, I like him even more.

Yeah, and I have both of those dudes ranked in the mid teens right on the border of the lottery.

Look if @Hearsky 's mom ever offers you Dink Pate she is not talking about an nba draft prospect. You decide if you want to accept or not.

Justin Edwards was a consensus top 5 recruit.

Would have been funny if he went the Ignite route, sucked, and you had a bunch of people arguing he should be a top 5 pick because he is just struggling because he in a pro league.

Skal Labissiere was a #1 or #2 recruit once upon a time.

Bummer.

Dink Mate isn't bad though.

This is just a funky draft. I like Risacher as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't be excited about making him the #1 pick. Topic has been MIA for 2+ months. Sarr will probably go #1 by default. Castle is now being praised for not shooting and not handling the ball much. Throw Dink into the mix and the draft becomes a bit more interesting.

With or without Dink Pate this draft is still trash.

He is intriguing though. Raw, raw, raw but tons of raw ability. He is a very live athlete and plays like a bat out of hell.

Yeah, so just take Edey.

I am not that impressed by Dink, except that he has a cool name. To be fair, it might just be appropriate to ignore GLeague altogether, such a weird environment for them to play in. Scoot was damn impressive his first year in the GLeague bc he was 17....but he didn't improve a ton the next season. It's an interesting question though (which we will never have to answer again), what is the expectation for a top 5 pick in the GLeague when they are 17? When they are 18?

BTW, Shaedon Sharpe is irrelevant. Had he played and stunk it up, he probably wouldn't have been drafted as high. Top prospects rise/fall all the time, not playing is completely different than playing and Dink played 24 MPG. It's just kind of funny that he might suddenly be a #1 kind of prospect bc of his high school rankings. Look at the rankings from 2023.
