2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[Handlogten's Heros]

He has a nice shot from the baselines (or at least the shot chart reflects that). Having said that, more of his baskets are assisted than Holland. I think Matas is fine, but Holland has like 10 things I prefer more about him.

Yeah I just think if you took that group and said "2 of these guys are starters and the rest are just rotation players... also two of these guys shoot 38% from three and the rest are sub 35%" I'm guessing the two shooters are the starter level guys. That is a long and complicated way to say "shooting is likely the swing skill with everyone in this group". lol my bad.... but I typed it so now you have to read it.

I would have to balance the likelihood of each guy shooting it well enough with the other things they bring (or don't bring). The reason I skew towards Castle and Holland is defense and passing combo. I think if the shooting does work those two have the highest ceilings.

If draft was tonight my Jazz top 10 board:

1. Sarr
2. Topic (homerun swing pick)
3. Castle
4. Sheppard
5. Knecht
6. Holland
7. Williams
8. Collier
9. Edey
10. Clingan

I legitimately forget that Buzelis and Risacher are different people. They are the big names omitted here, I just have no clue what to do with those dudes. And could not be excited if we drafted one. Maybe they will be awesome.

Do we even know that they are? Have you seen them both in the same place and the same time? I haven't.

Hollands D is theoretical btw

Buzelis is probably this year's "canned soup" prospect. He can process, make reads and move the ball at NBA speed.

And Holland is not Kumingga, he's Corey Brewer

Maybe. Corey Brewer played 800+ NBA games. That would be a good outcome for an 8th pick.

I don’t care who it is if we draft another defensive limited guard. I’ll snap

If we draft Rob Dillingham at 8 we'll all chip in and send you a pound of Pineapple Express.

Some decent takes in this, imo. I'd have Cody Williams several spots higher, but I'm betting on his pre-draft process.

How many of these guys do we need. I don’t care if he’s the greatest offensive player in the world we need to address our defense or we ain’t getting anything accomplished

Where’s the defense going to come from if we keep mindlessly adding all offense no defense? There’s only so much money and spots to go around

Internal improvement and Will going from experiments to what works.

The front office is going to dismember Kessler and create a Frankenstein backcourt guard out of Kessler, Sexton, Dillingham and George and name it George Walker Sexham.
