2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Key
Yongxi
Lauri
Taylor
Chomche

Bring Lofton, Kessler, Sensa off the bench. Yongxi is known to be a defender. Taylor and Chomche would be plus defenders. And Lauri and Key could hold their own. All can shoot, pass and defend. You can laugh, but I think you can have something there until you hit a home run and draft a superstar.

At the very least this team would lose this year but would bounce back the following year as their skills and acclimation develop.

Did Cui Yongxi just have a workout with the Jazz?
As a Chinese fan I really pray for the Jazz to give him a 2 way deal
He is probably our(Chinese basketball)star of hope and could bring a lot of attention to the Jazz

That's the cooper flagg team for sure
 
Trust me he’s gonna be special

He gives me Tech play hard style/swiss army knife vibe. Has size, bounce, passer, defense, shooter. Only 20 and probably can be picked up undrafted. Wingspan seems average but he meets the Hardy demand of being highly skilled with hands. Repurpose him, instead of a small forward and move him to the 2 guard spot and I think you have a long-term player. I think he could play well with Key. Totally overlooked.

He has something that even the hyped players don't have. He is well balanced, coachable and I think he plays out of position. His turnovers are high but a lot of young players have that problem. But his shooting has improved to a nice consistency and is great defender. He could be a long-term NBA player. That is a huge win in this draft.
 
wow so rare to find a guy who does so detailed research. thx a lot!
by the way do you know if there is any clips of his workout?

I found this scouting report, and it does look like he worked out for the Jazz. I'm intrigued.

thanks a lot
looks really better than the reports in CBA
 
He's a better athlete than Kyshawn and all his shot could get there. It's already pretty good. And he's a good defender for a skinny guy. I think racism against Chinese players is a hurdle. Some teams can't imagine him being any good.

I mean, Chinese players don't have experience in high level competition, that's why they don't get the respect. They mostly stay in China and play lackluster competition.

His shooting, some of his dribble drive, and defense has the elements of a 2 guard. He plays the 3 in China because he is so dang big compared to others. With an open court he can be even better. Low risk selection but with an upside of a Dalton Knecht who can play defense. He is young so he can still level up.

He is not the super star but a plugin guy like Tech who does everything just right but does it harder better and more efficient and doesn't hurt you going the other way. Great guy to have to fill out the team.

His body and movement patterns look like juzang at first glance. He is better prospect then most of two guys we have had

Jumps as high as Pacome Diadet but a much better shooter. Super skinny but a good defender already. If he can muscle up then he gets really good. 6'6.5 in socks. That's a fantastic size for a guard with his spiderman like hands I think he can play. You have to overlook the wingspan a bit. I am not sure what it is but I read 6'9.

What does Cody Williams do that is better than this guy? Only wingspan (and maybe Mary Jane tolerance is better) everything else this guy matches and is a better defender and his work hard switch is always on.

If Jazz sign him as undrafted FA and make all three picks and bring Procida over
they won't have enough roster spots
