2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Okay so my things I look for in a clip. Lightness on his feet, quick hips, speed, bounce, length. He as all that at a high level. Does he have touch? Does he have ability for defense? Is he competitive and coachable? If he does then he can blossom into a very good player. If he has PG skills then I would be tempted to trade (reluctantly) Keyonte George to acquire him. He could be a better long-term prospect.

No need or desire to trade Keyonte for him. The sample sizes are small from the NBL, but I could see him rise in draft discussions. There could eventually be some debate between him and Jakobe Walter, if you think Walter is going to be passive and inconsistent.

The thing that jumps out about Johnson is his speed getting downhill on drives. The way the Jazz have been using their guards to attack seams that could be appealing.

Serious question is he better than Duncan Robinson? Or what does he do better than Duncan Robinson?

He is on a completely different level than Robinson athletically.

Let’s say ORL wants Knecht badly, would you trade #8 for Black?

There getting to be WAY to any players I am liking at the end of the draft.

Let’s say ORL wants Knecht badly, would you trade #8 for Black?

I wouldn’t. Shooting is premium, the fact knecht is decent in other areas as well makes me want to add him more than Black.

They drove the car off the lot so need something more. I like Black but I think I’d rather have Castle… if we are desperate for a big playmaking guard that can’t shoot.

Kencht reminds me of Doncic throwing his weight around getting to his spots. Granted it’s college defenders, not sure if he can overpower defenders in the nba or not time will tell.

I'm a sucker for a beautiful jump shot. Kenect's shot is a thing of beauty. He has tremendous range. I want him.

I would. Pretty easy call for me too.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

I would. Pretty easy call for me too.

Ok, I thought about this and should clarify. If it was simply Knecht for Black I would take Black. If it's #8 for Black then it would depend on who's still on the board.

Also, it looks like the draft lottery is at 3pm est. I said something different earlier and wanted to correct it.

I don’t understand this to be honest. Black as a prospect last year is better than Castle this year.
