2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[SojoDave]

On media availability interview, Topic said he hopes to be playing by December.

Also Locke's tirades against older prospects is annoying in that he always frames it as they are playing against 18-20 year olds when the reality is that most college players are also older

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Dante was basically being compared to Kobe. He was being billed as a can’t miss prospect.

Wally Szczerbiak? Also, if Chris Mullin would succeed today, why not Knecht who I view as more athletic. Not saying Mullin would be just fine today I don’t know. Also not comparing the two.

Sorry I don't have a life insurance policy so idk about those comps

Sorry I don't have a life insurance policy so idk about those comps

I should’ve been more specific they were comparing his make up and love for basketball and his level of gym rat-ability to Kobe Bryant basically

Kind of surprised Mitchell hasn't signed the extension yet. What domino is he waiting for?

Trading Allen (or Garland) is my guess.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Oof, just realized it doesn't start until 8pm est. How long does the first round usually last? Is it going to be extended this year since they are only doing the first round tonight?

I'm hoping we trade up so I can go to bed early.

God ****ing damn it.

Estimated at 3 hours for day 1

God ****ing damn it.

 

[NUMBERICA]

There is always 30 minutes of dumbass pre draft nonsense too. I just hope they pick a decent draft song.

God ****ing damn it.

Tons of smoke about MEM moving up to #3. This is good news if you want to move up to #5 for Castle/Shep.

Probably 3 hours. Teams have 5 minutes per pick. 150 minutes of actual pick time plus down time

I think the #9 + Smart for #3 makes a lot of sense for both teams.

I’ve cooled on Shep but in a vacuum/BPA argument I still feel he’s the one. Hopefully they can get some good stuff for Sexton at that point?

And after talking with Tony last night... I am not sure we are looking to move Kessler... so Memphis getting Clingan doesn't change that potential deal.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Probably going to wait until Cleveland is picking and then crash the draft interview with whoever they pick.

Donovan is such a ****ing theatre kid.

I'm talking about Castle/Shep being available at 5. Need Clingan to be drafted top 3 to make that happen. Otherwise it will Shep at 3 and Castle at 4.

I won't be able to watch it live tonight, so I went into the guide to record it. ABC and ESPN both show that the draft is from 6-9PM Utah time.

And after talking with Tony last night... I am not sure we are looking to move Kessler... so Memphis getting Clingan doesn't change that potential deal.

It honestly feels like some conversations have occurred VERY recently (in the last couple of days) that have led to this aggressive pivot of signaling.

 

[KqWIN]

At this point, I'm hoping for Devin Carter or Shep. I think Carter is a better prospect than Castle and I would be willing to do a small tradeup to 7/8 to secure him.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Castle has a realistic outcome as Trent Forrest.
