2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

I'm wondering if there will be a Lively-like player in this draft who rockets up the board and is a huge surprise. It'd be nice if one went top-9 so someone could perhaps fall to us.

I think Holland could be there at 10 and there's a chance someone will fall like Knecht or less likely Dillingham.

It's going to be very interesting to see what Ainge does. I trust in him and expect him to have a plan for whatever happens.

Knecht would be a great pick for Houston or Memphis. I could see San Antonio taking him as well, as they're reportedly trying to accelerate their timeline.

Who’s the 4th?

The three this year are better prospects than Coulibaly anyways.

I like Coulibaly as much or more than any prospect in this draft.

He should be able to do more or less what Robert Williams does.

You forgot get hurt all the time

Okay, well minus that part.

TJ Salauni sandwich looks like will be the guy at 10.

Castle won't get past Charlotte. That is my prediction and I'm going to stick with it.

That’s a great spot for him and probably where I would mock him atm…but I think Sheppard, Clingan, Holland, and Buzelis could also be options there.

He's got a big body and he plays hard. He's got some tools. There's a bit of touch and a bit of passing, but it doesn't looks like he'll build his game around it. Honestly, I was hoping he'd be a bit more fluid and coordinated. I wanted to see a young Alonzo Mourning, and he....isn't.

His body is fine, but it wasn't anything crazy. I also hate bugs like him who pop instead of roll.

I read 76% for his free throw rate which matches Castle but he doesn't have a hitch in his shot and the ball spins appropiately and his arms and hands are set pretty good in a good pocket. Being that he is young there is a chance he reaches another level when he doesn't have to think too much on offense.

Link?

FWIW, everything on RealGM has him at 9/27 in the last three years. He was 3/4 this year though which is where the 75% number may have come from.

4/8 in scrimmages at the combine, which may be significant considering the tiny sample size.

Saw it on Twitter so....if I can find it again, I will post it.

I could see the Jazz make that move for Filipowski or Ware if one of them is there. I just don't think the Jazz are happy with Kessler and Collins at the 5. Another possibility would be Carrington, or if someone like Devin Carter slips. I think if the Jazz want to buy back into this draft they should be able to. Both AJ Johnson and Nikola Djurisic look interesting. There are several other guys in the early 2nd worth picking up -- Dillon Jones, Dadiet, Tyson, etc.

I know this draft is weak at the top whats it like late first round?

There's just no way he shot 75% from what I saw at the combine. His form was rough and the ball came out choppy, and forces too much arc on it.
