2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

It's fun watching how confidently Castle is shooting the ball in this video. If he can get back that confidence as more of a primary option then he gets scary with his defense as well.

WOW! What a change in the confidence he's shooting with from this video to last year in UConn... If he can get back to that... he might be special.

Confidence is good but the stroke is slow

Sarah Todd mentioned the Jazz interviewed Reed Sheppard, Alex Sarr, Kyshawn George, Isiah Collier, Stephon Castle, Jared McCain, and Cody Williams. She says the Jazz really like George and Sheppard.

Do we really want to put that kind of pressure on Boler?

I'm a buyer but I think we have to get in the 15-20 range for him.

I found this to be interesting. This is a high school scouting report. Obviously 31% isn't that encouraging, but the volume is. I would recommend reading the whole scouting report, a lot of the opinion on him is opposite of what we think of him now.

Castle displays an excellent level of shotmaking from the perimeter, where he shows an incredible level of versatility for his age. Currently shooting 30.8% from 3 point range in his senior season according to Cerebro Sports’ database, he is attempting 11.6 shots from beyond the arc per 36 minutes. Not only the sheer volume, but the level of difficulty of his attempts bode well for his projection as a shooter at the next level.

Jazz reportedly have some interest in Kyshawn. Height, length and body weight are the same as Joe Ingles entering the draft. He's never going to be explosive, but if he adds some strength he's interesting. He's a confident shooter with good balance and some handle to set himself and others up with. He's also a pretty disciplined positional defender. A perimeter with Keyonte, Kyshawn, Brice and Taylor would space the floor and create lanes to attack the cup. Everyone's long, everyone shoots and everyone defends. Put Lauri at the 5, and there's a framework for a versatile offense. From there, if the Jazz can add a star-level wing, they'd start to become competitive.

Jazz reportedly very interested in Reed Sheppard. Someone on here mentioned that they thought Ainge would love Reed.

I really like Dalton Knecht and Tyler Smith for Detroit. I'd think about a trade back if I were the Pistons.

Would you mind saying where she said this about Sheppard and George? I didn't see that after a quick search. Thanks.

Radio interview, it's smoke

I'm sure the Jazz "like" a lot of prospects in the way anyone likes anything. You got to love someone to draft them.
