2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Utah doesn't really have a point guard. We have shooting guards that play that position out of necessity (like George, Sexton, Clarkson). Dunn might be the exception, but honestly he is a solid backup and not really a starting PG on a good team. Castle would probably be starting here by the end of his first season barring trades. I think it is obvious that Clarkson or Sexton will be gone by the trade deadline anyway, preferably JC.

I mean, Keyonte could develop into a PG. When he started at the position for the first stint he was putting an emphasis on classic game manager style. Hardy raves about his pattern recall and how much film he watches.

I dont think if we drafted Castle he would be the clear starting PG if he and Keyonte started. It would be like we have two starting guards and let it play out.
 
What is the track record for guys who publicly try and get to/ avoid certain teams in the draft? Seems like it might be pretty good.
 
After reading that article I may trade up from 29/32 just to get Freeman.

  • High character
  • Overachiever in basically every aspect of his life
  • Best rebounder in the country
  • Wasnt seriously playing basketball til age 19 as a walk on
  • Didnt actually think about the NBA til 2 seasons ago
  • Huge wingspan
  • Late growth spurt that hid his potential
Only real negative is he is 24.

I'm a Castle fan, but it rubs me the wrong way for a guy who has done nothing in the league to be saying this kind of stuff.

On the other hand it shows his confidence, and it gives us a better chance at him.

Ok, I'm all good with it.

I don't mind him trying to steer his destination. It might not work though. Or, a team could agree to play him at the 1 and initiate through the 2 or 3. If I'm the Jazz though, I'm not taking the ball out of Keyonte or Colin's hands for Castle. Probably not for Kris Dunn either, tbh.

It looks like he's trying to get to San Antonio.

I believe there is a pretty good track record for guys who show out in the combine scrimmage. Camara and Porter Jr from last year who well exceeded their draft position.
 
Also, if you watch Freeman's college highlights from this year to the scrimmages, you can tell his shot has gotten noticeably better. Quicker and not as behind his head, more one motiony
