2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

What would it take to move up for Sheppard?

Probably need to get up to 4 or 5. Jazz would give up one of their young vets, plus #10 and possibly another pick. It depends on Detroit and San Antonio and what the market looks like. Trading with Detroit might be doable.

You have a source on that? Last I heard, the Jazz liked him and didn't think he'd last until 10.

Again, "like" does not mean draft at 10 or that they are the most liked player

Vecenie did a new mock.

Cody, Klintman, and Ware

I was super high on Klintman last year mostly due to his U19 play for Sweden but he really hasn't shown he's that guy outside of that. I wouldn't mind him at 29, but passing on Pacome for him would make me pretty upset. Triply so for Ware

Vecenie reasoning on all the Jazz picks are that Ainge has expressed interest in length. So doesn't sound too informed outside of that

Also if you think I'm a Chomche hater, Sam Vecenie makes me look like a Stan. Not in his mock draft and pretty sure he's like outside his top 80 on his big board.

There is also significant expectation league-wide that Toronto could command a serious overnight offer for its No. 31 pick from a team looking to jump to the front of Thursday’s line and select its top remaining player. Essentially, no team in that range could offer players and their representation anything resembling a guarantee that they’d be standing pat.

Interesting note from Vecenie. Utah will be #2 so they will have a lot of time to field offers.

ALso, Jack Gohkle looks like he could be related to Matt Harpring.

Vecenie said this about Holland — His range is seen as quite wide right now, especially because league sources were not particularly impressed by his recent pro day in southern California. He’ll need to perform well in his individual workouts.

I’m not a big Holland guy but there are tons that have him in their top-5.

KOC having Ware at 9 and Vecenie having him 32 is hilarious. That’s a really wide range there.

Vecenie has Flip at 15 and KOC 31
