2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[idiot]

What would you all think if we ended up with Buzelis? Seems like he's never talked about here.

I'm kind of intrigued with the archetype but have big concerns that he'll never quite reach expectations.

so are they short changing him, considering if he were taking 2/3 FTs per trip to the line, that number would be closer to 140?

My back of the napkin math would have it at about 108 making his TS% ~54%

Apparently he is the best 1 vs 0 player in the draft, and it shows in his draft rankings. Was horrible in the GLeague, much worse than Holland at an older age, but seems as those everyone is willing to dismiss that because they like what they see in workouts.

If we took him at 10....I wouldn't care. But it would likely require trading up to 5 and I'm not sure that's worth it.

If we took Buzelis it would require me to have a lot of faith in our scouting and development staff. When I watch him, I don't see an NBA player.

It is updated, still Dillingham with this updated note:

At this juncture, Dillingham's landing spots seem to be firming up in the 5-10 range, with Detroit, San Antonio and Utah viewed as suitors. The Pistons have come up more frequently as a team with real interest in Dillingham, whether that's at No. 5, or if Detroit decides to move back.

Huh. That’s actually really interesting. He had been sliding to the mid teens in most other mocks. And Givony always has the best intel based mocks.

Ron Holland's TRUE True Shooting percentage is 53% (GLeague+Showcase).

All my years of studying and work in the field has come down to this moment.

Even absolutely hating this draft, it's hard not to get a bit excited on draft day.

Ready to drink the kool-aid.

Got any rumor for us? I don’t care if you just make it up I’m horny for one.

The best thing about Buzelis is that he does cool dunks.

i think he's never talked about because most don't expect him to last to 10

I would love if Dillingham goes top 9.
