2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Here are some Gleague Ignite highlights. It's almost shocking how nonchalant Buzelis is on the defensive end.

I think positionability (new word) will be key for Buzelis. If he can play on the wings he will be more successful then if he is just a forward where I think he will struggle.

I don't understand why the Jazz didn't take tank last year for Wembanyama, but instead they are tanking this year.

Risarcher kind of reminds of Otto Porter, a player a really really loved when he was healthy. Maybe not what you have in mind for a top 3 pick, but his contribution to those Wiz teams was underrated. Not sure Risarcher will be the same level of defender, but perhaps a more dynamic offensive player. After being down on him for his pedestrian physical tools and ghost performances, I'm very impressed with his development and production this season.

You know these are highlights of makes....

I wouldn't judge a guys defense off these kinds of videos. Ever since Buzelis has started playing the Ignite have held teams to lower points totals. He looks pretty good from what I've seen. Definitely in play for top 5

I thought Buzelis had a rep as a decent defender coming into the year... is that not a thing. I like him and with guys like him you have to project what they will be like when the body fill out.

Holland has been playing at an elite level the last week or two. 27 ppg in his last 5 games and 43% from three in his last 3 games.

He reminds of a bigger Sexton

You want to get him mismatches on bigger forwards and bigs.

Apparently not that well according to the draft people who watch more closely, but he is supposed to be able to (but people thought Sexton was a great defensive prospect (for a guy his size) coming into the draft)

Locke is really pushing the rebuild now.

Safe to say Utah isn't going to make any win now trades.
