2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[Park Bites]

Here is my Jazz related strategy for the draft right now.

- with limited upside guys, and without huge separation in talent, I'm ok with drafting for need.
- no defensively limited guards.
- we need wings
- no Centers, unless it's Sarr
- ok with older players if we are keeping Lauri

I agree with a lot of this.

As far as centers I am like DaRon Holmes a lot with our late picks.

I would take a center with the late picks. That is where I think you can find some good value late and the opportunity cost is not as high. Not targeting a center but won't shy away from one there.

I think I would prefer to take as many shots on wings or use them to move up.

Fair. Late I just make the best bets possible regardless of position but all ties go to wings.

Chomche and Maluach will be at this year's Hoop Summit. Watching those two practice against each other could be something special.

What if the Hawks offered you the 10th pick?

I’d say yes but I doubt we’d get an offer as good as that.

He's a perfect fit and his ceiling is way higher than 10th pick

You know he might go Ignite

I'm in denial. I think he might be one of the best value picks in the draft.

Chomche/Kessler
Hendricks/Collins
Lauri/?
Sexton/Sensabaugh
Keyonte/Dunn

That's a very intriguing lineup. I am liking Chomche - he could get a lot better. Then find another athletic 2 way player and you got something special. Kessler.and Collins are both backup material so we have have to trade one. It might make sense to get the best possible 2 way athletic center with the highest ceiling in this draft (the free throw percentage is already good, can hit the three, can drive, has great bounce, great wingspan, and good defense the whole package and the youngest in the draft - fantastic for a center and makes Lauri/Hendricks/Chomche all the near same size and switchable).

Prediction: We trade Kessler in the next 6 months. Kessler is still in demand. Weakens the defense in the short term but we add more size to replace him in the long term. John Collins sticks around for two more years.

New Sam Vecenie mock draft just dropped and he said he tried to distill it with his NBA team intel vs what he would do.

1. Risacher
2. Sarr
3. Buzelis
4. Sheppard
5. Topic
6. Castle
7. Williams
8. Holland
9. Dillingham
10. Salaun
11. Clingan
12. Knecht
13. Collier
14. Walter
15. Filipowski

I find it hard to believe the Jazz would draft Dillingham.
