2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

I actually think the depth of this draft is its biggest strength. Also 1-10 not having a ton of separation can be a good thing for us too.

Yep. The depth of this draft is solid and the guys that will be around at 9 would be in the conversation for 9 in almost any draft.

He gets hacked constantly

Yes he’s been fouled a lot but a couple times they called fouls that weren’t.

21-11-3-2 at half time for Edey. Beast.

Age. He's been on the radar since his freshman year and is known for being inconsistent. Guys like that don't go lottery.

He does have a serious issue with turnovers

Ok just got done watching Creighton vs Oregon. I really like all 3 of the players on Creighton. Alexander, schierman and Kalbrenner.

Why is Cody Williams not starting for Colorado? I see him very high on mock drafts... weird.

Not only is he not starting, he became their 5th option when he plays. Everything they run is for their upperclassmen-- da Silva, Simpson and Lampkin. Marquette did a good job defending today, so Williams got to take some initiative on some offensive possessions, but he was out for a month or so and never really re-integrated. It'll be interesting to see what this does to his draft stock. It looks like he was just starting to round into shape today. His best film is from December.

There are about seven guys right now that I feel okay with--Risacher, Sarr, Topic, Sheppard, Holland, Willams and Buzelis, but like last year the Jazz are probably going to draft 9th and will have to take what's left.

To me Cody Williams best case is Nic Batum and his worst case is Jarrett Culver

Yeah, I like him more than that, though I tend to rate Batum more highly than many. Williams' ability to handle and drive with a low center of gravity and finish with touch is attractive for a 6'8" guy. The NCAA isn't going to do him justice. I don't think he falls out of the top 8. He needs to improve his athleticism.

I didn't watch Filipowski against the Catamounts of Vermont, but is there a profound reason why he didn't score a bucket in 37 minutes? I think he's a real consideration for the Jazz at #9 if they're not sold on Walter or Castle.

Dont think he has much touch at all and his handle is mediocre at best.

My hot take is Jared McCain a better shooter than Sheppard.
