2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[Handlogten's Heros]

If his name was Smith Tyler in stead of Tyler Smith, he'd be 5 places higher on consensus draft boards.

It just feels like the name of the second tight end that plays at BYU. Not the one that gets the ball... the one that comes in on running plays as an extra lineman.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Let’s not overthink these Kentucky guards. They’re both going to be good in the league. It’s proven at this point.

Also the only guy that can stop a talented Kentucky guard is Coach Cal (Zinggggggggg!)

Who you taking in this scenario at 8?

1. Sarr
2. Risacher
3. Sheppard
4. Topic
5. Dillingham
6. Castle
7. Clingan

Think I go between Holland and Knecht depending on offense or defense priority. Admittedly, looking at it like this, it certainly does look like a really bad draft.

Williams in a heartbeat. Actually, if the Jazz are able to choose between Buzelis and Williams then they're in a really good spot.

Holland, Buzelis and Knecht are the guys... If Holland or Buzelis shoot it I think they could have pretty big upside.

I think if anything it might mean he’s being super underrated.

I think he's a lottery-level talent, offensively as skilled as Jabari Smith. I'm worried that he doesn't always play hard.

Speaking of Buzelis

Buzelis should be able to do everything. Not necessarily at a high level, but he'll check the boxes. He has an ability to process and make decisions at NBA speed that's quite frankly better than most of the Jazz's guys. I can see his appeal as a connector and glue guy for a team with a bunch of guys who mostly want to shoot. He's this year's "canned soup." It's disappointing that his shooting hasn't improved much during the season.

No one is arguing that they aren't good....

Practice highlights against the worst GLeague team are wild

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

So Tyler Smith is the same age, played on the same team, and was much better than Matas this year. Does that mean anything?

Means he isn't trying to do too much like Matas/Holland did all year

Knecht, Collier, Williams, or Edey

Not high on Williams?

I just can't imagine Cody Williams being on the board at #9.
