2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Anyone think Cam Spencer has a NBA career? He turned 24 a few days ago. He was proably UConn's 2nd best player this season.

He doesnt have the shooting volume/difficulty of a Merrill, but I think he can work in the NBA. Just a super steady high IQ player who is going to nail open shots.
I wondered that about cam Spencer. Great player to give a 2way too.
 
Big board as for 4/10/24. Probably the hardest one I've ever done and really hard to get past 20 so I'm not even going to try. Really reminded me just how much I hate this draft - can't remember any draft where it was less obvious anyone was worthy of a top 3 pick.

Given that, I've generally erred towards valuing raw physical gifts - size, length, athleticism, et al by position - while bumping up guys with less favorable measurements but a higher floor and degree of confidence they'll be serviceable pros:

1. Sarr
2. Risacher
3. Williams
4. Buzelis
5. Knecht
6. Castle
7. Topic
8. Sheppard
9. Clingan
10. Dillingham
11. Holland
12. Filipowski
13. Shannon
14. Furphy
15. Walter
16. Collier
17. Edey
18. da Silva
19. Carrington
20. Klintman
21. George

Would probably slot Dink Pate in the 10-15 range if he's draft eligible.

Guys interesting for late 1st/early 2nd - DaRon Holmes, Cam Spencer ("Jazz DNA"), Trentyn Flowers, Kel'el Ware

Assuming we draft #8, Castle and Topic top the wish list. Hope this is a draft where we trade up to get "our guy." We've got enough young dudes on the roster.

So assuming we do indeed draft at eight,, I'm not really sold on Ron Holland as projected for us on the draft room board. Castle intrigues me if he's still available as does Clingan. Otherwise, I'd take a flyer on Zach Edy in a heartbeat. I hate to admit it publicly but I'm ready to throw in the towel on Kessler and his quest to become a starting center in the NBA. Although Edy outplayed Clingan in the title game (for the most part), I'd still take Clingan over Edy if both were available. And if we somehow got lucky and got the right ping pong ball, yeah I'd definitely take Sarr.
