2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

While I do think Cody has some slashing/scoring potential, I'm not sure there is a wing in the NBA who has ever had such low REB/AST/BLK/STL. Can anyone think of one?

I came up with Booker, but that's it.

The Draft lottery is 10 days away on May 12th (Mother's Day) .

Dear NBA, my Mom has asked for a top 4 pick for the Jazz for mother's day. Please do not disappoint her. Please also note that this will be her requested mother's day gift for 2025 and 2026. TIA.

How did this happen. I am angry. Can't wait for the side eye I get as I wait for us to get the 9th pick on THAT day.


Booo NBA schedulers.

Probably the one time where there is an advantage to being on EST vs PST. I believe the lottery starts at 8pm my time, which should be after any mother's day dinner/festivities, I should be in the clear.

oh its at 5 pm... I'm good. My wife will already be super disappointed and then over it by then. Once they upset you just live your best life.
 
Random stray thought. Outside of Sarr you could tell me we drafted any prospect and I wouldn't be able to tell you with 100% certainty we moved up into the top 4. Its a weird one.

It would obviously be great to move up in the draft, but if you only get to move up in one draft, this might be the worst one ever. The whole top 10 or so is very flat.
 
I am not sure Reed Sheppard is where I want Jazz to go. But I am super intrigued to see how things go. Is he Payton Pritchard? Or is closers to Seth Curry? Or maybe Steph if everything breaks just right.

On Cody Williams, it was interesting to me at the end of the first tourney game they used him to break the press against 6'3"ish guards. I wonder if he didn't get iso chances because they had in order ball-dominate score guard, super senior forward and a burly post option. Oh and he got hurt during the season.
 
It seems like every top prospect has some huge red flag. Locke was talking about how Castle, Buzelis, and Holland are some of the worst shooters he's tracked over the last 5 years and that basically nobody with their shooting profile has done much in the league.

You pick Cody and think you can go point guard less (I count KG as a combo guard). He and KG can handle the press and KG and Sensa can pass as well. I think he is a do it all 2 guard and was misused as a wing - that is known to happen, players change positions and flourish in the NBA.
 
Alright my big board is taking shape and I'm starting to see groups/tiers forming.

My top 4:
1. Sarr
2. Williams
3. Risacher
4. Castle

Defensively limited guards who I think will be really good, but hope the Jazz don't draft:

5. Dillingham
6. Shep
7. McCain
8. Topic

Guys who can do some good things and are still young:

9. Clingan
10. Walter
11. Holland
12. Buzelis
13. Collier

Old guys that dominated the NCAA:
14. Knecht
15. Carter
16. Edey

The rest of my board is much less clear, but there are a lot of other guys I like as well, just harder to rank them.
