2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[Handlogten's Heros]

Oof someone gonna really have to talk me into Risacher if this is the case.

So this draft is kinda unique in that there aren't guys I'm in love with but there also aren't guys I hate. Like I don't hate Clingan but I wouldn't be super excited about taking that direction. With most of these guys if you squint you can see it. So that's good right?... Right?!?!?!

Risacher is a big wing with some athleticism that looks like he can shoot (indicators are a little mixed but I think its fair to think he will be a plus shooter). Whoever the #1 pick is is likely to disappoint based on the history of #1 picks but i don't see a lot of guys that I think are super busts.

Wing with solid size, good looking shot, all around IQ, and probably the best defensive wing in the lottery

Just started studying the prospects and Dalton Knecht really sticks out to me. I want him!!

Defense is a calling card?

Okay, I'm in

So you are okay with fact he was so much older than his competitors

He’s only 1 year and 7 months older than Brandon Miller.

Dalton is old AF. We actually went to HS together that's how old he is.

Still like him but may have him more in the 10-12 range.

The advantage of drafting Dalton is that he is more of a finished player and you won't have to send him to the g league for half the season.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Than Brandon Miller is today?

So 2 years and 7 months older than when Brandon Miller was drafted, that's a very significant difference that you just tried to play off as minimal.

Dalton is so old he cites Seinfeld as his favorite TV show

I didn't have much time, but found this article which basically shows that there is a big drop off with guys drafted over 21 years old. There are always exceptions, and Dalton has a decent case to be an exception, but I think you have to consider his age a huge risk.
