2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[Hearsky]

Knecht is a perfect buy for a later pick. Something Miami would do.

Knecht is going to go well before the 15th pick.

Thing that eases some of my fears with Knecht’s age is that he was a late bloomer physically. I believe he had a big growth spurt in college which is some of why he wasnt a one and done

Same as Derrick White

Also, @SoberasHotRod feel free to mute me if you want because you seem to want to argue or disagree with almost everything I post.

I'm not trying to single you out. Obviously there is no tone feature on an online forum for you to understand how I feel. I'm not angry or upset or trying to make you angry or upset. I think it's ok to disagree.

Yeah I would say his range probably starts with Memphis

Yeah, I would agree with this. I think he has a decent chance of being an exception. He put up great numbers last year, but was just at a small school so nobody cared. He followed that up by putting up even better numbers in the SEC. He's definitely a good prospect.

Right, he went juco route. Of course nobody saw him or had interest.

And lets face it. He white.

I loved his highlight tapes and numbers but was a little thrown by his off the dribble shooting. I wouldn't mind him at #8 at all. I did lower him a bit based on those numbers... if that did come around I could see him being a 20 ppg on good efficiency secondary/tertiary type guy.

I would have no problem with him at 8. To be honest the only player that is projected in most top 10's that I would be disappointed in is Clingan. If we want to go with a big then I would prefer Edey over him. Let Edey focus mostly on defense like Clingan and he probably has a similar impact while still being so much better offensively.

I don't mean this in a bad way....but it's hard to overstate just how goofy Cody looks on the court. He's soooo long and skinny. If you told me he just had an 8 inch growth spurt and is still figuring out his body I would believe you. On one hand he looks slow and not explosive, on the other hand he can stay with guys on the perimeter because of his length, he can get to the hoop in very little steps, and he can finish without having to jump high. I think an optimist would see this as an easy area for improvement as he matures.

If dude just had an 8 inch growth spurt, he needs to call a doctor. We've all seen the commercials.

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

Yes
