2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Look, y'all can like Dillingham, just admit it's in the face of extremely clear historical context and that he has to be an outlier among outliers to succeed in the NBA.

Historically a guard of that stature was Chris Jackson, who changed his name to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (sp?)

So naive it's crazy.

Or you are just pulling your usual hyperbole.

It's quite literally facts and if you have a problem with that you're an emotional baby who cant do proper analysis.

With his lack of shooting his size was important.. he is less.appealing now. Great I am going to hate whoever the Jazz pick. I guess I would just do Edey and call it good and take a super risky prospect like Chomche later on. I know at least situationally he has talent to play in the league.

Castle is about an inch shorter than Kris Dunn. About an inch less in length as well.

Knecht 6'5 w/ a 6'9 wingspan.

Solid but unspectacular. My high end guestimate for him would have been 6'6 with a 6'11 wingspan.

Why didn't he do that between the end of the basketball season and today?

Serious question

Who says he didn't. We have no idea what his weight has been over the last couple years but he looks noticeably bigger than he was a year ago. Cy acting like it is an impossibility to continue adding weight is just a weird hill to die on.

And stop getting butthurt when someone brings up facts regarding that historical context.

But when I bring up the historical context of the French League I’m an idiot who is a xenophobe.

Seeing a lot of people say that Castle's height is an error, but is his standing reach also an error? Both very low.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Anything for Walter yet? Not sure if I missed it.

I continue to want to like Walter.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

AJ Johnson and Ulrich Chomche are playing in the scrimmages.

Yes, if you cant differentiate between the ever changing context of a basketball league and physical measurements you are even dumber than you appear.
