2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Any of those bigs with outstanding playmaking or passing skills?

Passing bigs are becoming more and more relevant imo.. see Jokic, Sabonis..
They are all kind of meh. I have seen some passing from Chomche and he is the youngest age you could be for the draft. If he had a year in college I think he would be in the top ten of this draft. But it may not matter, he may go to school and take himself out of the draft.

What would it take to slightly move from 10 to 7 or 8?

A team wanting to draft Knecht, Sheppard, Holland or Edey and being confident they'll be available at 10. I think the Jazz could move their 2nd round pick or a future 2nd and move up to 9. That may not sound like a big deal, but a bunch of teams are going to want that 9th pick from Memphis. Maybe Detroit or Charlotte would make a trade.

I wouldn't expect the Spurs or Blazers to play ball with us. The Spurs are lined up almost perfectly to draft Topic and a solid wing prospect.

I personally guarantee Sheppard will not be available at 10. There would be a better chance of Jesus Christ himself falling to 10.

The more I think about it the more I really like Reed's fit with Charlotte. He fits well with Lamelo if he is healthy but also gives them a pg safety net which is super important in this league.

Let's say ATL takes Sarr.
Washington takes Clingan (I wouldn't, but maybe they would).
Houston probably takes Risacher as BPA.
Spurs take Topic to be their PGOTF.
Detroit takes Buzelis or Williams probably.
Charlotte takes Castle or Holland probably.
Portland takes Williams, Buzelis, Holland, or maybe Castle. Maybe Portland takes Sheppard?
San Antonio probably takes Salaun, but could take a different wing.
Memphis is shopping their pick. Maybe Reed goes here, but it's not a given.

Incidentally, the best thing that could happen for the Jazz would be if Detroit falls in love with Knecht. Jazz could work a 3-team trade with Detroit and Memphis, where Detroit moves to 9, Memphis to 10 and the Jazz to 5, but the Jazz will need to pay the bill and leave a nice tip.
