2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[Handlogten's Heros]

Wow France could have the #1 pick two years in a row
They could have 6 or 7 players drafted this year
Would they have a legit shot at the Olympic gold this year
Especially since Olympics will be in France

Maybe 3 years in a row.

I'm interested. How is his defense?

Gets lost at times, nothing to write home about. Needs coaching

This guy does a great job with his prospect videos.

Yeah, this young dude is legit!

New ESPN mock has Topic falling to the Jazz


Lines up with what I've been hearing on various podcast of sources draft guys. Topic has a wider range of opinions from teams than most realize from him being highly mocked for so long.

It also mentions we have interest in Topic, Holland, Williams, and Walter specifically.

Williams has drawn strong interest from teams in the top 10, including Charlotte, San Antonio and Utah. Another viable landing spot would be Portland, where his size and defensive upside make for an appealing fit alongside the Trail Blazers'

Blurr from ESPN on Cody. Had him mocked at 14

I'm not a fan of Topic, but if he fell to 10, I could get excited about his creation and upside.

Bit surprised to see Walter still in ESPNs lottery mock. Seems like his HS rep and measurements are keeping him fairly high.

Also funny to see him listed as being on Utah's radar at 10. The Jazz have to be the top school for Baylor players.

DX also had Justin Edwards and Cam Christie to Utah at 29/32. I'm sure that will make sip happy. No one else, but he will be happy.

Love Christie but not a fan of Edwards at 29.

He’s not as fluid as I was hoping, but he’s big, he plays hard and tries to make the right play. I think he’ll play in the league, but he needs a solid year or two of development and it’s not clear if he’ll ever be a starter.

I think he’s a better prospect than Kabengele a few years back, if that’s worth anything.

I think he grows another two inches. Also, I can imagine that with his weaknesses that he becomes functionally competitive. He won't out wiggle the competition but he will be good enough to drive. He has a lot of needed skills (defense, shooting, passing) for a 5 out big man, even a 4.

One guy who could offer nice value later in the draft is Izan Almansa. His combination of size and athleticism are similar to a young Joaquim Noah. He has a pretty big physical presence, runs the floor well, goes hard after rebounds and could develop in a few different ways. He's still 18.

In the late 2nd, why not?
