2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Krysten Peek (Yahoo Draft Writer) did a radio spot for Utah today. She said she is going to have Salaun at #5 on her next board and she talked to a scout that has him ranked #2.

It looks like teams are all over the map with their player evaluations. There's allegedly a team that has Kel'el Ware at #5 on their board.
 
Locke said the Jazz could have moved up to 5 in last year's draft and he says he think they can get up to 4 in this year's draft.

FWIW, the chatter about a team having Kel'el Ware at #5 on their board is supposedly a team inside the top 10. This is just @bigmike-level rumor material. But if that's the case, then a team drafting inside the top 10, say Charlotte or Portland, could turn to Ware if Clingan is already gone. That would open a door for the Jazz to trade up a few spots and for that team to take Ware at #10. Meanwhile, a week or so ago, Locke said the Jazz should have the opportunity to trade up a few spots they see a guy they really want. It's just noise, but maybe it'll accumulate into something. There'd have to be a consensus that Clingan is going top 5 or so.

There are a bunch of nice targets for teams to aim for at #10--Knecht, Collier, Dillingham, Edey, Ware, Carter, etc. Maybe Holland is there.

If I were Detroit, I'd be taking a hard look at Knecht and Tyler Smith. They'd both fit really well next to Cade, Ausar and Fonz.
 
KOC did a podcast with Givony that dropped today along w/ a Devin Carter interview. Havent listend yet, but will soon.
 
KOC also has Cody Williams going 10 to Utah on his latest mock draft. For whatever reason it's not updated on the site yet.
