2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Yeah true dat. He did play well in the Aussie League too. It requires imagination and there is big risk. But if it is a low cost, then I roll the dice on him. Carter is my first pick and he looks like a sure thing.
He's not draftable at 29 or 32. Maybe someone picks him up if he is willing to be stashed for a franchise.
 
I'm pretty much on the same "tank with Lauri" -train, but I'm also 95% sure we aint gonna get what we want. All signs point towards "improve the roster" -path.
The good news with the improve the roster path is that every other team in the west with the exception of maybe the blazers is also on that path so we could get better and still have a worse record. We can bank on the griz passing us. The news we are hearing about the spurs is they want to add win now pieces so the path to jumping us could be pretty easy with Wemby likely taking a pretty big step and added quality depth around him. All the teams ahead of us in the standings are firmly in win now mode so they will focus on win now pieces this offseason. Injuries always happen which will throw some teams into chaos but even if we add win now talent this offseason we are still probably in that bottom 5 of the west.
 
He's not doing that at the NBA level. IDK why you are getting hung up on these deep sleeper prospects who have very y little potential
I am looking for the next Nikola. Oh this draft is a dud so there is motivation to uncover things where the groupthink would overlook

Jokic? He played in a known league. What you're trying to is find the next Giannis but you're doing for players who don't have anything standout or special about them so in reality you're reaching incredibly hard on players who have ceilings of being NBA journeymen
 
With Chomche I kind of get it because there are at least some raw tools there, but with these Chinese dude it's incredibly ridiculous the things you are sayin, especially given he's already 21.

If you want to hype him up as a guy to put on a 2-way and see how he fares to maybe eventually being a NBA guy, ok, but you're talking like he's some hidden star and that's simply not the case at all even if he maximizes every ounce of potential he has.

I think it takes great determination to leave a team in China building around you and giving you long wealthy contracts to look for a place in the second round or even summer league roster.Cui dared to do that,and it’s worth our expectations.I think a reasonable comp. Is Yi Jianlian who played for the bucks a decade ago
 
Dang, that's super impressive. What is that 92.5% on NBA threes (I take this number from practice and divide by 2, lol, 46%) Quick release too. Yeah two guard. Pair him up with Key and see what happens. I read his scouting report that he has oversized hands. That's a recipe for an ISO game too.

I listened to a podcast where they mentioned Andre Drummond shoots 90% from 3 handles the rock like a guard and looks like a bigger Giannis at summer pick up games.
 
According to Hoopshype, the highest rated prospects the Jazz have worked out so far are Adem Bona and Dillon Jones.

Washington has worked out Clingan and Cody Williams. Reportedly, they'll take whomever is left between Sarr and Risacher. However, they may be investigating trade-back options.
