2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Where does Holland end up in ESPN's mock?

13

 

[Elizah Huge]

Out of the pool of guys we'd be choosing from, I'd probably rank them like this:

Carter
Holland
Topic
Salaun
Dillingham

Devin Carter has been a big riser for me. There's a chance he can't shoot, which is troubling for a combo guard without much playmaking, but he does so many other things well.

The crazy part is I would almost reverse the order you have here.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yeah but why would MEM not just take Edey at 9 .. lol ..

They may value defense more than Edey gravity

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Putting intel together, a rough outline would be:

No chance at falling to 10:
Risacher
Sarr
Sheppard
Castle
Clingan

Likely not falling to 10:
Knecht
Matas

Rumored to go higher than 10:
Cody Williams

If we rule out the guys above , looks like we'll be drafting from:
Holland
Topic
Carter
Dillingham
Salaun

This seems to be the consensus, though there's a rumor that Carter will go inside the top 10. It's not a loud, persistent rumor, but may be enough to put Carter in the same category as Williams.

No. 8 could be a debate between Carter and Topic for the Spurs. Spurs could take Castle as a wing at #4 and go guard at #8. Maybe Dillingham sneaks in that conversation, but he's largely seen as more of a scorer than playmaker and the Spurs obviously want a complement for Wemby.

What if topic and Williams are there at 10. Who do we take?

 

[NUMBERICA]

So why doesn't he shoot it better from 3 then?

I just don't like drafting a guy based off of "what if".

No 19 year old anywhere is a finished product.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I've had Topic as the most likely high-impact player in the draft for most of the season. But I don't like the ACL and wonder if his unusual body type and movement will make him injury-prone.

What if topic and Williams are there at 10. Who do we take?

David Locke has been signaling for Williams, if that means anything.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I keep seeing mocks where Filipowski falls to the late 20s. If I were the Jazz, I'd be interested in picking him up.

 

[brooklynese]

Rockets expected to shop #3

 

[brooklynese]

Would love to trade Walker for 9, draft Edey at 9, grab Carrington at 10 (they would be a great pairing)

Agreed.
Big fan of Bub.
If no Shep this would be exciting.

I think DA would choose Williams in that scenario.
