2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Kind reminder that Brice Sensabaugh is 3 years younger than Dalton Knecht. Sensabaugh also projects as an equal or better shooter than Knecht coming out of college.

Not saying the Jazz can't have both, but I'm not sure Knecht gives the Jazz a whole lot they don't already have.

I made a post awhile back making a comparison of their production....it's actually pretty close. Brice was a beast in college, he fell because of his health. I think Knecht plays more of pro-style game....but it's a good reminder that scoring in the NBA is a different beast. I would have high confidence in Knecht becoming a good shooter in the NBA, but I'm not sure about his game beyond that. I'd have him last out of the 4 guys you mentioned earlier.

There might be an argument that Knecht is a 2 and Brice is a 3, but Brice's playmaking potential might make him the more interesting prospect.

Also from an article I read, can't recall form whom, it sounds like Holland is more of a game player and not a guy who really locks in during practice.

This is a concept I was thinking about earlier. With where he’s at, he’s got to learn to become a gym rat or else all that game intensity will mean nothing (or worse).

All that being said, he’s got the tools and the motor. One of the better high-potential but kinda raw prospects I can think of for that reason.

I recently had gone back to listen to the No Ceilings guys for their 2023 and 2024 Nike Hoops Summit recaps. In 2024, they were saying how refreshing it was (compared to the 2023 group) that the 2024 group took practice and defense totally seriously. They didn't name names, but in the 2023 recap, it was clear that Holland was one (maybe the main one) who was more or less blowing off the practices and that his motor only showed up when the game lights turned on.

Keep him away from Miami. If Pat gets him in the culture he becomes a monster.
 
If there is a Jaden McDaniels in this draft I think it’s Holland. When Jaden was coming into the league he was seen as high potential guy because of shot making ability, but he fell because he was so bad at it and had some maturity issues.

As with Jaden, I don’t think the volume scoring will amount to anything for Holland. But if you can channel that crazy/motor correctly you may come away with a really good defense. Holland will also need to find a way to survive on offense, but I don’t mind betting on physical tools + a little crazy.

A team with great culture like MIA would be ok this guy like white on rice. What does it say about a team that doesn’t think they can help him?
 
If what is being said about Holland and practice is true it makes a lot of sense why Holland can't shoot. Shooting is improved with proper repetition.
