2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

JC is an afterthought but just another thing you have to deal with before he can get on the floor. Agree on Topic but the wingspan thing I did contend with folks that thought it was real. I think it matters but understand your point. I think at some point the draft becomes more about what you can do or project to be able to do and less about the flaws. Anyone wringing their hands at spending a mid first on either may have lost the narrative imo.

I just think it’s odd that Topic is getting every part of his game/profile put under a microscope now when it was an afterthought a few weeks ago. I found myself lower on him than consensus before, and now I guess I’m relatively high on him?

To me he was always a guy where if he did have a wingspan, it didn’t matter much because it wasn’t affecting things on the court. And I also think it should have no bearing on things that are irrelevant to wingspan in the first place.

On Dillingham (and every prospect really)….I think it will just work out if he’s good enough. Like as much as I hated and was confused by the way we treated Taylor, I don’t think it’s too crippling that he didn’t get much of a chance. I think you do need to be concerned with the pathway to playing time to some extent…but I just think at #10 we shouldn’t get too ahead of ourselves.

Maybe a better example of this is Jarace and I guess we’ll see how his development goes. That guy looked amazing but had zero opportunity.

At #10 in this draft and our roster…I still don’t think there is much of a reason to preclude us from drafting any player. I do think your realistic approach of seeing players with realistic outcomes (i.e Dilly being a microwave scorer) should be talked about more than the edge case ceiling/floor outlook.

He doesn’t ever say “NBA sources tell us.” How can he be anything other than a hack. Shout out to real insider, Monty.

Don't even know think he's trying to be a fake insider. If you you read his feed he said says what he wants to happen then he starts putting out rumors that support what he wants. Think he just tries and tweet things into existence.
