2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

I think he would take someone to the woodshed for him though.

I could see the Lakers wanting him. JJ is a really smart dude and probably sees the value in Sexton.

Lakers trade for stars. They arent going to give us a ton for a guy without a name.

Hot Take: If I had to break my small guard rule, I'd take Jared McCain 10/10 times over Dillingham.

Seven NBA Observations on Draft Buzz, JJ Redick, and Trade Season

Draft night is shaping up to be full of surprises. What’s the latest on the lottery? Plus, the Lakers’ to-do list, the Josh Giddey trade, and the Hawks’ dilemma.

Edey getting buzz at 7. I'm going to need some apologies when he goes top 10.

And just FYI, we could trade a player still to Minny for a complete removal of protections on the 2029 which I think long-term is high value smart move. Maybe send them Clarkson for that removal.

And they could use Clarkson in the playoffs.

Yes, let’s make a team who owes us picks better… again.

They also get older and the 2027 and 2029 could be real good when Conley and Clarkson retire. Maybe trade for Naz Reid and give them 2025 back, a swap back and get 2029 removed.

I'm a little worried on the shot. I think he can guard up but won't be as strong as Holiday or Smart... those guys are like strongest guards in the league though. It looked like he stood guys up when they tried to go through him but in the nba that is a different level of dude. I think White/Caruso/Quickley/Brunson all have components I can see.

Agree. Carter won't grow into Smart or Holiday. He's good all-around player though, but I always tend to stay away from draft prospects who look good against younger players.

You are very hot take-y this draft. Skip Bayless would be jealous.

I honestly have no idea why the Spurs wouldnt try this. You have a chance at making the best defense of all time, go for it. Reed Sheppard/Stephon Castle are not special players, Clingan potentially is. Try to change the NBA. I'd go for Edey at 8, but Clingan at 4 is good too.

Sheppard and Castle might very well be the best two players in the draft.

I don’t think Dilly can be a decent defender. That’s a bigger (less-fixable) problem.

Dilly’s got great moves but has nothing to give defensively. When I watched Garland defend against Banchero in the playoffs, Garland looked like a fly defending against a bull. It was comical.

Dejounte Murray isn’t that big of a name. Neither is D’Lo.

After we trade Clarkson my GF will need a new favorite player and I can sell her on the guy who makes youtube yoga videos.

Murray is a former all-star. D'Lo was a mistake.
