2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

[stitches]

Yes it is. I’ve been beating this drum for awhile and people just get butthurt when I mention it lol.

As someone who doesn't watch GLeague - what is the rule and how does it affect the TS?

Smoke to get Portland to trade up or something?

I think it might be SA that is hot for him. I think him and Wemby are boys.

KOCs podcast with Tom Haberstroh about sons of NBA players was fascinating. Go listen if you can. Will make you want Carter more.

Or Sheppard... he fits the two categories of players that outperform their draft position the most - Kentucky guard and father played in the NBA.

They shoot 1 FT instead of 2 or 3 (it counts for 2 or 3), except in the last 2 minutes I believe. It throws off the calculation because it's the same amount of points but less attempts.

Salaun going to the Hornets would be great as I'm not super high on him and if there is a franchise that can fumble his development it's probably the Hornets so I won't look stupid

Actually 3, his mother was also a D1 athlete

Yeah...he didn't move much for me but I didn't have him in top 3 range. Bumped him a tier down because knee surgeries are not great for guy whose main skill is getting to the rim/finishing at the rim, but for the most part the concerns always existed. Still think he's not a terrible at 10, I can see how it's anticlimactic to draft someone who won't play his first season though.

I really uninspiring draft IMO. I really like Shep, but even then his most likely scenario is just a good player. There were like 6-8 guys in last year's draft that I think would be in the conversation for #1 this year and several that would be no doubt #1. Heck, I think you could make some kind of argument for Hendricks (as a prospect) over Risacher.

I mean aren't the latest projections that he could be back by December?

This brings up another question... do we know what the difference in % is between 1st and 2nd FT attempt? My guess would be that the second one would have higher %...

But and 1s are still one FT so you can't just do math to have a conversion

Literally not possible for me to want him more.
