2024 NBA Draft Reaction Thread

[The Midnight]

RAPM ranks for the 3 draftees (out of 43 NCAA players):

Cody Williams - 41st
Isaiah Collier - 36th
Kyle Filipowski - 14th

… and we drafted them in the OPPOSITE order.. lol

 

[The Midnight]

Ultimately, this likely comes down to the fact that Kyle is going to come into some money and the family (who went through all of the trouble of helping him build his career) is taking second fiddle to this girl.

Honestly, however, Kyle is going to be at the meagre end of the NBA train, so fighting about HIS money is stupid.

However, fighting about money with family members is an American past-time and has resulted in some of the most ugly things I have ever seen in my life. This is tame in comparison.

Meagre end of the NBA train is still sky high compare to what we mere mortals make though.

But yeah the way to get some of that money isn’t to piss him off even more.. lol.. kinda stupid for the family to do that imo.

Never come between the man and his girl.. lol..

idk, I've liked what I've heard about her defense.

Defense? I thought his family found the hottie to be offensive.

Draft grades are always largely useless at this point, but...

Did not know the Clippers had changed their logo.

Tony said that Williams would have been considered if the Jazz had the #1 pick so can we all agree to stop complaining about the half tank?

**** me wrong thread

I’ll say this, I don’t think the jazz are to blame all that much for the lack of a sufficient tank in year one. They had just traded two all stars and two highest scorers in DM and Bogey. I’m sure they wanted to keep Conley as a veteran leader. Sexton and Markkanen were basically throw-ins to go along with Agbaji, and little did they know that Markkanen would blow up the way he did. But moves should’ve been made last offseason.

2023 was the egregious offense.

This year they got lucky and got their guy, last year they did not get their guy. Don't think the results based analysis changes my thoughts on the "half tank" strategy.
