2023 NBA Draft Thread

Never paid that much attention to it, if I am being honest. lol

Lol. He was a good defender in high school. Got to College and just got very lazy on that end (maybe bcos of the heavy usage on offense). Has the tools to be decent though.

 

[Gray Matter]

Right. I recall something like that.

And I agree that his decision-making is poor. But I don't think that should affect the pure evaluation of upside. That's where a lot of people go wrong. They can see the potential, especially offensively.

While I acknowledge GG’s potential (and there’s a lot there)

I just don’t feel confident at all he will realize that potential

Don’t see this comparison at all. GG is more offensively skilled than Sekou. Bilal is more of the Sekou archetype.

@thefrenchwood sorry we keep taking shots at your son.

No no I know I wasn’t comparing games

I was comparing the potential not being realized

@#1hiphopjunki3

Not sure if theres any truth to this but theres been some smoke. How would you feel about swapping Keldon/ (preferably)Vassell for 6 and potentially additional assets(Okeke/Anthony/Bol/protected frp). Id almost be willing to trade both of our lottery picks for Vassell if thats what it took. Hes a perfect fit for our roster.

[A.F.R.I.C.A]

Looks like most final mocks have Amen as a lock to go to the Rockets at 4. Blacks floor is looking like the 8th pick. Cam sliding out the top 5 maybe even gets to 8 or 9.

I see it looking like

1. Wemby

2. Miller/Scoot

3. Miller/Scoot/Amen(sleeper)

4.Amen

5.Ausar/Walker/Hendricks

6.Ausar/Black/Hendricks

7. Walker/Whitmore/Hendricks

8.Black/Walker/Whitmore

9.Whitmore/Coulibaly/Bufkin

10.Lively

I have been pro Jett most of this draft cycle. The defense is rough, but i dont think it's a lost cause.
