2024 NBA Draft Thread

Shannon was the guy I watched who most indicated he has NBA star ability, but didn't realize his age, & it's partly going to come down to how much we want to sell our soul or actually believe him. Ruben Patterson was here, & some defended him.

As for the combine game, it's worth checking out. You got some late 1st early 2nd types (Watkins, Chomche) that could move up to our range w/ a strong performance. It's where we identified Donte. I'm interested to see how Spencer looks up against athletes.

Shannon feels like he"s Norm Powell if he keeps his head on straight. That'd be pretty sweet if you can get a guy like that in the 2nd round, but he can also Bones Hyland himself and it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

David Jones for Memphis reminds me a ton of Michael Redd.

Kyshawn George feels like a Horst type of pick and I'm basing that only on the fact that he has big hair, and all the guy's Horst has drafted over the years that have big hair.

Hair ye, hair ye! By proclamation of his excellence Jon Horst, the Milwaukee Bucks select... Kyshawn "King" George.

On second thought, Hair ye is too close to Chair Yi for my liking. :-?

Oso measured as I expected. His standing reach is shorter than Marjon, so Oso is definitely not a center.

DaRon Holmes measured at only 6'8 3/4", but his 9' standing reach is tollerable center length combined with his mobility.

Find a way to trade up and get Cody Williams. He’s gonna be the next in the Kawhi/Jalen Williams mold and people will wonder 10-years from now how on earth he wasn’t a Top-5 pick.

DX turning into the Bronny James propaganda machine on Twitter is funny.

Agreed. Was super impressed with his game in the NCAA tournament. Must run in the family.

Buy a late 2nd, draft Quenten Post, and sign him to a 2 way. Great length, decent agility, and can really shoot the 3. He's older, but centers develop later

Hollinger's top 20. Kinda further illustrating how weird this draft class is, he doesn't even have Sarr in his top tier of prospects. He has Givony's #1, Risacher, at #13 on his big board and Sarr, Givony's #2, at #5. Hollinger's #1 is Ron Holland, who is at #10 on Givony's big board.

Is the search function on the board working correctly? The first guy I'm sorta interested in (Knecht) this draft season hasn't even been brought up?

He's generally considered a lottery pick, so out of our current draft range. He also just wasn't really a known guy until this season, so between those factors and the general lack of interest in this year's draft, yeah, wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't been discussed.

Looks like it, too.

Stephon Castle would be unreal at the 2 for us.
Any trades to get in to the top 5

Was Castle's height an error during the combine? I saw on twitter that people were saying he measured in at 6'2 and his listed height is 6'6. That's gotta be a mix up.

Yeah, looks like it was an error, and his listed numbers right now are Devin Carter’s.
