2024 NBA Draft Thread

No surprises here:

I have not been following draft stuff at all but Cody Williams isn't thought to be a top 10 pick?

[Ron Swanson]

If you want the organization to make their risky, "George Hill for the 15th pick and draft Kawhi" move, finding a way to pry the 12th or 13th pick from OKC or Sacramento and drafting Cody Williams is the move you want.

Cam Christie 6'6 PG/SG is the player I won't miss. Triple threat, shoot 3s off the dribble, off picks. Love this kid's size too. He is modern tall PG, a steal , age 19, all fundamentals are there, shooting form, all kinds of modern offensive tools... Work on his strength and he is close to Maxey. (Projected at the 40s is evidence of all the dumb GMs out there and the rigged draft process - that's good for us)

Hint: only net 3s

and Oso Ighodaro 6'11 PF/C ... He is the mobile big athletic big who has a low center of gravity, turns well, knows to pick n roll, a lob threat. If he can hit the 3 at a decent % he has adebayo potential. (Projected at the 30s - we can probably get him with our 2nd)

I will dig down for more talent ... but these two is a must get.. I think our best choice is to trade down #23 and get multiple late 1sts or early 2nds.

Anyone giving Herb Jones vibes?

Throw in our drafting record and yeah we 100% need to trade that pick. Only maybe 5 of these guys tops made significant contributions their rookie year and that was likely on losing teams too.

Yeah, let's trade it in a package for a key guy, or to move up

[BUCKnation]

He probably gets drafted very late but Jamal Shead is basically a Jevon Carter regen

Cam Christie is a clone of his brother Max, who is still intriguing, but hasn't developed in his first 2 years in the league.

Oso will measure around 6'8" or 6'9" and has stone hands. Was embarrassingly bad in the tournament on the big stage.

[Fotis St]

"ShootingtheJ" ... Oso reminds me of Jordan Bell ... He is one of the the few NBA Ready big bodies in this draft class. I prefer Tyler Smith if available

I love Cam Christie ... watched his interview, basketball family ... perfect ... He is 19 and already mastered fundamentals. He has huge potential.

[Bernman]

My knowledge would be all from watching much of the NCAA tourney & some Badger games. But the 2 names I came up w/ - Tristan Da Silva, Kel'el Ware - are coincidentally the same as the "Nerd Sesh" guys when they were doing their outlook for the Bucks, fwiw.

I can't speak to it as I haven't scouted him yet, but Kevin O'Connor's big board has Ryan Dunn's "Shades Of" as Herb Jones and Andre Roberson.

[trwi7]

"ShootingtheJ" ... Oso reminds me of Jordan Bell ... He is one of the the few NBA Ready big bodies in this draft class.

Dude you compared him to played 162 games over 5 years and averaged 12 minutes per game and now, in his prime is playing in China and that's the dude you want to spend our 1st on lmao

Not our 1st , maybe our second... we could trade down #34 for 2 2nds and draft both Christie & Oso while drafting #23 Tyler Smith ... or someone else.

[MickeyDavis]

23 and 34 don't have much value. This isn't the NFL. Not that solid players aren't drafted 23 and later but it's highly unlikely.

Cam has the same fundamentals as his brother, who just averaged 4 ppg as a 2nd year pro.

Your Oso comparison of Jordan Bell is perfect. Bell wasn't good enough for the NBA and it will be the same for Oso.

Tristan da Silva is the guy I keep coming back to. I'd love him on the Bucks, which means the Heat will probably take him ahead of us and turn him into a decent rotation player his rookie year.

Collin Murray-Boyles was intriguing, but I think he's going back to school. He could be a versatile piece for small ball lineups.

[M-C-G]

Pacome Dadiet seems like an interesting prospect in round 2

Carrington, Ware and Da Silva are my top 3 guys for the 23rd pick. Any 1 of the 3 will fill a need and be a great prospect to develop long term.

I had the exact same thought, that he seems like a guy the Heat would acquire - overlooked a little because he didn't come out right away, skilled but more works w/in the team framework, defensively sound, etc.

I do have some hope he could be an offensive creator/core guy if he's simply asked to. He seemed to have some ability to breakdown his opponent, & playmake, but he just wasn't that aggressive. Otherwise he's a role player who could help early.
