2024 NBA Draft Thread

Should we consider Carlton Carrington with the group of pg's who worth a look at #8? Not close to a finish product but his game reassemble andrew nembhard and has potential as a two way pg who is solid across all board

I don't care about the age difference, I'd rather Carter over Castle. Better shooter (though there's some question as to the legitimacy given the lack of track record and middling free throw %), athlete and players bigger, as shown by his superior "event creation" numbers.

He reminds me of George Hill and De'Anthony Melton, an archetype that usually exceeds expectations (albeit alongside a big guard/wing primary ball handler).

The age difference is development that has already happened, and he’s still rated lower. He’s playing against younger less physically developed players. 22/23 year old players are frequently fools gold.

Can someone explain to me why Clingan gets rated above Edey? There’s regular posts about Clingan possibly going top 3 and Edey rarely mentioned even in the lottery. At the combine Edey was bigger, faster, more agile, a better shooter. Plus he dominated their matchup in the NCAA championship.

Who won the game? Also, the NCAA hasn’t outlawed fighting through screens like the NBA, so every pick and roll is not a switch. Clingan plays a smart, sophisticated brand of ball on a team that went back to back. Edey is big.

If you switched Edey and Clingan UConn wins by 25 points and Purdue isn’t even there. Since Ex is the one who responded it makes me even more certain Edey will have the superior career.

To our European friends, what’s the latest on Topic?

I feel like he will get levered up by the media machine the moment he does a workout. Still a LONG way to go before the draft.
