2024 NBA Draft Thread

Thats why SA would trade up to pick 1 with ATL in this scenario to get Reed..

You like Reed over Sarr there?

Really hope this latest ESPN mock saying the Hawks have their eyes on Risacher is just a really convincing bluff by Atlanta to extract maximum value in a trade down scenario, and that their real target all along is Clingan.

it sounds odd to trade for another FRP, when the draft is allegedly weak. on the other hand, this is the reason why the picks might be available at a reasonable price.
let's assume either 21, 22, 24 might be available for SRPs.
the appeal of a pick in that region is, that it might work as a tailhook for that player who, for whatever reason, falls out of the lottery. that's where you luck into the Tyrese Maxey's of the draft.
that guy might be Walter in this draft. or Topic. even Dillingham. Carrington. Carter, da Silva, Knecht, because of their age. the list is not complete. lot's of scenarios come to mind.
and if there isn't this steal, you can still trade the pick, some team will call during the five minutes.

Right now the draft looks pretty deep. It's not great at top. Some drafts are basically over before the lottery is even done and this looks like it could go for a while.

Crazy how over rated Sheppard is

When Cam Spencer will give you the same as Reed and he's a second round pick

would be another reason to go for a pick in the low 20s.
maybe it's a bit like 2020 without Ant. (who wasn't a sure thing back then as well, with the weak shooting and the TOs)
a lot of quality in the lower half of 1st round. Spurs would be pretty happy to come out with a Maxey, McDaniels or Quickley from this draft.

[Mr. Body]

Players like McCain, Furphy, Kyshawn George, Filipowski, Missi, Kolek, Tyler Smith, etc., could tumble into the 20s. I'm not sure how great any of them will be, but they're fairly promising.

I'm starting to think this is way too much analysis. Let's just go all the way back to the basics and put one of the bands back together again.

4- Reed Sheppard
8 - Robert Dillingham
35 - Justin Edwards
48 - Antonio Reeves

4/8 - Donovan Clingan/Stephon Castle
35 - Cam Spencer
48 - Tristan Newton

Put them all in the starting lineup with Wemby.

Done.

Move them out in shifts offense-defense like in hockey.

BTW, the TLDR...

Buzelis and Risacher grade outside the first round.

Salaun and Williams grade as value second round or undrafted picks.
