2024 NBA Draft Thread - June 26/27

[Badgerlander]

Watching him get **** up by anybody who can remotely compete with him on raw talent is a huge bummer.

Thats why givony having Ware and Smith is such a gut punch, because it just feels like such a Horsty move

I don't mind Smith. He competes.

I don’t mind smith either especially the way their mock falls but the two of them together feels like too many developmental guys on our roster especially for a team that hasn’t shown much promise in development. Idk maybe Doc brings someone in this offseason. A shooting coach would be a VERY welcome addition

[Badgerlander]

I thought Dante pulled out and was lobbying for more eligiblity?

I thought he was denied?

With all the talk about Ryan Dunn here, the Bucks better take him.

[Frank Nova]

I saw a Jalen Johnson comp for Ryan Dunn, I’m wondering what the Dunn stans feel about that? Johnson can fill up the score sheet, not sure Dunn is ever able to do that…. Idk how their defense compares but offensively they don’t feel that close to me, idk.

[Badgerlander]

So if Collier somehow slides all the way to us we are taking him right? Haven’t scouted him at all

He'd probably be the top rated guy for me if he makes it to us. I have him around 14 or so I think.

What about Aaron Gordon. How far apart is Dunn to Gordon? Does he lack the handles and playmaking ability or does he have those qualities?

[ReasonablySober]

You better hope we don't draft Dunn. I'll be posting so many CKY clips. Just nonstop.

he can dunk and that's about it

[buckboy]

Dunn would be fine I guess.

Aaron Gordon took 8 years to be good.

Aaron Gordon was good well before that, it just took him 8 years to play next to Nikola Jokic lol.

[ReasonablySober]

Are you contending that they didn't have the 14th ranked schedule? Or that every good player entered the draft?

I'm saying stop giving a **** about his defensive percentage allowed. It doesn't matter at all.

It doesn't matter that he's better defensively at switching than the other centers in the draft? I will continue to say it does.

Are we even talking about the same guy? The 6'9" guy who looks sluggish and slow footed for a PF, much less a center?

[htr]

I haven’t read thru everything but I have one firm point with respect to this draft for us…

AJJ was our non offensive pick guy that is so good at everything else to deserve minutes. I hope he is, but we need more from this draft than a defensive type.

Shannon from Illinois makes a lot of sense for us as does Zach edey. I hope we go that direction with our picks.

He was ok before Denver. I wouldn't say he was good.

Anyway, I'd be fine with Aaron Gordon with the 23rd pick for sure.

Strengths: Dunn is the draft's best defender. He's adept at using his length, explosiveness, mobility and instincts to guard multiple positions and be disruptive on and off the ball.

Weaknesses: He is an interesting litmus test; he has a great deal to prove offensively. He lacks much in the way of ballhandling and shooting ability, making just 12 3-pointers in 65 games and hitting 53% of his career free throw attempts.

The verdict: Dunn had a monster season on the defensive end, shutting down opposing guards, wings and forwards, blocking a massive volume of shots and consistently going out of his area for rebounds. Thanks to his game-changing defensive ability, he should be able to carve out an NBA role if he can become even a mediocre perimeter threat.

So Dunn will either be OG and find a shot or RHJ and end up in Puerto Rico

Win-win IMO.

Where would Jaylin Galloway fall in this year's draft?
