2024 NBA Draft Thread - June 26/27

We can just do it here. Everybody post your top 30 and I'll add it up on the 25th.

Top 30 period?

In my opinion, the two guys in this draft that could help immediately are Edey and Bronny. Edey could easily backup Brook and Bronny could entice Lebron to Milwaukee.

I don’t really buy the idea that Lebron is leaving LA regardless of where Bronny goes and definitely don’t buy the idea that he’ll take the minimum to do it.

Yeah or however many you feel like. I'll figure it out. Just don't try to do a mock draft. This is your personal preference.

Brook, Giannis, Lebron, Middleton, Lillard odds on favorite for title and get to play with Bronny and close to Cleveland. Seems like a win all the way around.

I understand the logic. Just don’t think Lebron cares about that logic.

Bronny would be a lottery pick if he was a package deal with Lebron, hard to buy that actually happening.

[jakecronus8]

Winning hasn’t been Lebron’s top priority since his Miami days.

ETA: not really a knock on him. He’s a top 5-10 player ever with tons of accolades and played 20 years. I’d probably do what I could to play with my son too having accomplished just about everything

"His jump shot itself is another weakness. Dunn never warranted respect on the perimeter in college, making just 12 three-pointers on 51 attempts in two seasons. Opponents had no problem sending him to the free-throw line either, as the guard finished his career in Charlottesville a touch under 53 percent on free throws.

Paired with a lacking aggressiveness at times, that low level of efficiency led Dunn to post numerous suspect performances last season — he made one or fewer field goals in six different contests despite playing 20 or more minutes in all of them. Perhaps more worrying, his frailties on offense appeared to worsen as the campaign went on — in Virginia’s final 14 games, Dunn averaged just 5.2 points per game on 10 percent shooting from three-point range and 35.3 percent at the line."

This makes me want them to move up for McCain even more now.

Horst must see something there for them to be able to get a workout scheduled with him.

I thought you were going to say that this makes you want to re-sign M. Beasley even more.

Yes and no. His shooting issues are almost certainly mental - he's said so himself - so in that sense, yeah, it's like a Ben Simmons situation. At the same time, though, Dunn isn't afraid to do the things on offense he knows he can do well, as opposed to Simmons, who at times won't even take a dunk.
