Topic is a nice pick. If he didn’t tear his acl he probably goes top 5

If his 3pt shot comes around he will be really nice. His high FT% makes me optimistic for that to improve.

If he goes somewhere and basically sits for a year and works on his jumper while rehabbing, it wouldn’t be the worst thing for him IMO

same reason I didnt draft Garland in 2019 with the 4th pick...but he turned out to be a good player...

If he can stay healthy I can see a realistic “Tony Parker” comp. Seems to have a special talent of getting into the paint at will.

With the #12 pick in the 2024 BAF draft, the Houston Rockets select:

Spoiler:

Cody Williams F 19 Colorado 6-7 Freshman USA

The Oklahoma City Thunder are now on the clock.

Cody Williams has the potential to become a high level role player. Very EFF...good bloodlines.

Was very surprised he fell to me so I had to grab him.

He can learn under B.Ingram for 2 years than take over his spot.

Injuries really derailed him in the second half of the season. It was between him and Buzelis for me, but I swung for the fences.

TRANSACTION

The Memphis Grizzlies have waived Kenrich Williams.

[DerrickNoah]

Ironically, I also drafted Cody Williams with the 12th pick, in my other league, yesterday. Potential is the key word. Long. Shoots the 3. Efficient scoring at the rim. Only 19. His brother was on no one’s radar until almost age 21.

[KnicksGadfly]

Okay, so I gotta explain my reasoning for my pick at 9. So I was looking at my team and I said, I want a FORMIDABLE frontcourt.

So then I thought about Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry.

Zach...Eddy

Zach Eddy...

Zach Edey...

[KnicksGadfly]

Submitted my pick...let's get this rolling.

I got pick 31 coming up. Hoping to move up. I still have HOF PF Brandon Clarke, if anyone wants him.

[Im Coming Home]

I'm busy the next twoish hours unfortunately and I gotta see how the next few picks go before I put my pick at 15. But I should get it on by 11:30pm or so if I end up on the clock.

[KnicksGadfly]

Why not mess up some of these deals, I could use Powell

Don't you dare! I will be extremely pissed off if you do that!

**** YOUUUUUUU.

I will rage so hard if you claim him!

With the #13 pick in the 2024 BAF draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder select:

Spoiler:

Devin Carter G 22 Providence 6-2 Junior USA

The Memphis Grizzlies are now on the clock.

[Strick]

Good pick OKC. I like his game a lot

[SOUL]

I was going to potentially take him at 7 if I stayed there. Think he won't fail. He's a bit older but will be a great starter and his ceiling is higher than people think too, imo. Even if it's not high he's still a solid starter regardless.

[DOT]

Carter was someone I was considering too. I like him a lot.
