2023 NBA Draft Thread

I saw on NBADRAFT.NET that the Magic have the 33rd pick. The Spurs are 34th taking Taylor Hendricks out of UCF. I would love to see the Magic take Taylor Hendricks at 33 and keep him in Florida.

We'll probably sell it.

Yeah that has cash considerations/future 2nd round pick written all over it, especially if we get/keep both first round picks.

People are worried about the Bulls getting into the top four of the lottery or getting into the playoffs. That team is all over the place.

Na don’t fret. We want them to keep winning a few so they don’t blow it up. That pick will be nice in the 8-15 range. We want it this year not next. I’m beginning to think we need to go for 2 guards in this draft. Our guard play is that bad.

Scoot and Anthony Black would be a nice haul.

like it....only issue with him for me is that he might be a bit undersized? i've seen scouting reports have him 6'3

Another Cole Anthony ?

I'd be looking at Amen extremely hard even if I had the top pick.

I'd kill for us to get him. Add a 2-way shooter like Hawkins with the Bulls pick and things are looking very very good.

I am convinced regardless of Fultz, Suggs, Anthony that 2 guards in the draft is the way to go unless we win the 1st or 2nd pick and have to get the sloppy seconds of whomever isn't selected first.

I admit I don't really follow the G-League or overseas basketball, but based on the college game so far, I'm kind of underwhelmed by the prospects so far.

My thoughts exactly...History will show me incorrect, but right now, IMO, it's Wemby & Scoot and a big cliff of uncertainty to drive off. I'm all about Scoot...but ORL 23 frp (Top 2 protected) is on the table in a package for a young scoring guard.

That's understandable. There really isn't a Zion or Kyrie right now in the tourney. And the hyped up prospects like Whitehead , Cason, etc have been underwhelming. Yet this is kinda like what happened last tourney and we got Paolo. The player who has the game that like Tatum, can be unlocked only outside college ball.

So we gotta think which of these players would benefit from NBA rules.

100%. Take two swings. Between Wallace, Thompsons, NSJ,Black we should be able to grab 2.

Agreed.
Anthony and Suggs are not the answer.

Keyonte George and Anthony Black.

I like Amen a lot but his shooting is really bad.

Henderson wirh a top pick.
Howard or Dick with the Bulls pick.

[adamy35]

I’d love for Orlando to get Brandon Miller with our first pick and then Brice Sensabaugh with the Bulls pick.

Now that Sensabaugh is getting minutes at OSU, he’s showing how deadly he is from range and scoring in bunches. I think he will move up to top 10 range by the end of the season and he’s a freshman as well.

Slot both of them at SG and have them split time and we have that position covered. Trade some of our big depth for a solid PG and we roll for the playoffs next year.
