2024 NBA Draft Thread

[HadAnEffectHere]

Cody had one of the worst jumpshot forms in the NBA and was one of the worst shooters in the NBA.

He'll probably be out of the league before he finishes rebuilding his jumpshot though.

That wouldn't surprise me.

I bet the Jazz front office wishes it had drafted someone like Buzelis instead of Williams.

Who has him #1 overall?

my guy babyjax i think

I did, have him 3rd now on my mock (will update). But I am far from an expert, unless I'm right, then I am the expert (thanks for the shout out, though). Wouldn't be surprised if I end with him 1 on my big board, but he will end top 3 most likely (2 now).

Good call on him. I didn't think he was that good at Miami but you were consistent with him.

Cody Williams was mostly invisible at Colorado at well. Don't draft someone just because their brother is good.

I got just as many very wrong, haha, but I am pleased. FWIW the test I used was ...

Are you 6-8 or taller?
Can you hit threes?
Can you dribble and pass?
Are your movements fluid rather than stiff (i.e., guard like)?

If the answer to all four of those questions are yes, I think you've identified an NBA player. Saddiq Bey was the original reason I had this thought because I thought he absolutely sucked ... but, he is 6-8, can shoot, dribble, and pass, so despite his many deficiencies he is an NBA player.
