2024 NBA DRAFT THREAD

[nivisi9]

I don't know if I quite understand the Sarr hype though..

you can definitely see the tools and raw ability but he isn't even productive (which is usually important)..

which makes him so convincingly in the 1# pick conversation?

[Thaddy]

It's Walter and Filipowski for me. We need a stretch big and reliable movement shooting. We have enough ball handlers. These guys can fit into immediate roles and grow into bigger roles down the road through active development. They also seem like safe picks.

Poeltl - Filipowski
Barnes
Barrett
Walter - Dick
Quick - Schroder

I would even consider throwing a 1 year inflated deal at Klay Thompson. Bringing in a player that has championship experience and can also be a temporary starter while mentoring our young movement shooters like Walters and Dick could be career altering (in a good way) for these prospects.

[nivisi9]

how good would we be next year if this happened..

-get some lottery luck and select Sarr

-We decide to overpay to bring OG back at 35 mil/yr (he wants to comeback)

-a combination of the pacers pick and our other 2 1st trade up abit for Sheppard

PG- Quickley
SG- Barrett
SF- OG
PF - Barnes
C - Sarr

bench:
Sheppard
Dick
Shroeder?
Brown or whatever we trade him for
Poeltl or whatever traded for
Any remaining prospects we acquire from 1st or trades.
Trent or whatever traded for

That team could be a contender in 2 yrs

[WuTang_CMB]

It's going to suck if we are bottom 7 and enter the lottery losing our pick

Raps are just going to play it out IMO , they will soft tank and if they lose their pick then thats what it is

at least 25' will be a fresh start. Masai gotta hit on one of those 24' picks in either scenario.

I'm all in on Johnny Furphy, haven't seen a single highlight, just sounds like a winner

[Bruin]

Holland is an interesting prospect but I’d steer clear for a combination of reasons.

First, too much overlap with Scottie and his shot still needs work. I also don’t really trust the Ignite (although I think Buzelis will be good).

And I don’t trust Holland’s loyalty and think he’d wanna leave to Dallas the first chance he gets. Him and his family (especially his dad) are big Mavs fans. He also had nearly been committed to UCLA before switching his plan and committing to Texas for more money after using UCLA as a leverage play against Texas. Then when Beard was fired he decommitted and went Gleague (I don’t fault him for that though cause the coach was gone)

you can definitely see the tools and raw ability but he isn't even productive (which is usually important)..

which makes him so convincingly in the 1# pick conversation?

While i agree he hasn't been good enough to warrant an auto 1st pick selections its his player build that is what makes him so loved by scouts....

Its the way the big man is trending in the NBA now days...Lots of teams are going to have these big men who can do alot of different things on the court and most teams want a big like that...

Celtics have Porzingis
Spurs have Wemby
Cavs have Mobley
76ers Have Embiid
Nuggets Have Joker
OKC Have Chet
T-wolves have KAT
Lakers have AD

Id say Sarr fits that player build most franchises look for in a Big man. Anytime a 7 footer who can play like a guard and block shots will be valued higher than a guard who puts up points.

[MoneyBall]

I don't trust these G League prospects.

TBT to Thon Maker lol. I remember he was supposed to be this scary prospect who’d take the league by storm and then everyone quickly realized he sucks. Can’t believe the Bucks still took a shot on him at 10

Yep thats the thing its a gamble...you take a risk on this big build....Cause not all big men are going to be efficient playing like a guard thats why when you see a big thats even capable of doing it they will be drafted high....But me personally i see flashes of a good player and if the Raptors do get lucky and get a top pick i see Masai going with Sarr if hes available cause its the type of player we would need the most...Would it work out who knows.

Well Thon was a special case cause he was old for HS and didn’t even play major HS competition and still wasn’t all that great. On the other hand, we’re seeing Sarr playing against pros

Thon’s stock dropped a lot to the point where the Bucks taking him at 10 was considered a big reach

I want another 6'8 scorer plz who can slot beside RJ & Barnes or a Lively or Turner type of 5

Stay away from Sarrs at the first pick. First pick should at least be producing or their risk is too high. Sarrs would not come close to even Chet in his career, he doesn't have that skill level so yeah, this year's draft is not great. The question is he worth the risk if he falls to 6.

He comes around curls and shoots so fast like Reggie Miller! I like that he can finish driving right and left.

Sarr right now is like French Lively as a prospect.

He’s averaging 19 and 9 (per 36) on 51 FG% (29.5 3P% on decent volume) against pros. I’d consider that producing. You have to remember he’s not even 19 yet. Won’t turn 20 until the very end of his rookie season in the league

You can criticize him for other things but production isn’t really where I’d criticize him

His efficiency on his jumper needs to improve but he’s currently a better shooter than Scottie was as a rookie so he can get where it needs to be. Definitely needs to improve on the FTs at least (61% right now)
