2023 NBA Draft Thread

This is by FAR MY MOST FUN DRAFT EVER with players I truly love

Last post here of the day, but I was surprised they uploaded him due to not being sure he was that good. This is I believe the 1st ever d1 Mongolian b-baller ever. I have NEVER had so many players that I truly like in one draft. This guys passes are on par with Melo. I love his game

I am truly impressed. He is SUUUUPER fun and plays on the same team as Toumauri Camara.

These are 3 players that I have grown to like. I do not have them as selections (mainly due to the draft being fairly deep) but I do hope they end up in charlotte somehow from a fans perspective and maybe even able to contribute. They are all very intriguing. The first for his size and passing ability. The 2nd for his all around play for his size. And the 3rd for his bulldog style and ability to provide multiple position play. Two others not posted are Will Richard and Mustapha Amzil.

Taran Armstrong - Probably my favorite of the 3 here. (mainly because I love flashy guards) He has great size at 6'6 pg. Good passer, and has an IT factor. I question his lack of real competition and cross court passes, but I am a fan of his style of play. Could be a hidden gem.

Henri Veesaar - Plays for Arizona right now with Ker Krissa and a few other international prospects. This guy reminds me a
bit of Dirk. Has a lot of potential. He can even run an occasional fast break at nearly 7 feet.

Baylor Scheierman - This guy reminds me of Luka for some reason. He has similar size and style. Could give us 4 positions
maybe even 5 with small ball. 6'7 PG.

I used to like Scoot. He became popular and then I abandon the guy lol. I want no parts of popular players... :nonono:

But on the good side I see my guy MoJave King was the recipient of at least 3 of those assist.

So many players I <3 in this draft.

These are super low info guesses, but Cam Whitmore, GG Jackson, and Amen Thompson, might be some of the main guys in contention to go after Wemby/Scoot.

Whitmore seems interesting for this team.

Reading Scoot always reminds me of South Park

Victor, Scoot, Amen. Lot of good names at the top of the draft this year

Denver is tied for 3rd/4th best record right now. Long way to go, but its not looking great for that pick so far.

Tied for 2nd in the West.

Jokic alone is good enough to drag them to 45 wins. Murray + Porter gives them a fairly decent "big 3". Dumbest trade we've ever made.

Lots of good wings, lots of quality role players for the 2nd round (incl. some bigs more useful than Plumlee). Knowing some guys have not even started their season (like Whitehead, one that i would like to watch as he would be my target right now for Charlotte).
K. George has started the season nicely too. But i would look at 2 ways sg/sf for now.

Don't understand why we didn't tell Detroit to go jump if they don't pony up some value for the pick. A Kupcake special.

Call it the LUCK OF THE IRISH or the luck of the HORNETS but I might have accidentally
stubled upon two GEMS. I was looking for highlights of Brandon Miller, Dontae Russo-Nance and KJ Simpson JR
and stumbled upon 2 nortre dame studs.

JJ Starling Ices - Freshmen. I love the way this guy attacks the basket. Reminds me of Jan Vide.
He has great size at 6'4 and has a smooth vibe about him. I think this guy could enter 1st round consideration. He is a value pick imo.

Trey Wertz - He is a guy I knew about but overlooked. He is a Senior but I think he has so much to offer. Notre Dame is gonna be a team to scout on.

I love the name Zhuric Phelps. He is only listed at 6'3 but for some reason he APPEARS bigger. He is only a sophmore. Seems savvy and like he knows he owns the court. Unlike years past I am only posting players I <3 and I just keep finding them without even looking.

His stats don't show it yet, but Tyrese Proctor is going to be a very solid nba player

Kid is smooth and definitely passes the eye test. Hope he sticks around at duke for another year or two.

They used to consider me bizare on this board.
I'm cool with being bizare,
but he is Trevon Brazile, Lawwwwwwwwwwwwwd hammeyyyyyyyyyyy.

Also

Noah Carter - I have become a HUUUUUGE fan of his. He reminds me of Barkley a bit. He might be my favorite player
at the moment if thats possible considering I have so many this year. I also like AJ storr.
