2023 NBA Draft – Thurs, 8PM, June 22

[Kalela]

If the Heat don't take a chance on Cam, I can see them drafting Omax. He is a Miami Heat type of player.

[Hal14]

I wonder why Leonard Miller is not in Bilas best available.

He's underrated with a lot of the so called experts.

According to my board, he's the best available right now.

[zoyathedestroya]

Just basing off purely on their name, I wish the Celtics select Noah Clowney, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, or Kobe Bufkin for their pick.

I want to pair Whitehead with White if that's how we pick.

Player scouting sounds like too much work. This method of selection is so much better.

[Hal14]

If the Heat don't take a chance on Cam, I can see them drafting Omax. He is a Miami Heat type of player.

And they need a PF. They're probably looking at either Prosper or Leonard Miller.

[chrisab123]

Cam still on the board for another 5 minutes until Miami turns in their card

[Shak_Celts]

Why do they highlight “raised by a single mom”? The narrative of the national media is appalling.

they do it even when the dad is there a lot. at times made it seem like tatum's dad was MIA. single doesn't mean the dad's aren't around.

[Hal14]

Good pick for Danny. Hendricks and Keyonte. 2 very good young players.

C Kessler
F Hendricks
F Markannen
G Keyonte

Just need a PG and you've got yourself a stew, baby

Sexton?

They're trying to trade him. But yeah, if he doesn't get traded then he'll be their PG. But I don't love the fit of Sexton + Keyonte..

[Kalela]

If the Heat don't take a chance on Cam, I can see them drafting Omax. He is a Miami Heat type of player.

On a 2nd thought, they will probably draft a big considering their backup to Adebayo is Zeller. lol

I would be curious as to what percent of picks fall into that category.

It should not be a part of the narrative. How many times do you hear about a player raised by 2 great parents or guardians? Or raised by a single dad. It’s a bad look. And I’m not saying you are being argumentative, rather than just raising the question.

Yeah. Miami could go Clowney or Nnaji.

Hearing it might be a knee injury for whitmore. Which is scary if it's a serious knee injury for a kid who's only 18...and a player who relies HEAVY on his athleticism.

Timelord all over again, yikes.

He can take a season off like Embib.

Sure. And that's a chance you take if it's a guy who could be as good as Embiid.

But not a wing who doesn't pass (when you have tatum and brown) who relies heavily on his athleticism..

Tatum wasn't much of a passer in college either.

That is exactly what they are saying.

[Hal14]

Miami, take a really bad player here. Definitely don't take Leonard Miller.

[Higgs Boston]

Hope we trade the pick, I don't trust the FO in the draft with those late rounds.

[Celts17Pride]

Getting closer!!!!


Some options might still be on board i thought would be gone...wooooot...

If the Celtics keep the pick

Only way its traded is to dump salary...and we need cheap locked up players.

You can get as many 2nd picks and vet min that you want

[Celts17Pride]

Bet you the Celtics are not picking for themselves. Desmond Bane all over again

[Hal14]

Tatum wasn't much of a passer in college either.

He got drafted onto a different team.

Our celtics team right now. We have 3 guys (tatum, brown, KP) who can drop 25-30+ points on any given night. And KP and JB aren't good passers. We need guys around them who can create for others and won't be ball hogs - especially with Brogdon still on the team.

Tatum was also a top 3 pick. That's where you draft a star. We're picking 25th - where you draft a role player. Role players can't be ball stoppers.

Not really. Situation, position plays into that also. Like Denver drafting MPJ

[chrisab123]

They do not miss. Whoever they draft will be a beast in that culture.

It’s why I’m not trashing any pick. Any one of these guys could be ours.
