2023 NBA Draft

[MemphisX]

What will Black look like with even more spacing from Smith.

[buzzkilloton]

I'm getting bull on Black but need to see more. Love the great size high IQ combo on a ball handler. Hes more athletic then advertised. I'm still not sold on the 3ball but if thats gonna stay in the high 30s hes a tantalizing prospect.

[baldur]

[EMG518]

Whose his best comp? Duncan Robinson?

Grady Dick's shot seems to be translating.

Ya that shot is high and quick, he's had no problem at all getting it off in college and wont have an issue in the pros either. Legit high level sharp shooter with good size.

Klay Thompson closer.

It’s clear he can shoot over anyone. Do you think he’s a lotto pick?

100%. I personally have him top 10. With these guys there is kind of the thought process of is he just a straight up catch and shoot guy? If so you can find quality guys like that for cheap (Grayson Allen, Max Strus and so on), or can they take the next step like what weve seen from Bane this year. I think he is big enough, mobile enough and crafty enough to be more than just a catch and shoot guy. So ya I got him in my top 10.

Who do you think was a better prospect - Luke Kennard or Dick? I don’t think he has the creativity Kennard had.

Dick is more mobile than Luke, bigger than Luke and has much better shot variety than Luke has. Luke is as good of a pure shooter as youll get, but he kind of has that set shot. Very rarely does he shoot on the move and stuff. Gradey can get his shot off at pretty much any angle, doesnt need to be set like Luke does.

I do agree that Luke has better creativity and a stiffer handle than Gradey, but whether its because he just doesnt have the mobility or what, he isnt asked to use it anymore. His last year in Detroit he used it (averaged over 4 assists). But ya I give the edge to Gradey pretty easily because of the combination of size/mobility/shot variety that he has over Luke.

who doesn't love Gradey Dick?

[babyjax13]

I think there will be several guys who opt to stay an additional year because of how strong this draft class is. Guys who might slip to the second round but would be first round picks in most other drafts.

yea, agreed, looks like a stupid deep class and there are a bunch of guys that are gonna fly under the radar b/c of it and will probably stay back.

[clyde21]

i will keep pounding the table that Lamont Butler is a sleeper

[clyde21]

Amari Bailey got going tonight, not a huge fan but he does some things really well

Bailey is definitely not my cup of tea either.

Julian Phillips turn for a breakout game

who doesn't love Gradey Dick?

Too many inappropriate things can be said using his name.

I'm waiting for the poll that asks if you like him.
