2023 NBA Draft Thread

[AaronB]

Miller’s ceiling Paul George/ Scottie Pippen hybrid. I wish he was younger and I would be all in. Grady Dick had a good all around game vs a 16 seed today.

1 year make that much of a difference?

He will be 21yrs of age when he plays in the league no?

With that said, I don't mind having a somewhat "mature" rookie for us. It would just coincide with our team going forward. Better to have a 20-21 yr old rookie that can contribute to our play-in/playoff aspirations next season rather than a 18/19 yr old raw rookie which we can't really develop much if we want to win. If our FO does the deep dive and thinks we can survive the PR nightmare that is attached with him, then why not.

Just hope that he doesn't disappear like what he did in the opening NCAAT. I mean that is the biggest stage of any college player.

Did I just read "mature" and "Miller" in the same sentence?

[RichCollab]

Dick is rising.

[CarraT]

Really interesting to see the WARP rankings.



1) Who the heck is Cason Wallace? Is he the steal of the draft?
2) Black might be a projected bust.
3) Taylor Hendricks projected to be a long term NBA starter is cool.
4) Zach Edey and Marcus Sasser did score well. Either could be a SRP steal.

Wallace is the Kentucky PG.

Of course. My point is that "has anyone in the universe considered him a potential top-5 pick"?


..

Not top 5, but definitely top 10, for a long time. He can shoot and his defense is outstanding.

Black, Smith, and Miller were all no-shows in the first game of the tournament.

[KillMonger]

I wouldn’t mind one of the Duke centers.

Lively and Ryan? Cuz Flip is a PF.

Lively is a FRP and Ryan is a future MVP in your nearest YMCA weekend games.

Same... defense isnt really what I think of Miller...

We could go Whitehead and Lively and I’d be stoked

[RookieStar]

Whitehead is showing his 3pt arsenal... just in time..

Come aboard. I’ve been championing it for a while now

No way either goes in the lottery…. Maybe Whitehead but he would have to have an AMAZING run in the tourney.

If Whitehead maintains this shooting masterpiece all the way to bringing duke the NCAA title, then il be the forst to ride the top10 pick for him.

Will Taylor Hendricks be there at 16? If Chicago made the playin

I don't think they're going to be 16 if they make the play-in. Only 10 teams are outside of the playoffs/play-in, and the Bulls would likely have the worst record of the 20. They could make it and be between 9-11.

I believe they would still be behind some Western conference teams that have better records and didn't make the play-in.
