Re: NBA Draft Thread 2023
Do you draft someone like this with obvious physical talent and send them overseas or stash them in the g-league for 2 to 3 yrs?twix2500 wrote:

Re: NBA Draft Thread 2023
I consider him more of a small shooting guard like Nunn. If the team want to transition to Bam they need a real point guard.
I'm starting to lean a lot more to Jalen Hood-Schifino as the target pick at 19 as we near the draft. He is not a polished player but the talent/ceiling is high.
This draft is full of very talented seniors and juniors. Getting two players at the minimum in this draft should be priority. If a player talented player doesn't fall to the 19th pick i would strongly looked to trade down for multiple picks.
Noah Clowney is a player that starting to rise on my wise list.

i think he's the perfect fit for what we need at PG, a much more talented version of Vincent

Sasser 3 point shooting - very high rate And very high %, pushes him over the edge for me.
A mature smart sniper shooter that can really defend the POA - he's a superb fit here

Re: NBA Draft Thread 2023
I have to watch him more defensively. I sense he is decent playing the lanes.RexBoyWonder wrote:twix2500 wrote:A player i might consider over Sasser who is in the same class of small scorers is Isiah Monk

Re: NBA Draft Thread 2023
Where’s that guy from Detroit projected to go? We should snatch him up, he’s a bucket getter and was like 3 points from the all time NCAA scoring record. He may be ready to contribute someway as a rookie.
He’s also only 6’1 though and didn’t look like he could gain much separation off the dribble from what I’ve seen. Scoring package is elite though, especially off the dribble. He has a nice handle. I’m assuming he would be a 2nd round or undrafted pickup but no clue

Antoine Davis from Detroit. 6’1 guard who’s a great shooter, 3 or 4 points from the all time NCAA scoring record

Re: NBA Draft Thread 2023
I think NBAdraft.net has it right with us selecting Kris Murray. He doesn't look like he needs much space to score & looks like a guy the Spurs would want.
