2023 NBA Draft

[Village Idiot]

You know what sucks about this board? Everyone has their favorite prospects and they say one thing about a prospect in a thread they like [will improve, small sample, ect] in order to justify a player they like, and then in a thread about a player they are lower on they say the exact same thing but the opposite [they won't improve, small sample size, ect].

It's a joke. Some people here are clearly in a tier of their own in terms of posting, but 80% of people here should be completely ignored.

Agreed, but who here is in a tier of their own? You, and who else?

@Colbini: show us your mock and big board please. I don't see that you have one on that sub-forum. I'd love to see your thoughts gathered in one place.

I just consume the information here and relay my thoughts of observation.

I highly doubt you would like to see my thoughts.

But I dont see much value in a mock draft. I see value in assessing players strengths and weaknesses and attempting to accurately project those strengths and weaknesses into the NBA game.

I see value in making a tier list [some people do that here, which I really like].

But Mock drafts? I doubt most people who do mock drafts even understand a teams needs or direction, probably never looks at a teams cap situation in 1/2/3 years out, assesses a GM's history of patterns try and identity what the GM may value more/less than other GM's.

You just posted a bunch of gobbledygook with very little substance, and didn't answer either of our questions. Cool story bro.

I understand. I like the mocks more that the big-boards myself but regardless, it would be cool to see you board with tiers.

I hope you are that is behind a pay wall…are you aware of that?

JE3 mentioned it on a pod, can’t remember which one

[HiDef]

Final top 10-
1. Wemby
2. Scoot Henderson
3. Mouhammed Gueye
4. Keyonte George
5. Amen Thompson
6. Cam Whitmore
7. Kobe Bufkin
8. Dereck Lively
9. Bilal Coulibaly
10. GG Jackson

Like Clyde said, **** trying to evaluate the Thompson twins.

Last player I had to get away from was Taylor Hendricks. Just a bit suspicious about his shot and his ability to contribute in the halfcourt.

Gueye is my guy. Future all-star and a next-level positionless freak.
