I'm kind of more interested in the 2nd round. Like i have been saying for weeks, its a weak draft but the talent from #4 to #50 are all about on the same level, so its very possible that we could see 4 or 5 future starters coming out of the 2023 second round.

Azuolas Tubelis, poor man's Kevin Love, a new gen PF, and like Love, is very skilled but limited athleticism

Colin Castleton, not spectacular, but you have to admire his grit and hustle, he reminds me of Meyers Leonard

Oscar Tshiebwe, a mini Capela, his production doesn't lie, and has the UK pedigree, but his size is the only issue.

Jalen Wilson, reminds me of Demarre Carroll, which is not amazing but a player with a good IQ and good hustle.

That's too big a range for that to be true as a blanket statement.
Now if you want to say a few of the 2nd rounders are being overlooked, sure.

Not really, its happen before. You can look at draft 1986 and 2005. Outside of the top five picks, there was an even distribution of talent and busts from picks 5 to 60

I'm really starting to like Colin Castleton in the 2nd round. If you are rating grit and hustle, he could be #1.

I have a feeling if he goes undrafted and MIA picks him up, 3yrs from now people will be again talking about Heat culture and how Heat are able to get undrafted guys blah blah blah...

The guy is a complete jerk, but Karl Malone has one of the best draft day suits of all time. Chris Paul is atop that list as well.

Which prospect takes the title of 'best dressed' tonight?
Any one pulling a Trae Young and coming dressed like a 9-year-old?

Dereck Lively will be drafted top 10 so we're out of the running. I don't even know what to expect from us now.

I have a wild prediction for the draft....

We will draft a player who plays basketball.

Yep. If they want 15 as well, Capela is not available unless Cam is available and I hear Dallas isn't moving down if Cam is available. They basically want us to give away 15 and a quality player for a scrub to move up and get what we can get at 15. Get the **** outta here
