2024 NBA DRAFT THREAD

[_MidNight_]

To anyone following the draft, do you think picks 20-32 have strong talent?

OG was drafted 23rd and Siakam was drafted 27th so I'm wondering if there's hidden gems like this.

I count a little over 20 players that kind of fit the long athletic forward/center mold. At least half of them not worth drafting.

Haven't looked deep enough yet, but so far I'd go with something like Zvonimir Ivisic, Jaylon Tyson, Melvin Ajinca/Wooga Poplar, Ulrich Chomche (draft and stash in G-league).

Sign Olynyk in the off-season and a back-up PG/guard if we don't have one.

Draft Fillipowski. He's like JV/Poeltl/Olynyk with better ball-handling. Hopefully teams see his low-ceiling but ignore his high floor and we can draft him with the OKC/LAC pick in the 20's. I guess try for Salaun with the Pacers pick.

If we can come away with Salaun and Fillipowski our rebuild would be pretty much complete in one season. I like him a lot!

IQ
RJ
Salauan
Scottie
Fillipowski

That's a lot of young talent to start a first year rebuild with.

The only thing Masai would need to do is fill out the bench. Grady and Yak is a good start.
I also want to see what Nwora has. He's having a down year shooting but he's a 38% three point shooter for his career. He also handles the ball well.

The picks and assets we get from Gary, Boucher, Bruce, and Dennis can go a very long way in filling out that bench.

Draft Ulrich Chomche because Africa.

I'm onboard the Filipowski train.

I would still look to get another 24' pick (if we cant get a 25') and then look to package on draft night to move up and target our guy

I know we suck but its going to be so hard to stay in the top 6. Even then, we can still get out from the lottery and knowing our luck, it will probably happen

Trading up just seems like very very poor value in this draft, I was more thinking of trading out hoping another team finds someone they like instead.

[S.W.A.N]

Keep an eye on Kentucky. Ivisic (way too small sample size) is another stretch big that will make some noise along Filipowski and Chomche. I've already put PJ Hall and Holmes as my second round pick bigs to pay attention too as well. There a few good stretch big options this draft if things keep developing at same rate

[Mark_83]

If we get another 2nd for Boucher, Brown, or GTJ I want to get Daron Holmes. I'm very high on his role/rotation player potential. He's not going yo be a star but he's going to have a NBA spot with his defense and switchability, especially now that he's hitting threes consistently.

I like him upon closer look, but I also really want a defensive shot blocking big, maybe if we paired him with a shot blocking PF.

He has more offensive upside than the players you mentioned. JV was a P/R finisher coming into the league. Poeltl can't shoot.

Scottie Barnes is a shot-blocking PF.

Masai already knows

Chomche is a 6-foot-11 big man that has been one of the most unique draft risers we have had in recent memory. The Cameroon native is the youngest prospect in the draft and is absolutely oozing with potential. Chomche really saw his stock skyrocket up at the G League Showcase where he looked super impressive in front of NBA scouts. He showcased his defensive versatility, explosiveness and offensive flashes at this event.

At 6-foot-11, he shoots 38% from behind the arc while also averaging 2.7 blocks per game showcasing he has legit 3-and-D upside. It’s unknown if he has legit interest in entering the 2024 NBA Draft or not, but he has been gaining a ton of steam recently and would likely be drafted in this year’s draft if elects to enter.

Chomche isnt just athletic. He has good footwork and skill. Gotta be on our list

That ain't no Chump Change!!!

He looks like Myles Turner 2.0. Our C of the future.

He's only 6'10 and would be a good cheap replacement for Boucher but would rather get a 2nd pick next year instead of more picks this year in the 2nd round. With all of the player coming in 7ft or taller, I feel like he'd be too small and less effective as a pro. Maybe like a Jontay Porter who is actually 6'11.

I think I was the first or one of the first guys to bring him up on this board a few weeks ago when I put a Bam with 3pt range comp on him.

He's very raw but you can see the upside in flashes, and he's the youngest guy in the draft. I'd take him as high as the OKC pick right now. We need to raise this team's ceiling which means we have to take a few swings at upside. Adding Ivisic/Salaun and this guy in one draft (not even accounting for the other pick(s) we have) accomplishes that imo.

You're right, I think we can easily get away with our stretch defensive big of the future in this draft. Heck, I think I might be able to get two of them!

These guys are the hardest players to find in the league. Having two would be amazing moving forward.

If theres a guy they like who wont go past the lottery They gotta be aggressive and move up

Interesting player who isn't getting a lot of attention yet cause he's more likely to come out next year is combo guard Kanaan Carlyle from Stanford. The kid is just a ridiculous pure scorer. He's doing what people probably expected DJ Wagner to do this year with Kentucky. I'll throw a Lou Williams meets Ben Gordon comp on him.

I think I've come around to the same thinking. Cody is going to be a stud. He looks even more dynamic than his brother at the same age.

Been saying Cody Williams is going to be good.

I think he's a lock for a Top 5 pick. Gonna take some time to come around at the NBA level but I like the guy.

That's good being the youngest as he could still grow an inch to reach 7ft tall. Helps to guard Chet, Wemby, Embiid, Jokic, etc. It's like Bilal being young and it looked like he was 6'8" out there.

Scottie is still listed at 6'7", but he's definitely grown to 6'8" or 6'9".

Not sure if it's just the video quality but he looks shorter than 6'11". Unless everyone is a giant there.

One thing I like about Cody Williams is how much he’s improved in such a short span. I’ve been following him closely since his Junior season of HS when he was the 68th ranked prospect in the class (UCLA was recruiting him so I was tracking him closely). Then he suddenly rose to the 20s and then soon after, the top 5.

He’s going to continue improving. He has All NBA potential as a premier scorer imo
