Re: 2024 NBA DRAFT THREAD
If things continue as they are, we may be looking at two picks in the teens and a 2nd rounder. That's 3 guys we could roll the dice on and lock up on cheap deals. This is the way.

Trade them all for future 2nd rounders, you say?! Not a bad move

Seen this kid mocked in the teens but after games like this he’s probably making his way into the back half of the lottery.

Re: 2024 NBA DRAFT THREAD
We got 3 picks potentially?
Draft 2 of the best PG prospects and then draft one 3&D high upside stud.
One of those PG's may pan out and you hope the 6'8" 3&D swing man pans out to replace Grimes' production.

It’s George Mikans great great grandson lol. Wouldn’t shock me if he went to a Big Ten school next year as they can offer more NIL money a step up in competition and fairly local move. The transfer portal is complete madness btw.

I've never heard of this kid in my life
But seriously, he's skilled. Big body, soft touch and some heady iq. His footwork isn't anything to write home about, and i think he could benefit from some weight room work, but I'd keep an eye on him.

Amazing, considering it looks like he can't even jump over a sheet of paper. I just watched three highlight videos of him totaling almost 10 minutes, with multiple scores at the rim, and zero dunks. Not sure he can?!
And "Cream Abdul Jabbar" is fcking hilarious

What a fantastic nickname.
And yeah he definitely isn't going to blow you away with athleticism. I would like to see what he can do against higher level players.

A few years back there was some other chubby white kid center the was an Uber driver that was on a team that advanced to the sweet 16. Maybe Indiana state can be that team this year.

I think Nova did it under Rollie Mass with John Pinone - he wasn't chubby though; more like the Rock. But earthbound, not a rim runner. Think they beat a MJ college team sometime.
