Re: 2024 NBA Draft Thread
At least one of these dudes is likely to be on the board at #10.
Where do you all rank these guys in terms of future production, overall potential or immediate contributing?

One of Salaun, Holland, Buzelis, Williams, Risacher, will be there, no brainer.

On ball wing scorer
Doesn't really do much else, though.

Hell, Salaun might actually be there at 20.

He's not getting out of the lotto. 18 still on draft day, 6-10 with 7-4 ws from some sites. Dude is going to destroy the combine by just showing up.
He's already a Trey Murphy clone at just 18. No telling what he morphs into by age 22-23 where OO and JJ are now.

Re: 2024 NBA Draft Thread
I just hope we draft anyone except an undersized guard.
So we will draft another undersized guard.

Re: 2024 NBA Draft Thread
^Speaking of undersized guards, here's a solid 2nd Round Target.
Microwave scorer off the bench.
Microwave scorer off the bench.
Bleacher ReportKJ Simpson | Guard | Colorado
Size: 6'2", 189 lbs
Age/Year: 21, Junior
Pro comparison: Cole Anthony
While there will always be skeptics in undersized scoring guards, KJ Simpson demonstrated the type of craftiness, high-level shotmaking and competitiveness for teams to bet on a 6'2" guard overcoming some physical limitations. At least if the gamble only requires a pick in the late 20s or second round.
He had an ultra-productive and efficient season that continued into the NCAA tournament. A contested, game-winning dribble jumper against Florida gave Colorado a second win.
A 43.1 percent catch-and-shoot guard who hit 42.7 percent of his pull-ups and 43.2 percent of his mid-range shots, totaled 110 made half-court buckets at the rim and registered a 25.0 assist percentage in three consecutive season, Simpson is still likely to go late in the draft due to size and athletic question marks.

OR...MAYBE...we trade the pick for real help? Don't have a target or anything, but............
I honestly think that's the most likely outcome after Trae's repeated, public, thinly-veiled ultimatums.

Re: 2024 NBA Draft Thread
If we were to move on from one of our PGs...not the worst option to take a gamble on:

If we take another smallish PG, I will lose my marbles.

Re: 2024 NBA Draft Thread
Just for clarification: Do you consider 6'5" Isaiah Collier or 6'6" Stephon Castle as undersized/smallish PGs?

Re: 2024 NBA Draft Thread
If we were to move on from both Trae and Dejounte, I Collier wouldn't be a bad place to start a rebuild at #10 in a weak draft.
