2024 NBA Draft Thread - June 26/27

[M-C-G]

I like George a lot and would definitely talk myself into drafting him if he's there (I think he goes in the teens), but I think his "crazy upside" is overrated. He's got an easy to see path to being an elite 3&D wing, but he's a complimentary offensive dude. Perfect for us but maybe not for a team looking for a building block player. Keep in mind he's an older freshman (turns 21 in December) and shot 46% on 2's.

All true but when I watched his euro play, he looked like he was in a role similar to how we would use him. I’m also not against Pacome Dadiet who seems somewhat similar but maybe higher ceiling and maybe the youngest guy in the draft.

Both guys need some work with Suki to get springier. I’m probably picking Dunn above both of them though, if it was my call.

CBS has us with Dunn and Tyson. I'd be very good with that.

I’m in on that!

[German Athens]

Getting Dunn and Tyson would be a great draft!

[ReasonablySober]

I don’t see an NBA player with Tyson. Would be bummed with that one.

[ABucksFan]

Lol, i did not realize the draft was tomorrow lol

[Matches Malone]

Love Tyson. Yes please.

Kel'el Ware
Baylor Scheierman
Jaylon Tyson
Ryan Dunn
Tristan Da Silva
Yves Missi
Terrence Shannon Jr.

Would be happy getting at least one of these guys in our 23-33 range.

I only watched one scouting report, seems like a controlled player with good offensive versatility. What I didn’t like is that he has that he didn’t seem too athletic and I, not sure how he measured. I don’t see him playing above the rim much, but I only watch a few minutes of these guys, if people feel like he helps us get more athletic and longer at the wing, I’m good with him

Finding some kind of line up where you can play Dame, AJJ, Dunn, Giannis and X would be so fun. Just let AJJ and Dunn move like crazy off ball on offense and do all the dirty work and screens, crash the offensive boards, etc, would be a 180 from the team that got run off the court by the Pacers this year.

I’m super curious if you can play Dunn as a small ball 5 IF he is paired with Giannis out there.

Agree..This is the list

I just remembered we have Doc. We need to trade all our picks, none of them will get any minutes.

Sorry to Holmes fans out there.

As the Bucks gauge the trade market for Brook Lopez, they have left rival teams with the impression the No. 23 spot could be focused on a potential long-term replacement at center. Milwaukee attempted to bring Dayton big man DaRon Holmes II in for a workout, sources said. Holmes declined the invite, but not because of a widely whispered promise with Denver at No. 28, according to league sources. While Holmes indeed shut down his workout schedule —prompting teams to suspect a promise somewhere in the late first round — and Holmes could certainly be an option for the Nuggets at that spot, there has been no guarantee Denver would select him, sources said. Holmes has garnered interest from enough teams to earn a green-room invite. He’s been connected by league personnel to Sacramento as well.

I think his playmaking makes him desirable for a lot of teams. He's clearly going to surpass the 3&D archetype

How does this change the likelihood the Bucks select him much? It just indicates the promise wasn't from Denver. Could be a couple spots higher, or lower. Then the Bucks snap him up before, unless there's a new mandate players needed to work out.

Lots of intriguing long term centers that could be available at 23. Very few though that I think could play anything more than spot minutes year 1

You're right it. It probably makes it more likely they take him. It worked out super well with Yi.

He’s played tons of young guys every step of his career as a coach. He’d probably do the same here if we get young guys worth playing.

Yi infamously worked out, then he didn't work out.

You mean the workout Bill Simmons made up?

Anyway he didn't workout for the Bucks.

IDK what you're talking about, but if you were being genuine, it was still a silly point. Joe Alexander worked out. Potsie was even worse than PonzYi.
