Woj saying Sheppard or Risacher at 1. This could mean a huge blowup in Atlanta, or it could be an attempt to extract value by moving down to 3 or 4.

Sheppard's suit is wayyy too slim. Does he think this is 2017? Baggy is back bro.

I don't know why I'm so hyped. This is a terrible draft.. maybe I'm excited for the potential trades

I feel like I rather have Bilal Coulibaly over Risacher...

congrats to Atlanta but man, I don't get it...I think you have to make some big assumptions to fill in the gaps with Zac Risacher, there is a path to being a 3+D for sure, maybe a little more if those assumptions hit but it's a risky bet imo

Nothing too bad, my #2 going #1, #5 going #2.

Let's see if Rockets fracks this with Clingan over Reed.

I wonder if Washington drafts Edey at 14. I wouldn't hate it, someone should see if it work and Washington is a complete blank slate. Clearly they and Sarr think he is a 4 (he is not).

Reed Sheppard being top 3 is crazy lmao

nice fit for Sheppard and Houston

really like him him next to that personnel but especially Bari and Sengun

I would take Dilly, Buz or Castle here if I am the Spurs

Big J · Post #2692 » by **Big J** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 12:32 am

How the Eff did the Spurs just steal Castle? Rest of the league just **** up.

Nothing surprising so far. As usual, had I stopped updating my mock about two weeks ago it would have been a bit closer lmao

I love Castle, Spurs got a good one.

Pistons next...

Detroit needs to take Buz right here, perfect fit in that lineup w/ Cade

I question the fit with Ausar, Duren, and Ivey, though. Unless his shooting in workouts is more indicative of what it will be in the league.

clyde21 · Post #2697 » by **clyde21** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 12:39 am

Would've went Buz but good ceiling pick by Detroit

Big J · Post #2698 » by **Big J** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 12:39 am

Holland has that Tim Thomas look to him.

tbh guys like Duren/Ivey will not stop me from taking anyone, I don't build around them, but point taken

I like Holland too, I do think it is funny that Detroit refuses to draft anyone who can shoot. Now ... does either Buzelis or Williams slip to 10? Please?
