2023 Draft Discussion Part 7 (Thurs June 22 @ 8pm)

[Dalek]

Didn't realize that Leonard Miller didn't get a green room invite. O-Max did which seems a bit surprising.

A win here would be huge.

I really like Bufkin but I am not seeing what makes him can't miss.

Personally I'll be exciting if him & Lively move up to allow one of Whitmore or Bilal to fall to us.

Yeah I think people need to chill on the expectations lol.

I’m probably the biggest Bufkin fan but even I know him making an all nba team is probably non existent.

He’s going to be very good but he’s not the saviour of the franchise. (Would be awesome if he hits his absolute ceiling though)

I have very little doubt he'll bust...he's at minimum going to prove to be a really good rotation player imo and I'll admit I can't say that for Bilal but I just like BC's potential WAY more but I'll digress from that.

But it's hard to "hate on" picking Bufkin because worst case is you likely have a good player and high side I'd think he can be a cusp all-star level type like OG but at SG. Still VERY valuable piece but unless he can really transform his handles, timing and shiftiness to be like SGA's (who was ALWAYS great at that), I'm not sure I see quite a "star" player which to me is the only thing I think of a player as a can't miss prospect that must be traded up for.

To get a guy who is at the cusp of being all star at #13 is great value. I have Bufkin/Wallace very similar, but the fact Bufkin wants to be here, and just his fit in general sways me towards him.

Podziemski is another guy whom I want.

Leonard Miller not getting an invite is very disrespectful.

If Bufkin is available and we pass…

Agreed.

so theoretically how much money could someone make if they correctly bet on Victor not getting chosen 1st?

Well apparently someone put a $8K bet on Victor going #1. His return pot is $300 if he wins lol.

[PhilBlackson]

I have a feeling we will pick either Omax or Leonard Miller

You think Masai will do a San Antonio - Josh Primo kind of pick?

There's nothing wrong with Miller.

Do people even realize he had one of the best seasons of all the PF prospects?! Like which other guy put up 17pts & 10rpg next to a top 3 pick in the draft (for reference that's higher than Hendricks & Wallace as what should've been the primary focuses) and yet people are talking like he's a complete project?! lol if anything it's kinda crazy how underrated he is.

[Bruin]

He said Ontario!
