2024 NBA DRAFT THREAD 4

[Thaddy]

Edey posted a lane agility that is better than some guards. Notably better than Bufkin, Quickely, Koloko, Clax, Reid, Gafford, JRE, Jackson-Davis, Jaquez, Naji Marshall, Jaylin Williams, and Trey Murphy.

[RoteSchroder]

Holmes could be the next Paul Milsap but a little taller. He'd be a nice pickup for the Suns at #22.

Holmes is a little too slow to get to Millsap level. He’s be a nice role player if his speed can keep up though.

Edey’s reaction time is super slow. Do they have a drill where players need to react to something and make split decisions?

What I’ve observed from Edey is that he’s not slow, but he either has slow reactions like you’re saying, or very cautious about getting into foul trouble, or not enough stamina to actively defend and contest defensively with the minutes and offensive load he had to carry.

Okay folks switcheroo. Or swisheroo.

I'm taking Bubba Carlton Carrington at #19 if Collier doesn't drop there. The Bubba shake and bake is ridic-u-lous. The shooting touch is all there. Elite skills: Dribbling. Mid rangers...and his passing isn't shabby when-if he sees anyone out there LOL. Complete ISO freak and ankle breaker. PJ Hall at 31. Perfect power forward depth. A gamer. Going to stick to these two and watch their stock.

I ve fallen in love with his game as well

How fixable do you think those are?

I don't like the idea of using pick 19 on a rim running, low offensive upside big. These type of guys are like RBs in the NFL, there's so many of them available and you can usually get a decent one for the MLE or below. I'd aim for an efficient bucket getter with some potential, preferably a wing with size.

Still haven't made up my mind about Bub. For fans of his, are you not worried that he almost never gets enough separation to get to the rim and leans a little too much on that pull-up? Do you think it's something that gets sorted as he learns the game more and adds strength?

I wouldn't be surprised if we took Holmes at 31. Elite BPM and PER, great kid, year over year progression. Only minus is the non-elite measurements for a PF/C with his 7'0.5 wingspan.

Holmes could be the next Paul Milsap but a little taller. He'd be a nice pickup for the Suns at #22.

He should be the pick at #19 if Collier and Carter are unavailable. Simple as that.

[BoyzNTheHood]

I might just start scouting Mogbo more in-depth because he makes too much sense for us. He’s the Masai Ujiri prototype, and he’s boys with Scottie.

He's still going to be 18 on draft night. He already has the hops, lefty finger-rolls, floaters. Acing the 3pt shooting drill shows that at 18, he's already comfortable with the NBA 3pt range.

Carrington > Topic, JaKobe, Devin, Kolek, Collier, McCain, Dillingham, Reed

I think he'll likely be like Coby White who was drafted #7 overall but he has no ceiling. I think his floor is Ayo Dosunmu.

Na there's so many videos of him getting to the rim , he's so shifty and the kind of pg who can create of the dribble this team has been lacking in the half court , getting separation and hitting those mid range is a must for all the elite players in this playoffs Shai, kyrie luka Brunson jamal

If we drafted Edey and Bronny how many national TV games do we get?

I guess you're addressing Grant and reinforcing my point.

Geez, I could see Miami drafting Carrington at #15. I hope they draft Devin Carter with his speed and STOCKS.

Ugh, if Philly takes him #16 and pair up with Maxey things might be over in the east.

Bronny can play basketball but his measurement was the dagger through the chest.

Honestly I'm thinking maybe Bronny, if he wants to, could play overseas in Taiwan or something and pops shows up every now and then to draw insane crowds to games.

Interestingly I can’t find his height and wingspan measurements.

[ArthurVandelay]

Can he guard the perimeter? That is what is going to determine his career.

His game reminds me of Kenneth Faried and Precious...he's a better passer than both of them though.

I like guys like Furphy, Jaylon Tyson, Karaban, Sallis, George. da Silva, Tyler Smith

DaSilva measured tall, like 6'10 in shoes. I think he'd be like an Ersan Ilyasova.

Tyler Smith would be like Bobby Portis.

I want Carrington at #19 and Chomche at #31. Just trying to wish this into existence.

When I say he has no ceiling, is there any reason that Carrington can't be SGA 2.0?

SGA was a lot more efficient in college. He put up splits of 48/40/80 as a freshman. Carrington's numbers were pretty mediocre. He'd have to take a huge leap to get there.
