2024 NBA Draft Thread

True. Maybe they are learning from what others are doing?

What do you think about Brian Keefe.....any opinion yet?

Seems like a decent player development guy, which is what the team needs right now.

So I think he is a decent fit.

He is definitely not why the Wizards suck.

Whether or not he is a value added type coach?

Don’t know. Can’t judge that until the team has players capable of winning.

Fair points.

I told y’all

Too many guys getting invited

 

[eaglesnut]

Fucking knicks ending up with more Villanova talent to embarrass the Sixers with.

Off today and just watching some recorded shows and chill-axing on my laptop here on tHoop.

If I get bored before the 2nd round starts may fuck around and go into the PF a little later.

Yeah, should be top 15 only.

That way the last player standing still likely to get picked.

I’d go no more than 10

After rashard Lewis it never should’ve come close to expanding like this

the 76ers got dunn out of uva.he,s excellent on defense.

@The Q why do you think Filipowski still not drafted?

I thought I read several mocks where he was a 1st rounder in the 20 range or so?

@tlance too.

 

[tlance]

@tlance too.

He is skilled offensively.

But I think he is a perimeter player in the NBA. I question whether he has the physicality to be more than a catch and shoot guy.

And he is not likely to be an asset defensively.

So most likely outcome is a bench scorer role.

Worth taking late first or early second, but I just don’t think teams see that much upside in him.

Sliding from 20-25 to 30 - 40 really isn’t much of a slide.

Okay. Thanks.

I was just curious....after I posted the comment I tagged you and Q in I went and looked.

Some mocks had him ranked as the #16 best player.

 

[DJ]

One of the mocks a few months ago had the Lakers taking Filipowski at #17.

Happy as Hell with Knecht.

Yeah, once you get past the top few the difference isn’t that big.

There will be some hidden gems for sure.

But with a likely role player, it is a lot about fit.

A little soft. Maybe like a more skilled, higher potential Kleber

the stuff from the aldridge exclusives on the athletic were damning.

Bsaically every other player in the entire series had nice things said about them.....except Fil.

He can switch out onto the perimeter. But they all basically said the dude is a giant pussy who coudn't guard any bigs with any reasonable size/strength.,

He also isn't THAT good of a shooter right now.

finding cheap role players is more important than ever with this eat paste level IQ CBA.

Yep.

2nd round picks will be huge now. Gotta find diamonds in the rough so to speak.

Pretty good explanation of what Presti saw in Jones to make him unload a bunch of picks
