2024 NBA Draft Thread

[DJ]

Where is the outrage over Sarr not working out with the Hawks?

His agent wanted him in Washington.

This isn't a rare occurrence.

The 23rd pick in the 1st round.

You didn't watch the draft?

No. I heard the Warriors had no picks. I couldn’t care less about the rest of the NBA

 

[The Q]

It’s hard when the NBA has fully guaranteed contracts so unless you trade a guy you can’t just cut him and keep that money. Giving Reggie a lower deal and a player option to begin with could be debated as a smart move or not but it really worked out the year they won the title, last year not so much.

I’m curious what Denver is doing since Jackson is functional (not good) and cheap enough

They gotta replace two guys in their rotation now

It depends on if they re-sign KCP or not. If so they’ll have very little money but can hopefully find a veteran on a cheap deal.

 

[The Q]

Prospect grades have become inflated over the past few years.

Used to be only a small handful of 5 stars and 4 stars ran out well before 100.

Low end top 100 should not be a 4 star IMO.

That isn’t a knock on Bronny.

But you know he isn’t even thinking about the draft after his freshmen season if he is anyone else.

I agree with both of you on this.

Bronny was a legit top 100 level guy (and frankly it’s more tiers rather than the exact number, eye of the beholder and all) and if dad was 33 or 34 instead of 39 he almost certainly stays in school as well

 

[The Q]

I would love it if the Clippers pick up Boogie Ellis.

If it's mid to late 2nd round.....sometimes it is better to be undrafted....they can pick where they want to go and some of those deals are guaranteed, wether or not they make the team.

He’s fine

But there’s a reason undersized shooting guards are one of our biggest exports

If kcp resigns this was dumb because you can’t replace Jackson anyway

Jackson can be replaced with any malcontent in the league. He’s going to get the record for most teams played for while never being missed once.

It’s more an indictment of Denver’s bench than anything

Nuggets already have a rookie from last year going into his second year that is gonna replace Jackson’s production, now they’ll need a back up to that guy but it’s not a big loss.

Also with the way Malone coaches and having Jokic, when Murray is off the floor they may not use an another PG to they may go with 2 SG’s which Denver is strong at.

The guy they just drafted will backup Jokic they don’t need Jordan for anything other than locker room leadership and depth to fill out the roster.

Paying above the minimum for leadership when youre up against apron lines is bad

Is he a locker room savant? This guy was washed up 4 years ago yet teams still pay to keep him around
