2024 NBA Draft Thread

[DJ]

Well,

I have been known to argue with @dtgold88 also.

Pretty much the same vibe.

Hey All,

This is a great post about the upcoming NBA Draft.

I wanted to give you some insight into Bronny.

Some of you could be down on me last year for predicting that Bronny would be going to the Michigan Wolverines. He was very close to going there but wanted to develop at home at USC.

Sources close to me, including coaches who worked with Bronny’s former USC Coach Andy Enfield, are telling me that Bronny will not be playing NCAA basketball anymore.

The latest intel has Bronny on the edge of the NBA. I have heard discussions on Bronny going to the G League and some teams high on him are Iowa (Minnesotas team), the Cleveland Charge and the Fort Wayne Mad Ants (Indiana).

Honestly my best bet is Bronny going to Fort Wayne. Minnesota would love to have him to develop into Anthony Edwards type player and Cleveland is packed in the G League with Emoni Bates and Sharife Cooper at the helm.

The same sources think Bronny would do great in the Fort Wayne. Indiana loves their basketball and Bronny would be a star in his native Midwest. Throw in Lebron coming back to Midwest to mentor and tutor the G League star and you have a movie in the making.

Edey basically do what Val does already for them so they used to those type of centers playing next to Zion

One of the few centers at their spot who might be ready day 1

Not sure about him specifically but theoretically

It's going to be very interesting to see how Eady and Clingan, old school giants in the middle, fare in the modern NBA compared to Wembenyama and Homgren.

Definitely Utah, the one thing they definitely, definitely don’t have is undersized combo guards…

So great pick if it happens basically

Most common comp is Lou Williams, upside is a poor man’s trae

He’s really good with the ball

If spo can get more out of his d he can be really good.

But I’m dubious due to his lack of size and strength

He gets hunted in the offs

Is he playable with Herro? Sounds like a potential problem.

I’d say no.

Although no one is stopping them offensively either lol

I think he likely goes before 15, but it is an interesting decision if he does fall.

I’m pretty certain Miami doesn’t plan on having Herro around for the coming season

Good point...

[The Q]

He’ll be a spur at 8

Spurs will tank

League will give them things cause that’s just what they do

 

[The Q]

So who is Presti going to make a star at 12?

Glad you asked

My list of most thunder like picks

Filipowski (stretch 5 so they can keep playing 5 out, can switch around, and play next to Chet)

Salaun (long, athletic, high upside)

Cody Williams (see above, even better that it’s jalens brother)

Devin Carter (while a little shorter than they like, he’s super long and athletic, and can play next to shai)

Ron Holland (if he falls)

I would add Ware to this list

He seems to be rising a bit and can play as a 5 out center and is long af

Long AF is a Presti requirement

Don't the Thunder need a physical center more than another twig?

 

[The Q]

Don't the Thunder need a physical center more than another twig?

i think so

but this is about guys they tend to like

I think ware is on that list.

they should simply trade up for Clingan and Castle and start drafting all the national champs to create Storrs West....a better version of the Nova Knicks...
