2023 NBA Draft Thread

Does Whitmore slide to 25?

[Who]

Does anyone think we'll take a look at Jalen Hood-Schifino?

He's a 6'6 combo guard with a 6'10 wingspan.  He could have the length to be good defensively.

I guess his main question is his athleticism/quickness.  But his body looks ready to compete against men in the NBA.

EDIT: Nevermind.  Lakers just SCOOPED him at #17!

I have seen him talked about as a homeless man's Evan Turner. Lots of midrange jump shots. Lacks range. Good all-round game with rebounding and passing. A creator who needs the ball in his hands. Doesn't play well off ball. Doesn't create high value offense. Not good enough to be a creator in the NBA. No clear role for him in the NBA. And a bad defender.

Sounds like a bust. Good LAL took him. A missed opportunity for them to improve their team. And they do need to improve their team. Their supporting cast isn't good enough for a title push.

Is that Timelord music I hear?

Excited to see who Miami take.

Yeah, I agree. Reminds me of Talen Horton-Tucker.

[Goldstar88]

Wemby is going to be a major star and attraction in this league. Beyond the obvious talent and size, he seems like a genuinely good guy and humble, but also has good charisma. Reminds me a lot of Giannis.

I agree. He’s very likable. Can’t wait to see how he does in SL.

Moving on if they are available at #25 who would you rather take for the Celtics Brandin Poziemski, Brice Sensabaugh, or Dariq Whitehead?

[Who]

Ah, Jaime Jaquez. Not wild about that.

Another small 6-6 forward. Like Jimmy Butler and C Martin. Jaquez has a somewhat interesting game but I feel this is too early for him and he is not needed on that team.

[DefenseWinsChamps]

If I weren't a Celtic fan, I'd probably cheer for the Miami Heat. Love their players and who they bring in on their team.

Whitmore is going #24 just to mess with us.

The kid out of Marquette

Me too.  I like their toughness and competitiveness.

[DrJasper]

Hoping for Leonard Miller or Whitehead

[Who]

Ooh, the Warriors are next. Fun.

It would be nice to see them get some help for their team. I didn't like seeing them struggle this past season or get knocked out by an unexceptional LAL team.

Will GSW draft Murray?
