2023 NBA Draft Thread

Wow did not envision Whitmore falling out of the lottery

I really like Jordan Hawkins. Maybe the star potential is missing, but I 100% believe that 3pt shot is super legit.

[PAOBoston]

I know nothing about any of these young players.

My takeaway so far is that Gradey Dick might have the greatest suit of all time.

[Who]

I don't like either of these picks. Bufkin or J Hawkins.

Why does Atlanta need Bufkin? They have two PGs in D Murray and T Young already. So another small combo guard. That is a very small backcourt. Still lacking at forward.

J Hawkins is a fine shooter but not much else.

[RPGenerate]

Bufkin? What a weird pick when you have Trae and Murray... unless Murray is about to be gone.

[celticinorlando]

Bufkon doesn’t fit at all in Atlanta

[RPGenerate]

Apparently Whitmore is dropping due to medical concerns.

[celticinorlando]

Should be some real talent at 25

[jpotter33]

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.

Tornado touched down 1/2 mile from me in my no tornado ever town with 120mph winds and destroyed by beautiful massive pine tree  and God knows what else. A few feet to right and half of home would have been totaled. Guess draft not so important for me tonight.

Wont let me share pic for some reason.

That’s horrible, glad you are ok

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!

[perks-a-beast]

I think Danny nailed both his picks even though drafting in the 10-20 range hasn't exactly been his bread and butter in the past - Nesmith, Langford, James Young, Yabusele, ect..

[Who]

Keyonte George shot 37.6% FG% and 33.8% 3PT%. Awful for a scoring combo guard. 2.8apg vs 2.9 turnovers per game. Undersized SG and bad defensively.

Why is he a first round pick?
