2023 NBA Draft Thread

[SHAQATTACK]

Only a few picks till us.

Who is everyone thinking?

I like Kris Murray as an immediate impact guy. Dariq Whitehead or Leonard Miller could be nice swings for the fences. Maybe Noah Clowney?

I like Clowney..

Me too

I have a feeling Brad Stevens might not love this draft.  Haven't heard anything about him wanting to move up.  Do you guys think we even take a player at #25 or trade out of it?

Most of the talent in the teens seems pretty dodgy. I don't really like any of those guys taken from #14 until GSW tooks Podz at#19. Feels like the 20s will have better players than the teens. Too many undersized combo guards with no defense and often dodgy offense.

Annoying the ESPN banner still shows Grizzlies picking at 25

It's technically correct; the trade isn't official yet, so Memphis picks for us.

How is every one of these guys moms attractive?

It also seems like all these guys have had extensive media training.

Their dad’s were athletes. Got the girls. That, and makeup. 😂

Whitmore is a great risk/reward prospect to get at #20.

I was uncomfortable with him in the 4-7 range but he is fantastic value at #20.

I also like Cissoko.

Clowney to Brooklyn is interesting

good defender who looks like he could develop a real jumper

[Who]

Clowney = young raw size.

Still like Andre Jackson from UConn

I hope we don’t draft Derek whitehead but given Brad’s recent obsession with injury prone players I wouldn’t be surprised

[JumpingJudkins]

Let's go Leonard ...

Does anyone think the Celtics might take draft riser Olivier-Maxense Prosper?

From the reports he could be an elite and versatile defender from the 4 position but might be able to defend multiple positions. 6'8 with a 7'1 wingspan.
