2023 NBA Draft Thread

TJD to the Warriors with a pick we gave Charlotte for the Hayward exception.  Some irony there.

Livid that they got him. Really angry at that. Another good player I’ve wanted that we could easily have had. He can join my growing collection of pain, featuring Herb Jones, Paul Reed, Xavier Tillman and more

Really like the Walsh pick. 6'6 w/o shoes, 8'11 standing reach, 7'2 wingspan, only 19 years old, one of better athletes in the draft. Its an upside pick. Exactly the kind of guy you should be after in their position.

When they had 35 I would have been happy with Walsh.

Yeah, I was the same way. Not a sure thing but he is a legit NBA athlete, NBA caliber defender and NBA rebounder. He is smart and a ball mover. If he can fix that shot, he is going to be a very good player. If he cannot, he is a 3rd stringer.

Those type of odds are about right for an early 2nd rounder. Good risk / reward defensive minded SF.

Trayce Jackson-Davis is still out there.  I admit I thought him overrated on this board, but we’re now in the range where I’m hopeful we can trade back in and pick him up.

I am very surprised he fell like this. Washington Sorry, Golden State got him in the end with the 57th pick. Good pick.

He should be a good fit in that system. Smart player. Skilled. Moves well, mobile big man. He will be good as the roll man in that offense. Maybe even play some PF with his handles & passing.

San Antonio nabbed both Leonard Miller (33rd pick) and Sidy Cissoko (44th pick) in the 2nd round. Steals. Both of them. Stellar work by San Antonio.

Did not just rest with Wemby. Picked up two of the best value picks in the 2nd round. Both those guys could've been top 20 picks in this draft.

Brilliant draft by them. Love it

You can look it up but Draymond played 4 years of college. He was pretty bad his first two. I think he played like 11 minutes per game his freshman year.

Freshman Walsh was better than freshman Draymond.

Report: Brooklyn Nets not willing to accept No. 3 pick and Anfernee Simons for Mikal Bridges

Good offer. I would have done that if I were BKN. I'd rather have Scoot than Mikal Bridges.

I know. It was fairly obviously tongue in cheek, because they are completely different players. Draymond played as a big who rebounded and passed. Walsh is an athletic wing.

Any news if the Celtics signed undrafted players for camp invites as they did with Hauser two years ago?

Just had a quick scan of Shams & Woj’s Twitter and couldn’t see any, sadly.

Saw Utah picked up Hauser 2.0
