Who is your 2024 draft binkie?

[green_bballers13]

Lebron James Jr.

I want to see them trade him to the Lakers for something more valuable than the 30th pick.

Living in VA I have a soft spots for Dunn (late 1st, early 2nd) and Beekman (late 2nd/FA 2 Way)

They both have elite defensive skills.  Beekman could be a poor man's White.

I'm just not optimistic that Dunn can ever be even an average shooter, but he could be a SF/PF version of Thybulle.

Hadn't seen much of Dunn. Good option.

I think draft history show your are more likely to be able to land guards rather than centers,

I like Juan Nunez and K j simpson

I think Quinten Post is my draft binky but he probably won't even be drafted....

 

Seems like an option at 54 for a 2-way contract.

That's what I'm hoping for...

At #54, maybe.  Otherwise we'd be likely stuck paying a guaranteed contract to a guy without current NBA skills.  There's not much of a market for good-but-not-great defenders who do nothing on offense.  He's like a poor man's Springer.

I'm looking for a big binkie, 6'9" or bigger.

I think Filipowski or Tyler Smith would fit the bill nicely.  I've love to snag Ware as others have stated, but currently mocked around 25.

Of course, a lot of fun could be had with Bona from UCLA!  Hahahaha

I don?t think Bronny will play. I just think he has more market value than the other guys around the 30th pick, and I don?t think it?s close.

Maybe for social media reasons.

What's the hoped-for return if we take him at #30 in hopes of trading him?

We really wouldn't have that much leverage unless we're willing to sign him to a rookie scale contract and keep him. If we aren't willing to do that (and we shouldn't be), then the Lakers could just call our bluff and not trade more value than the 30th pick. It sounds good in theory but I don't think it would actually work out well for us. We're better off taking a player with an actual future or trading back for current/future seconds than taking someone we have no intention of/interest in signing

It is taking a flyer on the chance that Lebron is leaving LA and wants his son with him. I think there?s a low percentage chance that happens.

I think there?s an even lower percentage chance that the Celtics find someone at 30 (in the weakest draft maybe ever) that plays for them.

Mogbo and Holmes II

Wouldn?t call them Binkys but only two that intrigue me as prospects long term with a reasonable fit.

The C's are not drafting Bronny and holding him hostage, that's some late seaosn game of thrones level nonsense.

What is the hostage part? Draft him, then trade him for something worth more than #30.

 He's the biggest power broker's son. He's worth more than a draft stash or some guy that sits behind Jordan Walsh.

What compensation would we receive?
