Who is your 2024 draft binkie?

[Celtics2021]

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?

Hood-Schifino fits into the remainder of the Grant Willliams TPE.  He was pick 17 last year, but missed a lot of the season and ended it with back surgery, so his value now is probably closer to 30.

Not my idea because Bronny is not ever going to be a viable NBA player and I?d rather not be left holding that hot potato if the Lakers aren?t interested.  But if the Lakers wanted him sort of badly, Hood-Schifino wouldn?t be a total price gouge.

[A Future of Stevens]

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

 

I actually don't get why the nba is this low on the guy. Is it just assumed he will get obliterated on defense? He is 24, but he could be a player.

ELITE shooter over 2 years for a big man? 43% on 3 3s a game over two years? 83% FT shooter?

Extremely coordinated 7'0 center that has phenomenal touch? Why not take a second round flier

It's unclear to me whether we can still use that TPE.

If it's pure draft compensation, there's no way we get a future #1.  If the typical value of #30 is two seconds, but Bronny gets us "extra", maybe three #2s?

I'd rather take the BPA.

How is their "no way to get a future #1"? The Lakers have been desperate to keep Lebron happy before (look at the AD trade). They're down and out again, fired another coach, and need to keep LBJ happy.

If the Lakers valued Bronny that highly, they'd just take him at #17.  But they don't, because nobody values Bronny like that. 

[SHAQATTACK]

No binkies, but if Edey falls and we pass on him I'll be disappointed.

Yup , me too

We d never be that lucky ,  so I just won?t put no emotion value into it happening.

[celticinorlando]

Big fan of Post. Would be someone that might get minutes with his size, maturity and shooting

I?m 99.9% sure we can use the TPE until the new league year starts, as that?s when the apron restrictions set in.  I don?t remotely expect us to use it, but it?s technically an option.

I think is a little slow footed but so much for a seven footer.  He's also an older player. You can't switch everything with him on the floor. I think he'd be a really good fit on offense during the regular season. I can't see him on the floor in the playoffs except maybe against certain teams ...

No, he's really not. If he was he wouldn't be available at #30. But who says the #30 will be a draft or stash or sit behind Walsh? Late first round picks can occasionally contribute.

In 2016-2022 a lot of decent players went in that 26-36 range:

2016:
Siakam (27), Murray (29), Zubac (32), Brogdon (36)
2017:
Kuzma (27), White (29), Hart (30),
2018:
R Williams (27), Brunson (33), Robinson (36)
2019:
Poole (28), K Johnson (29), K Porter(30), Claxton (31),
2020:
Pritchard (26), McDaniels (28), Bane (30), Tillman(35)
2021:
Thomas (27), Sharpe (29), Aldama (30), H Jones (35)
2022:
Jovic (27), Watson (30), Nembhard(310, J Williams (34)

Try to actually get a decent player rather than playing games.

Jaylon Tyson.

Went to CAL like Jaylen and almost same name.

Spells his name like Jayson T.

So he has to be the perfect combo of our two guys. Can't go wrong.

He's a younger, healthier version of Danilo Gallinari.  Can't be any slower than him!

If you saw Gallo play this year that doesn?t come off as much of an endorsement.

You might be right. This might be a good draft and we might get a rotation player. I hope that?s the case. I was working under the assumption that this was a weak draft.

It?s a weak draft at the top.  Incredibly weak.  It?s not unusually shallow, however, so the player quality around 30 will be similar to most years.  It?s the teams picking in the first 10 who are getting a raw deal.
