Re: NBA Draft 2023

Even though ESPN TV draft coverage is always a disaster. I don’t get why anyone would want to see the picks on Twitter Instead of watching it on tv. It may even be hurting tv ratings

Those same people are probably the ones looking for spoilers on tv shows/movies before watching it.

Re: NBA Draft 2023

We don’t care about the pomp and circumstance, we just want to know who’s on what team. It’s the same reason people don’t watch awards shows and just look up who win afterwards. Its a waste of time.

Re: NBA Draft 2023

I thought Brandon Miller would lock into number pick. Odd makers are saying Scoot is number 2 pick now.

Just seems like a log jam at the Guard position for either Blazers or the Hornets

Re: NBA Draft 2023

The NBA should of made it where you have to be in college for 2 years like the NFL
Because the the problem now is the NBA Draft talks about trading veterans for draft picks more than the players in the draft most people don't even know any player after the 3rd draft pick they need more depth in the draft like the NFL

Huh?.... I'm completely confused

Re: NBA Draft 2023

I think he means nobody watches the players in the draft so you don't have the connection to them like you do in football. A lot of the top prospects in the draft go overseas or G league where only the super hardcore can watch the.

Even if they go to college its one and done so a 2nd year would allow the fans to start to get to know them. You still have players declaring early for the draft (2nd round types) when they can make more $ in college.

Pacers are trading No. 29 and 32 overall picks in 2023 NBA draft to Nuggets for No. 40 and a 2024 first-rounder - Woj

Re: NBA Draft 2023

A very smart move by Denver to bring in some cheap players and the hopes of finding some more role players for the bench.

@wojespn

As the Nuggets prepare for possibility of losing Bruce Brown in free agency, they'll be drafting at No. 29, 32 and 37 on Thursday with a chance to keep gathering up young role players for this championship window. GM Calvin Booth picked Christian Braun at No. 21 last year.

Agree they have a great core. Another well seasoned player like Jaime Jaquez, Andre Jackson or Julian Strawther. These kinds of defense first type players with experienced runs in the tournament.

Orlando talking about trading Suggs or Anthony if they draft a guard [emoji23]

That doesn’t surprise me at all. Curious what they’d get for either of them. I really have no read on how I think teams would value them but they’re both young and kinda intriguing.

Re: NBA Draft 2023

For the purposes of wanting to be able to come back to this later, posting my personal top 30 here. Listing consensus big board rankings in parentheses.

• 1. Victor Wembanyama (1)
  2. Scoot Henderson (3)
  3. Brandon Miller (2)
  4. Leonard Miller (20)
  5. Cam Whitmore (6)
  6. Amen Thompson (4)
  7. Jarace Walker (7)
  8. Gradey Dick (10)
  9. Anthony Black (8)
  10. Cason Wallace (14)
  11. Taylor Hendricks (9)
  12. Ausar Thompson (5)
  13. Kobe Bufkin (13)
  14. Brandin Podziemski (24)
  15. Brice Sensabaugh (27)
  16. Derrick Lively (11)
  17. Jordan Hawkins (17)
  18. Jaime Jaquez Jr. (25)
  19. Sidy Cissoko (38)
  20. Jalen Hood-Schifino (16)
  21. Bilal Coulibaly (12)
  22. GG Jackson (32)
  23. O-Max Prosper (23)
  24. Marcus Sasser (34)
  25. Julian Strawther (41)
  26. Seth Lundy (48)
  27. Andre Jackson (35)
  28. Kobe Brown (44)
  29. Maxwell Lewis (29)
  30. Jett Howard (18)

Some guys I purposefully left off:
Dariq Whitehead (26)
Nick Smith (19)
Keyonte George (15)
Noah Clowney (21)
Kris Murray (22)

Particularly with Nick Smith and Keyonte George, I'm just kinda out on guys that don't bring much to the table outside of theoretical scoring and struggled to score efficiently in college. I'd just rather let other teams take those guys. I know Smith in particular was playing through injuries, but it's just not a risk I'm willing to take.

Not sure if I have any other glaring omissions but I might.
