2024 NBA Draft Thread - the hawks might be on the clock

[nick.]

Jarrett Culver

 

[Quincy McCall]

Tried real hard to talk myself into Culver over Barrett but I can't

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Jarrett Culver is clearly taller than 6'5.

 

[nick.]

LOVE Culver. He shouldn't fall out of the top 5.

I can. He's the goods.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I can. He's the goods.

Barrett was your boy

 

[nick.]

I can. He's the goods.

Barrett is more athletic but Culver's athleticism is more suited for the NBA imo, if that makes sense. Idk what to call it.

Functional athleticism?

With only one 3rd pick to use...

I’m pretty sure if you pull my receipts I do surprisingly well. But you can believe whatever you want to believe.

My scouting A1. Hell just go couple pages back I pulled up my receipts just because some other dude questioned my ****.

60% of the time I’m right everytime.

Sheesh Zion

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Zion different

I’m taking Culver over Barrett no hesi. Carried Tech in the middle of the game. Hit some tough shots when Northern Kentucky was hanging around. TTU clamps down and beats Buffalo next round.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Hot take from the block but I'm taking Langford over Reddish. Love seeing all these columns about him returning

Romeo ain't coming back to IU. He gains nothing from a sophomore season in Bloomington. I get Langford is getting knocked for a perceived hitch in his shot and passiveness. Some say he doesn't have enough 'dog' in him. But Romeo will still go lottery, if not top 10. Unwise to turn down lottery money. We've seen it in the past.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Morant murdering these 3’s where the defender goes under the screen. 3/3. Damb

 

[gaiiige]

wow Jontay Porter re-tore his ACL

 

[ballinsam23]

terrible luck in the Porter family

Just quoting this entire passage for emphasis. Completely agree, well said.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

As weak as this draft is, Atlanta possibly getting the 5th and 6th picks is

Assuming they keep both picks, any 2 of Culver, Hunter, Johnson, Reddish, KZ, Langford or Alexander Walker would be

Pick up at least another scorer and a versatile defender

 

[ballinsam23]

Man if Dallas keeps the pick that team will be

As I Knick fan idk if I’ll be able to take that

Hope the Hawks keep it, RYC for real.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I should have set my sights higher for ATL, they could possibly end up with 1 and 6

Zion and a scoring or defending wing

Zion and Culver my personal favorite fit with ATL at the moment but any of those guys I mentioned would be

I am irrationally high on Walker but I see the Afflalo comps... I am more optimistic and on the Malcom Brogdon or Gary Harris type projection

 

[VARNELL HILL]

That has to be a serious case of overtraining for the Porter family. I knew the one sister had 5 acl tears and had to retire...but I didn't know the other one tore hers too.

 

[pums]

5 acl tears fam??

I knew a serbian guy who retired from ball after 3 acl’s in 4 years
