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

Was Vince Carter the last UNC All Star ?

Rasheed Wallace

what would be considered a gamble on an injured prospect? lottery pick? it's usually the late rds where teams who are already in playoffs can take a reach on someone injured
would a bad team be willing to draft him early?

i'd say lottery for sure.

Porter hype feels Hezonja-like

A lot of us were high on him coming out of hs, USC was just a mess in multiple ways but I wanna see the kid be as nice as I thought he’d be.

Can Ja shoot?

anyone can improve their shooting stroke in the pro league. unless you're lonzo.

 

[suavamente]

Ja seems like a way more polished DSJ to me

There's some Rondo in Morant's game

There's some Rondo in Morant's game

This is one I agree with the most more than anything. Don’t see many people saying it because of Rondo’s lack of offensive game, but strictly in terms of playmaking Morant reminds of Rondo.

I see him at least being an elite level playmaker in the league. Not worried as much about his stroke as he’s shot 81% from the line and improved his 3PT% from freshman to sophomore year. Nothing that alarming. My main concerns are turnovers and ensuring he can finish at the rim in the NBA. I also hope he doesn’t come in undersized compared to his listed 6’3. Hearing he may be shorter.

Is Brian Bowen gonna get drafted? Forgot all about that dude. Looked up is numbers from AUS and they were pedestrian.

Ja is a more athletic/better playmaking Dennis Schroder.

Ja is a more athletic/better playmaking Dennis Schroder.

Then how is he Dennis Schroeder?

 

[j rain]

Then how is he Dennis Schroeder?

Same frame, identical jumpshots, similar play style.

 

[MajinZuub]

Morant is closer to Fox than Schroder

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Morant is closer to Fox than Schroder

Wonder who he would be if he had cornrows.........

Then how is he Dennis Schroeder?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I feel about Bol Bol the way I felt about Porzinings, at some point 7'2 dude who can move, shoot and likes playing basketball can't fall outside the top 5.

like you can talk about injuries fears or whatever, but at some point you gotta roll the dice on that.

Ja Morant is a skinnier, more athletic Raymond Felton who can score and playmake.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Shroeder is and was fast, but was not an explosive vertical leaper like Morant. also not a high level passer like Ja.

 

[carolinakickg]

Ja Morant is a skinnier, more athletic Raymond Felton who can score and playmake.

Felton was solid playmaker in college. Couldn’t get up near as high or quick as Morant. Agree with you there obviously.

Is my man pulling a Caner-Medley / Gottlieb with the shorts on backwards?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Then how is he Dennis Schroeder?

The same man that coined Australian Rondo for Simmons

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I think we should all stop pretending like we can predict who is going to learn to shoot 3's and who isn't.
