The Wizards will get the #2 pick and draft Scoot. I'm speaking it into existence now.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Almost missed that this said 23-24.

So are the only 2 guys they have for next year Scoot and Miller?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Next draft class will be special

 

[Blue Mamba]

Interesting how many people claim to not watch college basketball but have knowledge about every pick

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Only watch the interesting prospects and then there’s always hours of HD highlights you can watch these days on even late first prospects

One of my favorite occurrences in here yearly are the casual fans who don't follow the draft or prospects at all randomly choose which rookie they're going to stan

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Would like to see his numbers from the second half of the season, apparently he started catching on and improving

 

[HOU$TON]

2023 class will be Krazy.

In light of yesterday’s disappointment I have accepted that we need Jabari. Rockets needed defense and 3pt shooting badly. Plus no mental gymnastics trying to make Banchero/Sengun work defensively.



6’10 Klay Thompson

 

[B Sox]

Big fan of this.

Not surprised Hardy slipped, his season was legit terrible…Good thing for him tho is the Mavs don’t need what he’s supposed to be good at right away so a chance to learn n develop a lil bit in the background

Unless they had some of the greatest workouts of all time...there's no way someone can explain how guys like Baldwin, Watson, Houstan, Christie, etc. more than struggled in college and somehow are still valued higher than a guy that would have gone top 10 had he simply sat the season out.

When I look at the film and the numbers...I'm not sure why we're grading Hardy a bit harsher than those other guys when he played in a league of professionals

Peyton Watson looked like he completely had no idea what was happening on the floor in the Pac 10. The 12 games Hardy played in the G-League were not that bad IMO to go from lottery to 37. Has to be something on the back end that teams didn't like.

EYE feel the Knicks always be releasing PR statements after drafts.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Damn. I guess Mo Bamba already knows his fate

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Got lost in the shuffle but another crafty guard I liked in college

 

[pums]

Gradey **** is a wild name

Didn't Stanley Johnson say something similar to LeBron?

Same thing with high school ball. My high school basketball thread failed because people said they didn’t follow it but I always see people talking about recruits like they watched every game. It doesn’t bother me, but it’s very interesting.

 

[ill steelo]

Damn this is wild disrespectful

 

[pmatic]

I heard on a pod yesterday Mo Bamba was planning on changing his number anyways (if he stays), but yeah suspicious.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

They did the same thing last year when Franz Wagner got drafted. They gave him his brothers' number while he was still a FA but he eventually changed his

 

[frshstunna]

It’s best for both Bamba and Orlando to part ways anyways…Same with Isaac, just gotta chalk up 2 failed lotto pics
