NBA Draft Prospects 2023

[festar35]

Taylor Hendricks is becoming one of my favourite prospects if we picking outside that Top 7. He is kind of like John Collins, only a better shot blocker & 3pt shooter, which is epic in my books.

Lmao Scoot about lost it...

[vnzla81]

He is so good

[Guest]

Hope Kings trade up to get him.

[CJ Jones]

Floor and Ceiling profiles are back. This dude's one of my favorite draft scouts.

[festar35]

I like Aaron Nesmith's playstyle at PF, the problem is he isn't big enough so I'd like to find a bigger version of him & in the draft Cam Whitmore looks to be exactly that. Listed at 6'7, 235lbs & near 7ft wingspan would certainly tick those boxes.

This is American Matas Buzelis. He's apparently projected to be the #1 pick in the 2024 draft. You can see why everyone expects it to be a crappy draft class. This guy's so mid, despite being a lifelong American born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, he's already committed to playing for Lithuania's national team because he knows there's no chance in hell he'd ever be good enough to play for Team USA.

So unless we're trying to get Bronny so we can get Bron, there's really no reason to sweat the 2024 draft. If you want to trade picks, trade them in 2024. If we don't take at least 3 of the top 32 players in this loaded draft class, we're morons.

To be fair, Paulo Banchero committed to the Italian national team, before playing a game in the NBA, despite spending his entire life in Seattle. Though currently hitting the wall, he looks like a potential franchise guy (Paolo that is, don't know much about Buzelis)

Agree that this is the draft to use your picks

If Brandon miller is still on the board when we draft, we need to take him. I think he’ll go at 3

I agree dude, Brandon Miller is a Top 5 talent for sure. He has been cleared of any wrongdoing with the shooting incident & executives have said it won't effect his draft status.

For our team if we don't get a Top 2 pick I'd say:

1. Brandon Miller
2. Jarace Walker
3. Ausar Thompson
4. Cam Whitmore
5. Taylor Hendricks


I'm also starting to like TJD more & more, his passing sounds legit. The thing is he needs to play in the post so I'd prefer a stretch-5 alongside him & Stix has more potential in that area than I-Jax.

If we’re stuck at 5 or 6, I wouldn’t mind trading our pick plus the Celtics or Cavs for the 3rd pick to get Miller

Absolutely this. We need to tank our hearts out and use every one of our picks this year then next year we can push for the play in or playoffs or anything we can since the 2024 draft looks miserable right now.

I'd try it as well, but it'd have to be the right team at 3 for them to be willing to do it. Houston + San Antonio might make that deal given they have wings & are more in need of guard like Amen Thompson or Cason Wallace.

Teams like Detroit, Charlotte, Orlando would rather have Miller.

Ppl in Lithuania think that this guy is second most talented Lithuanian bb player ever after Sabonis.....Arvydas Sabonis that is.
