2023 NBA Draft Omega Thread

I mean, even with his "bad medicals" the dude was jumping out of the gym so it's not like he was really bothered by whatever it was like Whitehead was.

Could be a health thing though too. Although you'd think he'd be disqualified if that were the case.

Damn, the draft snuck on me so bad this year! Who's the most athletic true PF available?

Not a true "4" but Cam Whitmore. Unless he has chicken legs.

This is actually a pretty bad big man draft. But Noah clowney fits the athletic PF bill

The Kings can afford a project with health issues, much like Denver did with MPJ. If the risk/reward is there, I would go fort it.

 

[sactowndog]

We need a 3. Let Keegan play 4

 

[KainLear]

JHS is a good pick for the Lakers. Considering they are going to lose a few of their guards potentially...

 

[Tetsujin]

3 and 4 honestly are so interchangeable at this point I'm not sure it matters that much.

Jaime rises from the second round to the middle of the first round. Perfect for the Heat. My lord. Pat Riley does it again.

Wouldn't surprise me at all looking at his track record overall.

 

[Tetsujin]

On the other hand, my Brice/Strawther at 38 gambit is picking up steam.

Or, like every draft, everyone we want ends up being picked in the next three picks.
