2023 NBA Draft Omega Thread

[206Fan]

Yeah, that must have been a long (checks notes) two years for Bruins fans.

To be fair, that’s 10 years in Steve Alford

Jesus Christ. Did Monte leak that he's taking Leonard Miller to the local media or something? Everyone on the bandwagon.

How many forwards do they need?

 

[KainLear]

They went from having KD, Harden, and Kyrie to drafting mid-firsts for fun. This is all they have.

They came in like a...

They're going full Raptor. No one should ever go full Raptor.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I would not remotely hate Leonard Miller

This is definitely the most relaxing draft as a Kings fan in the last 17 years

Safe pick would be Kris and in character for Monte. We shall see what happens

Upon some 3 minutes of “research” …. Seems intriguing.

"He got a great 2nd jump..."

Sent shiver down my spine for a second there...

 

[NewArena]

We've come a long way from our GM accidentally revealing his draft board during a photo op after signing Gabe Vincent to a Stockton Kings contract

the pain ...

Hard disagree! I’m feeling anxious about this pick

In their defense, Clowney's tackle of the Michigan RB in the Outback bowl was something else.

Odds are that pick doesn't get much time on the floor next year anyway. So, nothing to fear, plenty to be mad at once the seasons starts, haha.

I love the idea of taking Keegan's brother but i'm rooting against it because it'd be hella confusing

If the Kings play the draft right, the rookie should be playing at least 15-20mpg in my opinion. I see a couple day 1 contributors

 

[KainLear]

Dariq Whitehead is the next Brooklyn pick...

 

[Tetsujin]

After picking Noah Clowney at No. 21 via the Kevin Durant-Suns trade, Nets are selecting Dariq Whitehead at No. 22: https://t.co/Z8rZKX2Rl3

ALL THE WINGS ARE IN BROOKLYN

 

[KainLear]

It is all setting up for us to take Kris. Is it bad form if we don't pick him here?

 

[sactowndog]

Damn Nets taking Whitehead. That team is all wings WTF

 

[Sluggah]

Take Kris, use Keegan in a trade to get another star, but secretly send Kris in a Keegan jersey. 4D chess.

 

[Spike]

Ouch.

 

[Tetsujin]

If Portland is committed to the rebuild, they're probably going Leonard Miller. If they're committed to Dame, it's gonna be Kris. Man.

 

[Tetsujin]

Leonard Miller
Olivier-Maxence Prosper
Kris Murray

Depends on what position they play and who is on the roster next year. The C spot is the only one that kind of have some level of opportunity. If Sasha comes over and Barnes comes back or they sign a win now wing then the F spot is pretty much handled. The minutes have to come from somewhere.

 

[The_Jamal]

Miller, Murray or O-Max. Kings walk away with a real nice exciting prospect.

 

[206Fan]

Whitehead would’ve been amazing here…. Welp, luckily we still have great options. Going to turn off the spoiler for these next couple picks!

I think you are underestimating having twins and how much we can switch their jerseys to keep them on the court. Imagine refs giving 12 fouls to the same player...
