2023 NBA Draft Thread

[huskiesNhoos]

looking like no lottery pick for us this year...just hope it means a better fit for Hawk

 

[Tomahawk]

I'm a Hawks fan, so I hope they take Hawkins, and Atlanta can have 2 UConn boys lol

Vecenie on his live show saying that Whitmore's medicals may have flagged for some teams. Yellow flags not red flags, but there's something.

 

[caw]

Wow Orlando going Jett Howard over Hawk or Dick is wild.

Did Jordan buy part of Orlando after selling Charlotte?

 

[REB1094]

Picks are starting to get a little wonky so I think we've entered the part of the draft where anything can happen lol

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Wouldn’t mind Miami for Hawkins. He’d be a great replacement for Duncan if they decide to move him.

Would love to see him a part of Heat culture.

And if he's talking about it, it's a legit concern for teams

Derek Lively II? Horrible pick that early.

Derek Lively II? Horrible pick that early.

They need a rim protector. Plus, he seems like an absolutely tremendous kid.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Very cool to see them talking about the ways guys have been using their NIL money for good purposes on the broadcast. A lot better than the trauma that happens in years past.

I think he was talking about Whitmore with those tweets yesterday, but yeah, classy coverage.

Yeah, he has a ton of potential. He got better as the year progressed also.

Yeah he is a nice story but he could of been had if they dropped even further. Most people had him in 20-30 range and he doesn't have any offensive game. I understand the fit with Dallas but still think it is a reach.

 

[wingsfan055]

Celtics should move up and grab Hawk. I'd give up next year's 1-pick to get him. Hawk, Tatum and Brown would make a dynamic backcourt and wings.

 

[3rdbass]

I heard why Whitmore fell by why has Grady Dick fallen to 13th?

 

[caw]

That's fair, but I am not sure there are a to of teams willing to trade up at this point.

 

[upstater]

I'm on the ESPN page and already I don't even know several of the logos of the teams, and they don't list the name of the teams on the Draft cast so I don't know what is happening. Why did they change all these logos?

EDIT: Pelicans, Orlando, Toronto and Wizards gave me trouble.

 

[caw]

Jett Howard apparently showed Orlando something to put him above Dick and Hawkins. That and Dallas traded down and took Lively. They had a lot of holes to fill.

 

[auror]

Well let's see what the Pelicans do.

 

[navery12]

Yeah he is a nice story but he could of been had if they dropped even further. Most people had him in 20-30 range and he doesn't have any offensive game. I understand the fit with Dallas but still think it is a reach.

No they didn't, he was a late lottery pick to the late teens in nearly every single mock draft

 

[REB1094]

Gradey Dick going to Toronto means that Jordan Hawkins is the best shooter left on the board. Next few teams picking and their ranking last year in 3PM/game:

• Pelicans - 23
• Hawks - 26
• Jazz - 7
• Lakers - 24
• Heat - 19

Feels like a really good pick for any of those teams

 

[auror]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS. HAWK ON THE WALL. GIVONY THE GOAT.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

My wife has commented three times how awful that outfit is.

Make that 4 times…

 

[beerfan]

I am watching the traditional ESPN draft broadcast, during commercials switching to the ABC broadcast, Stephen A is unwatchable

 

[3rdbass]

Hawks really need a shooter to go along the 2 PGs they have in Trae and Murrary. Hopefully they do that and not a combo guard that draft predictions have had. That Boston series showed the need for another shooter.
