2023 NBA Draft Thread

Grady Dick looks like Brian Boitano with the glitter outfit.

For anyone that watches Righteous Gemstones, I can’t not see BJ.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Heck yea. So happy for the kid.

 

[Hunt for 7]

The Hawk will fly!

 

[WhereistheDove?]

What a likable dude…

 

[mauconnfan]

Congrats Jordan and best of luck!!!

Is that good or bad for Hawkins?

They didn't trade Zion, so it's very good. He'll probably be off bench to start, but they really needed a guy like him.

Why is cam dropping

 

[UConnSwag11]

Better at marketing than the AD

Is that good or bad for Hawkins?

It's not horrible, a lot depends on off-season and health for that team. They have a ton of young guys, even at the two. Honestly they probably need a PG more than a SG.

That said, Josh Richardson is a free agent I believe and he was their main backup SG. I think they started Trey Murphy and also have Daniels who can play the SG spot. If they get a PG, McCullum also could play SG.

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

Steven A is BY FAR the least watchable personality on TV. Any context………

 

[TheHorde]

Would love Andre to go in the first round and Adama to go early in the second round to a great spot for him.

 

[AdamaNation]

Would a shot at adama be a no brainer?

[Waquoit]

That's a lottery pick!

 

[wingsfan055]

Hawk will get PT, but NO is a borderline dysfunctional organization.

 

[3rdbass]

This is super weird

Rumor is some injury concerns.

[MJ1]

This is super weird

Some concerns on his medical’s from past injury.

 

[REB1094]

For the third consecutive year, UConn has the highest NBA draft pick from all Big East teams

 

[kobe]

number of players selected in the top 10:

aac (league of good teams)- 2

big east (church league mid majors)- 0

Did people see what Bilas said about Hawkins? He had him rated 20th, and compared him to Kyle Korver on defense. I have lost some respect in years as Bilas always come as a little too full of himself but now he isn't really watching college that much by that remark. While Hawks isn't an elite defender he is good and getting better defender. He is certainly better than Kyle Korver on defense.

That comment was gross and beneath him. Not sure if he didn’t watch enough UConn ball or has some hateraid in the veins.

Nice rookie scale salary at $3.2 million for Jordan with the 14th pick.

Big congrats.

He is an ACC homer

Did Houston split their team into 2 squads, if not, I have no idea who that 2nd team would be.
