2023 NBA Draft Thread

He'd have been a Top 15 next year.

No he wouldn't have. You're being ridiculous.

We're getting to Sanogo range.

 

[auror]

Emoni Bates goes #49.

8 picks left for Sanogo.

 

[HooperScooper]

At this point is it better for Sanogo to not get drafted? Or would he probably get a two way contract in this range? As an undrafted free agent he can pick the best situation.

Think he would be OK on a few of the remaining teams.

Probably 2 way either way. But depends on landing spot for best spot for development and path to minutes.

He is built like UVA’s Ralph Sampson 7’4” . Three time College POY . Decent but injury prone NBA one .
Good luck going inside on the “ Full grown men in the NBA who all want to introduce him life in the fast lane .
As I use to tell my kids there are stupid fouls and those that serve a purpose only the first one is a sin .

Sampson was a little thicker. Wemby is built like Chet Holmgren...... but he is a much better athlete.

Not looking great. OTOH at this point sometimes it’s better to go undrafted and pick the best spot for yourself for summer league.

 

[BugsyCT]

Only 4 picks left.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Geez, you think you're generalizing a bit much? He definitely could have gone top 15 if he improved

If he became a 38% shooter from 3, averaged 18 per game, was a first team all American & kept his assist and rebound numbers up while removing all red flags from his knees…. He would have a shot. You’re right

 

[90BSEE]

Ouch. Not a great draft for us. Hawkins did well but, damn.

Sanogo can really show out during summer league to earn a spot on a roster. Going to be a lot of fun to watch our guys there.

 

[auror]

Sanogo goes undrafted.

 

[BugsyCT]

One pick left - Milwaukee.

 

[The Yakk]

I hope Sanogo ends up on Milwaukee, where he will pulverize Trayce Jackson-Davis into dust four times a year.

Basketball GM's are not nearly as smart as they think they are.

 

[3rdbass]

Sanogo not getting picked is a travesty.

 

[BugsyCT]

Dang.

 

[karstenkibbe]

Sanogo will have flexibility as a free agent, but man, I really wanted to see him selected. The guy has worked his butt off and just keeps getting better. Final Four MOP, added a reliable 3pt shot to his arsenal, insane footwork. If anyone deserved to hear his name called tonight, it was Sanogo.

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

wow was not expecting that - i feel bad for go-go

 

[UCTitleTown]

Isaiah Wong got drafted and Sanogo didn't. Something is wrong with that. I knew Livingston would get taken due to perceived upside. Maybe Sanogo's height correction turned some off. They underestimate his heart.

 

[Shamon30]

Has to be a gut punch for Adama. He'll prove the doubters wrong this summer. Amazing that an NCAA tournament MOP goes undrafted.

 

[UCTitleTown]

The NBA should let undrafted players return to school.

 

[The Yakk]

Feel bad for the idiot teams that could have picked him but didn't.

He will get signed by someone--will demolish their drafted players in preseason--and end up a fan favorite. I'm not worried about him.
