2024 NBA Draft Thread

ah ok, not familiar with his game.

 

This would make me throw up everywhere. I'd go for Matas or Cody.

 

Holland @ 3? Hahahahah

 

So exciting.

 

This could honestly be the end of @Mediocre Man

 

Why in the hell didn’t we draft HIM!!!!!!???

 

I would be pretty happy with Ja'Kobe Walter if he fell to the GS pick.

Solid size, can do a little bit of everything and comfortable shooting off the dribble and off movement.

Moses Moody/ Isaiah Joe type. More shit to him off the dribble than Joe but more of a pure shooter than Moses.

 

What's wrong with Holland?

 

He's a G-League star wing that is inconsistent as a shooter and makes some careless turnovers.

Can slash and is athletic. His IQ is so-so and due to him not being as good of a playmaker as he can be, he might become a ball hog. Has defensive potential.

I think he ends up being Gerald Wallace/Rudy Gay tier where he can hit 17-21ppg at his peak while playing defense but that's not really a Top 3 pick, especially if his shooting is limited. He's projected usually around 7-12.

There is room for guys like that but unless they have superstar potential written on them where they're able to creative as they move with the ball ala Amen or Giannis (or healthy Ben Simmons), I don't think he fits well in Portland.

 

He reminds me so much of Aminu coming out of college.

 

I really can't stomach another non shooter.

 

I’d rather roll the dice on Matas.

 

I don't know if he fits on the Blazers but he's absolutely near the top of the draft from a talent perspective. there are not a lot of players with above average upside in this draft—I think holland is easily one of them.

- one of the top athletes in the draft
- can apply rim pressure and will get to the line.
- high motor
- defensive upside
- fairly versatile skillset when compared against the other guys in the top 10.
- was the consensus #1 guy coming out of his high school class.
- played for a dogshit GLI program this year so could look a bit different outside of that context. (see lively last year in duke's dogwater program)

outside shot needs to come around but this critique applies to several of the guys in the lotto--even guys like risacher and cody closed the season pretty dicey from 3.

 

With the second first rounder if he's still available Kelel Ware could be a decent pick up. Good shooter, banger and has similar traits to Bam.

 

Didn't realize the Spurs are only one game back of us. Can they catch us?
