The Official 2022 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Dwight Howard]

I can't stand this dude

 

[Tha_Mac]

Rockets need Banchero

 

[Box Factory]

I just don't see it with Paolo

Actually that's not true, I do get it, hes very skilled, but with todays game, an iso big that doesn't have great range or defense going first?

I would still take Chet, but who knows with the report that report that hes refusing medicals. I still think he has the most complete and special skill set of the 3 bigs

Banchero’s motor also concerns me

I hope he "drops" to #3

I will admit I only watched the tournament and a couple other games but I get bust vibes. It felt like the majority of his baskets came from him being bigger and more physical than the guys he was going against which won’t be the case going against grown men in the NBA.

I think of how much of a beast Beasley looked like in college averaging like 20 and 12, and then he got to the league

I don't know so much about bust. I think he can do alot of things, and will put up numbers, but I think him going to Orlando or Houston would be locking themselves into treadmill status.


The Beasley comp makes sense. I think he has a better brain and legit size. Part of Beasleys problem was that he was always listed as 6'10 but turned out to be a 6'7 chucker


My own personal comps ( and they're terrible) are Millennial Chris Webber, or shorter Giannis with no defense and a different skill set ( this is a truly awful comp but it makes sense in my brain in terms of having no range and being a guy the offense has to go through)

So...Jabari Parker?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

So the Magic passing on Chet?

So the Magic passing on Chet?

They've been connected to Jabari Smith since the lotto

 

[SchoolboyC]

So barring trades at this point we pretty much know Orlando is taking Jabari, OKC taking Chet, Houston taking Paolo, Sac taking Murray & Detroit with Ivey?

 

[djthegreat88]

Gut tells me Chet going to be a bust in OKC. Just don’t like fit and think Chet will be a big project.

No one has a clue what Sacramento going to do. Could be Ivey, Murray, or a trade down

So...Jabari Parker?

I mean, I don't wanna turn into NBADraft.net here in terms of being the king of bad comps, but I feel like young jabari was far more wing-ish than a big like Paolo.

I'm sticking with my awful comps of new age webber and Giannis who is nothing like Giannis
