The Official 2024 NBA Draft Talk Thread

I’m torn

I love Castle’s defense

But I don’t buy his shot

And then there’s Reed Sheppard



And he got tons of steals

@Blackrogue

I watched castle shyt in high school go against ron Holland squad. He had damn near 50 but he was getting to the line a lot. Its funny cause he was scoring in high school but now people are questioning his offense and just based off high school I think he can come around. But I haven't watched his college tape. Reed Sheppard on the other hand undersized but I remember a quote by JJ reddikk on when he went to watch them. yes Dillingham was cooking, but he said Reed just controlled the game.

I am curious how the front office goes about it. I do believe in them and believe front offices fukk up because ownership puts pressure to make sensible picks. But if you let them just do what they want, there's multiple possibilities. Especially with us at the second pick. So I have been doing deep dives but i'm like you know what. Let me let them cook otherwise i'll drive myself crazy for the next five weeks.

I'm not against castle as a pick. Or Reed. I'll let the front office do their due dilligence and they are better basketball minds than me. But I still go when there was cheap gets like GG jackson I was interested in who didn't get picked. I do love Tristan Vukcevic though

I believe in the value of the draft and I think we should get as many picks as possible instead of spreading them out over multiple years. When I heard we are still looking for other first rounders I was happy about it.

I actually wouldn’t mind Clingan.

Holland is getting a bad rap. He’d be a solid addition.

 

[Blackrogue]

I’m leaning Topic or Castle for the Wizards

I don’t like the Risacher hype.

Vecinie picked apart Risacher when it came to his footwork when it came to shooting. Had me going

Said he been having the same footwork issue for like a year plus. And this is someone with a full time group of trainers. But He still might be good based off work ethic and results

The thing I love about Holland is his motor and he plays with FORCE/ physicality
Like he was moving people with his body

Rockets up @who_better_than_me

@lightskin jermaine @Remote @Da King Spurs up

Risacher would be my pick here

@VBM @BodieBroadus @duckbutta @AlbertPullhoez

If he's there I'd go with him. I'm a huge fan of Dillingham though

I'm going Dilli. We desperately need a guard who can break down defenses. We don't have one on our whole roster .

Aint no way I can suffer through another season of Branhim and Wesley getting half the point guard minutes

 

[VBM]

Risacher as well for my Spurs...after RC and Pop had to drag me kicking and screaming from the phone while I tried to trade the picks.

Prolly second this. Torn a bit with these two.

I'll put it this way. Dilly could still potentially be there at 8. No way Risacher would drop that far. Gotta go BPA.

I get the castle love. If he's a lead guard he could maybe be something unique. If he's not, I dunno what he is and there's 100 guys like him in the Gleague. He's an interesting topic

I don't see it with Read. He could be a super useful piece, but if I'm at the top of the draft and trying to get a guy, I'm going Dillingham, Topic, and tbh probably collier before him.

The Reed Sheppard thing is mindblowing to me
A 6-2 shooting guard that doesn’t have a good handle going top 3???? But then Mccain,Jakobe Walter and Devin Carter in the teens ? The gap
In talent don’t seem that big between them

Castle looks like Emanuel Mudiay,Frank Nickles,DSJ without bounce .

But if his shot develops he probably could be pretty decent .

On a sidenote it’s a damn shame what ESPN did to Givony/Draft Express .
