The Official 2024 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[triplehate]

I think the trades tonight will be more exciting than the draft

That's every year

 

[Bigblackted4]

it really is remarkable just how bad this draft class is being regarded. how stacked is 2025?

So I'll give you the top Americans and comps I've seen for them
Cooper Flagg- Tougher White AD
Dylan Harper- James Harden
Ace Bailey- TMac/Paul George
Vj Edgecomb- Smaller Jalen Green/Zach Lavine

I think if they show similar to what they have been in high school they all would go 1 in this draft.

 

[Bigblackted4]

It’s only bad at the top like Sheppard and Clingan as top 3 picks is crazy …but in any other draft a guy like Devin Carter going between 8-10 would be in line with any other normal draft.

This is weak in a “idk who is going to be a star” way.

Last year Bilal Coulibaly went top 10 and he’s every bit of the project Salaun is .


2025 looks to be crazy

Coop,ol’boy in France that’s killin,those Jersey boys

This is not true at all. Bilal showed defense and feel for the game Salaun could only dream of.

Salaun reminds me of Kevin Knox

Presti about to draft another guard for no reason

 

[Nostalgic]

Any reason why Alex Sarr didn't do a workout for the Hawks?

 

[DetroitEWarren]

What's the chances Sarr goes #1? That shyt +1000 I might drop a few on that shyt if it's possible.

Damn, I didn't know this. Good looking, I was coming here to see what was the possibility he can go 1.

It was recently brought up on NBA Today. Perk asked him the question, Sarr danced around it.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Perk has been disrespectful all day in regards to Bron/Bronny

 

[Bigblackted4]

Salaun reminds me of Kevin Knox

Man that’s actually an incredible comp

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

I’m convinced Buzelis isn’t going at 5 …and if he does that’s an ownership call.

Too much stuff has come out .

If the pistons take Knecht imma need to buy a new TV tomorrow

My hot takes from watching about ten minutes of total footage of some of the top guys on the board.

If this draft is as trash as it's assumed, I like Risacher as the top guy. Looks like he has Mikal Bridges potential with maybe a little more athleticism.

Sarr has massive bust potential; perfect guy for the Wizards.

How is Reed Sheppard not Jimmer Fredette 2.0? Can't believe he's projected to go third.

I still don't get the Clingan love. Maybe he's a solid back-up big. I'd rather have Edey.

Stephon Castle...maybe being a competitive dog is enough. He doesn't really jump off the screen besides having great size for a point guard. Probably be like all those Nova guys who might start slow in the NBA but continually gets better every year until he's just a really good player. Or maybe he's Kris Dunn 2.0.
