Everything 2024 Draft

[TomAmnot]

I'd really like to see at least one of our picks be a C. Should it be the 19th or the 31th? I don't know. Could Yves Missi be the rebirth of Christian Koloko?

[Joey]

Thanks to Demo for finding this X ... ... what does X call tweets now?

If he's there at 19, I could see Masai pulling the trigger, to everyone here's dismay. Lol

[grindhouse]

klintman and zach edey (he has a shot wtf)

please draft

[3inthekeon]

oh boy we going to see a lot of this aren't we

Not a lot as much as Collier. Many listed heights were shoes so shrink 1.25 - 1.75 inches. Not quite as many were less than 1 inch change. Klintman actually a half inch taller than his listed 6-8.

Here's some with 2" or more shrink though:

Stephon Castle listed 6'6", actual 6' 2.25" Even more than Collier.

Tyler Smith listed 6'11", actual 6' 8.75"
Dillingham listed 6'3", actual 6' 1"

Those numbers for Castle are reportedly wrong.

In high school he apparently measured in around 6' 4.5 w/o shoes.
I recently watched an interview with him standing beside Jim Jackson. He looked taller.
Jackson was listed at 6' 6 when he played.

Looks like the NBA pulled the measurements down from their website

That makes sense. What doesn't is a multi billion dollar business being so incompetent. SMH

Yeah those are Devin Carter's numbers. They messed up when recording who's measurements they were for.

He shoots a lot like Brook Lopez does. If he can shoot at a high 30's clip consistently at the NBA level its a game changer for him.

He's always had decent mechanics on his shot. Never understood everyone automatically shutting down the idea that he might be able to shoot.

I mean, good luck actually contesting it, even if you can close out in time.

Some people make up their minds and won't change it no matter what.

I don't know if Edey will be a good NBA player or not, but if he can shoot the 3 at a decent rate, it'll make him better and much more useful in today's game.

Yeah, he seems like he is fully capable of adding to his game despite the "advanced years" (lol). Will definitely help him have a more productive NBA career. I'd be interested to see how he did in the agility tests since most folks, including myself, site his ability to defend as his biggest weakness. He should be fine in the post, but anywhere outside of that seems like asking for too much.

Zach Edey is destroying the combine.

Zach Edey is destroying the combine.

Koloko got 2nd in 3pt shooting at the combine. Shot like 65%. These kinds of drills are meaningless. The only useful stuff that comes from the combine are the measurements.
