Should I keep this thread open to talk specifically about the draft or the newly drafted players?  Don't want to keep it open if no one wants to discuss the draft.  Thoughts?
I think it's okay to keep it open for both topics.

There has been undrafted players but they got a two-way contract so this thread still fits them perfectly and of course, to those that has been drafted.

There's not that much attention for this year's draft but I think we just need to keep on discussing about them and the potentials of the draftees. The media hype isn't that much for them.

Weird to see that the player that everyone assumed would go highest, ended up going third in the draft. I am not saying that it's unlikely, that type of stuff happened before, so it is normal based on how scouting works and how players fit certain teams better than other players.

I think Spurs did something special, that one is the real pick that really shocked me and probably rest of the world as well. If you looked at the odds, Sochan wasn't even on the list for many, and the ones that did, had him going 20th+ or so in most cases. Dude going on 9th to Spurs really shows that they are committed to rebuilding, and not just mediocre play, like full on tanking rebuilding.

This was an odd year with the top 3 equally rated there was no clear cut number 1.  Like next year Victor wem is pretty much the 1 and then the rest (scoot Henderson can press for the 1 if he is lights out this year.)

Social had ratings starting at the 8 through mid teens I think he was always in the hunt for lottery.  At the power forward position as a freshman can guard spots 1-5, his floor is so high because of his defense.  If he grows his offense he could end up being one of the top players in the entire draft.  Was hoping he slipped to the Knicks too.

~ Well, that's it and I think the Rockets are now filled with freshmen with trades of that 1st round ending up to them. When we talk about the greatest overhaul of a team, this could be it.
Two sophomores Jalen Green and Sengun combined with a freshman Jabari Smith. Let's see what they can do when the game starts.
A team mostly in their (early) 20's is going to be exciting to watch. I think they will wreak havoc in the western conference and they won't be fearful of anyone Grin We'll probably see a lot high flying action from them (good for game highlights). With Wall and Schroder on the trading block/free agency, Eric Gordon (if not traded) might assume the PG role. He'll probably have fun passing lobs to these young guys.
Sure will. I think the Rockets have some big plans coming around, it may not be for next year but for their future. Nurturing these new guys and who knows they might find their gem in one of them.

I am glad wheelz1200 opened up a thread like this to focus solely on Drafted players. I mean this gives us the opportunity to recognize them more even with just a short amount of time that the Draft Pick event will happen. Unlike with the NBA discussion thread where the conversation is wild, it becomes confusing where it will go.  Cheesy But that is also why it is fun there.

That's why I wanted to open this one up.  The draft is always fun but in the other thread the convo will get disjointed. 

With that being said the Knicks traded away their first round pick and kemba walker a coue future 2nd rounders and got 3 first round draft picks in the future in return lol.  The Knicks have 4 first round picks next year what are they doing lol.

Looks like they are clearing capital to make a run at over paying jalen Brunson.  Not sure if I like that route.

Yeah and that's the luxury they got for now, and willing to great a great player in C Wood still very young at 26. But they still have another talent to develop in Sengun at that position and then Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. So we might see a lot of high and electrifying dunks and maybe some close out games too with this young guys.

That's what I also speculate on why the Rockets just gave up a good player in Christian Wood. But maybe they wanted Sengun to be their center and wait for him to developed together with the other guys in the roster. Jabari Smith though was being eyed as the 1st pick, but luck is on the side of the Rockets as Banchero first to the Magic and then Holmgren second to the Thunder.

Jabari Smith is one of the basketball players I'm most curious about in this draft and who I think has the highest potential. I think he's a good choice for the Houston Rockets.
The team will be more successful this year, the contribution of its young and quality players will be very valuable Smiley
I don't expect a lot of contribution from a rookie, we never know if they can carry their talent in the NBA. And also, the Rockets are still in the rebuilding stage, so success won't come so easy, they need to create good chemistry first, and it seemed like Christian Wood will be traded.

https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2022/6/22/23177184/analyzing-what-the-dallas-mavericks-are-losing-in-the-christian-wood-trade

Of course, a rookie may not be able to show their full performance in a short time, but the Houston Rockets have been a good team for young players to shine. We saw this with Alperen Şengün last year, she became an actress liked by many and we can say that she is getting better every day.
Jabari Smith's potential is quite high and I think if he doesn't have a problem, he may be one of the basketball players whose name we hear the most in the next 10 years Smiley

That's the problem with some rookies though, it's either they are a bust or not. Wood being traded means that they will go full on Alperen Şengün as their center. And they have a long of still young players being developed including Jabari Smith. So we will see how this rookies and sophomores will developed into a great player. So for now, let's hope that this breed of drafted players are names that we are going to hear because they are very good and not a missed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but none of the rookies in the past have made a big impact in the NBA yet. I'm talking about the same impact that Lebron, Kyrie, and Williamson impact on their rookie year after they got drafted. I don't want to expect a lot from these rookies, but I hope I'm wrong and they'll surprise me.

Oh damn, the house wins.  Grin Their blueprint was right for the 1st and 2nd pick. We as fans didn't expect that as there's a lot of talk about Jabari being the first pick considering the missing piece of the Orlando Magic. He ended up in the 3rd pick for the Houston Rockets.
Well, that's it and I think the Rockets are now filled with freshmen with trades of that 1st round ending up to them. When we talk about the greatest overhaul of a team, this could be it.

Orlando Magic take the first pick of the NBA draft and its Paolo Banchero from Duke. Paolo is a 6'10" forward and the 2nd Pick of the draft done by OKC is Chet Holmgren from Gonzaga University. Chet is a 7ft center. 3rd pick is Jabari Smith Jr. from Auburn University. Jabari is a 6'10" forward.

Sotto's odds have improved from 500 to 251, but of course, he has no chance to be the first pick.

personally, I have not followed the players that are in the draft pick now, but soon when they will be in the NBA, we will see if they are really worthy to play with the best teams. So my question here, is it worth to take Banchero for a 1.50 odds? Isn't it overvalued? considering there are plenty of potential players also to be a top pick?

There really are only 3 players in play for the #1 pick, Paulo, chet and Jabari.  With that being said Jabari and Paulo have such high floors and chet is an unknown because of how lanky he is.  I like Jabari with the #1, chet at the 2 spot (okc is real high on him) and Paulo at the 3 spot.  If I was going to bet it that's how I'd lay it in. 

Well, that seemed to be a good pick, so good luck with that man. At least we don't bet on what the bookie showed as the favorite on the number 1 pick.  Jabari is really a good choice for the number 1 pick, so I wish you get that one.

The first three teams to pick went for bigs but not at the order most people expected. Magic went for Banchero instead of Smith. Jabari was stolen by the Rockets. I don't know why why the Thunders passed up on him but a 7'0" Chet Holmgren with a decent J isn't that bad.

I think Heat also got a good one with Nikola Jovic.

Sotto's odds have improved from 500 to 251, but of course, he has no chance to be the first pick.
Slim chance even in round 2. Maybe next year's draft.

<...> I like Jabari with the #1, chet at the 2 spot (okc is real high on him) and Paulo at the 3 spot.  If I was going to bet it that's how I'd lay it in. 

^ This is exactly how i see the top three go.

Orlando won't take any chances with the first pick, instead, they'll go the safest pick possible, and that's Jabari. Sam Presti will be able to be more creative with his decisions with OKC having a ton of picks over the next couple of years, Holmgren fits in perfectly there. Houston might be onto something with Banchero, Jalen Green, and M. Porter Jr....i quite like the thought of those three playing together.

Picks 7 and 4 are probably the most up for trade but depending on where you are coming from its gonna take some weight to get to the 4 to have a shot at Murray or ivey. Unless you are one piece away from competing for a championship I'm usually reluctant to deal future firsts because you never know where they are gonna land and how bad it will hurt.  Can't wait.  Draft then summer league let's go!!! Lol

Blazers traded for J. Grant yesterday, i won't be surprised if they deal the 7th pick, if of course, the right deal presents itself. Dame will be 32 in a few weeks, Shaedon Sharpe will probably be available at 7, maybe they draft him and look for the future instead?

We all know what the Kings will do, they will fuck up again. Take Ivey and then trade Davion or Fox, just like they did with Haliburton... Cheesy
