2024 NBA Draft Big Board 5.0! | Post Madness

[@therockneverstops8261]

I can see the draft moving more towards “ready” players (physically, IQ, skill) over potential. With the harder salary cap teams are less desiring to develop players versus cheaper players who can play a role immediately from Day-1.

[@hillbilly21960]

I agree. What does it matter if they are a senior if they wouldn’t be that good till their 3 or 4th year of pro. I think Knecht will be really good

[@andweback7759]

im loving what i see from devin carter too

[@planyrescape]

Depends on where in the cycle a team is. Bad teams have no reason not to gamble on upside. But I can see teams like Houston who are just starting to get in the going more for ready made players over projects, even if they might need more talent just due to the new salary rules

[@Justfrank_0]

That’s what the caves did in 2013 lol

[@Leo-nc3yx]

Obviously,since this class has zero to none star potential…

[@planyrescape]

Tidjane Saluan breakdown pleeeeaasseee. Ive seen him all over the place on various boards, and he seems really intriguing. Some team is going to take a big swing on him.

i think pacome dadiet could potentially be the best french guy in the class apart from sarr

[@andweback7759]

LETS GO i've been looking forward to this. Still trying to figure out how I feel about some of these prospects, I feel like the team workouts are gonna be so important this year to gauge where some prospects are at (eg. sarr's shot, topic's burst, ignite boys everything lol)

[@ITsATRAPPPP]

keandre stays at the top of the youtube scouting game. thanks for all your hard work man!

[@astrahl]

ESPN having Clingan in the top 3 just seems like it’s not right to me. Can’t get behind it. Such a weird draft

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

Probably a combination of click bait and March madness hype. Clingman could be a capable backup center but has zero upside. Good choice for a playoff team that needs a backup center.

[@BucsDucs99]

To be fair, none of these guys would be top 3 in a normal draft. Ultimately, someone has to be ranked high. Clingan feels like maybe the most pro-ready prospect in the class and drop coverage seems to be gaining in popularity this season even though everyone still likes the idea of an all-switching team.

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

@@BucsDucs99 it's a weak draft maybe it really is weak enough that Clingan is worthy. I just can't see it.

[@jacobbrockwell]

I’m hoping Daron Holmes somehow gets to the bucks in the first round. Love that he’s improved significantly each year and his mobility and versatility at his size. Just need to clean up the turnovers.

[@danielschomburg2140]

Practically the first big board top 10 that I can agree with for the most part.

[@VocalChainsStudio]

Great rundown, as always! Castle at 9 is great value, the most all-NBA potential I saw in the tournament. What is Portland going to do with picks ~3/14?

[@BreathingRoomx]

Everyone’s gotta love watching rob there’s no doubt he brings that smooth X factor that’s rare. But what will the defense look like at #3 when you’re matching up against dogs each night. Is his passing ability as a small guard like that to be #3 overall or is he more of a Jamal Crawford Lou will?

[@scottwickett1273]

Bench player, yes.

@bkelly625 you lost me at Justin edwards. Trying to figure out the difference between him and Chris Livingston’s Kentucky situation or Brandon Boston from the previous year. He would really benefit from another year of college.

[@bkelly625]

@@BreathingRoomx He is a slightly longer and more functional athlete than those guys and was more efficient overall and has a high pedigree since high school. He reminds me a bit of Patrick Williams who despite his ups and downs and injuries still should be a solid 3 and D forward going forward and in this draft I think that archetype could be valuable in the late teens or early 20s

[@Freebassbaby]

Grant Nelson showed his game enough for me

[@anthonysalvato6537]

Side note: Johni Broome is staying at Auburn

[@sportsandstuff99]

I'm nervous about Holland's lack of feel for the game with taking him that high. If you tell me just draft on the potential I can see it but I highly doubt he will ever be a 1st or 2nd, maybe even 3rd guy on an elite contender.

[@pitoseavy4523]

That's my only issue is his shot & if he can't improve he might be one of those bust players who's athletic but can't shoot

[@ricardo1546]

[@sportsandstuff99]

@@pitoseavy4523 I feel like he could work even as just a below average shooter. But if he doesn’t know when to cut, how to drive and kick, he will be a total bust

[@BreathingRoomx]

@@sportsandstuff99was Andre Iguadola ever an elite shooter early in his career? That’s Ron’s comp, If there’s one thing you can improve when you become a pro hooper it’s your jump shooting. The kid is 18 years old, damn near a year younger than most of the other top prospects. You can’t-teach a dog mentality people have that toughness or they don’t.

[@sportsandstuff99]

@@BreathingRoomx Iguodala had incredible feel for the game even at Arizona. Ive seen no proof that Holland thinks the game even at an average level for a guy his age. I like Ron's intensity but that can only get you so far. He has bad tunnel vision on his drives. Once he's locked himself into doing something he lacks creativity if that is shut off. If his comp is Iggy and there is still a long way to go, im just saying thats not somebody you take at the 2nd pick. High bust potential and the ceiling is a super high end role player, idk about that.

[@akinmalcolm-parker9668]

Why is Terrence Shannon not on your big board? Is it the legal stuff?

[@alwayslearningthefacts5881]

Sarr and Ware are the two best bigs

[@scottmuir6127]

Dillingham looks like a Donovan Mitchel, Terrell Maxey type player but with a 6’3” wing span he will be late lottery. Ron Hollander has good upside but I think Cody Williams shooting is better.

[@BreathingRoomx]

Go and watch Donovan Mitchell athleticism in college. Stop disrespecting d Mitch! Maybe you were trying to say Tyrese maxey which is more understandable . Donovan Mitchell is an athletic freak and has a crazy wingspan with vertical @scottmuir6127

[@UsualCase]

Love your content, but having Clingan over Risacher, Castle, and Williams makes ZERO sense to me. I also would love to see a playoff-ready team swoop in to grab Knecht, he was born for big moments! Ware’s talent and athleticism seems pretty unique as well. Furphy totally disappeared in the tournament, I’ll pass on him in the first round. Tyler Smith and Ryan Dunn both seem like they can contribute from day 1 on good teams if they shore up their weaknesses.

[@ear1dani31]

some have terrence shannon in the 1st round

[@Mana-nt3sh]

[@slamdunk2270]

The similarities between your big board and mine are disturbing... We must have very similar view on things regarding basketball. The main difference is that I have Tyler Smith and Daron Holmes much higher than you, Risacher much lower (even though I'm French myself).

[@markgold4660]

is it just me or does it feel like most of the players of this class fit the Miami Heat "culture" lol

[@markwillis614]

Love your stuff, HI, but I have to call out a bad take when I see one. Calling Tyon Grant-Foster the best player on the floor against Alabama is such a bad take. He might be the better NBA prospect, but Mark Sears was 100 percent the better player, both in that game and throughout the year as a whole.

[@FabulousResults]

Simply do not see it with Holland. The only G-League prospect in history who has worse shooting numbers than him (not just 3s, all jump shots) is Jonathan Kuminga. Even Scoot had better numbers, and he has really struggled to get his shot to fall in the NBA. Matas is also an extremely suspect prospect. He only converts 50% of his layups despite a pretty big height advantage over most players in the G-League and almost half of his shots in the regular season (148/317) occurring less than 5 feet from the rim.
