Overreacting to the 2024 NBA Draft

Steph Castle is a beast! He looks poised and measured on the floor. And I have yet to see him smile once.

[@blablablaa14]

Not even after he postered a guy in his first game

[@JStack]

Giving Dejounte Murray vibes. Spurs know how to draft lol

[@WHITEPERSUAS1ON]

If he can be an all star, that might be all Wemby needs for them to contend 😭

[@plsstoptalking]

Bro them UConn dudes be prepared for the league

[@Andrewjs2187]

From an IQ and personality POV, I think Castle is going to be a real problem really quickly for the NBA. Fearlessness + Patience/Control = rare and dangerous combo

[@kyleshuler2929]

For real. He honestly reminds me of a young Dale Fontleroy.

[@alecbernal3824]

The last time CP3 had a protege like that it turned into SGA..

[@blablablaa14]

It doesn't hurt he is a giant for the NBA at 6'6 PG. The size discrepancy with Castle/Wemby on one team is crazy

[@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS]

the marcus smart comp is super real

[@kaleb2758]

​@@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERSand hes even bigger! him and wemby are gonna be rly hard to stop

[@DefoqqMMA]

These rookies look better than expected

[@lee9315]

I never followed the narrative that this class would be one of the worst. I’m not sure there are any superstars in the making but a lot of the guys are gonna have solid nba careers

[@nathanielb4985]

No actually. Anyone that thought it was a draft full of role players are actually just really stupid

[@gluestick5759]

People misconstrued what this draft was weak as- people assumed 2000 with essentially no talent period but it was always just a draft without a superstar tier propect and a ton of high level role players and some potential all stars. Especially with all the upperclassmen in the first round, it was bound to be a class with a lot of guys that impact winning as soon as they come into the league

[@UpNextSiah]

i feel it’s because there is no “All-nba/Hall of fame bound” gauranteed draftees here but there all solid nd do what they do good, they have there flaws but definitely their strengths and poised.

[@JStack]

@@gluestick5759yeah you can even just Google 24 NBA draft talent level and it’s mostly posts talking about how there may be no Zion, but a lot of oladipos and that picks down to 15 could get good minutes in the league first year. The terrible draft narrative only came from low info BS like ESPN and FOX in which case it’s literally their job to post fluff and not facts

[@ABCDjjw]

If this Salaun 3 ball sticks all year he legitimately has ROTY upside, him being good right away puts the “if LaMelo/Mark stay healthy watch out” ceiling scarily high

[@adffasfafsasfasfafs1533]

If tidjane keeps growing as fast as he has so far he may be a starting caliber player by the end of the year

[@graysonbaker9053]

loving how steph castle is looking so far, as a spurs fan

[@vomv0m]

I'm still fucking gutted that our rookie (DaRon Holmes II) tore his acl in the summer league bro seamed to be the prototypical 4 who has that athleticism that we need since zeke nnaji aint cutting it

[@dillamadukes21]

bro, it was the achilles which is MUCH WORSE than a torn acl at his age😟

[@HoopsAficionado]

The one thing Rissacher has going for him is that he'll be starting. He'll get a good number of opportunities to knock down catch-and-shoot threes playing alongside Trae Young. If he does well, he might even take home the Rookie Of The Year award.

[@blablablaa14]

I wouldn't be convinced he's starting because Hunter is still a way paid guy, often times that overcomes even being picked high, especially with how low people are on Risacher, its easy to put him in the bench for the Hawks. So he will need to be good immediately. The Hawks are doing the opposite of tanking which is the situation that most number 1 picks go into

[@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS]

i think edey has an even better shot at roty, his job is a lot easier and his role is super streamlined and hes got a lot of exp being an older rookie run pick and rolls with ja, catch lobs, use his footwork in the paint to be efficient around the rim, and then do normal 7 foot center stuff on defense with marcus smart and JJJ to help out as strong defensive presences rissacher is prob gonna be a better player longterm (switchable 3&D wing is a more valuable archetype than traditional big man esp with how much younger zach is) but edey is in such a nice position cuz memphis really shouldnt be a lottery team but were due to missing ja for a whole year

[@ern23]

@@blablablaa14​definitely think he’ll be coming off the bench until he outplays hunter (arguably has already) but it’s crazy to think a number one pick doesn’t start immediately

[@JSPRKL]

@@blablablaa14 Hunter is indeed way paid, but he is not very good. ATL thought enough of ZR to take him first and I fully expect him to start at the 3 and Hunter will come off of the bench.

[@blablablaa14]

@@JSPRKL I just feel like if they bring Hunter off the bench he will be very mad, and cause a lot of discontent in the locker room. Which is why I think he will be starting

[@Jasonwilliams21]

Most rookie coverage in all the nba . Well done

[@tonyaldante1017]

Shout out Tyler Kolek

[@outtatime9836]

If Salaun can make that jab step three into a late clock rythrm shot, with his frame that’s going to be a problem for defending him

[@suedebx0]

No Tyler Kolek is crazy.

[@AaronTats]

Hope you get to watch Tristan Da Silva soon. I think he could be in Orlando's rotation rather early.

[@blablablaa14]

He is so so good. Magic looking to take a leap with defense and shooting

[@marcol9932]

he just seems to make the right play reminds me of Trey Murphy

[@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS]

@@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERSit’s the Lebron method. shooters and defense plus a generational point forward has always seemed to work well in the post season

[@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS]

@@ethanbaileylol2283 yeah id like to see paolo even potentially do stuff as a p&r ball handler like lebron did in the bubble assuming he can continue to elevate his game season by season, if hes capped lower than we think id rather him just be a more normal bruiser forward than take on additional offensive load as an offensive engine

[@DakotaCMartin]

Very excited for Reed as a Rockets fan. He has had some rookie jitters at times, but he has also somehow looked confident as well. He should fit very well with a Rockets team who desperately needed shooting last year, and still might this year.

[@mbag4]

Nice review of he's going to be a beast this season, a real threat!

Kid got game i saw him in the Charlotte game .... i can't wait for the rematch

[@Biid21]

He’s trash like the filthy Knicks

[@dillamadukes21]

I've been making the bigger, more athletic Marcus Smart comparison for months and spurs fans have been lighting me up like it's somehow an insult. Having an all defence guard that can cover positions 1-3 and get to the foul line is a great outcome. He'll be a great role player for the team.

[@joshuaadams-ri2su]

Reed just need more minutes he’ll get better the more opportunities he gets

[@WHITEPERSUAS1ON]

Reed looks hype. I think they need to design plays for him (hard for him to get an open 3) and let him be the lead ball handler when they can. In the first game, they deferred more to Whitmore and Tari for some reason?!?

[@patriotpatriot1111]

Reed Sheppard is looking like a young CP3. GREAT floor general.

[@timgraham8544]

Another vid with more teams please! I want Dhalsom teams

[@mistermousterian]

Clingan looked polished.

[@michaelbietsch2864]

man, Daron Holmes would have made people look silly for not drafting him

[@Moss_Head21]

Another rookie to look at if he plays is Tyler Kolek his impact when Brunson is off the floor is night and day from how there was no one who could play make last year or even when he’s not played with the bench in pre season they look lost his defense isn’t bad too I’d be shocked if he didn’t crack the rotation by all star at the latest

[@WENOTMEPRODUCTIONS]

Tidjuan Salaun gonna win ROY

[@darkmanxxx8810]

That kid is something special like Wemby special.... i kno it sound crazy but yall just keep your eyes on him ...... Imagine if the hornets didn't steal him from The spurs 😂..... they would've had Wemby,Castle,Tidjane Shesshhh.. Thank you Charlotte 😂😂 the nba wasn't ready for all that

[@wilt1007]

Everything I’ve seen from Ron is dog shit

[@jalenjohnson0339]

Reed was much better in his second game then the first you can see the flashes where he can be a damn good point guard for us. The sad thing is we might have to rely on him too soon because besides Fred and Sengun we have no one that can actually run an efficient offense

[@BiggidyB]

Amen & Reed is their future backcourt w/ Cam, Tari & Sengun Trade the rest😂

[@Aventsdor]

@@BiggidyBnah keep jabari

[@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS]

i think reed can do a lot of really good stuff for houston one thing ppl havent mentioned is running handoff actions thru sengun to give him open looks, potentially even out of a pick and pop with amen as the ball handler (sengun “pops” but doesnt shoot instead handing it off to reed and screening for him simultaneously)

[@ryansanchez8006]

1:25 my worry with edey is he’s just forwardly not athletic or skilled enough to keep up with real nba basketball. Teams already hold the ball less than 10 secs over half the time, just push a little harder and run 4v5 openings. Even in preseason he struggled keeping pace.

[@TommyTomTompkins]
