Reacting to Bleacher Report's 2024 NBA Mock Draft (CRAZY PICKS!!!)

[@benpfeifer8192]

there’s an issue with the audio cutting out from 17:20 to 24:13. best to skip past it while i work out the problems

[@spectartacus]

This draft cycle feels way different than usual. I know people don't like it at the top, but there's something deeper I can't quite put my finger on.

Sound issue from 17:20 on for me

Reacting to Bleacher Report lists are always fun. Their "1 trade for every team" tends to feel ridiculous and i think its by design. My biggest problem with most mock drafts is that no one tries to account for teams trading up/down/out of the draft and other moves. It assumes every team will use their pick as is.

[@benpfeifer8192]

it's basically impossible to predict trades so I get it

[@robojimtv]

@@benpfeifer8192 i feel like you'd wanna somehow bring together 30 draft people in a zoom chat and have them try to work out trades and that sounds like a nightmare. But I do wish we tried to not force every team to take their pick?

thoughts on scoot henderson's rookie performance

[@benpfeifer8192]

not great but i will do a video on him eventually

[@CarloBarlo69]

Honestly, I’m way higher on Salaun than most. It’s not hard to see his ceiling being absolutely ski high. You gotta shoot for upside near the top not many prospects have higher upside

[@benpfeifer8192]

yeah i like salaun, gonna do a video on him eventually

Mainstream Draft outlets are getting really weird with it.

You use the term “advantage creator” often. Can you explain what that is? What makes someone an advantage creator and what are examples of advantage creators?

[@vanhoot2234]

when you have the gravity to sink in extra defenders or get past your man so fast that it causes the defence to go into rotation to scramble or to shift and thus you create an offensive opportunity or advantage for your teammate. Luka is a good example with his craftiness. you can do it through down hill pressure... dribbling skills.... and smart movement and positioning... after that its up to the offensive player to learn how to read the opposing defences and make the correct read to make the pass.

i’ve done a few videos on this in the past, but i could do another

@@benpfeifer8192 ok just watch the video. So an advantage creator is just someone who on offense can draw a double team?

[@benpfeifer8192]

@@beckembrown7002 that’s part of it for sure, just a player who forces the defense to enter rotation and create a numbers advantage for their offense
