The 2023 NBA Draft Just Got "LEAKED"...

[@lucasvarela1591]

Victor would be really awesome for 8 games a season and retire in 3 years with 34 games played if we had the 1st pick

[@SuperSupersoda]

Can't remember another draft class like this? Really? To me, this is the splitting image of the 2002 NBA draft: Yao Ming as the generational prospect, the foreign born center and lock at #1 overall. Then the generational guard prospect in Jayson Williams and the top-tier wing prospect in Mike Dunleavy Jr., filling in for Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller. Some intriguing names down the list (nene and Amare Stoudamire), but basically, a one player top tier, followed by a star 6'2 inch PG, and a dynamic 6'10 wing prospect.

[@BiggidyB]

Beautiful insight. My man knows what’s up.

[@REDDRomeo]

Except this draft is pretty talented compared to that one, you got jalen hood, anthony black, amari bailey and gradey dick jus to name a few, with sum development, a few of em will be elite, i can definitely see anthony black becoming a star, amari bayley being a sleeper stud, and jalen hood finna be a dawg no lie, and GG Jackson too i almost forgot bout him

[@Adbar10XD]

Amen Thompson is 2 inches taller than Green with a 7 foot wingspan and great court awareness, he’s the perfect compliment to Green. Also the Green hate is unreal considering the guy is barely 21 years old and already scoring 20 ppg. At worst he’s going to be a Bradley Beal level guy.

I would like to see the Spurs trade for the #4 pick

[@timskaggs3762]

There’s gonna be some serious domino effects in this one. A couple of “wow” moves and a couple of heartbreaks. 1) I see Orlando doing something really smart with one of their picks. 2) Indiana using their picks to move around the draft board. 3) A Minnesota move that either fixes or compounds their previous mistakes. 4) Spurs trading up for either Coulibaly or a mid-lottery PG pick, depending on who is available.

[@maxgarrett8135]

I feel like charlotte will go with Brandon Miller, look at there draft record, they value good college players quite a bit and he fits that mold

[@drewmusolino3032]

This draft is honestly INSANE!! So many potential generational talents. A lot deeper than people think too As LeBron put it, Wemby's an alien and hopefully he lives up to that, which I truly think he does. Scoot will probably be a perennial All Star and could honestly be arguably the best player out of this draft down the stretch, years from now.. who knows Hopefully Brandon Miller can stay out of trouble and have a heck of a career. The Thompson Bro's look like the real deal. Wallace and Whitmore will be better than people think, just behind phenomenal talent. I do agree how after around the 5th-7th pick is going to be all over the place lol. Grady Dick and Jalen Wilson from Kansas look NBA ready. Lots of Sleepers too, like Maxwell Lewis(Pepperdine), Bilal Coulibaly(France), Omari Moore, SJST (MWC PoY) Isaiah Wong, Miami(ACC PoY) and Jalen Slawson(Furman) A heavy amount of seniors and guys ready to contribute for contenders, like Jaquez from UCLA. Lots of possible late 2nd round older big men like Kalkbrenner, Zach Eddy, Oscar Tshiebwe and Drew Timme, who might not ever get drafted. Lots of international dudes as well, especially France lol. Can't friggin' wait!! Great Content as always 👍

[@toad7395]

Just scared for wembys ankles, he better put on some muscle real quick or the NBA will turn destroy that mans legs in 2 years

[@AdamKlownzinger]

Scoot Henderson is the one guy out of the guys locked in for the top three that i am most comfortable drafting and expecting him to be a perennial all-star. The only complaint people have about him is his 3 point shooting. I call bullshit. For one thing he has always been a solid free throw shooter which is a better indication of shooting ability than 3 point percentage when talking about nba prospects. And second his 3 point percentage was bad but didnt indicate a straight up inability to shoot like Ben Simmons. He had a 33% 3 point percentage throughout the full course of his season this year

[@CornerShop-rk7nq]

Markelle Fultz over Curry all time… Am I tripping or nah?

[@javierlandaverde4108]

Free throw form or free throw % doesn’t mean it translates into 3 point shooting. Rip Hamilton was a better free throw shooter then Rasheed Wallace but Wallace was the better shooter.

[@cjwrench07]

The defense is what makes Scoot the safest bet, because the worst you get is a healthy LaLonzo Ball, and a Klay-type (with handles) on the top end of the spectrum. Scoot is a 76% FT shooter in the g-league, that’s Ok, not solid. What he really needs to show is growth with his efficiency & turnovers on O; because he already has the inherent defensive instincts & aggressiveness needed for the NBA. Scoot will always have an upside because of the effort on defense and the raw talent on O. *Wemby* is the biggest bet since Zion for a body & game that translates to the NBA. A *very consistent* 27% 3pt shooting on 5/game. A real fear to mix it up inside with heavier bigs, and being way more effective as a help side defender (like Zion) than on-ball in the low/mid post. Wemby’s highlights look amazing and look like a raw generational talent. But, his defensive lowlights against fast and/or physical wings & bigs, shows he’ll be constantly hunted in the Pick&Roll on a nightly basis. That means taking the same wear & tear as Gobert on defense, while everyone expects him to instantly be Wilt/Russell/KD/LeBron on offense. Dude has a good shot with Pop in his corner, but if he doesn’t perform on opening night. The “bust” talk is going to come out real quick, and in such frequency he can’t ignore.

Nobody says he’s a phenomenal run and jump athlete for one thing. And if he’s supposed to be a 3 and D guy, I’d like to know where people get the “D” part from because he was an average defender in college, third best defender on Alabama this year

[@siphillis]

I think he lacks drive and focus. Scoot and Wemby are obsessed with hoops, whereas you can imagine Miller folding under the pressure to succeed.

[@tcr7]

I agree. I think Miller will end up as a bust. Not that he'll be bad, but he'll end up as a guy that should have been drafted late 1st. He just feels like a guy who has been coasting on raw talent so when he hits the stage where he suddenly has to work hard to succeed, he won't do it. And even worse - Charlotte is where so many of those players go and fail. Monk, for example, admitted that he didn't try. Caleb Martin said he also would have cut himself. So many players that do well outside Charlotte but fail to perform in Charlotte because they don't have the drive. Scoot has that drive and I feel like he'll instill it in others. If for no other reason, that's why Scoot will be an all-star and Brandon Miller will be a "bust".

Im just scared that Victor Weby will be a bust, he has so much hype, but him having this much hype shows that he must win roty to keep the hype up, also Spurs thinking how he will be in the next 4-5 years and he's either your star player, or he's fluffed and maybe would be a better role player which would be hard to imagine, Same thing with scoot, he's a much safer pick though, he's more of a guaranteed good role player than a star in my opinion though, also with san antonio's current roster, victor would be without any good role players, so I would try to trade for some good role players that can help victor really show his true potential, if the Victor project works, all they need to do is get him a good point guard, you get victor a good point guard and he's turning into the next jokic possibly. so much hype this draft that its gonna be such a let down if a lot of players kind of develop into basic role players/busts.

San Antonio is a team full of good role players and no star. That part is for sure. Only thing that'll hold Wemby back is his effort and health.

Scoot Henderson is not a “role player”. He is a franchise star-caliber player much like Wembanyama is, except much less risk of chronic injuries.

I mean majority of scouts are favouring miller as the better prospect, then factor in fit it’s pretty obvious charlotte are drafting him. The rumour came out right after the lottery that he was their preferred option, which is an obvious choice if they intend on keeping lamelo. Any rumours now are most likely to gain trade leverage. Portland are most likely going to trade #3 and there’s been a few teams showing desperation to draft scoot. Looks like charlotte are in on those rumours to maybe get something on top of dropping back to #3 and getting the guy they want anyway.

I'll just put this out there.

Charlotte should grab Brandon Miller cuz LaMelo is a franchise player and the combination of him and Scary Terry works well, what they are missing are cowards and centres, they have Miles Bridges they just have to wait for his suspension to be up but other than that they’re straight out of size, Brandon Miller is a good start

[@Dark_Saibot]

The Trailblazers should trade the 3rd pick which has out of this world value, grab something nice for Dame, Jeramy Grant is good so I’d keep him, Nurkic is decent but expendable, Simons is a rising star so keep him but Thybulle… A+ Defender but not much else to talk about… Grab a versatile SF or role playing SF, a SF like LeBron because he’s obviously moving into Roleplayer territory now and someone who has the wide of a stat margin would greatly increase their offence and defence, if you want the extra versatility someone like DeRozan or Paul George, the bulls have said they’d like to build around LaVine and the third overall pick would help or the Clippers who are probably done with this Kawhi/PG Experiment and would like to start rebuilding now rather than layer

[@mattmcjagger2582]

[@edisongalgao644]

NBA scouts were literally looking for athleticism, which is completely wrong... They should look for defensive players who can score elitely, with the goal to win every game, and with high honors during their career before their draft.. Like M. Jordan who always listen with his trainers and coaches that's why he win a lot of awards and championships.. Stamina and athleticism is nothing without the high winning mentality IQ they have.. they are paid to win the game!

[@timtresch4848]

The reality is scouting players is really hard and no one is perfect, Jokic went in the 2nd round, so many talented players end up being huge injury concerns not an exact science.

Rockets don’t want Miller

[@TheEvilOmega]

Spurs are taking Wemby, Hornets are going to take Miller (they won't want to upset LaMelo by taking another ball-dominant guard and they want to improve the team in a way that makes him want to stay), Portland is going to trade #3 and Anfernee to the Raptors for Siakam and their pick and the Raptors will take Scoot, the Rockets are going to take Amen because even if they sign Harden he'll still fit on the team and if he turns out to be great they might be able to flip Harden to another team. From there, the Pistons are going to take Whitmore because that's their biggest position of need and he's a very balanced player that will fit really well on their team. The Magic at 6 are going to take either Cason Wallace or Jalen Hood-Schifino. Pacers are going to take Jarace Walker. The Wizards are going to take the other of JHS or Wallace. The Jazz are going to take Ausar. The Mavs are going to take Hendricks. Magic will take Gradey Dick. After that? No idea. There's really not a big talent gap between players from picks 6 through, like, 16 or something. I can see some trades with a few teams consolidating picks or assets to move up, but I don't think anyone is going to move up past 10 aside from the Raptors.

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation,[a] but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’ 14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
