Texansfan713 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Now that the 2023 NBA Draft is over. Time to shift focus to 2024. At the moment it's considered a weak draft. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/2024-nba-mock-draft-bronny-james-not-a-lottery-pick-another-french-star-at-no-1-in-early-look-at-next-year/ https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10080322-way-too-soon-2024-nba-mock-draft-lottery-edition Edited May 13 by Texansfan713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 For me, I'll be following Isaiah Collier closely. Wizards will be desperate for a PG. The draft, this early, seems weaker on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably won't even be on the team when Collier would join. I'd probably prefer a different PG over Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seminoles1 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Bronny for #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterCallSaul Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Bronny probably will go #1 simply because it means it’s a package deal for LBJ on a discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 It's gonna fully be determined by whoever gets the #1 pick and their roster balance IMO. Next year's class has no real top dog. You could tell me any one of Holland, Wagner, Williams, James, Buzelis, Risacher, Collier, Edwards or Castle went #1 and I'd believe you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know most are joking but at what level would a team actually think about this for a 40 year old Lebron? Like say Bronny was in this draft and it means you get 1 maybe 2 years of Lebron, where is the cutoff of future value of player drafted vs 2 years of Lebron? Like maybe Portland would have given it could pair up Lebron and Dame but I think I would rather have Scoot for the future than a 1 or 2 year run. The Hornets might have this year just so MJ could have been Lebrons boss but in general, with a young Ball you want a young Miller/Scoot over a 1 or 2 year run with Lebron and Ball. After that it gets tricky but I don't see teams as far away as the Pistons, Rockets, Magic, etc throwing away the future for a 1 or 2 year Lebron run at this age. Maybe Washington would have if they kept KP and Beal. I feel like Dallas would have been the sweet spot where they could have added Lebron to Luka and Kyrie and they are in more of a win now mode. Next year it may be different depending on the draft order and how some guys develop both in the league and in the draft but I feel like the late lottery/early exit playoff teams with another star is thew sweet spot for Bronny unless he actually rockets up draft boards deservingly.

Sllim Pickens Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I think Coen Carr is a sleeper to shoot up draft boards this year. He is crazy athletic and seems to have a solid offensive game and can defend multiple positions. I don't see him as a top 5 pick or anything but could be one of those sneaky guys that moves into the lottery if he has a solid year for Izzo. Especially since he should have all the opportunity in the world to start amongst a very veteran group of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a team with either an established star or a mess of cap space would do it. Legitimately, if they were guaranteed Bron. If my team was picking #1 and we weren’t a total abortion, gimme the Brons over the guys next year, unless one of those dudes looks like a megastar within the coming months, which I don’t see.

You'd believe Bronny going #1, ain't no way in hell. I'm not even sure he's a OAD level dude to be honest and he's likely going to be the third fiddle at USC behind Collier and Ellis.

If LeBron told Portland that he'd sign there if they took him and Dame said "LeBron or I'm leaving," yeah, I could see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any team in the league is passing on an elite level prospect for an average one for one year of 40 year old LeBron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see any prospect in this class as an "elite level" prospect at this point. It's a subpar class at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
