2024 NBA Draft Day One GDT

[KG4Ever]

Hmmm. We could have Kolek or Collier at 27. Makes me wonder a bit if Dillingham is worth it. Dillingham better be special.

...and Conley and Trae Young have struggled to get even to a Conference Finals, so it's not like their size doesn't eventually catch up to them in the playoffs. When our standards were "for the love of God can we just make the playoffs!?" Billingham would be a home run. When the standards are trying to win a title, small-ish guards are kind of a problem late in the playoffs. He absolutely needs to add weight.

Yes, and that’s my concern, Q. Trading up to #8 we could have drafted Devin Carter, Nikola Topic or Carlton Carrington. All three have terrific offensive skills but also have the size to compete defensively in the NBA. The more I reflect on this the more troubled I am by pick.

You’re overreacting.

Dillingham at worst should be judged in comparison to Carter, but keep in mind. Kentucky guys almost always pan out. Trust in Calipari’s pedigree.

I think you’re right about me over-reacting. In Calipari I’ll trust.

[Lipoli390]

We’ll be able to get Scheierman or Terrence Shannon. I’d be happy with either. But knowing TC, he probably won’t take either.

[60WinTim]

It just occurred to me -- no way is JMac being brought back...

[Lipoli390]

I wonder if TC has his sights set on Dadiet. If so, he’s on to plan B.

[KG4Ever]

Kolek is there at 27!!! Lets go!

[Phenom]

Is OKC going to stab us in the heart?

[KG4Ever]

Double down on point guard. Kolek is BPA.

[Phenom]

Dillon Jones to OKC. Will probably be an Allstar since OKC takes him.

[Q-is-here]

Is OKC going to stab us in the heart?

No they're not! The dream is alive!!!
