2022 NBA Draft Thread

I would like to trade down from 4 if we could. Of not, I like Murray at 4. Although it'll be 3 years in a row, ivey would be good at that spot too

No Lie. I have been checking him out the last couple days and starting to think the same thing.

A Physical two way forward with 3 and D potential

I hope he can go somewhere decent

At the very least I think he can stay in the league for years just off of defense

let his offense improve even more and now you really got something
 
Duren is the shiny gem because of his special upside — even if he is regarded as perhaps too much of a project for coach Tom Thibodeau to give approval. “A lot of people compare him to Bam,’’ Brown told The Post from his home in East Hampton. “I spent time with Cal [Kentucky coach John Calipari] when Bam was there. Bam doesn’t shoot 3s either. Jalen is 3 inches taller than Bam. “Jalen is like when I was a head coach when he had a center and power forward in the NBA. I always teased him: I wanted him to be like [rugged former Pistons center] Ben Wallace, because he can run with anybody. He really can run. And can move his feet defensively.’’

Brown is aggravated at the trend of dismissing centers who aren’t premier outside shooters like Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren, who will be a top-three pick. Brown feels Duren does so many other things. He won’t turn 19 until November after reclassifying his senior year of high school to join Penny Hardaway’s Tigers. “He can pass, too,’’ Brown said. “A lot of kids don’t see people who are open. He’s got a feel. If you’re open, he can find you. He’s a willing passer. His shot isn’t broken. The people question his 3-point shot. The kid is 6-11, 250 pounds and athletic. I don’t know how many 3’s you need.’’

Larry Brown: Jalen Duren is a worthy NBA center prospect

Jalen Duren is considered merely a mid-to-late lottery pick — one who could be there at No. 11 when the Knicks come to bat June 23.

OKC’s interest in Sharpe is mutual. According to Jonathan Givony of ESPN, the Thunder “have studied him more closely than any team in the NBA” and his camp has them at the top of the wishlist for Sharpe’s potential destinations. Sharpe’s camp also doesn’t sound overly concerned with where he’s picked, preferring to take a long-term view in steering him to an advantageous development situation in which he can maximize his significant potential and become an All-Star, with the Thunder being at the top of their list.

This not gonna work out for the kings

no matter what they do (and they are trying to win) they won’t be better than a 9th seed
 
I just started diving in on this class.

I think there’s a lot of overthinking with Paolo. Easily #1 on my board
