The Official 2022 NBA Draft Talk Thread

If people are talking about,Sharpe and Ben Mathurin Murray going 5 ..Dyson Daniels and Johnny Davis (he’ll get his turn in the rumor mill soon ) getting the same buzz isn’t wild at all .

Top 5

That agent check cleared

SAC or DET taking him would be wild with Ivey, Sharpe and Murray on the board

Can't put anything past the Kings

 

[CantStop]

spurs probably taking daniels. it seems like their type of player

 

[LEEeveryday]

Gabriele Procida is intriguing.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Jabari Smith seems like a Rashard Lewis type with better defense. Good player but not a potential star. He will be good but i dont think his ceiling is that due to his lack of handles/counters

That’s what I think his best case scenario is .Which is no doubt
A solid player…just not franchise altering . But tbh I don’t think any of these guys are franchise altering besides Chet (if he gets his body together).


Whoever was pushing that baby Durant narrative for Jabari early this year need to get his eyes checked

Yeah Daniels over Ivey would be a stretch


But I can easily seeing a team preferring Dyson over a Murray,Mathurin or Johnny Davis because his archetype is much more valuable

It's crazy watching centers projected to go that high, when centers get phased out the closer you get to competing

Those guys aren't really centers though and are better suited playing the 4 long term.

Keegan Murray is the same height and has the same wingspan is Jayson Tatum but he moves a little slower it seems…also his handles have to improve

I know he hooped at iowa

I can see this. My comp for him has been TJ Warren

 

[Controversy]

If you're Orlando, you can't take a G

You need a 4 that can shoot & switch on def

I am sorry that is wild too me. I got them rounding out 6- 8. 8 is also where I think is the earliest Dyson can go.

Also I have Duren as my surprise riser in this draft. I think he can go too 10 if a team wants an above average center. He’s not Bam, but he’s in that same mold.

OKC at 2 is going to be so interesting to me. They have a bevy of draft picks over the next few years to get this rebuild going but there's no clear cut franchise changer in this draft to bank on like in year's past... They desperately need help offensively with a dynamic scoring option which is why I can see them considering Paolo over Jabari if Orl takes Chet but if it was me? I'm takining Jaden Ivey and being done with it.. Dude has some of that Westbrook/ Ja kind of pop off the floor that would be so interesting next to SGA and Giddey...

I know they have Dort but I'm not letting him stop me from going with a higher ceiling player..this is the type of boom or bust pick that they need..Vecenie did a nice recap of him some months ago but I think he improved even after that...he just fits the modern game

Only reason I say it’s not wild because jumbo playmakers are the most valuable archetype in the league rn . Every team left in the playoffs has a 6’6+ guy that can be a primary or seconda Ball handler/playmaker and Dyson is really the only one out that wing group that has that in his game .

I see that young westbrook/Ja bounce…his speed and first step is crazy too…if he keeps working on his shooting he could be a problem

Tryna figure out who he remind me of…
