2024 Mock Drafts

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

That was one of those posts where for the sake of the board I instantly assumed he just avoided teal for a response like yours

The Lavine stuff to the end sold it.

He's mentioned Perez multiple times in similar fashion. I have no idea if its a bit or what. If so, it's an oddly specific one.,

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Jose Perez is 25 years old and playing in his sixth year of college basketball at his fifth institution. He isn't going to have a significant NBA career. I doubt he even logs a minute.

I'm pretty sure Jose Perez is now 42 years old. 

[swoopem]

It’s not a bit. Once upon a time the loyalist thought Dan Fitzgerald was going to be a star in the league.

[wadesworld]

Having a decent season with ASU.

Lots of odd, repetitive bits on Scoop.

[BubbaWilliams]

Tyler being paid very well at MU, better then the G League, would not be surprised if he comes back

Also, he doesn't want to get drafted by the Jazz and have his development stunted in the G League.

Never doubt a winner. Someone who has survived for as long as Jose has in high level D1 basketball programs is enormously successful. Someone who is 25 is in the prime of their life. Someone who has 6 years of basketball experience in power conferences knows how to play. Jose is a man with high basketball IQ. He also has managed to avoid getting a real job. Which not a lot of people on board can say. Please stand down Sultan.

I assumed it was a bot, but maybe a bit? A bot doing a bit?

Dan Fitzgerald is a fine man who played his role the best he could. Sometimes you call the league and the league doesnt answer. Its about what happens when you get up off the mat.

This is awesome.

He certainly doesn’t have 6 years of experience in power conferences, though. Unless the Big South and MAAC are power conferences.

Anyhoo ...

That's pretty cool about Oso and Kolek. Wouldn't be surprised to see Kam's name start popping up, too, if he continues to perform as he has.

In some fairness to Jose, the school changed coaches at 3 of his 5 stops. (Wojo, Maisello, Huggins)

Hilarious to see previous commentary and bearishness and then have Oso pop up as a near lottery pick.

People who watch A LOT of basketball for a living have been raving about Oso.  He can't shoot from deep yet, but he's super athletic, an incredible passer for his size, and runs the floor very very well.  He reminds me of Javale McGee, minus the bonehead streak.  Or more recently, look at Evan Mobley.  Same general size and build and he's not popping off from deep with any consistency or danger.

McGee & Mobley? Wat

Usages, dr%, blk% (!!!) all tell us there’s quite a diff

If only somebody on scoop had been saying since spring that Oso would be drafted.

Yep there were plenty of scoopers on the Oso train.

Apparently NBA scouts feel the same way about blk% (at least for Marquette prospects) as you do about FT%. Nuttin' mattas!

Jolps 0.7% blk percentage compared to Omax at 0.5% has caused our defensive efficiency to go from 43rd to 14th

Wow seriously! Didn't realize he was at ASU this year. Hurley has never made it out of the round of 64, I realize they were just in the tournament last year but how much longer does he get? They're going nowhere fast this season and it's been 9 years. Gotta think unless they're the most apathetic fan base around his seat would at least be modestly warm (token contract extension he signed this year notwithstanding). A 4/5 coaches-fired record would be amazing!

[brewcity77]

In the past 40 years, ASU has 8 NCAA appearances. Hurley is responsible for half of those. There's a chance he could be their second winningest coach this year and will certainly be that if he gets another year. He's not great, but as a program, they are pretty bad. I'd argue he's their second most successful coach of all time.
