Re: Redrafting the 2023 Class
This really was a loaded class.
I agree with what most have said in that the top 5 look pretty set. Maybe I'm bias but I have Porter as the clear top pick but 2-5 all interchangeable dependent on who drafted them.
The rest though could easily be drafted for fit and you wouldn't be disappointed with any of them. Birutis could go 6th if a big was required but Troy Brown, etc, anyone could be taken and you wouldn't be disappointed.
Great class!

Re: Redrafting the 2023 Class
Great read and always so interesting how a class is viewed after a few seasons!
Agree with the most of it. Depends a lot too in what situation a team picks.
My personal order would be JJJ at 1st just for the fact that I like to have a dominant big down low. Porter is the better pure scorer, Kaiser the top defender
1. JJJ
2. Porter
3. Gates
4. Miles Bridges
5. Shaq
6. Troy Brown
7. Robert Williams
8. Mikal Bridges
9. Birutis
10. Sexton

Re: Redrafting the 2023 Class
Great article Lucas and not surprised to see some different opinions at who would be drafted where now.
I was really worried that Tim was going to take Gates based on the conversations I was having with him since I fell in love with him early on in the draft process, but once I saw Musa was taken I quickly posted that pick.
In terms of overall talent, I think it goes:
Porter
JJJ
Brown
Gates/Miles
Shaw
Birutis
I loved Gates due to fit, but Miles Bridges and him getting the +10 boost really helped him (along with the transition to DDS19) so he can be a great player too.
This was probably one of the best classes in our history in terms of overall top level talent and depth of talent as you see most of these players having a significant role on most of the teams around the league.

Re: Redrafting the 2023 Class
Pretty accurate in regards to this engine. But Fultz should be a tad bit higher. He's not being used correctly. If a lucky team snags him and learns how to use him, they got a really good player.KW wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 3:09 pm #1 - Porter

#9 - Collins
#10 - Kostas
#11 - Fultz
#12 - Birutus
#13 - Musa
#14 - Derrickson
would probably be my lottery (I didn't factor in fit), and there's still plenty of talent after them too.
Had the top 5 gone that way, I would've taken Mikal Bridges at #6 instead of Brown for fit reasons on my Rockets.
Same with Derrickson. A PF who can shoot from everywhere and rebound?!

Re: Redrafting the 2023 Class
Personal preference but I kind of agree. If Fultz can be used properly, he'll become a pretty good player.
