2023-24 Houston Rockets Thread - Climbing out of the Gutter?
Vecenie just updated his big board, and to underscore how fluid the lotto is, Risacher dropped from #1 to #8. Earlier in the cycle Collier dropped from #1 to the teens. Here's his writeup and his lotto Because of how fluid and more or less even the top ~10 are, this is an oddly interesting draft despite how weak it is at the top

Why? All three are still very good, and the international three point line is a joke or KD and Curry Lebron can play small ball five when the other team doesn't have a jumbo center

Jokic is the guy to worry about. And Doncic. One man wrecking crews.

2024 NFL DRAFT
Right after the combine, some thought there was a decent chance Sweat would go late first, and it seemed like his range was probably late first to mid second, but his pre-draft stuff has been a disaster since then

2024 NFL DRAFT
Looking at the circa o/u, the only players commonly in first round mocks who don't have a line are Caleb, Daniels, Maye, Guyton, and Morgan.. which makes you think Guyton and Morgan are candidates to not go in the first Making a mock (but leaving out the teams) based on the O/U gives you 1) Caleb Williams 2) Drake Maye / Jayden Daniels 3) Drake Maye / Jayden Daniels 4) Marvin Harrison Jr (4.5) 5) JJ McCarthy / Malik Nabers (5.5) 6) JJ McCarthy / Malik Nabers (5.5) 7) Joe Alt (7.5) '8) Rome Odunze (8.5) 9) Dallas Turner (9.5) 10) Brock Bowers (11.5) 11) Taliese Fuaga (12.5) 12) Quinyon Mitchell (13.5) 13) Olu Fashanu / JC Latham / Jarred Verse (14.5) 14) Olu Fashanu / JC Latham / Jarred Verse (14.5) 15) Olu Fashanu / JC Latham / Jarred Verse (14.5) 16) Terrion Arnold (15.5) 17) Troy Fautanu / Byron Murphy II (16.5) 18) Troy Fautanu / Byron Murphy II (16.5) 19) Brian Thomas Jr / Adonai Mitchell / Laiatu Latu (17.5) 20) Brian Thomas Jr / Adonai Mitchell / Laiatu Latu (17.5) 21) Brian Thomas Jr / Adonai Mitchell / Laiatu Latu (17.5) 22) Jer'Zhan Newton (18.5) 23) Cooper DeJean (20.5) 24) Graham Barton (23.5) 25) Amarius Mims (24.5) 26) Chop Robinson (25.5) 27) Nate Wiggins (26.5) 28) Xavier Worthy / Kool-Aid McKinstry (28.5) 29) Xavier Worthy / Kool-Aid McKinstry (28.5) 30) Darius Robinson (29.5) 31) Jackson Powers-Johnson (30.5) 32) Michael Penix Jr / Bo Nix / Ladd McConkey / Tyler Nubin (32.5) 33) Michael Penix Jr / Bo Nix / Ladd McConkey / Tyler Nubin (32.5) 34) Michael Penix Jr / Bo Nix / Ladd McConkey / Tyler Nubin (32.5) 35) Michael Penix Jr / Bo Nix / Ladd McConkey / Tyler Nubin (32.5)

Mitchell is essentially a 5 on in the half-court offense because he's a non-shooter, non-connector, and can't really dribble or drive. He can dunk from the dunker's spot and get offensive rebounds, and that's about it. Which is fine if you surround him with four good offensive players, but that's easier said than done

Keep in mind, when there are a million players in the portal, being #40 or #75 is still really good and a winning college basketball player

Decent chance that Embiid, Halliburton, and Kawhi end up not playing I think the replacements could be Chet/Draymond, Brunson, and Paul George

The difference between the Athletic's and the other's portal rankings is very interesting. Vecenie and another guy are doing the Athletic's, and Vecenie is excellent. Here's one instance of deviation. The Athletic has this guy at #28 right now

2024 Paris Summer Olympics - Death Squad
The 12th spot is between Kawhi, Paul George, Paolo, Brunson, and Bridges, with Kawhi as the favorite, per Chams. I'd pick Paul George since he's an excellent two-way big wing who's a great spot up three point shooter, and who doesn't really have a weakness Chet should be in play if Embiid drops out, which he should considering he struggled to finish the NBA season. Of course, Kerr could pick Draymond over Chet, but Chet would be an excellent fit Bridges was thought to have been a lock previously, but too many elite players are playing Paolo will probably feel mislead if he doesn't make this team after choosing US over Italy, but his time will come

Another guy who's in the second round range. Very skilled, but below average measurables and has some medicals

He's not a typical draft guy, but Schrager is pretty connected

I would look at it the other way; the betting market from a book with two-way betting action like Circa is likely more accurate than a random mock draft
