Hot take: This draft isn’t as bad as a lot of people are saying.
No superstars at the top, but some really interesting guys 10-30.
Doubt there will be two guys like Giannis and Gobert in that area, but a lot of players who still stick for a long time.
Very 2013ish. – 4:37 PM

Sunday night thought. I think Christian Braun becomes huge to Denver in this series. Allows MPJ to play the four, and gets Gobert on the move and away from Jokic help. Risk is without AG, it makes guarding KAT and Ant a ton more difficult….give and take – 1:27 AM

Dane Moore: And Conley on how they will have to guard Nikola Jokic if there is no Gobert: “By committee. We got to throw a lot of bodies at him. We got to show him a lot of different looks. Can’t just give him one read. He’s so smart, has the ability to pick you apart if you show him the same thing multiple times. It’ll be a lot of junk. A lot of different things we have to implement. Something we’ve done throughout the year on different teams. We’ll have to implement that tonight.” -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / May 6, 2024
