He's looked pretty good at the combine...at least partially addressed shooting concerns, which were probably the number one hangup on TJD because of the tiny sample size in college. He may not be the most athletic player, but I see him being productive and worthy of a late 1st round pick. We'll see... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the Pacers really make two second round picks (32 and 50) and not pick TJD? https://theathletic.com/4513228/2023/05/16/nba-draft-lottery-mock-draft-wembanyama/ No. No they would not.

Seeking6 Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 I won't pretend to know all the nuances of NBA. There are several college players who I thought were great who don't even smell the league. My bias aside....I just have a hard time believing that a player like TJD doesn't translate. Don't even care about the lack of outside shot. The way Woodson used him on offense this year seems like a poster child for what he could do at next level. Would love the Pacers to snag him with one of their seconds if still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fever made a similar decision with Grace Berger this year. No, you don't pass up a sure thing (which a 2nd rounder is never a sure thing), but all other things being equal, go with the hometown guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just because he's the hometown guy(that helps) but he's one of the best passing bigs from college in recent years. You mean to tell me he wouldn't fit in great with Pacers where they could dump into him and he can find one of the open guards/wings we have? I'd love for some of our more knowledgeable NBA guys to correct me but how would that not work? I mean if the Warriors are going to move on from Draymond Green wouldn't he work perfect there?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand if a team passes on him in the first round, given all the contract guarantees that come with that. But, 2nd round? If he does fall to 2nd round, we'll look back at the draft and conclude he was one of the 2-3 best 2nd rounders in this draft. He brings too much to the table not to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of right idea, wrong execution. He isn't getting doubled in the low post in the NBA like he did here, but he'll be great in the high post and in dribble hand off situations. I honestly think he might be like a poor man's Bam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1215 Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Just saw a TikTok of Trayce draining threes. Like 6-7 in a row. I mean we know he can shoot. I remember him last year when I saw them warming up in Dayton he was draining them. Dominant inside but I think he will have no problem hitting jump shots and keeping people honest.

He has been projected late lottey so he could slip outside it but 1-done lottery plus a good career would be amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
