The closer Draft 2023 approaches, the greater the certainty that Gradey Dick is chosen in the “lottery”, or even in the Top 10, is reinforced.
Author of a good “freshman” season with Kansas (14.1 points at 40.3% behind the arc), the 19-year-old rear / winger has indeed been tipped for several months as a player who will be selected in the first half of the first round. , on June 22, and his recent “workouts” only confirm these projections.
In recent days, he has indeed chained three visits with three teams located between 9th and 12th places: the Jazz (#9), the Mavericks (#10) and the Thunder (#12).
Three teams likely to be very interested in his shooter profile to boost their attack, and who clearly embody his most coherent potential destinations from a “fit” point of view.
Alongside the “playmaking” of the Luka Doncic/Kyrie Irving pairs (if the latter extends, of course), on the Dallas side, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey, on the Oklahoma City side, his profile as an “off-ball” shooter would make particular sense. and would offer a clear projection in a rotation in its first year.
In any case, just over two weeks from the 2023 Draft, it therefore seems increasingly certain that Gradey Dick is a “lock” in the Top 12, and possibly even in the Top 10.
