2025 NBA Draft Round 2

He's literally Klay. That's a steal

He's literally Klay. That's a steal

Stupid question... If he's the best shooter for the last 2 years, why did he fall so low in the draft?

I saw GSW fans pissed about trading the pick and most wanted him because of his Klay-like game.

[TOO]

He's way more Sam Hauser than Klay Thompson.

[ShelC]

He's "just" a shooter. Doesn't do much else, not great defensively, short arms (6-5 wingspan). Klay was a great defender, Koby not so much.

[Bucktastic365]

Phoenix Suns….Summer league champs?

Brea, Dunn, Fleming, Oso, Maluach

Envisioning them at their best; honestly this is a scary unit. Oso as the defacto "pg"

[Bucktastic365]

I'm excited about those guys, but that lineup is a disaster.

Gotta have someone who will at least pretend to organize the offense and set up other guys.

That's the "system"'s job bro. And I think Oso's "hub" was underutilized as a rookie. I really expect great things from him(and Dunn) this year. He's going to be our Draymond

[Bucktastic365]

lol I didn’t mean for it to be a line up but rather the first look at the summer league roster haha.

If I had to guess it’ll look something like this:

Summer league PG-Brea-Dunn-Fleming-Maluach

With Oso off the bench?

Or maybe have Dunn as the SG and Fleming as a SF with Oso and Maluach as the bigs and Brea off the bench. There’s some nice line up versatility for a summer league roster. I wonder if Ott will coach even.

Run the offense through Oso, effectively use him as an oversized PG. Think you can revolutionize his game that way.

THANK YOU! You see the same vision as me. The offense basically runs thru the "hub" at the ft line, instead of a P/R.

I don't follow college; but I would assume that's its because of his perceived "specialist" niche.

But an ELITE talent can never be ignored

Describe the difference. All I ever see Klay do is what's in his highlights

Glad that you see it, too. Dunkers in the low post. shooters out on the perimeter, Oso at the high post. If they dare him to shoot, either do so or go in for a short drive and shoot a floater.

[Bucktastic365]

Oso DEFINITELY needs to up his own offense tho. He's got to be a threat to score for the other 4 to have any purpose

[TOO]

He's way more Sam Hauser than Klay Thompson.

Describe the difference. All I ever see Klay do is what's in his highlights

Pre injury Klay was a defensive menace with a much longer wingspan, better athlete, could get his own shot. Brea is none of those things and has a negative wingspan. He's much more of just a role playing sniper like Hauser or Duncan Robinson.

[Carno]

He has a negative wingspan? like his left arm comes out of his right shoulder, or something?

[ShelC]

Hey Desmond Bane measured 6-5 with a 6-4 wingspan.

[BigLewy]

He's way more Sam Hauser than Klay Thompson.

Pre injury Klay was a defensive menace with a much longer wingspan, better athlete, could get his own shot. Brea is none of those things and has a negative wingspan. He's much more of just a role playing sniper like Hauser or Duncan Robinson.

And if he just becomes another Hauser or Robinson, that's perfectly fine for a mid 2nd round pick.

[carey]

He has a negative wingspan? like his left arm comes out of his right shoulder, or something?

Ha. Yeah, it's a funny term. I guess it just means that the wingspan is shorter than his height. Unlike Rasheer Flemming whose arms are like 7 inches longer than his height (which is insane.)

Yep. A very useful skill set.

Then WW's original lineup works and has some size.

I'm talking now. Klay is nothing more than a catch and shoot/ catch, fake, and shoot guy with whatever defense.

Brea can do more than that NOW
