2025 NBA Draft

[Cap]

Cooper Flagg or bust.

I give that joke a grade of DD.

With Mat?!

[Charlie Smithy!]

We gotta take Boogie Fland, just for the name alone.

I’m not sure I’d want to hear what Leander would do with “Boogie shoots.”

How would you react if Tom Leander appeared in front of you, and then proceeded to bend over whike shaking his money maker, in your general direction? All the while, imploring you to shake your Boogie, as well?

[Cap]

Fland to watch you shoot is my fav’rite thing
I can’t wait ‘til I watch you again
I want to watch my my my my my my Boogie shoot

I also like Grant Nelson when it comes to the pasty talls.

He looks great on paper, but the amount of shots he missed around the basket in this video gives me pause:

Yeah that touch needs polish for sure. But look at the motor (on both sides of the court), coupled with his high physical profile (mediocre speed tho) and 40% 3pt on more than decent volume (from the videos I've seen I LOVE that he shows no hesitation in catch and shoot attempts). Of course, he is a junior but in our range he is very interesting, specially considering our needs.

[O_Gardino]

I do like Flemming. IMO he'd be either shooting or dunking as a rookie, and we don't need to worry too much about touch for a year or two. I'd be happy taking him, but I suspect he'll go in the middle of the first round.

Any thoughts on Carter Bryant? He seems to have a smooth shot, some athleticism, and good court awareness. I wonder why he's in the draft, though, since he didn't really prove himself as a freshman.

This guy is also on my watch list:

[Split T]

He has my attention:

I would love to get a lottery pick to draft him. He is a boom or bust guy though, but we actually have a shot at him being considered now that Jones isn't in charge.

[Split T]

Here’s who I want right now…I don’t know much, but I’m intrigued

[INFORMER]

His season was wiped out due to injury. Has talent though. I thought he was going to transfer and stay in school.

[Split T]

I think he did transfer to Duke but seems he also declared for the draft…not sure he’ll stay in though

[TOO]

His last name doesn't fit Ishbia's supposed new narrative.

[Gladiator]

From Hollinger’s draft prospects preview in the Athletic, painting it as a bad draft to be picking in the late first and early second round:

Thus, the 2025 NBA Draft looks like a completely normal one at the top half of the first round, then has the bottom fall out once we get into the second. Get used to this for the next year or two, until around 2028 or so, when we get enough of a wave of talented fifth-year seniors coming into the league that it offsets the lack of sophomores and juniors. In the meantime, NBA scouts and execs have taken note. Expect late first-round and early second-round picks to carry less trade value than in other years.

[ShelC]

There's always talent to be found.
