I want all the above to be available at 20 when we pick. Then I will be super happy knowing that we chose the best option for us.
I feel the same exact way. That's my final board and if we get any of those guys i'll be pleased.

I reckon he's going to be nice. Seems popular though. Grizzlies would be a good spot for him.

Hope we snag WCJ he's got that charisma, champion mindset, and straight-up baller energy.

Re: **NBA Draft Discussion 2025**
WCJ seems like the perfect fit for the Wolves. He is more athletic than ppl think, he will give you blocks and he will dunk in traffic. Nothing like Shabazz. I wouldnt trust Spo to utilize WCJ.
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

Man, you're gonna break WCJ's heart with this, the kid wants to be a Heatle and even wants to have dinner with Spo.

They have Rob Dillingham ready to take over at PG and still value Mike Conley as their vet. Wolves are in dire need of front court help with Naz going into free agency and Randle option final year.

Sorber or Wolf would seem to be safe bets for that Minny pick IMO

Re: **NBA Draft Discussion 2025**
Finding out the day before the draft makes one think there's logic to the idea that others may have worked out and the general public won't find out until after the draft. Or ever.
Based on the logic that has been espoused on here, as of 2 days ago, there was a 0% chance that Nolan Traore would be a prospect under consideration for Miami bc "he hasn't been reported to have worked out for Miami". Well, the reality is that he had worked out, but no one bothered to inform RealGM or the fans.
We get clues that help form a picture. We don't get the full picture.

But now if he gets picked it’s common knowledge that we found out before the draft that lifts the level of mystery. Regardless it has been reported. Bub Carrington also was a last minute reported workout for us last year. I have yet to be surprised by a pick from the Heat come draft day the past many years aside from Jovic who was hurt and only interviewed. 9 times out of 10 the player reported prior to the draft that has worked out for us has been selected.

Traore plays like Lamelo Ball if he wasn’t trying to be so nonchalant all the time

Re: **NBA Draft Discussion 2025**
So it turns out that both Traore, Richardson and WCJ worked out for us. It's also been reported we've looked into Ben Saraf.
Looks like we're finally getting a PG, which is good news.
I'm happy to hear we at least did the required homework, they kept things secret till the last minute this year for some reason. Kinda strange..does any other team does that?
