Collier or Dillingham on the market for a small forward with similar potential.

With the 21st pick, in the 2025 BaF draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder select:

Nolan Traore
Saint Quentin (France)

The New York Knicks are now on the clock.

[TerrenceClarke]

Good Pick. Was projected to be top 5 right before the season started for him. Started off rough but began to play good as the season ended. Good value.

[Capn'O]

Didn't Joan Beringer have a couple of minor hits in the 80s?

With the 22nd pick, in the 2025 BaF draft, the New York Knicks select:

Rasheer Fleming
St. Joseph’s

The New Orleans Pelicans are now on the clock.

Timberwolves front office seeing yet another target come off the board

I like Fleming a lot. Freaky measurables and can be a good 3-D guy. I hope he has a good landing spot

I was just looking at him. Very interesting blocks/3 ball combo for his size.

6’9 with like a 7’5 wingspan who can guard multiple positions and hopefully continue to have his shooting translate. Those are the type of guys that stick around a long time if they can find the right home

Flem is one of the safest picks in the draft Imo.

[j4remi]

Fleming's a super-fluid athlete for the measurables he's rocking. His jumper form is really clean too. I had Fleming, Raynauld, and one other player who hasn't been selected as my main targets at 22.

[El Poochio]

Pick is in, didnt think he would be available for me so I will gladly take the pick

[bishnykfan]

With the 23rd pick, in the 2025 BaF draft, the New Orleans Pelicans select:

Spoiler:

Nique Clifford
Colorado St.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are now on the clock.

[Strick]

Damn I REALLY thought I would have Fleming or Clifford when both were on the board after 21 picks

Had to pivot from the archetype they fall in but still happy with the board we were left with. Pick is submitted!

[j4remi]

Anyone looking to get out of an upcoming pick, hit my line. I have picks 41 and 49 if you want to trade down for cheaper commitments with less years.

[bishnykfan]

With the 24th pick, in the 2025 BaF draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves select:

Spoiler:

Walter Clayton Jr.
Florida

The San Antonio Spurs are now on the clock.

[mpharris36]

nice pick Strick. I don't see how he's not a high level contributor in the NBA even if its as a backup guard. Just a big time shot maker.

Makes my pick a lot easier.
