the 2021 lotto was insanely good though, not nearly the same talent here after the top 2.

As prospects or results? Results seem pretty meh to me.

Aside from Flagg, Harper and Edgecombe following players imo are going to be solid pro's. In general if i was a GM i would explore trading down in the lottery after pick 3.


- Saraf
- Clayton JR
- Coward
- Sears
- Raynaud
- Essengue
- Fleming
- Dixon
- Peavy
- Sorber

International Combine measurements 

Post#1346 » by FarBeyondDriven » Wed Jun 4, 2025 6:13 pm

Markovic 6'10.5" barefoot with 9'2" reach and 6'11.5" wingspan
Traore 6'3" barefoot with 6'8" wingspan
Faye 6'9" barefoot with 9'1.5" reach and 7'4.5" wingspan
Penda 6'7.25" barefoot with 8'10.5" reach and 6'11.5" wingspan

Still waiting on some others but maybe they won't be provided since they're still playing (Essengue, Hugo, Saraf)

I am growing a bit more wary on Fears. He has some Brandon Knight to his game. If he doesnt iron out that shot he will take the same route IMO.

Disagree. Knight never had near the handle.

I think Fears will come away as one of the best in the class after he gets his 3 ball up to speed. That handle and body control is elite.

I...think I might move Carter Bryant to the top-5 of my big board over Ace (and possibly VJ).

Not saying I agree with it, but have a feeling Maluach is going to go to Charlotte at 4.

I also think we're going to see a monster center run in the late teens/20s. Queen, Raynaud, Sorber, Wolf, Beringer, Kalkbrenner, Penn State guy, Yang.

Man, I wish Denver had their pick. Could find a decent backup for Jokic.

As a Wizards fan i would be fine with taking Carter at 6.

I would be against drafting a wing that can't dribble anywhere in the lottery. Not a great track record of these guys expanding their game or excelling in their role.

Ben Saraf and Noa Essengue lead Ulm in G-BBL playoff. Through 6 games of playoff (5W/1L):

Saraf averages 14.5 pts (49.1 / 33.3 / 93.5 split - 63.4 ts%), 3.7 rbs, 4.3 ast ( 3.0 to), 1.2 stl, 0.8 blk

That would be such a CHA thing to do when the perfect prospect for them in VJ is right there.

Salaun Malauch in consecutive drafts. Yikes!

Yeah, I think this year is easier because the answers at the top of the draft are a lot easier. Take last year for example, where there was no perceived right answer so big boards were all over the place. The only guys I feel like I am massively different on than the field are CMB and Kon.

Do you have Maluach outside of the top 17 or was that an accidental omission?

there seems to be some apathy regarding this class going by engagement. 2023 thread has 118 pages and 2024 thread has 150+. Is this class boring?

No, the board has just become much less enjoyable.
