2025 NBA Draft Prospect Part 3

[DreamTeam09]

Been following Baba Miller for while now and he has finally come together as a player at FAU. I would be tempted to draft this 6'11 guy who does everything on the court. He looks NBA ready but need a look at him in the Combine and workouts to see how he looks against more NBA type guys.

Just found a recent clip of Miller's.

Read on Twitter

He has good size at 6'11 and he is mobile, can handle the ball and shoot it (he made huge improvements on his FT%). I know there are a lot of stretch-forwards and Cs in the draft, but I think he looks physically pretty ready (he has a strong base and can really move on the floor) and I think there are genuine balls skills/IQ to his game. I'd consider him with the Portland pick because he has made steady improvement in three years.

I've liked him in years past, I was hoping he'd be a SF tho, but he's still should be in consideration for the Portland pick. I love my 6'11 guys that can do a little bit of everything & dribble

Idk what we’d do if we fell lower than 7.

Imagine going home with a guy in the the “Kon Knueppal” tier

Poeltl being healthy really hurts the tank lol.

Most likely undraft.
I also like a few players for our Portland pick, and there would be a few of these players left (in no order, and measurement might change things as well):
Miles Byrd
Isaiah Evans
Noah Penda (Tobias Harris)
Adou Thiero
Alex Condon
Yaxel Lendeborg
Kanon Catchings
Alex Toohey
TJ Toppin

This draft is just so deep that you may able to get some good players from undraft to play for the two-way contract.

Are there comparables for underclassmen bigs with assist to turnover ratios above 2 and more than 1 steal per 40?

I'm trying to figure out how much of a unicorn Condon is. (Especially considering he is new to the sport).

[Indeed]

Where are you guys ranking Dink Pate? UDFA? The tools are drool worthy, but the production is puke worthy.

He's going to get drafted, probably 2nd round but someone will take a flyer on him.

Have not put things together yet, mainly transition player at this stage.
If he does not improve in the G-league for the last 2 seasons, are you still going to put him into the G-league next season for development?

4 players, mainly in So:
Alex Condon
Jake Wahlin
Tucker Anderson
Jake Ensminger

Tried filtering further back and for only major conferences and got Ensminger again (but he's pretty bad at everything else), along with Franz Wagner and Kyle Andersen. Neither of which are centres.
Wondering if Condon can be a bigger, more mobile Sengun without the scoring ability.

Idk what we’d do if we fell lower than 7.

Imagine going home with a guy in the the “Kon Knueppal” tier

Poeltl being healthy really hurts the tank lol.

We are likely headed for the 7th odds. That means we could fall a couple of slots lower. We have to get another pick in the draft and hit it out of the park.

If we don’t get a second superstar, we are kinda screwed since you can’t tank next year, we will be too good.

I really think they should have traded Poeltl - even if you don’t get a great deal, atleast it wouldn’t ruin the lotto odds. Someone like Atlanta (2 1sts this year) would gladly swap Capela for Poeltl.

You trade Jakob, finish 4th, & drop to 7-8 regardless, then what?

One thing I noticed from this Duke game, Maluach besides being such a great screen, the low man has to tag when he rolls so that cross court pass to the corner 3 out of the PnR is that much easier to make

Hard to tell he is big enough to be the NBA standard of C, and college references may have him taller or longer.

To be fair, freshman may have a lower T/O, probably against better competition on their first year, so I might not take the same standard for freshman. I might just look at Asst%

How can one man flex so much?

I don't see any of the other bottom feeders needing Maluach, which means he'll likely be on the board when its our turn.

Wizards (Flagg)
Hornets (Ace or Harper)
Jazz (take whichever Rutger is left)
Pels (have Missi - likely take VJ)
76ers (have Embiid - likely take Tre Johnson to pair with Maxey/McCain)

Raptors - Maluach (makes too much sense)

76ers would take Maluach and cash out on Embiid if they think Maluach is good enough.

Cash on out what exactly?
Embiid's value is at an all time low. And no one is gonna wanna touch that contract with a 10ft pole.

i want 3 things and of course scoring star potential is 1 and then a big center prospect is 2...but if cooper harper vj tre ace kasparas are gone and khaman follows...i dont even know who i want after

the 3rd thing i want is big wing perimeter defender that can shoot the 3.....can we trade down for 2 lower 1st in 17-23 range and target both carter bryant and fleming?

i dont love a lot of guys in the 8-15 range on mocks cause of their piss poor defense

[hyper316]

I really like Danny Wolf, stretch big and can play perimeter def

What is he ranked?
