2025 NBA Draft Discussion Part 6

Dylan Harper definitely short armed

[Tofubeque]

Really like the fact that Maluach is likely going to be the pick now, really interested in seeing this team with a 7ft lob threat

I’m not sure he makes it to 9. Based on archetype and measurements he probably goes before Queen.

Jaku looks like a baller. His ceiling may not be as high as many others, but I think he's gonna figure it out and become a solid rotation player for whoever drafts him.

Strongly agree with this. I see a little bit of Steve Nash and Chauncey Billups in him. He’s a floor leader.

I would love to get the #16 from Orlando and get someone else too (eg Essengue, CMB, Bryant). Lots of good talent around 11-16.

He knocked over the pylon. Cross him off our list.

Made a mistake, didn't panic. Onto the next step. Clear caliper prospect.

Knowing that this kid is going to be playing for Charlotte, or god forbid Philadelphia breaks my heart. Having to watch Maxey with that clown Embiid is annoying as is. I hope they don’t take VJ.

A centre coming in 3rd is absolutely nuts! THERE’S your rim running lob threat!

I think this might be the year we actually move up, outside of the top 4 it is super interchangeable so I could see 5-8 maybe willing to swap.

Moving up for Flagg is a pipe dream, but I hope Masai figured out a way to get Harper or Edgecombe. We have to stop settling for mediocrity. The one time Masai decided not to settle we won the championship.

Hopefully New Orleans drafts him.

PG Dejounte - Payton/Alvarado
SG McCollum - Reeves - Hawkins
SF Murphy - Jones - Boston
PF Zion - Olynyk - Matkovic
C Missi - Matkovic/Maluach

I still want to trade for Matkovic. People laughed when I wanted him at the trade deadline but it might be too late now.

Agbaji and cash for Matkovic would give them more POA defense.

Might be in play at the POR pick

I see Sorber as a Al Horford type of big, not a star but a very reliable player that understands the game defends well and stretches the floor

Georgetown alum here. He's TD 21 lite - not going to wow you w/ transcendent athleticism, but possesses a phenomenal innate understanding of the game. Look @ the offensive, defensive splits when he was on and off the court his freshman season.

Do you want a high flyer who's an athlete that plays basketball, but lacks a high basketball IQ (see Jalen Green)? Or a basketball player first and foremost?

The choice is yours (h/t Black Sheep, Dres).

Just draft Maxime Raynaud, who is legit 7'1 and can shoot the 3. YKN seems like an Ives Missi at best. Probably a better prospect than Michael Ruzic.

What makes Sorber a better prospect than Maxime Raynaud. I guess age and more defense. I don't think Sorber will ever be as good as Raynuad on offense. What if Raynaud is a taller more athletic Kelly Olynyk?

What makes Wolf better than Raynaud? Passing and handles. I guess Wolf and Olynyk are more similar.

The point is, don’t waste a top 10 on a rim runner.

So depressing seeing us finishing 9th after hoping for a top 5 pick all year. Nba gave us a 2019 title and said we get NOTHING after that lol

[Brinbe]

combine numbers can be meaningful bits of information, but remember gtj also once recorded a 39.5 max vert, so it isn't everything.

To be fair, the teams who did the best at tanking got shafted worse than us. Philadelphia actually moving up after being one of the lowest, scummy organizations in pro sports is laughable.

they're not done testing yet lol no way someone with a 31" vertical is top 10 in the class

If we were at 8th i could see a world where Maluach is there....But i don't think 8 teams pass on him....Unless he has a bad showing in workouts....Queen might have the better chance to slide down or Kon...

[PushDaRock]

Friendly reminder that Gary Trent Jr. had a 39.5 max vert
