2025 NBA Draft Prospect Part 3

[MEDIC]

Portland pick? pretty blank slate, with some nice tools. Send him to the G-League for a couple of seasons because if both he and Chomche hit we’re laughing.

Right now he’s no better than Bol Bol, but I have to believe our development team is good enough to find something if it’s there. You’re hoping he turns into a better version of Bol Bol, but wouldn’t be mad if he lands on taller Boucher.

I want to draft this guy so I can hear Devlin say the opposition got GOONED.

If VJ measures out closer to 6'5, might have to take him over Bailey.

There is no way he’s 6’5. Looks closer to 6’2 or 3 to me. I’m concerned about his size.

Slowest shot setup ever?

[Gavin_TDThree]

if we land in the top 3 it's going to have such big ripple effects to our SL

If we land Cooper/Bailey: RJ is probably on his way out.
If we land VJ or Harper: IQ/RJ become more likely to be moved. Maybe Dick or Walter (not enough mins for all 3)

RJ seems like the odd man out in a lot of these situations granted.

Question for the masses:

What pick could RJ land you in the 2025 draft?

A no PG line-up is possible too. RJ, Scottie, Ingram, Cooper can all create and dribble

Bailey’s best position may be PF along with Scottie. It would be a rough fit

You don’t really want any of these lanky guys chasing guards through screens. Scottie’s often unable to fight through screens and completely loses his man

I thought maluach was the guy but last Duke game he got dominated and didn't look good at all.

You can argue that he "Never" looks good out there, at least when I watch Duke games. Yes, he's a large human being, but he looks lost out there most of the time. It's like his feel for the game is nonexistent.

I have little doubt he'll impress with an empty gym though. He has a great FG%/FT% shooter, so that indicates a soft touch/shooting potential. But I'm always left unimpressed when watching games.

do you think he would slip to the end of the lottery?

I can't say with any degree of certainty, but the mid/end (10-15) of the lottery seems like good value for what Maluach currently is. I just can't get behind Maluach in the top 5, but 10+ seems like good value.

He reminds me a bit of JT Thor. I just wished he was a better finisher around the basket and played the big man role a little better. Loads of potential though.

However, I'm a bigger fan of his teammate, Miles Byrd. H'es got a role in the league for his defence and motor alone. I see a lot of Dorean Finney-Smith in his game.

That makes sense! So hard to pass on a 7'2 big man with soft hands and huge upside. Would love to have another pick in that range to grab him and see what he can do

I would love to have a player in the mold of this guy as our backup big. I was looking through 2025 UFA's and there's not much in terms of backup stretch bigs.

I’d love to take a flyer on this type of player even if he doesn’t pan out. Masai did it last year with Chomche, so maybe he’s okay trying it again should the opportunity arise. This kid and Chomche would dominate the G-League, and probably cause quite a bit of havoc in the NBA too if they even hit 50% of their max potential.

He definitely has a lot to work on lol but I like highlights at times, especially for prospects with sky high ceilings because they show what can be if the work is put in.
