Feel like this draft is already worth discussing... considered one of the strongest and deepest in recent memory.
Aside from the big names like Cooper Flagg and Ace Bailey, who are some of your personal favorite prospects from this draft class that you believe can change the trajectory of this team moving forward?


Two of my favorite names: Nolan Traore and Dylan Harper. Both guys are near locks to go top 10 - for reference, they'd both easily go #1 in this year's draft.






Who are some other guys worth keeping an eye out for this upcoming season?

French PG? Yeah I’m out.

Seriously though the draft does look great. Would've preferred the 2025 Pacers pick over this year’s if we could have gotten it.

Still hoping we can miraculous acquire a 2025 first round pick from a team. Even if its a late first round pick.

At least wait for this year's draft to finish..

On the one hand, we should tank. On the other, we need BBQD to develop.

We could easily get a late first from OKC for Poeltl. They're going to be desperate for a big this off-season.

2026 will be the better year fyi btw

It's funny you mention Nolan Traore because I was watching clips of 2025 prospects the other day and Nolan immediately jumped out at me. Super skilled with both hands it seems, although I didn't see too much footage, he seems very legit

The other two that caught my eye were Hugo Gonzalez and Egor Demin. Originally I was watching Egor tape and I was like, "who is this #10 setting him up for all these shots?". Then I realized Hugo was projected slightly higher in the draft. Both intriguing

I'll keep tabs on those three as the season goes on

Nolan Traore absolutely dominating ANGT.

2025 Draft Prospects? Giggity...

really? based on what?

It may be very unpopular opinion here...but I think Cooper Flagg has to prove himself in college in order to claim "the prize" of 2025 draft...now...if Flagg grew over 7 feet tall that's another story.

I was arguing to people on conveying the pick this year. I dont know if some of the prospects would go back to school, but it is a good draft, much better than this year. Worth to keep our pick for it.

I dont think Poeltl worth a pick, and his contract is not friendly. I think it would be Brown and Boucher getting us extra picks. I am hoping we take a bad contract or two with our cap space for picks as well.

We could also rent out our future capspace via Brown as well. There will be teams looking to duck the tax and/or that need a big. If Masai is unable to acquire an additional pick in 2025, it won't be for lack of availability.

This kid is already moving up everyone's draft boards.



He's special.
Cade-clone.

Our 1st round pick will be traded for Alex Caruso, top 3 protected.

Also interested in seeing how Big Z does at Arkansas. Currently he's projected to go late in the first round which again just goes to show how stacked this draft is. He's a VERY SKILLED big man. Just hope he can get stronger this summer and have a healthy season.

Better prospects. AJ Dybansta would go #1 this yr & next yr & will be #1 in 26. Boozer twins, Caleb Wilson, Jayden Q, Koa Pete many more as well

Dybansta could be TMac 2.0.

Traore did so well at the Nike Hoop Summit that he move into the lottery, but now he's a lock for the top 10 and may be as high as #3.

I guess late lottery can draft Ivisic.

Lose every game by 1 point, but play BBQD heavy minutes to develop. Draft high, and next year, win every game. 82-0 easy.
