This draft sickens me so far. It genuinely is on the 2024/2013 level horrible for getting a top 5 pick.

Now; there are some really cool role players and some interesting bigs so far. But we need a star, we need a ball-handler and a playmaker, and this draft is shaping up to be all time HORRIBLE in that respect.

Im really struggling to find guys i like in this draft like alot of people have said. What a horrible year to have 3 1sts. Trade 2 of them for a good quality player, but that would make to much sense so we won't.

a new lottery system starts this next year, right? so if we get two picks between 8 and 16, we have 2 chances for a top 3 pick, even a #1, if I am right. That's about all I have to hope for right now.

Eh all the games thus far have been blowouts so he sits most of the game. Kansas plays Kentucky tonight and I’ll tune in to see him against actual competition.

Regardless this draft is meh

Its still super early. Sure there are no AJs, Flaggs, or Wembys, but give it some time.

Who the hell is this kid? Not sure who to believe about when he's coming up, saw others say he's draft eligible 2028 at the earliest.

He turns 18 so he should be eligible for next years draft.

Obinna Ekezi is my early front runner. I wouldn't mind going double big with him and krivas. Thats could be enough talent to eventually trade moose and dump kalk.

Sure hope we get lucky and come away with a high pick. Comes off the bench for big money NIL guy Bidunga so there's a chance he won't go top 5. Reminds me of Mark before the injuries.

Speaking of genetic freaks, looks like the Spartans found themselves a lost Thompson twin. I get the feeling offense is another story though.

Meanwhile still early in the season but Kharchenkov putting up some gaudy numbers nonetheless.
