NBA Draft Thread 2025

My Danny Wolf dream has been shattered for Timberwolves. Damn you Nets.


He plays like a mini Jokic playstyle wise.

You think a team of Zion, Fears, Queen, Missi, Poole, Trey Murphy and Herb Jones will be competitive in the tough West?

Maybe they're a surprise, but I doubt it when you consider Zion's health and counting on two rookies. I'm also not big on Poole.

New Orleans is going to finish 13-15 in the West. Book it.

I think we’ve competed in the west with less talent, and we’ve made and fought for playin spots with stars missing most of the year.

I don’t think it’s possible for us to have as many guys missing as last year. Even for the Pels.

I hope for your sake and other Pels fans they are competitive, but I just don't see it. Relying on Zion to be healthy, I will not be fooled again.

Wolf and Mcneely having their Rashard Lewis arc

What is Sacramento trading to OKC? Probably an unprotected pick in 2033 or some ****.

Edit: The pick is San Antonio's 2027 first rounder (protected 1-16). If it doesn't convey, it turns into two 2nd rounders.

Not bad really. San Antonio should be dominating in 2 years anyway.

Weird that the Nets are drafting so many guards....maybe we're getting Ben Saraf and Danny Wolf for Beringer?

Once they traded Schroder and Ben Simmons, they literally had no ballhandling playmakers. Now they have Demin, Traore, Saraf and Wolf. That's a lot of guys who love to pass the ball. Sean Marks has nailed this draft.

This is why I stick with the draft 3+ hours in. Toe fungus commercials...

ESPN's ad cycle is so funny. I love that I had no idea this was even a thing until like a year ago when they had those ads show up once at every. single. ad break.

If the Bucks and Pels end up 15-20, it’s inconsequential tbh. But if Giannis is moved or Zion misses 3/4 of the season….

With the first pick in the 2026 NBA draft the Atlanta Hawks select...

Pelicans and suns have the most incompetent FO. wtf?

Ah yes getting the best center in the draft and trading for another young center.

TERRIBLE JUST TERRIBLE

They have 6 centers on the roster
I never understood why some fans approve their FO so passionately. I remember some Suns fans being happy with Josh Jackson and preferring him over Tatum even after their first year. Same with Ayton vs Luka

Hugo is excellent for the Cs. For any team, really. He's awesome and was surprised to see him slotted in the 2nd round in mocks.

Forget genetics...pocketbooks is what you really meant.

I won’t be totally shocked if they crash, cuz PelsLife, but just two seasons ago we won 42 games with Zion playing 29 games and Ingram playing 45. Just last year we won 49 games. The young core that kept us afloat is older and better than it was. We’re a long way from a title contender, but this is far from a basement dwelling roster. Poole is basically a younger version of CJ, a 3rd or 4th guy way miscast in a leading role.

The team still has a lot of young talent that is getting better. Murray is probably a write off this season. Winning 20-25 games would be a complete disaster and playing way below it’s talent level.
