NBA Draft Thread 2025

Yay another Aussie drafted to the NBA !

So happy for Rocco. Look after him Lakeshow, you will love him

Didn't the Lakers trade up with the #45?

Yes that's why I said Lakeshow, unless you think i meant the Minneapolis Lakers

Hey the Thunder took Brooks Barnhizer. I thought he was well on his way to all- Big Ten then he got hurt. Guy is pretty underrated. Making their roster is obviously very difficult, but this dude can play.

He should be on a two-way deal.

The Thunder need some better players on two-way deals. Right now their only two-way player who is worthy of being on an NBA roster is Branden Carlson. I know that I'm nitpicking, but their other two-way players last season (Adam Flagler and Alex Ducas) aren't NBA-level players IMO.

Flagler's one of those guys who dominates the G-League but may not make the NBA. Then again, I thought the same for his former teammate Jared Butler and he's grinding his way as a third string PG. Brooks is an underrated athlete, yet he plays strong as ****. He's very much a do-it-all wing.

I watched the OKC Blue games at times, your analysis is correct. Cheers.

Thanks, cheers.

I was wrong, that pick was traded to Minnesota.

All these draft night trades happening so fast I can't keep up haha

I like the Amarri Williams selection for Boston as well. He was a huge surprise for Kentucky and showed noticeable ball skills. Crazy thing was, at times watching him, it seemed like you were watching a 7'0 Naz Reid due to his ability to handle the rock.

Another Aussie, Ty Proctor at #49

Was it a Taco Bell commercial again?

[doogie_hauser]

Let's go Cavs!!! Proctor

Wow now that is an incredible bargain/steal for the Cavs. So happy you pinched from under the Knicks noses too lol

[JujitsuFlip]

He has almost 111 million dollars left on his deal. You really think they'll just pay him that much to go away?

I know he's not a 50+ million dollar player, but has his ability to play basketball dropped off that much? If he was paid 5 million would Phoenix look to get rid of him?

That's the rumor. But he has a NTC, so a trade is not an option. They're just done with him.

I'd be surprised if it happens. When is the last time a athlete had that much money left on his deal and a team paid it so he would go away?

Blake Griffin is probably the closest off the top of my head.

Let's go Proctor!!

Late 2nd round is going to be renamed Aussie Time. Toohey next up.

I liked him more after his freshman year, but the guy can shoot the ball. However, he's not a point guard. That's what we learned these last two years at Duke. He's basically Landry Shamet and if he shoots better than that, maybe he can get to Wayne Ellington's level. Still a pretty young guy as well.

Surprised Toohey hasn’t gone. I think he ends up the best out of all the Aussies

[doogie_hauser]

Malika and Jonah Hill (Windy) keep yapping whilst a team's pick is in. So annoying

[OxAndFox]

I'm a Kings fan so I love Toohey, but I'm not bullish on his NBA prospects. Hoping he gets drafted, but Rocco is the guy out of this for Aussies IMO.

Spike polite applause, turned to his buddy like “who tf is Kobe Sanders?”

[doogie_hauser]

Sanders was a Knick for like 5 seconds haha

Assume the Clippers are sending #51 and cash for #50?

Doesn’t help that the NBA Draft is run horribly by the league. It’s a disgrace that they don’t actively update logos and trades. If a trade gets unexpected rescinded, just announce it afterwards! Awful, awful coverage.
