2025 NBA Draft Prospects

[Muzbar]

Watching the Bailey hightlights makes me genuinely angry that we are not doing a better job of tanking. Im really pissed.

Still early days Clint, I'm hopeful that the team just organically sucks enough for a chance to pick up a top 4 in this draft.

I truly think there is a better chance of us improving prior to the deadline than making tanking trades. This team is going to compete, and we will lose our pick this year. You can put that in the bank. Its not like Arturas is deceiving us, he flat out said it.

Early days? Sean Kildraftpick says hello. Early season wins count as much as late season wins. Every win is not removable.

Yes, it's still early days. I understand your frustration and feel it also.

But, the Bulls are currently 7th in the lottery odds with teams like Philly and New Orleans, who are dealing with injuries, below them and the win/loss totals aren't much different. Since the 3/2 start, the Bulls are 3/8.

I agree with you that the team is going to try and compete, I don't have much faith in AK, but he has been rumoured to have been shopping Zach and Vuc in the past and with the improved play this season he may still very well find some suitors.

I'm cautiously optimistic the Bulls won't lose that FRP.

I guess its slightly possible we end up with the 7th pick and choose a 6’6’’ defensive minded 2/3 who has a hitch in his 3pt shot shooting 23% from distance, but is really well regarded by his teamates as a team player.

Vj Edgecombe had a rough night. 10 points on 4-15 shooting.

The team has played relatively well in patches this season and they still have the 6th worst record in the league. Philly & NO should recover at some point to overtake us in the standings.

There aren’t a heap of genuinely bad teams this season. Utah, Washington & Toronto are the main 3. A few cellar dwellers are improving in Portland, SA, Detroit & Charlotte.

We’ve been really healthy too. It’s not hard to see us with a bottom 5 record once we trade off a couple of veterans and a decent spot for a high level pick.

From your lips…

I dont share your optimism. Been a fan too long. And this front office inspires no confidence.

Ace Bailey plays exactly like Tatum. Does anyone else agree? Perhaps a little more explosive.

I don't care what tbhe offensive system is Ace Bailey is gonna score in it.

IMHO he reminds me more of MPJ than of Tatum.

Baily is much more athletic than Tatum but Tatum had much more polished footwork when he attacks on Isolation in college basketball. On the other hand Bailey rarely shows elite footwork when he attackts on Iso. I think he really needs to improve his ball-handling and footwork to be THE guy on the offensive end.

He takes too many tough shots but who cares if he manages to make most of those difficult shots? His shot making ability has been really impressive so far. Let's see if he keeps to connect those tough shots against top competitions in college basketball.

Who's the better scorer between Ace Bailey and Will Riley?

MPJ is so mechanical due to his back. Ace is much more fluid and can raise up anywhere and let it fly. His stepback looks good. Once his handle develops and he learns how to change speeds and use his body you are looking at an elite offensive player that can also be a difference maker on defense.

Who's the better scorer between Ace Bailey and Will Riley?

Personally think right now Riley is more refined in his on ball and off ball skills package… dribbling , fakes, side steps, euro, spin etc and much better getting open in space off ball. Both shoot really well of movement.

Riley’s frame is the big question. If he can get stronger and get through contact he could be special. Ace already can.

We will see how both do against Big Ten defensive intensity.

No need to care about this draft. The directionless Bulls have no plans to make it a priority.

As long as they can get into the top 4 they should be able to get a really good player.

Honestly, think top 8 can yield a 1st option ceiling player.

With the new lottery odds it’s total luck.

Thoughts on Rutgers loss to Kennesaw St. today.

Dylan Harper: Displayed great body control and touch at the basket. He's not the most explosive but he knows how to use his size to get to the shield off defenders and get to the rim. Very patient and under control with the ball. Don't know if he's a PG but regardless he's a good playmaker and has the tools to play both guard spots. The shot is something to watch for the rest of the season. There's a chance he passes Flagg for the best prospect if he shoots the ball a bit better.

Ace Bailey: More impressed by his ability to play off-ball. Showed good footwork and looked comfortable coming off screens despite not having a good night from the field. He only had one shot attempt at the rim and that was because of a loose ball. Didn't have any success creating separation from defenders when he had the ball. Being an elite shotmaker is great but you'd like to see him get to the rim as relying on making contested shots in college isn't ideal. The passing and decision-making with the ball need work as well.

[DASMACKDOWN]

All I know is we need to draft another guy just like Matas and also an athletic rim protector. So we need 2 players.

[Chi town]

Dylan Harper is already so good on both ends. He would look great next to Coby or Zach.
