2025 NBA Draft Prospects

[Wingy]

Based on right now. Flagg seems like a high end #2 guy. If Matas works out he is probably a #2/3 guy. If you had the #1 pick would you take a risk on the upside of Ace to be that #1 guy or take what seems like a sure thing in Flagg? Which means your two best players might not be #1 guys but maybe are closer to Tatum and Brown then say Lavine and DD.

I like it, made a similar comment to a friend that I envision him having a Tatum/Brown kind of impact. I’d predict that he can be a top two on a well-built, talented team capable of winning it. Not some all-time savior, but certainly a franchise cornerstone and worth tanking to try to grab one of those.

It's hard to tell. I think a lot of that difference comes down to work ethic. I remember the Zion hype a few years ago.

Well yeah, that’s always the part fans can’t see, along with how a player deals with the bigger/stronger/faster part of the game - physically, mentally, and ability to process that. I don’t think he’ll struggle to be successful, again, just to me - I don’t see some savior, obvious multi-time future MVP.

Zion, meh. Dude’s body type always screamed health issues, and very early on.

Zion is a top 10 talent who can't stay healthy.

A PF/C combination of Matas Buzelis and Derik Queen or Matas Buzelis and Asa Newell and the future is bright for the Chicago Bulls.

Zion at Duke was the perfect version of himself. If he stayed at that weight, he would now be a top5 player. Instead, by the looks of it, he put on an additional 50 pounds.

Has he improved much since he's been in the NBA? I wonder how motivated he is to do that because he's already earned 114 million and will make another 126 million (remaining on his current contract).

He has a career 24.7 PER and averages 24 points on 58% shooting. But has already had 2 seasons playing under 30 games.

As of now I’m on Queen ahead of Newell. Only because the weight. Listed same height 6’10” but Queen has extra 40lbs. Tho queen hasn’t hit a single 3 yet! This is only from Box Score watching (or Real life feed)

He might be a top 5 pick on draft night.

KP with his show out game.

That step back 3 looks awesome!

Kid will go 5-10.

Think Ivisic goes in the 20’s. He’s like left handed Vuc with better D. His 3 ball and passing looks exceptional.

Some high level playmaking from KP here.

What's everyone's thoughts on Khaman Maluach?

Seems like a pretty big project, but he looks like he'd be a monster if he pans out.

Exactly my thoughts.

Not a risk worth taking in the top 10 based on all the other talent available.

I don't know, I reckon I'd take a swing at him if I had the 10th pick, buts it's a long way until the draft.

I do not like him at the moment. There's a solid chance he looks better in an NBA setting with better guards and more space to do big-man stuff but right now it's hard to buy into him when he barely plays. He needs reps but might not get them because Maliq Brown is better than him.

At worst Khaman Maluach will anchor your team's defense for the next 15 years. I'll gladly take him if he's available and the Bulls get the tenth pick. Sure, he's young and raw, but give him time to develop and enjoy the reward.

The most skilled big since Sengun. Not sure he'll hold up on defense but the offense is worth a lottery pick IMO.

Derik Queen is a basketball player. I wonder how he measures out at the NBA Combine.
