**NBA Draft Discussion 2025**

Tank has us drafting high ceiling point guard, Nolan Traore.

I looked him up yesterday and I can't say that I came away impressed.

Hes had a rough six months. Prior to that, he was really playing well.

Anybody u like late lottery?

I'm currently all in on Jeremiah Fears.

I'm about to look at some SF guys tonight though.

Hes a good option. I like his play through contact. Hes kind of skyrocketed up after being unknown. Will be fun to watch how he handles March.

Could have two picks between 10 and 14.

I'm thinking PG and combo PF/C. We don't really have anything behind Bam and Ware.

I need the best pure scorers and ball handlers we can find. We are fine in the front court. Can sign a vet 4/5. Let Ware, Bam, and Jovic do there thing. Once the backcourt gets better everything else improves

My thoughts were Fears and either Newell or Maluach.

I see the need for another big so bad. Maluach would be SUCH an amazing reserve to have come in to spell Ware and provide another valuable post player.

Tre Johnson would definitely help in the scoring department but he's probably going top 6

Take a look at Thomas Sorber. Just started my dive into his film. Can play the 4 and the 5. He's listed at 6'10 though.

Hes on my watchlist. I really do want as much size and length as possible. It really makes a difference, especially when that player is skilled.

I'm in on Jeremiah Fears also and not on Traore based on what I watched just in a few highlight clips. Obviously those never tell the full story and at the end of the day, I trust Miami's scouts over anything I would watch and believe (though I was in on Maxey over Precious).

But I was in on Reed Shepherd and Rob Dillingham last draft at 15 and just saw them inch up and up through the lottery. I feel like Fears has that same trajectory.

Just at a glance he looks like he creates offense, puts pressure on the defense and breaks it down and I want my lead guard doing that for all our complementary guys. Only thing is like with De'Aaron Fox, if that lead guard isn't really a shooter, then the other guys on the team need to be, which means Bam needs to continue to evolve that shot.

Just started looking at prelimn boards. Are you sure this isn’t just a top heavy draft? See a bunch of Euro’s going in the mid teens. Expecting to pick in the mid to late teens with Warriors pick. I see Fears a lot but he looks like a top 10 pick. I’m looking at the prospects between 15-25

Def doesnt feel like last years draft. The top five or so look good.

Im sure once we start looking deeper at all these prospects that we will feel better about the range we could be drafting in (10-20 from my POV).

That's what was missing from last years draft, a top 5 or so that was a tier above. This years draft is seeming to have some depth potential behind the top tier throughout the first round--I'd argue that was the case last draft as well.

[MettaWorldPanda]

Just quick peeking and looking at Heat profile guys and Kam Jones out of Marquette is someone I want to look into more as we start building up more towards the draft and find clarity were we will be picking. He's a senior and an older prospect at 23 but also more ready to step in and contribute. Early look is he has a nasty lefty shot and kinda moves around like Harden.

[MettaWorldPanda]

Jase Richardson out of Michigan State. Son of Jason Richardson. Went to Christopher Columbus right here in Miami. Have to imagine we would have plenty of intel on him. Will have to really dive into this one without a doubt. Another scoring playmaking lefty. We have been missing a good lefty here.
