2025 NBA Draft Prospect Part 3

[BoyzNTheHood]

after watching some Traore highlights, his shooting form doesn't look as bad as I thought it did, although I don't think he'll ever be a step back jumper type of player

Reminds me of Tony Parker if I squint, which isn’t surprising seeing as how he probably looked up to Tony.

You guys really want tre and kon?!

No to Kon lol. Tre seems very vanilla to me but I can’t argue against the numbers. Plus he’s decent sized 6’6” and 6’10” wingspan. A bigger but less athletic Bradley Beal / Booker could be his ceiling if he rounds out his game.

They are high ceiling players that probably won't be complete busts. I see both as rotational pieces we could probably use right away. Jakucionis has the size and skills to play either the 1 or the 2 which give us flexibility in the lineups we run.

We don't have any openings with RJ, Ingram, IQ, and Barnes looking to take a lionshare of shots. We need super role players that can make up for the lack of shooting and defense those guys unfortunately have attached to them.

The most likely case scenario is that we swing for the fences and draft a high upside prospect. This is why many of us are thinking Ujiri will go with Bailey, Edgecombe, Maluach, or Fears. I would probably lean towards potential the team as it's constructed has a lot of C tier talent. Everyone we acquired is someone that another team has made expendable, namely Ingram and Barrett.

The tournament will showcase a lot of the talent and round out the top 10. I have a feeling after the tourney guys like Edgecombe and Maluach will have a much higher stock. I would personally lean towards Edgecombe if he can showcase a great shot. VJ will likely have issues hitting threes above the break early on at the NBA level but the defense and corner 3 should be enough to make him as valuable as Agbaji. He has some high bust potential though because of his size concerns and that could affect his close outs and help defense.

I'd be pretty happy with that outcome.
But both guys likely go top 10 so I don't see how we can get both.

Also good chance OKC get Philly's pick in the 7-8 range. Embarrassment of riches.

If you’re going to blow it up, this is the right way to do it.

kasparas vs t80 teams

-0.3 nRTG
eFG% 65.3 => 50.9
AST% 29.3 => 25.0
TOV% 22.6 => 24.9
FTr. .661 => .436
STL% 2.7 => 1.4

there is a natural dropoff but when it's very steep it's a red flag

then you have a guy like mccain last year who pounded top comp up the rear end and it's the ultimate green flag

you generally want to see minimal/acceptable dropoff

I’m no draft guy but Kasparas seems like the guy that’s likely to slide out of the top 5 and potentially top 10. Seems like the hype has worn off but I guess a lot will depend on workouts.

This whole USA vs Canada economic war, I wonder how much it impacts the lottery if it fact the league has a say in it. Esp with JT saying we're gonna boo their anthem.

Let’s get the numbers from the other guys we’re high on, or at least tell us where to get these stats. Is it from Bartovik?

tre johnson's driving is so shady but he has made multiple cross court passes to perimeter shooters for potential assists. that's one way to advantage create without putting the ball on the floor.

also VJ nailed middie pullup over 6'7 player

Brooklyn really should draft Braden Smith with one of their picks in the 20's.

at 15 we should get looking at carter bryant and fleming

His mom was in the military. He can hold a handstand for almost a minute.

I'm afraid Rasheer has a decent chance to go top 10 with the combine and workouts. He'll most likely be drafted in the 10-15 range.

Bryant can likely be had in the 20's if we get another pick before the draft.
