2025 NBA Draft Prospect Part 3

[Thaddy]

Condon is too frail and unathletic he isn't going to be good. Take a flyer on Z. Ivisic. We need 3pt volume and rim protection. His game can be cleaned up by Darko over the years.

steph curry was drafted 7th

get a superstar. no excuses.

3 out of the top 5 players for MVP odds were picked later than we will select. SGA (11th), Jokic (41st), and Giannis (15th).

His stock is so low that I would take Z with the Portland 2nd promising him a 3 year deal.

How is Condon frail? He takes contact well and dishes it out. He plays rugby and was drafted to the pros (AFL). He caught a 1 handed alley-oop!

I admittedly don't follow college hoops as much as some others on here but he didn't necessarily seem frail to me. His athleticism scares me more. He does seem like a really polished player though. I guess if K.O can play in the NBA athletically so can Condon. Defensively looked pretty solid. Weird how only one of 5 mocks I just looked at had him drafted at all (and he was 26th...). If he can be a more athletic K.O (a low bar lol), who defends better but with less playmaking that's a pretty solid pro to me. I wouldn't hate it.

He seems like a level of prospect like Carlton Carrington last year that was mocked in the 2nd round and by the end of the year was a late 1st. Then from the combine and workouts he rose to the middle of the 1st round.

If Florida makes a deep run he might get as high as Edey.

We’ll see because Florida might be the best overall team. They’re really good and should go very deep into the tournament. They might even win it.

I already told you guys man.

Edgecombe could easily end up a Top 3 player from this class. Only players I think are a lock to be better than him are Harper and Cooper.

Condon reminds me a lot of Poeltl

[MEDIC]

Maybe someone falls. We knows. We may have a no-brainer pick fall into our laps. There are a few candidates.

[Mark_83]

Edgecombe is perfect for this team. He fits our player type, and he has that dawg in him. Him and Scottie would be tearing it up at Caribana.

His dimensions aren't similar, isn't a bucket from 2 and I can't imagine at his size the screen setting is as good but I'll pay attention eventually. It's why that comparison doesn't fly with me. But he has a high iq and seems quite athletic and possibly strong enough to hold down the interior as smaller 5. More of a pf/c tweener whereas poeltl true 5. If anything he's closer to a draymond in archetype if he genuinely has a lot to grow into the next few years and can become an elite passer and defender. But he lacks some of the base skills that dray does so I wouldnt make that comp either.

[BoyzNTheHood]

If we end up 5-6, I just hope a guy like Jase Richardson is there. Dude is top 6 for me.

1) Cooper
2) Harper
3) Edgecombe
4) Ace
5) Tre Johnson
6) Jase Richardson

After him, I’m good with Fears and Sorber, and maybe even CMB. If we flop on this draft I’m immediately trying to project to 2026 and offering Scottie to see if anyone potentially in the top 3-5 worst teams next year bites.

I have major red flags about Thiam. His OReb%/Dreb%/Reb% are all shockingly low for a 7’2 C

To me that is a question about his drive and motor. That is harder to fix than skills.

Strength and narrow frame seems to be the issue, similar to Porzingis:

https://www.nbadraft.net/players/kristaps-porzingis/

The other consideration is regarding his rebounding ability, he struggles to get a high number of rebounds and this leads many people to consider him the new Bargnani

Build is an issue. But someone like Boucher, who’s a dog during contract years, isn’t very big and managed to have respectable %s during his 2 years at Oregon.

IMO after Flagg and Harper, the next tier is filled with guys who have flaws, whether it be size or shooting or feel or production. So I'm not too concerned about dropping a bit in the order, and trusting Masai to find the best piece. I often think of 2016, which was heralded as an 8 player draft, and the Raps' pick (via NYK) landed 9th. A lot of people lamented the fact we were gonna miss out on Marqueese Chriss. Instead, it was that draft that laid the groundwork for the title; Poeltl at 9th, a key piece in the Kawhi deal; Siakam at 27th; and FVV undrafted.

Should have a better scouting website than the above (I always feel it is not very accurate).
A good scouting report would have stated it:

https://nbadraftroom.com/kristaps-porzingis-nba-draft-scouting-report/

Has a slight frame and will likely struggle to put on weight.

Is Harper really going to be better than Scoot? I wanted Domantas Sabonis.

Anyways, Condon is a rim runner, lob threat and much more agile than Poeltl so can guard PF's and even swingmen on switches.

Being a triple threat at the top for DHO's would unlock the offense.

think about how we fleeced the "weak" 2024 draft

this FO's strongest suit has been drafting and developing for 15 years almost.
