**NBA Draft Discussion 2025**

Just can't fool myself to believe we're getting a difference maker at #20. It's just tool low of a pick.

And I'll say something deeper than that :

Hope matters.

What I men by that is even if your high lottery pick eventually never lives up to the hype,
Even if that great prospect you picked never becomes a star -

at least you enjoyed the process. At least you saw the vision. You got hyped.

You had HOPE.

That's important in sports - you don't always win, but you enjoy the ride as long as it exciting, as long as there's potential for something better.

these picks in the 20's...It just doesn't cut it for me anymore. i can't fool myself with false hope about them. It doesn't matter. They won't matter.

Cheer up Rex

Hard to do when I see where this is going. Doesn't look like anybody in this organization even has a plan to get better.

Defense First
The key to immediate NBA playing time for Thiero will be his defensive versatility and playmaking (2.3 stocks per game). Over the past couple of seasons, the evolving wing has proven to be one of the most poignant defenders in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), if not the country. Arkansas routinely assigned him the opponent’s best perimeter scorer and sometimes tasked him with bigger matchups at both the 4 and 5 spots. As a wing, Thiero offers switchability (1 through perimeter-oriented 4s), a weak-side shot-blocking threat, and upside as a point-of-attack defender.

He’s a gifted athlete with NBA positional size on top of an assortment of explosive and functional physical tools that show up defensively. Thiero channels a blend of fluid movement skills, active hands, length, strength, anticipation skills, and quick-twitch athleticism to impact the game—whether he’s defending on or off the ball. He still must become more consistently sound with his defensive fundamentals, especially on closeouts (often too high and prone to shot fakes), but all of the tools are there for him to quickly develop into a plus NBA defender.

Would like to move up from 20 if Asa drops. If not, Fleming. If not, WCJ.

Rasheers measurements....

[DayofMourning]

Dallas going to jump into the top 4 from the 11th pick. No joke.

Significant because we wouldve had the 11th pick if we lost the playin.
