2024-25 NBA Draft Talk

[Onus]

Will be interesting to see who is our starting center. We know who the closing center will be.

If we don’t bring in another center post better start. He needs to be fire hosed with defensive experience.

I just don't think he's talented enough to be a starting center for any competitive team.

He might not be but we can’t play dray 82 games at center. Post is going to be needed as a stretch center and he needs the defensive experience and we need to find a way to hide his defensive short comings. Especially if we were unable to bring in another stretch type center, which isn’t really available in free agency.

He’s a top 10 shooter for the center position easily. If teams can find a way to hide Sengun, KAT, sabonis, naz, etc we should be able to find a way to hide post with Jimmy and dray next to him. Those 2 should be able to cover for him since they’re both intelligent and communicative and can cover a lot of ground. It’s just finding a scheme that can cover and rotate around him. We won’t be able to find a better shooter at the center position.

Post obviously needs to work on his game as well most noticeably getting stronger and seeing plays develop which is why he should play a lot in the regular season.

Hell if we draft raynaud he would need the same exact thing.

Coward is probably going Lottery the way he's being hyped up.

I’m just hoping one of those guys are still on the board with Byrd and Condon being the most likely.

The Warriors have a clear need at PG. We need another ball handler that can contribute right away. My vote is Kam Jones as he has 5 years in college and he can go the Post route developing in the g league as a 2 way before joining dubs during the season. Curry going down just made it clear that having no backup PG results in a disaster.

[Onus]

anyone else still like condon after measuring undersized for a center? Feel like his mobility for a near 7' is great and he's still going to be great on defense even if he's a bit undersized length wise. I think he can be in the tier below all nba defender with just his ability to cover so much ground. He's like temu version of the unicorn 7' rim protector that can shoot. Shooting is pretty good as a catch and shoot but terrible outside of being able to set his feet. Just a bit undersized but covers a ton of ground on defense. Sets good screens and can keep an offense moving. Feel like his hype has died down since the legit sized centers took over the combine but I would take Condon over Raynaud.

I still like Condon, but my biggest concerns are:

- His strength more-so than length. He’s pretty lightweight even for a PF.

- I don’t believe in his shooting. He’s had two years of bad FT and 3-point percentages.

why isn't Tomsilav Ivisic showing up on mocks

why isn't Tomsilav Ivisic showing up on mocks

Staying at Illinois and going to play with his brother. He’s mocked as a 1st rounder next year from what i’ve seen.

I actually never liked him. I thought Castleton was a better prospect and he hasn't done much so I can't really take Condon seriously.

Yea I agree he’s more of a pf than center which really forces him to become a better shooter. If definitely less high on him and would probably take one of the guards before him.

Kam is intriguing as a scoring punch off the bench but he doesn’t really seem to fit what we do. He takes a lot of dribbles to get his shot off. His scoring game would def stick out in our type of offense. Feel like he’s temu James harden with how much he needs to dribble to get his shot off.

[Onus]

I really want alijah Martin or Kobe Johnson as an udfa

[EvanZ]

Kam Jones makes Moody look like Kuminga athletically.

Honestly the guy Kerr would play immediately is Darrion Williams. Highest IQ in the draft for my money, which it’s not.

Is he even still in the draft?

I think there’s plenty of guys Kerr would play.

Darrion pulled out of the draft earlier this week. Has committed to NC State.

But what about Podz? Just kidding. We know Steve will play a guy like this with Podz and Steph at the same time.

Ah hadn’t seen that.

[whatisacenter]

Older 2nd round picks have a better chance of playing under Kerr. More experience and are just happy to be in the league.
