Intriguing talent that I do like.
Rough around the edges but that can be solved once he develops his shot with the pro's.

Tomas Sober is a pass to me even before I reviewed this.

Jase Richardson is the real deal but his measurements are disappointing. There is no denying how good he is as a shooter or how electric he is.

Jamaal agrees...on both.

I do believe Jase Richardson has the goods to be Trae's backup for a few years...and then eventually his replacement.
In that scenario, Dyson would run point while Jase guards opposing PGs.

Do you think Jase can be a floor general and run the point?

I don't even think he should...he's most dynamic as a scorer/shooter.

But Jalen Johnson and Dyson should theoretically be able to run Quin's offense as the primary initiators 2-3 years from now.

This just in:

Always Draft Best Player Available

The value of a hit could be enormous compared to the initial cost...

Cedric Coward 1.7 blocks per game is impressive.

I hope he brings that energy to the NBA.

If there is a trade in Philadelphia’s future involving the No. 3 pick in the draft, don’t expect the 76ers to move down very far on the 2025 draft board. League sources maintain that the Sixers are determined to add a dynamic young talent to their core after the tremendous fortune they enjoyed in the May 12 draft lottery. – via Marc Stein @ marcstein.substack.com
