When i saw him in the tournament he was shooting the daylights out of the ball from deep.

How many 3&D wings are in this draft?! Lmao

I wonder if Bane trade moves Clayton up on draft boards since his outside shooting and body type gets compared to Bane.

I called this right after the trade. Clifford to Grizz looks seamless.

I think Grizz did see something in the draft that made them move on from Bane

Noa Essengue, Collin Murray-Boyles, Thomas Sorber, Liam McNeeley, Nolan Traore and Will Riley were part of the second batch of players invited by the NBA league office to take in the draft in New York City with their families, joining Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, VJ Edgecombe, Tre Johnson, Khaman Maluach, Jeremiah Fears, Kon Knueppel, Kasparas Jakucionis, Egor Demin, Carter Bryant, Derik Queen and Asa Newell.

Another five invitations are expected to be sent out later this week, a source told ESPN, bringing the final total to 24.

Adou Thiero with a decent jumpshot is probably a top 5 player in this class. Interesting backstory to contemplate. Nothing super reliable, but notable.

Might be something to this late growth spurt story.

Only two prospects worthy of the 20th pick in Richardson and Riley have worked out and the draft is a week away. This has been the weakest workout schedule i could remember in a long time.

I saw that 2025 RealGM Mock Draft post in this board. Looks like only Miami and one or two other teams don't have a rep and it is in 2 days.

I personally know nothing about college players so won't nominate myself, but there are some great minds for it on here. Just mentioning it in case some people don't look at threads below the stickies.

The 2025 RealGM Mock Draft kicks off on June 21 at 9:00 AM EDT, and the Miami Heat are still unclaimed.

This is a no-trades mock where each GM controls one team and makes its draft picks. You’ll be making real-time selections with a 4-hour pick clock (paused overnight). Just show up, draft well, and rep your squad.

To claim the Heat:
Post in the signup thread: 2025 NBA Mock Draft – Signups Thread
Add your name and team on the Google Sheet linked in the first post.

The draft is almost here—come claim Miami and make sure they’re represented by someone who knows their stuff!

I believe Kasparas Jakucionis is a player that will be available around 20

If the Heat make a pick i think its coming down between Richardson, Clayton and Proctor. With a chance it to be Coward. This doesn't mean the pick is gonna be at 20.

Who's the guard pick if all available at 20?
