**NBA Draft Discussion 2025**

To be fair, we draft pretty well. Winslow didn't pan out, but Bam and Herro ended up being All-Stars. We didn't get a superstar, but both guys ended up being major contributors as much as people dislike Herro. Bam has been a very good player for us.

Celtics offered like 5 picks he was considered a lock

Riley master class making teams think he wanted Clayton or Traore when he really wanted Kasparas all along.

Not even. If he was, he would be a top 3 pick.

Is he a true pg? Or are we trading Herro?

Hearing people say he'll be hunted on defense, that doesn't sound promising next to Herro.

Hopefully he can follow in the shoes of another Lithuanian guard great Sarunas Marcuillonis

Would have preferred Fleming with WCJ off the board. We don't need another turnover prone player. That's our problem now

He's 6''5" with shoes.

So like 6’4 in chancletas?

We can fix that. Can’t complain getting lottery value at 20

Herro can barely cross halfcourt against pressure defense

Need a wizard handler next to him not another weak dribbler

He has a good stroke / form but average shooting numbers in college

Nah 6"3
It's 6"4 with socks in chancletas

My only concern is there’s no why i think we worked out Jakucionis but either way we did the right thing regardless

Jazz really got Riley? They could have got 3 good picks….guess they wanted another dig at Pat RILEY LOL

SoFlaKingReal · Post #1918 » by **SoFlaKingReal** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 2:39 am

Idk....would've rather traded it for a future pick and opened things up. We shall see. This guy is years away on the Jovic track prolly.

Nobody is guaranteed to pan out. You don't pass on that kind of value at 20. The Heat made the right move 100%.

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