2025 General Draft Discussion 2

[SWedd523]

I’m seriously asking if there’s anything we could do at this point that wouldn’t have you guys complaining lmao

(I agree not being able to move further up is disappointing)

This draft shows the front office is all over the place. Kon is a pick that tells you they think they can still compete with the current core, but then trading Mark for nothing shows that winning still likely isn't the goal. We picked the most low potential pick possible while also putting us in an even worse position to compete.

I guess I was the only one on here that wanted Kon but I think he offers them flexibility with whichever path they choose. If Melo/Miller stay healthy this season and the team exceeds expectations, Kon is a natural fit between the two while they try to build around this current core. But say this year is another disaster and they look to trade LaMelo, Kon naturally fits any type of future path they take for roster construction.

I think you've lost your mind if you think shoving Kon into that perimeter group is a recipe for success.

The only way Kon "fits" is as a 6/7/8th man

Nice landing spot for Jase.

[MPM]

We were saved from Jase. Good luck ORL.

[GiggitySmalls]

I would rather have Asa Newell than Salaun

Hell freaking yeah! No doubt.

are we actually choosing Kon then selecting 29, 33, 34? Gross.

Unserious franchise yes that's exactly what we are doing.

Give me Raynaud, and Ryan Nembhard!

[Braggins]

Nice pickup for Orlando. They could use another guard that can shoot. Jase might be their 4th guard this season (Bane/Suggs/Black/Jase).

[MPM]

There is zero way we will get Fleming at 29. Just stating this as a fact.

[Bassman]

Here is the theme song for our draft tonight: Neil Young “Helpless”. Listen and relate…just substitute “North Carolina” for the lyric “North Ontario”.

Of course they will screw that up.

Bro... you are wrong. Kon knows how to play basketball. When you watch him in some games you are going to appreciate. There is no better skill than knowing how to play, what to do, where to be when **** breaks down.

Thats the only way I'll sleep decent tonight is if we can get him there.

I'd count it as a win for sure.

[GoBobs]

Also, you need need need guys that hit their free throws. When you are in the heat of battle, 2/2 means something really different than 1/2. If you 0/2, just go home.

I know how to play basketball too

[JustBuzzin]

I would trade up and get Fleming. He's exactly what we need at the moment. Someone who can play defense!

Drafting at 4 for a guy who makes free throws in the heat of battle

[Bassman]

Yeah, idiot circle jerk committee at the front office gonna just use the 3 remaining picks to grab another crop of tryouts, hoping at least one sticks. Remember the endless auditions last year? Same thing, different venue.

I HATE PETERSON.

[Snidely FC]

Hoping for Hugo

[JustBuzzin]

Wolf is crying red alert he's soft

[bravor]

sigh, i wanted Ben Saraf here...

Anyway, at least there are pieces to trade for upgrades. Hope something will be done with Nets for Claxton

Speaking of Nets, they are collecting guards/secondary offence initiators in this draft

ffs they get all interesting late prospects
