Re: **NBA Draft Discussion 2025**
Doesn’t give me the feeling that he’s a big game riser considering that he melted down the stretch
Heat just got embarrassed in the playoffs 2 years in a row and are in desperate need of a big game performer
Career tracking contrasted with WCJ is gonna be interesting

WCJ might start off hotter, but in 2-3 years Kasper is gonna ghost him.

Re: **NBA Draft Discussion 2025**
No matter what, im just glad we finally got a plus passer/playmaker. No more undersized SG or forwards forced to play PG. We got an actual PG that isnt ancient.

Do not do this SA… leave politics off this board please. We all need a safe and politics-free escape from the current chaos that is US politics and crumbling global relations. Make hit comments towards Spo and Riley, Wiggins, Rozier, JJJ, 3ammy, etc, but digging at the former VP and opposing presidential candidate, only implies you are in support of the current chaos and word salad of administration and are also stirring things up in here… you see, getting me started. That’s why, leave government politics off of this board or at least off of the non-random thoughts threads.

20. Miami Heat: Kasparas Jakučionis, G, Illinois
Grade: D+
"The Heat were probably hoping for Walter Clayton Jr. with this pick. For every beautiful assist Jakučionis had as a freshman, there's an equally ugly bone-headed turnover. He had 11 games this past season with more turnovers than made shots. As a primary creator, he's not a Tyrese Haliburton type. Think more along the lines of Spencer Dinwiddie; he's one of your guys on the roster, but he's not THE guy."

Good thing we didn’t expect to find THE guy at 20, dumbass.

Would love to see us try to hop on either one of the Hornets pick 33 or 34, or the BKN pick 36.

What makes it funny is that KOC had him number 7 on his big board.
So, the 7th best prospect drops to a team need his exact skillset, and its a D+...?
Thats one way to think about things.

Hope you're right.
I'd be happy to be wrong.
