Re: Draft Day - 2025 Edition
I'd take Yang at #23 and call it a night. Saleh has done a plenty in the last 48 hours.

Drafting Chibuzo Agbo would be a Hawks move.
Asa Newell or Jase Richarson
I expect Asa Newell to be drafted before we pick.

The Wizards pick belongs to the Knicks if it lands 9 or later in 2026, so I expect them to tank for 1 more year after which that pick turns into 2 2nd rounders. Maybe in 2026-27 the wiz will start to win 30 plus games and maybe think about playoffs or play-to-play. I'd love for NY to get their pick next year but I'm not optimistic.
Go Knicks!! Go Mets!!
As for the Jets . . . just keep it entertaining.

Knick fans are trashing the NOPs for making this trade. WIth Zion's health issues and the deep west, they're a lottery risk.

Giving up DQ for possibly Asa and Chris Cenac would be a steal!

Re: Draft Day - 2025 Edition
Single best move they've made in years...
What's funny is he's pretty much just a younger version of Cam Johnson...whom they could probably have gotten an even better return for had they held onto him.

I like both of these signings.
I watched Kobe play for UCLA a couple of times in person.
Both Kobe and Lamont will be productive.

Re: Draft Day - 2025 Edition
I'm a little disappointed we didn't dip into the 2nd round for some underrated gems this year.
I think Kam Jones in Indy could be a real find for them.
Rasheer Fleming is greatly needed in Phoenix. (Admittedly, he may struggle early with no real PG or offensive structure.)
Rocco to Minnesota is intriguing.

I knew we had no shot at Flemming. Dude was a fringe FRP, and probably should've been picked by Brooklyn before entering the 2nd round.
I figured we'd take a flyer on Rocco just for his size. That's something we could've used as a 3rd big behind OO and KP.
I would've been cool with Thiero too.
For those interested in CMB, Noah Penda would've probably been a worthy investment too.

Noah Penda for defense, wing depth and the whole French Connection idea would have been great.

Re: Draft Day - 2025 Edition
Johni Broome is a good fit for the 76ers.
Noah Penda goes in the second round as expected. He was overhyped in the last month.
Maxime Raynaud 42nd to the Kings seems fitting.
Ryan Kalkbrenner is who I like. #34 to the Hornets.
