2025 NBA Draft Thread 2.0

Jace is an outstanding pick. We just drafted our Mike Conley. He is crazy efficient. Can hit open shot. You dont play for Izzo and not play defense. He and AB can absolutely play together

[jonbob17]

I don't understand why everyone expects the next pick to be a center. In my estimation we have 4 on the team right now, believe Isaac's best bet long term. If a developmental drops into our lap, sure.

Forwards:
Paolo
Franz
TDS - might be a 4 long term, and is a bit of a question mark
Houstan - if he was making more than $2M he'd be cut
Isaac/Moe This was kind of a 2 big lineup where Moe's offense was able to make up for JI's lack of it, and vice versa on the defnse. But the idea should be one big, and 4 skill guys. Get the most skill on the court as possible

Isaac is not a center.
That experiment ended in massive failure.
He’s a PF.
He’s already lost the weight.

Then JI should be the guy to go, because he doesn't have enough offense for the position, and if Paolo is going to be playing 36 minutes a game, and 40+ in the playoffs then Isaac doesnt have a path to minutes either.

Jase is the same size as Reed Sheppard (6’2” w/ shoes) that everyone was drooling over last season.

However, Jase has a 6’6” wingspan (Sheppard 6’3”)

Jase is better across the board in almost every advanced metric than Sheppard.

Reed Sheppard was a top-3 pick just last year…

Whoah

I do think they have to move up if they want a C.

Look at teams in front of us ; Hornets, Pistons, Pacers (traded up), Wizards, Warriors, Lakers (traded up) all could really use a backup center. Warriors and Pacers I think both would love Broome as he can pass in their systems and play right now. Hornets seem like a threat to take Raynaud/Fleming if they stick with their shooting theme.

Maybe they have no plans to move Goga or Isaac and are going to bring Mo back and don't want a center? Who knows.

There's like 16-17 guys I like remaining right now as legit solid 2nd round prospects and we pick 16th so we'll see what happens if we sit.

If they go center they probably target Goldin.

[RookieStar]

All I gotta say is... if we don't trade up in the top 6 spots in the 2nd round, we won't be able to land our fan fave Raynaud/Kalky

Seems a lot of teams are targeting them as well

Don't think any team will draft him. We probably do unsigned him or something.

Lakers just bought the #45 from CHI? And they are looking for a 7ft C by all reports....

Suns making all sorts of moves in the 2nd round.

[Knightro]

Shams says the Suns made the move for Fleming. Good value at 31.

[RichCollab]

Suns doing something right? Wish we did the same.

So we could have at least moved up to 41, probably not enough for a decent big but something to keep an eye on.

I’ll consider it a a small victory if we can confirm Weltman is awake.

[Magic_Johnny12]

Suns are absolutely killing it. They arguably got the two highest upside prospects in the draft.

Maluach and who?

They're going to take Fleming at 31.

I wouldn't necessarily say he's one of the highest upside prospects, but he is good value where they are getting him.

[Howard Mass]

It's the 2nd round. Magic have #46 and #57. Doubt they use them both, maybe one or trade up.

Hoping the Magic use a pick or trade up for them to get a Two-Way Contract Player.

Koby Brea is my favorite.

I like Maxime Raynaudand Ryan Kalkbrenner would be nice too.

Tyrese Proctor, Chaz Lanier, John Tonje, Micah Peavy, Alijah Martin, Adou Thiero, Vladislav Goldin, Ryan Nembhard are also on my Board.

Hoping we have a player to celebrate from the 2nd round.

We're not bringing in 2 2nd rounders. Package them to move up into the low to mid 30's please.

Any camera on the Magic war room? I wanna see what pizza they ordered
