2025 Draft Night Picks Discussion

[darealjuice]

Big fan of this pick. All of the makings of an excellent role player at power forward. Very surprised he was available at #31.

[garrick]

This should be a nice acquisition. Big that's versatile and can shoot? That's a big set of immediate pluses for us. How long before he works he way into the starting lineup?

Fairly quickly because Dunn and Royce are not true PFs.

Pretty excited with this pick to be honest and the new GM has made a ton of moves that I have always wanted JJ to make but didn't.

This guy wanted Fleming at No 10 for the Rockets (before the KD trade).

The Suns are finally taking the correct approach with Ishbia at the helm. Hopefully, he's learned you can't cut corners in the NBA.

I'm excited about this pick. What I love most about Fleming outside from his skill set and physical/athletic profile is that he can play with C's like Maluach and Williams because he has range on his shot. With their 7'5 wing spans, they would also cover a lot of ground out there. Also interesting as well, he seems to be able to defend in space too and if Maluach shows he's also able to do this, that's two bigs that could be a real menace in PnR defense

If Reynaud drops to 41, I will be extremely happy. He would fit in great as a 4 next to Williams/Maluach. Plays outside in with great interior passing

[Qwigglez]

Hornets take the center that I heard the Lakers wanted.

What are people's thoughts on Ryan Nembhard? Led the NCAA in assists at 9.8 a game (that is rare to hit a # that high in college) and avereaged 1.7 spg. Also shot over 40% from 3.

If he has his brother's tenacity in him, I wouldn't complain here.

Just a little small like Chris Paul was in college.

Celtics were going to take Fleming at 32.

We owe them for Tatum

[schnakenpopanz]

Richards/Oso/Allen/O'Neale at least 2 of them have to go.
Other than that a very good draft for the Suns. Give them vredit where its due.
At least they are trying to develop something.

CP3 was great in spite of his smaller stature. I have a very tough time coming around on players that small, even if they are great shooters, passers or whatever.

If he is a true PG that would be rare in the league right now too, but I think Reynaud would still be my pick with with his versatility to play the 4 with good shot blocking and passing.

I would rather trade in for a more experienced PG, I think.

[SkyBill40]

We need a point and possibly another small forward or stretch forward. I think we're solid at the pivot now. But if Reynaud is there, take him. I still like Broome but no one seems to be high on him despite being fantastic for Auburn.

Edit: Whelp. So much for that. Nice get for PHI.

We screwed ourselves on that.

Josh Jackson reportedly refused to work out for them because he wanted us and was promised by us to take him at our spot. Not sure who's call that was McD or Sarver, but I like to blame Sarver for everything so I'll go with him.

In a different world, Jackson blows Boston away and we take Tatum. I remember alot of mocks had him going to us back then.

It's a Gregory pick. I'd give him the credit.

[Blonde]

I was working so I missed all the action, but hell yeah on Flemming. Absolutely beautiful asset management to move up and snipe Boston from being able to grab him. Really excited about this kid.

Development season incoming

But he is more ready to play. McDonough passed on Brunson for the French kid I cannot remember.


If you can get a player, lower ceiling, high floor maybe. Dare I say TJ McConnell that just is positive

I am willing to be a bit more conservative for a solid steady PG presence

[dremill24]

Was hoping they might snag Thiero too

[starbosa10]

Lakers moved up like 20 spots with just cash today lol
