Just goes to show if a guy is super productive at a young age (18-19) for a big Euroleague club they are probably going to be very good in the NBA.

Its starting to seem like everyone from the 2025 draft class is actually good lol.

Theres an alternate timeline where they get Sengun and Jalen Johnson from that draft class and it makes me sad to think about.

The convo feels like it is going to quickly shift to "Well yeah, Ace is the better prospect but Kon was the right fit". Dude had a really strong debut with 6 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals and a block all while being ultra efficient shooting it from all over the floor.

Kon has done nothing for me to be worried about the selection. they both have looked good at this early stage


Kon averaging 13 ppg, shooting 37.5% from field and 23.5% from three.

Ace averaging 25ppg, shooting 68.8% from field and 40% from three.

Basically, the same thing.

This aged well.

There was a reason I wasn’t worried about Kon

If you watched college basketball last year you could see that Kon was gonna be able to succeed due to being well rounded on and that Ace was more one dimensional. Offensively anyway.
Kon has also been pretty solid on D (and rebounding lol)

We've got two days before our next game so might as well create a controversial topic...lol. [ducks]

Now that everyone has had a chance to see the rookies in summer league and the first month of the season, list the rookies that you would still take over kon. Curious to see how much, if any, people's preferences have changed.

Ill go first. For me, I'm still taking Flagg, harper and probably vj. They are still the only three to me that have an obvious higher ceiling and easier path to Super stardom, while still having a high floor. Only others in consideration would be coward or maybe queen. How much do you believe in cowards ability to expand further on his game? Does he have Kawhi Leonard potential? And how much do you believe in Queens motor, conditioning, defense and consistency?

fears then ace being the last Longshots. I'd probably be out on tre. Love the shooting but he's probably 2-3 years away from getting to the all around level kon is playing at now. I'd take the sure bet in kon.

So highest I'm taking kon is 4th, absolute lowest would be 6th.

Gun to head:

Flagg
Harper
Vj
Kon
Coward
Queen
Fears
Ace

Anyone else? It will be interesting to see who outside of this group that's not getting a lot of playing time right now moves into this conversation later in the year.
