2025 NBA Draft Thread

[B Sox]

What’s his comp

Shorter Daniel Theis

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Smaller Jerami Grant?

Shorter Daniel Theis

Y’all gonna come to a middle ground on the dudes athleticism

I see little has the same wingspan as grant which is freakish since little is 6’6

This draft is so bad

Hope we get 1 all star.

What’s his comp

Poor man's Tobias Harris

I think I nailed it. Theis is bouncy.

I’m sleeping on theis’ bounce

I guess I was more so thinking grant was a transition open floor type

It’s really not that bad. We just got spoiled with a lot of prospects with potential in the last couple drafts.

Zion is unlike basically anything we’ve seen before, RJ can still end up being a Jimmy Butler level player, Ja Morant is very good, then you have Culver, Garland, Hunter, Bol Bol, Sekou, Porter Jr, PJ Washington, Langford, Rui, Clarke, KZ, Coby, Little and Reddish who I think at the very least could be very solid at the next level. Maybe not a lot of All Stars but a lot of good value role players available.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Word...loaded drafts are a luxury. Not the norm.

 

[ill steelo]

Reddish 35% from the floor overall? Is that right?

Yeah I was mostly just trying to make a random cross-racial comparison

Nas is definitely more like Grant when it comes to the open floor, but halfcourt, I don't actually think Theis is THAT bad of a comp

He never really showed any kind of ability to create off the dribble. Just seems like a rim runner, spot up type, assuming he's playing as a PF. Basically like what Theis does.

Yup

Lots of actual mediocracy. Really just not a fan of anyone outside of Zion, Ja, Culver, RJ, Garland, Clarke, KPJ.

Maybe a handful of starter level talent if we're lucky.

 

[dman14]

if zion turns out to be draymond, that's a win

 

[nick.]

I think Zion being far & away the best prospect makes this draft class seem weaker than it is

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

if zion turns out to be draymond, that's a win

Understatement. Zion will probably average in the 20’s at the peak of his powers

If you couple that with all nba defense/dpoy and switching + rim protection...

 

[Quincy McCall]

I like this draft, rarely is there good options for the Heat at 15 or outside the lotto. I hope they get another pick in the teens or even a second

 

[Moheezy]

Gil has an interesting take on Zion (who is far from perfect)

Someone posted this earlier but I’ll say it again: Gil and his emphasis on post ups

The other two dweebs looking at him waiting to agree with every word

Westbrook’s height

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Gil has an interesting take on Zion (who is far from perfect)

I like how Gil literally mentions Blake Griffin as a comparison but then proceeds to go on a two minute diatribe about how he doens't understand what Zion is gonna do in the league.

 

[Brownstone]

I actually prefer Reddish for the next level over Barrett

 

[B Sox]

New Tankathon mock- http://www.tankathon.com/mock_draft

Really liking who they have the Cs drafting. Have completely sold myself on Bol Bol being worthy of a flier at the end of the lotto, even though I'm not a fan of the foot injury. Like PJ Washington a lot.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Bol Bol in the mid first is a worthwhile gamble

 

[addict4sneakers]

Jalen lecque put in his paperwork

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Easy decision after seeing Simons go first round last year.

 

[pums]

That tall Ben Mac comparison for Reddish is pretty good
