2025 NBA Draft Thread

Sad that a lot of dudes got hurt and aren't playing tonight but there's still a ton of games and prospects to keep up with

I need wheeler to sit the whole season so Cason can run the bird full time. I saw he got his hood on his arm too.

So that's Whitmore, Lively, Whitehead, Smith. Christ

They’ll all be fine - nothing serious luckily

Extremely early on Jabari. A few offseasons of weight training and he’ll be better at the 5, his conditioning overall will also be improved.

I’d be absolutely stunned if the 3 ball never comes around. When he starts knocking those down then it’s all about punishing smaller guys, which again an overall improvement in strength & conditioning will help with that.

By year 3-4 you should have a very effective player.

Hopefully by then Houston will be thinking about winning & will have a more intentional, defined offense…. And a point guard.

You know who Jabari should be studying? Lauri Markkanen. Lauri's jumper is hit or miss from three (only 30% from three so far), but he can actually drive and post up smaller defenders to balance his offense.

After the 2023 draft, Okc controls the rockets next 3 drafts. Jabari being a brick sets the franchise back even more.

Lauri is/was way more comfortable putting the ball on the ground. Even at Arizona.

Lauri looks way bigger and can handle a bit more.

Was never high on him as a top pick, but Jabari will be fine.

Yup, I was just about to ask what yall thought about Smith

[Vincent Van Goat]

People comparing him to tmac or George

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Barlowe said today that Cason Wallace dad didn’t let him shoot outside the paint until he was 13

That’s interesting

Nice, guys. I feel like this thread is getting better and better every year

Wasn't really sure on GG Jackson but good debut. 17 years old, that's insane. I see he turns 18 in early December

Giving Danny Granger with a lil more explosion vibes (?)

 

[HOU$TON]

He’s a really strong rebounder and always plays with a lot of energy when I’ve seen him.
