Official 2025 NBA Draft Thread

Mods, I am much too lazy to check whether this is a duplicate thread, please merge if so. That said, I thought this was pretty interesting, to see this way too early 2025 mock nba draft:

2025 NBA Draft: ESPN releases first way-too-early mock draft (on3.com) (https://www.on3.com/pro/news/2025-nba-draft-espn-releases-first-way-too-early-mock-draft/)

It has the Spurs with the:

#5 pick (our own, sadly)
#8 pick (from TOR)
#9 pick (from ATL)

Wait a minute I thought, as I scanned the rest of the first round. What about that CHI pick? Then I saw they had CHI picking #4, OMG. Which got me thinking, what if CHI picked #11 (we get their pick except it is top 10 protected). Then we would have 4 picks in the top 11! I have never heard of such a thing?!?

And what if Charlotte decides to try, and actually makes the playoffs? 5 FRPs.

So we also have people saying our FRPs are gold, and others saying we can't draft so the picks are less valuable. The truth likely lies somewhere in between, but this idea of protected picks is rubbish. I could see top 3 protection or something like that, but top 6, top 10, top 14, every permutation come on man. I was pleased to see that for the CHI pick, we get another 3 years of top 8 protection, hard to see CHI being that bad for that long. Sad to be "treadmilling" with DeRozan, but better them than us!

Charlotte’s pick was essentially a throw in to the Dejointe trade. The hilarious thing is that it was originally traded by Charlotte to NY to draft Kai Jones for them. NYtraded it to ATL,who then traded it to us.

Let’s say it played out this way but CHI actually ends up with the #11 pick, giving us 5, 8, 9 and 11.

I don’t even know what you do in that scenario. Every team in the league will know that you need to be sellers, and will be looking to take advantage of that. Your best options might be a scenario where a very good team has cap issues and needs to offload a really good veteran, and getting one of those later lottery picks (9 or 11) gives them some cost controlled talent. If you ended up with CHA at #15 also? LOL, that would be a nightmare scenario for everyone except NBA2K GMs.

You don't wait that long imo. If the TOR pick doesn't convey this year, bundle it with the CHI and CHA picks and get a good player. Hang on to ATL plus own. If we go past the trade deadline with 5 potential picks we've got the stupidest FO ever.

I would rather have the problem of having 4 high draft picks in 1 year then getting 1 late first every year. If it's me I am hunting for the best two players I think will be starters on this team and if I have to move up a couple of spots I have ammunition to do so. So far in the 2025 draft they are 8 picks that I think are easily better then any of our current players not named Wemby.

Yes the idea here is keep some of the picks and trade some along with offloading a few of our current roster mistakes onto any team dumb enough to facilitate.

Traore and Dylan Harper are both looking like better lead guard prospects than anyone in the '24 draft. Maybe Hugo Gonzalez or Egor Demin as well, if you're thinking outside the box. So it's not the end of the world if that can gets kicked down the road a bit.

[CorrectCrusader]

It's worth noting that Traore is the best player on his team having only been playing in the league for like a month (if I am reading the game logs correctly)

[heyheymymy]

Traore is only 17 and playing well in the playoffs right now

It was his last playoff game, btw. His team lost against ASVEL. Next step for him: French National Team (some would like to see him taking one of the 12 places for the Olympics instead of some NBA cut point guards^^).

[AFBlue]

Sign me up for VJ Edgecombe. Elite combo guard that hustles and plays both ways. Reminds me of pre-injury Oladipo. Will see how he does at Baylor this year, but they typically feature guards on the offense. I expect he'll be more impactful than either George or Walter before him, especially defensively.

[stnick2261]

Calling it now: With multiple picks available, we could get our future 3&D player somewhere in the 1st round... wherever this guy ends up.

Liam McNeeley SF – UConn – HT: 6-7 – WT: 190 – WING: NA – C’24 – Big, strong and highly skilled as a shot-maker and as a defender. Liam is one of the best 3pt shooters in his class and can get red hot from outside. He’s got a smooth and repeatable release and is deadly accurate. Has good cutting ability and feel for moving without the ball.

[Bruno]

Nolan Traoré looks like the real deal. He was measured at 6'4" with a 6'8" wingspan earlier this year, great size for a PG.

Anyway, I hope Spurs won't be in the mix for these prospects projected to be in top5 (and no, Hawks pick shouldn't be top5 as long as they have Trae Young).

They’ve been in the lottery several times with Young. Nothing says it won’t happen again. His value is low right now,and I don’t see it increasing with the team around him. If they don’t offload him somewhere this summer, he becomes a rental in 2025.

Hawks picks is literally #1 with Trae Young. They could very well be worse next year unless they can pull off a DJ trade for a real player. That said, we don't have to be top 5 to get a player of this caliber because there are more than 5 in that draft.

Man 2025 is Night and Day from this years draft at least on paper will see what happens when they actually lace it up next season. I am hoping we get 3 picks something like 4, 9, and 11, sounds realistic to me of which I would love the following players;

1. Dylan Harper - SG, 6’5
2. Tre Johnson - SG, 6’5
3. Hugo Gonzales - SG, 6’6

Lots of intriguing talent... but I also want to see some of these guys actually play.

Guys like Collier, Justin Edwards, DJ Wagner and Aaron Bradshaw were all once 99 rated recruits too. (Flagg and Ace got 100 ratings, which no one in this year's class got).

How loaded the 2025 draft looks (at this point, things can always change) was why I wanted the Raptors pick to not convey (accepting the risk that is never does).

The 2025 draft, and likely (Not certain, likely) ability to add a better #1 facilitator is part of why I'm lower on Dilly as a prospect to pick (not the only reason, mostly the defense).

In general, the 2025 draft should make us evaluate that building a title team is a multi year process, and we're not going to fill all the gaps in one year. Better to really fill some of the gaps well this year with the BPA (Opinions will differ, I'm lower on Dilly, but get the electric ball handling) rather than focus on need at PG.

I was on the fence, then I thought: if Toronto is willing to go to such lengths in order to not have the pick convey now, then whatever the reason is (they expect their pick to be much worse next year, or they expect to tank much harder) the Spurs are unlikely to get a better deal. If this scenario were to happen next year, they would have pulled the plug much earlier, where the chances of conveying the pick would have been very small. Lets just remember we had this pick for Poeltl and it helped us land Wemby, there's going to be a good player there, be that Castle, Dillingham, Sheppard, or whomever, the Spurs need to keep their cool and not cave in to the temptation of hitting a jackpot no one else saw coming.

If it weren't for the fact that we already have ATL (picking #1 this year), CHI-Top10 Protected (picking #11 this year) and our own (picking #4 this year) I would have been with you. No matter how talented next year's draft, I don't want 4 FRPs.

[RC_Drunkford]

if the draft is really that loaded I'll take 3 first round picks and dump Wesley, Branham and Zach Collins for them

[mystargtr34]

It will be interesting to watch the Hornets and Bulls off season as both those picks have a decent chance of conveying. Then you have the Hawks pick and the Spurs pick the Spurs could have 4 FRPs in a strong draft 😂

Chicago appears to want to remain competitive. If they can resign DeMar that would be perfect. They can add a solid piece with the 11th pick (or perhaps they trade it for a PF which is a position of need). I would love for Spurs to sign Patrick Williams though. That makes the Bulls slightly weaker though.

Charlotte is an interesting one. Hopefully they hit on their 6th pick and Mark Williams and Lamelo are healthy they could sneak into the playin. They would have to bump out Atlanta or Chicago which is doable. Still unlikely they make the playoffs but you never know.

If Spurs & Atlanta finished 8 & 9, they'd have similar chances of finishing top 2 than they did this year (actually a bit more, 21.6%). IMO Hawks finish 11-14, no idea where the Spurs end up until draft & offseason unfolds, but in any case I'm saying don't take it for granted, it's a long shot.

Kind of hoping spurs tank for one more year.

WTF is in the water in France? USA is going to have it tough in international competitions for the next 2 decades.

It’s not just France. Euroball, in general, involves ball movement and reversal, the very thing that has vaulted UConn to consecutive championships. I think that will be the next iteration of the NBA, after a lot of resistance. I get the feeling that the US could lose the gold again, and if our domestic stars don’t win on the international stage, that’s a problem for the league.

[widowmaker]

I would run with tre jones for another season and look in this draft for decent 3 and d guys.

[Mr. Body]

It took over 50 years for the first international player to win MVP. This was Steve Nash, who won two years in a row. To be fair, he's Canadian, so... sorta foreign. He was followed by the second international player, Dirk Nowitzki.

The next was Antetokounmpo in 2019. It's now been six years in a row with foreign MVPs and there's no end in sight.

[CGD]

Do wonder if 2024 is the year to draft the guards, and 2025 the wings

[BackHome]

Just take best player not a Center and see who really fits and who needs to be let go or traded. The end of next season is when I think they start doing this and then making a few waives in free agency

People need to understand that 2025 draft is going to be so important to this franchise in either just being a Playoff team VS. an actual Championship team. The difference will be determined by getting either a top 4 pick or two top 10 picks where we can legitimately get two starting players for a Playoff caliber team. This team is not going to be built by making trades for top players we won all of our Championships mostly by draft.

After the 2025 I am cool with getting battle tested seasoned vets to build up our bench. I think people forget that bench was strong during those Championship days as a lot of time we would just wear teams out by being so deep

Because he’s the uncontested #1 r/n in a really stacked draft. Now,in drafts with a number of really great prospects, sometimes the #1 mock player doesn’t get drafted #1. Banchero wasn’t the consensus #1, but he was drafted first. I feel comfortable, though, that Flag will be the #1 in most mocks, excepting a few edgelords. He’d have to fall flat on his face at Duke to be dislodged.

He looks awesome and like the real deal. 45/9/6 is super impressive, but just to temper expectations a little bit remember also that this time last year Nikola Topic put up 49/12 at ANGT competition as well and today there's a good portion of this board that thinks he's going to be a massive bust even without the injury.

From these clips, Traore looks like a potential tanking prize in 2025, looking forward to how he performs over the next year.

March Madness must become June Madness. With all these European prospects making eyes at the NBA just before the draft, American prospects seem like little kids.

About Nolan Traoré, the most astonishing thing about him is the way he plays just, giving the impression that he never forces. He seems to be able to exploit the loopholes that defenses offer him like a veteran against second-rate players (there were undoubtedly two or three future NBA players in Barcelona team). The rather astonishing combination of game intelligence and quality of execution. Looking forward to seeing his decision for next year. His biggest flaw ultimately is being so strong and easy that although he chooses the best option with each attack, his teammates perhaps end up watching him play (even if he maintains an exceptional quality at finding interiors on pick and roll which will end up in the circle or to come out on shooters).

Was thinking this as well. With March Madness long over and American prospects only drilling in empty gyms but the Euro prospects are still putting up fresh data in Pro League playoffs wonder how much money Risacher for example just earned himself simply off the recency advantage.

I had hopes after Charlotte replaced that idiot Kai Jones with Mark Williams, and hit on Brandon Miller that we might get the pick, but injuries wrecked this last season, and anyone who can tank will tank this year. That one’s going to convey as 2 seconds. Hopefully, ATL will be as meh as I think they will, and Chicago decides to tread water for another year.

Ok so who do you think will be in the bottom 10 next season;

1. Washington -
2. Detroit
3. Portland - All 3 battling to stay in top 3 of draft
4. Nets
5. Charlotte
6. Spurs
7. Utah - If they trade Markkanen they they gunning for top 3
8. Raptors - If healthy I actually think they could be a decent Playoff team
9. Atlanta -
10. Chicago - A huge impact will be if they trade Derozan and Caruso - No one touching Lavine contract

DeRozan wants to stay so that should ensure the Bulls being in the play in

Nets don't own their picks and have no incentive to tank. They'll be looking to upgrade and compete. Their ceiling is play-in, but still.
They surely won't be near the bottom.
Would be embarrassing for us if we're behind Raptors, Utah or even Chicago.

I think one or two treadmill teams will surely blow it up.
Utah's pick is top10 protected and they'll make sure they're in top10.
Hawks don't have their pick, but they do have Kings 1-12 protected pick. Won't convey, but who knows, Kings are one Sabonis injury away from being under .500.
Heat's pick will go to OKC if it's outside the lottery. Wouldn't surprise me if Riley blows it up and sits Adebayo at the deadline.

This kid is legit.

2025 class just seems so loaded man. I know we have no room to bitch considering we just lucked into VW but fuck, imagine if the 2024 class was like 2025 and we had picks 4 and 8.
dont worry if we take 2 non shooters in castle and topic we will have a good chance at getting at least 1 great pick
