**The Official 2025 NBA Draft Day Thread**

[spursistan]

Ace's attitude and high bust potential is putting this Jazz rebuild on thin ice..Ainge has been all over the place in his tenure there

[mystargtr34]

Interesting!! Fears to NOP.

[LeBowen]

NOLA takes Fears, I guess they do need a PG while Dejounte is out.

[Mr. Body]

Don't really get Fears when they just got chuckster Jordan Poole who has three years on his contract. Not really seeing a direction yet for the NOP right now. Not a bad pick but weird.

[baseline bum]

yep, Pelicans took Fears. i dont love the player, but them going PG after the CJ trade and with Tre/Kon gone, this made the most sense

It's gonna be funny when Phoenix passes on Jaku to draft Queen and continue their rich tradition of drafting guys like Dragan Bender, Jarrett Culver, Josh Jackson, and the like.

[CGD]

No clue on this Brooklyn pick. My gut says Jaku.

[baseline bum]

Ace's attitude and high bust potential is putting this Jazz rebuild on thin ice..Ainge has been all over the place in his tenure there

He'll be a great tank commander for AJ Dybantsa; Ainge playing 4D chess here.

[spurraider21]

It's gonna be funny when Phoenix passes on Jaku to draft Queen and continue their rich tradition of drafting guys like Dragan Bender, Jarrett Culver, Josh Jackson, and the like.
tbh im hoping for a run on centers right now to make sure the spurs dont grab one :lol

[Biggems]

Tre drafted...
HOOK EM HORNS

[RC_Drunkford]

so NOLA now has 3 PGs? Poole, Dejounte and Fears? Is that supposed to be the poor man's version of Fox, Castle, Harper?

[LeBowen]

so NOLA now has 3 PGs? Poole, Dejounte and Fears?

Dejounte tore his achilles in late January, I don't think he'll be useful in the upcoming season.
Poole is a selfish chucker.

[Leetonidas]

Why are the Nets staff high fiving each other like they drafted Wemby :lol

[Biggems]

Too bad we can't get this #8 pick

[CGD]

so NOLA now has 3 PGs? Poole, Dejounte and Fears? Is that supposed to be the poor man's version of Fox, Castle, Harper?

Since when is Poole a PG? Hes a undersized chucker that had the ball in his hands a lot for a shit WAS team.

[baseline bum]

I'm gonna say Jaku to Brooklyn

[spurraider21]

wow Demin... seems early

[mystargtr34]

so NOLA now has 3 PGs? Poole, Dejounte and Fears? Is that supposed to be the poor man's version of Fox, Castle, Harper?

Yeah $75M per year tied up in Murray and Poole two 6’3 guys and they just used their #7 pick drafting another 6’3 guy lol. Not the way I would have gone.

Holy shit Egor Demin at 8.

[Arguendo]

I can't stand the Spurs continuing to punt these decent seconds. They even got a good one in Tre Jones at #41. Take a chance, there's very little to lose.

Trading #38 is a signal that the Spurs will likely keep #14 imo.
Hopefully, thinking it was mostly they didn't want 3 rooks...but there will be good, older back-up big prospects at #38 (Kalk, Broome, maybe Raynaud) that could help next freaking yr...hope its also a signal they're going hard after Aldama!

[benefactor]

Whoa

[BatManu20]

Wow BKN taking Egor Demin at 8 is surprising. They're hoping his jumper improves mightily. If it does, he could be a pretty good player imo.

[heyheymymy]

BKN really is planning to use all 5 FRPs

they need to but five picks is an undertaking

[baseline bum]

Fuck, Demin at 8 is a shocker

[LeBowen]

Has anyone told them Prokhorov doesn't own the team anymore?

[baseline bum]

Wonder if this can drop Carter Bryant to 14

[Mr. Body]

I'm high on Demin but this seems pretty rich.

[RC_Drunkford]

Egor Demin? Wow. That's good, that means somebody will fall. Let's hope Toronto does not draft Maluach.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good for the Spurs. More options at 14

[Dejounte]

Demin’s talented. It shouldn’t be surprising tbh

[baseline bum]

Looks like Toronto gets Maluach. ROFL if Phoenix still takes Queen here.

[CGD]

First pick that could shuffle the draft

[mo7888]

I had Egor #9. I'm not surprised with the Brooklyn pick.

[mystargtr34]

Surely Maluach at 9 to the Raptors.

[TekXX]

Shouldn't this guy be fighting in Ukraine?

[vy65]

This has to be Maluach, right?

[Uriel]

The Maluach dream is alive :wow

[cutewizard]

Egorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

hope someday we could have someone like this, a lengthy point forward

[Mr. Body]

Demin’s talented. It shouldn’t be surprising tbh

I hoped he would drop to us. He's big, incredible passer, good feel for the game. He needs to fill out, get reps, develop his shot. He's supposedly been a good shooter before. I think he sticks around for a long while and people are wrong about him, but we'll see.

[scottspurs]

Somebody is falling to the Spurs with the Demin pick

[rascal]

Utah/ Brooklyn trade coming

[Degoat]

Raptors were the team I keyed in on a potential trade up for the spurs, probably unlikely tho

[Mr. Body]

Jaku to Raptors would be a smart move. Watch it not happen.

[cutewizard]

i think we shall have a quality 14th

hope the Spurs actually utilize this pick

[CGD]

What happens is Jaku falls to 14?

[Degoat]

I’ll be sickened if the suns get Maluach

[TekXX]

If this Spurs don't get their guy do they trade the pick?

[mo7888]

What happens is Jaku falls to 14?

You take him and figure it out later, unless someone else falls along with him.

[couchman]

Are Spurs trying to trade up right now?

[ulosturedge]

Glad Demin was picked. Now someone get Kasparas. Keep more of the desired Player Fit on the board for the Spurs.

[baseline bum]

I gotta go rub one out to CMB's woman damn

[scott]

Imagine collecting 5 FRPs just to use 8 on the guy you probably could have gotten at 19

[spurraider21]

omg... CMB to raptors

no centers off the board

[Degoat]

Rich Paul looks busy…

[Mr. Body]

Demin might have been there at 14, suggesting the Spurs might not have wanted to move up. Or... teams were whispered to get Demin in the 9-13 range and they didn't want to lose him.

[LeBowen]

ALRIGHT BOYS, WE'RE COOKING.

[ninjaskrzypek]

CMB to Toronto. Wow

[Dejounte]

omg... CMB to raptors

no centers off the board

stars are aligning

[Mr. Body]

Colin Murray-Boyles to Raps.

[benefactor]

Imagine collecting 5 FRPs just to use 8 on the guy you probably could have gotten at 19
I thought the exact same thing. I mean what the fuck

[spurraider21]

have to think Phoenix stops Maluach's slide right?

[RC_Drunkford]

please Phoenix take Dairy Queen. I know y'all want it.

[LeBowen]

Find me a better love story than Masai and wings with questionable 3pt shot.

[cutewizard]

14th is cominggggggggggggggggggggggggggg guys, hehe

[Guru of Nothing]

Thank you, Toronto.

[Mr. Body]

Ready for ya'll to be disappointed when the Spurs trade out.

[scott]

tbh... Maluach just might actually fall to the Spurs if he makes it past PHO here.

[Degoat]

Phoenix needs to fck off lol

[CGD]

You take him and figure it out later, unless someone else falls along with him.

I think so too. This is getting interesting now

[Mr. Body]

PHX badly needs a center. This has to be Khaman.

[RC_Drunkford]

1938027406339580039

[cutewizard]

CMB Raptors, lol

[baseline bum]

have to think Phoenix stops Maluach's slide right?

I bet he makes it to Chicago

[CGD]

tbh... Maluach just might actually fall to the Spurs if he makes it past PHO here.

You think he ALSO gets past CHI and ATL?

[Uriel]

Woah. Increasingly likely that one of Maluach, Bryant, or Essengue will be available at 14 :wow

Excited for Wright to pull off another Primo :lol

[baseline bum]

tbh... Maluach just might actually fall to the Spurs if he makes it past PHO here.

Doubtful, Chi wants a five

[ulosturedge]

CMB said "fuck" when he got up. I'm guessing Toronto wasn't his desired destination lol.

[scott]

1938027406339580039

lol, was this clown your "source" the whole time?

[Dejounte]

tbh... Maluach just might actually fall to the Spurs if he makes it past PHO here.

this is exactly what i meant when i said he could be plan A

[rascal]

Imagine collecting 5 FRPs just to use 8 on the guy you probably could have gotten at 19

Only thing that makes sense is that pick was made for Utah.

[scottspurs]

Somebody good is for sure falling to the Spurs hold the line Brian Wright

[tbdog]

Perkins response before the pick is right. 'they have to get it right.' Great insight.

[scott]

Dylan's Mom v CMB's Girlfriend gonna be the real debate in the draft grades

[Eaglenole2002]

CMB said "fuck" when he got up. I'm guessing Toronto wasn't his desired destination lol.

Yup. He shook his head and muttered “fuck.” He was not happy.

[rascal]

Somebody good is for sure falling to the Spurs hold the line Brian Wright

Spurs are going to have solid choices

[timtonymanu]

I wouldn't be surprised if Maluach is next just so it's a "keep away from the Spurs" strategy

[scott]

Someone take Essengue and Beringer before Brian gets some wild ideas

[Dex]

Suns about to fuck us with the pick they got for sending out Durant.

[vy65]

Kinda feels like Newell is gonna fall … which is funny because he was mocked to us back when we were projected to have 8

[RC_Drunkford]

lol, was this clown your "source" the whole time?

nah I don't believe one thing he says. Just posted this in here for fun. The last time he said Harper supposedly got guaranteed a starting spot. Which I also don't believe.

[RC_Drunkford]

Suns just traded for Mark Williams

[BatManu20]

Maluach falling right into PHX's lap. Just what they need tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

they now have a center

1938043837521248413

[Spurs Brazil]

https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1938043837521248413

[picnroll]

Vecenie has Denims early candidate for worst draft pick.

[Biggems]

I gotta go rub one out to CMB's woman damn

She is a player for dawn staley

[Blizzardwizard]

ST users: we want bryant, maluach, essengue, sorber, jakucionis or beringer!


brian wright: so you're telling me i can get HOW MANY future seconds for this pick??

[TekXX]

Suns finally get to fuck over the Spurs, well done Phoenix

[timtonymanu]

Fucking knew it

[RC_Drunkford]

fuck

[mikec]

Damn!!

[Mr. Body]

It seems like the Suns now have Khaman Maluach and Mark Williams.

[baseline bum]

Damn was hoping they'd take Queen. Oh well.

[BatManu20]

Wait, so they just drafted a Center and traded for a Center..?

1938043837521248413

[LeBowen]

Would've been nice, but we're still talking about a backup big.

[mystargtr34]

So the Suns traded for Mark Williams AND drafted Maluach?

[couchman]

Darn was starting to hope Maluach would fall to us

[spurraider21]

suns just traded for mark williams AND selected malauch at 10? has to be a trade incoming, right?

[Biggems]

Is he the next Mutombo.....on and off the court?

[Uriel]

Ah well. It was too good to be true.

[Dex]

Suns about to fuck us with the pick they got for sending out Durant.

Called it.

[Mr. Body]

Suns have a nice big rotation... or they picked Maluach to trade.

[baseline bum]

With Jaku still on the board all of a sudden doesn't look like a given that Portland takes Carter Bryant

[vy65]

Da fuq?

[Degoat]

Dumbass franchise drafting and trading for the same player lol

[Seventyniner]

I wouldn't assume the Suns are keeping Maluach. They just traded for Mark Williams and were rumored to be active in the trade market for this #10 pick.

[Blizzardwizard]

all those draft insiders pushing the 'SAS want to move up to get maluach' line for weeks forgot about the irrepressible power of WE LIKE WHAT WE HAVE

[CGD]

Portland seems like a Carter Bryant home.

[couchman]

I’m still 100% onboard with Sorber if his foot passes our docs

[Uriel]

Maluach, a Duke player, gives a hug to Scheyer, Duke coach and former Duke player, to shake hands with Silver, a Duke alum.

[scott]

Thought that seemed like a crazy high price for Mark Williams, but that 2029 pick is the worst of CLE/UTA/MIN

[Mr. Body]

Who does Charlotte have for bigs?

[Eaglenole2002]

So is Nick Richards worth anything from Phoenix?

[LeBowen]

Idk what are you guys upset about, there was no way Maluach was making it past Hawks and Bulls that both need a rim protector.

[spursistan]

let's be honest Maluach was never dropping all the way to 14..

[vy65]

Coward
Bryant
Jaku
Essengue
Newell

We get one of those, right?

[Dejounte]

Wasnt big on maluach so kinda glad hes off the board

[spurraider21]

as long as the beringer shit was a smokescreen, this bodes very well for bryant/coward to make it to us

[cutewizard]

South Sudan!!!

[Seventyniner]

:lol Malauach having to wear a Rockets hat knowing he will never play for them

[baseline bum]

Portland seems like a Carter Bryant home.

Doubt they figured Jaku would still be on the board at #11 though

[Mr. Body]

We'll see if PHX keeps KM.

Feeling a bit that the Spurs trade out.

[spurraider21]

fuck, coward off the board. being traded to memphis

[RC_Drunkford]

yeah that trade doesn't make much sense. I guess we'll find out once we pick at #14

[Biggems]

Give them Vassell and a couple of 2nds for Mal....probably can't cause of salary.

[cutewizard]

Now, we shall see the mettle of the Spurs when they pick the 14th.......

a test of human resource management

[BatManu20]

Grizzlies just traded up for the 11th Pick to take Coward. Damn.

[cutewizard]

the trades begin.....wow

[couchman]

Memphis just moved to 11. What do they need?

[Seventyniner]

:lol at whoever that is putting the hat on the podium clearing their sleeves like a casino dealer

[Biggems]

fuck, coward off the board. being traded to memphis

Better Memphis than OKC

[vy65]

Fuck

[heyheymymy]

Grizzlies jumped up and stole Coward at 11

[cutewizard]

Ohhh fuck, Coward was selected

[Uriel]

Coward off the board.

[BatManu20]

Memphis just moved to 11. What do they need?

Desmond Bane replacement. They just got it in Coward.

[benefactor]

Coward gone

[scott]

DAMN Coward robbed from us. Great fit for MEM

[Robz4000]

Spurs gonna get Carter Bryant or Sorber.

[Degoat]

I’m okay with it, dropped another guy down to 14

[Blizzardwizard]

MEM trading up over SAS to get a player supposedly high on their board :lol


sleepy brian wright strikes again :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn, I really wanted Coward at 14

[Mr. Body]

Chicago with a big?

[RC_Drunkford]

Let's hope we can at least get Sorber

[scott]

Sorber at 14 or we riot

[Dejounte]

Coward is a huge reach. Wasnt all that high on him either. We will see.

[cutewizard]

i sense a center coming guys, hmmmmm

[vy65]

Essengue?

[Dverde]

Our gutless fo could have easily traded up but my precious future picks….

[Uriel]

Coward gives me Kawhi vibes from those highlights.

[objective]

I will be so annoyed with Essengue or Newell or Jaku

[cutewizard]

traded to Memphis

can we trade Vassell to Memphis for Coward????

[spurraider21]

memphis gave up a 2028 first a 2 seconds to move up from 16 for Coward

[baseline bum]

DAMN Coward robbed from us. Great fit for MEM

At least he ain't going to OKC

[mystargtr34]

Surely Jaku doesn’t fall past Atlanta they seem to need a playmaker behind and next to Trae young.

That would leave Bryant or Essengue at 14.

[heyheymymy]

Grizzlies got a good player with CC

their scouts always know the diamonds in the rough

[mikec]

Sorber or Braynt please.

[Uriel]

Carter Bryant, Noa Essengue, and Liam McNeeley the highest ranked names left on timvp's big board.

[BatManu20]

We're going to draft a project in Noa Essengue, aren't we :lol

[LeBowen]

Paying another FRP to move up from #16 to #11? They can do that with the Bane stash, we can't.

[baseline bum]

So does Chi take Queen or Sorber here?

[heyheymymy]

Ok grizzlies over paid if they really gave a 28 frp for the jump to get CC

[ulosturedge]

We're going to draft a project in Noa Essengue, aren't we :lol

I mean its a possibility depending on what happens on these next 2 picks lol.

[spurraider21]

Essengue to Bulls. thank god.

one pick away from Carter Bryant. hopefully the Hawks take a backup playmaker like Jaku or Jase here

[Russ]

Spurs gonna get Carter Bryant or Sorber.

:bobo

[KDKSpurs24]

I want Carter Bryant or Noa Essengue!

[Biggems]

I like Coward. He is humble, hard working, disciplined, and self driven. He isn't out here looking for handouts. He is all about putting in the work to improve and grow his game. His maturity will be a welcome addition in Memphis, especially since their star refuses to grow up.

[CGD]

Chicago lithuanian ties in 3...2...1

[Guru of Nothing]

Wonder if Minny would give up much to swap picks with Spurs if Jaku is available at 14?

[thOOdee]

Carter bryant, essengue, or sorber. Congrats fellas

[Mr. Body]

Coward is a huge reach. Wasnt all that high on him either. We will see.

He's the kind of player Taylor Jenkins gets the most out of... oh, wait.

[BatManu20]

1938047670750162969

[vy65]

Taking Essengue or Newell feels like the typical Spurs reach

[emanueldavidginobili]

Queen please drop

[mo7888]

With all the guys that are available, it would make sense to trade back with Brooklyn for 19 + 26

[ninjaskrzypek]

Noa to Chicago

[RC_Drunkford]

1938047670750162969

[scottspurs]

If Sorber is gone and you can’t trade back screw it Kasparas Jakucionis. Figure it out later

[BatManu20]

Essengue to the Bulls

[heyheymymy]

Carter or Sorber is a fine take for 14

[vy65]

I stand corrected …

[mo7888]

1938047670750162969

Gotta be a C...hope it's Queen

[baseline bum]

Good, I didn't want Essengue

[LeBowen]

Essengue is gone.
Good, tbh.

Jakucionis
Bryant
Sorber

Can't wait for whoever is left over for OKC to be the best player of the three. :lol

[Mr. Body]

Surely Jaku doesn’t fall past Atlanta they seem to need a playmaker behind and next to Trae young.

That would leave Bryant or Essengue at 14.

Jaku at Atlanta would suck for us, but this draft has been a bit wild.

[RC_Drunkford]

Queen at #13. Sorber is on the board!!!!

[vy65]

I mean, you take Jaku if he’s there right?

[tbdog]

Wait, Pelicans traded an unprotected 1st next season?

[Biggems]

Ty Chicago

[Mr. Body]

I really like Queen and Jakucionis. Maybe not for the Spurs, but they're both good players.

[Dejounte]

Essengue to Bulls. thank god.

one pick away from Carter Bryant. hopefully the Hawks take a backup playmaker like Jaku or Jase here

it now comes down to my philosophy vs yours. Sorber vs bryant. Here we go

[RC_Drunkford]

don't fuck this up Brian

[cutewizard]

Omg, we can get a quality 14th

Gooooooooooooooooo Spurs!!!!!!

[Eaglenole2002]

Man, the Hawks have been on a heater for the past year. What a trade. I wish we got that trade done.

[Mr. Body]

Hawks traded back to the Pels I think.

[vy65]

NOLA?

[spurraider21]

pelicans moved up for Queen

we have carter bryant on the board (along with Sorber and Beringer)

but wow, hawks just landed a 2026 unprotected pick which is better of Pelicans or Bucks.

[mikec]

Shams is saying New Orleans wants Derik Queen!

[baseline bum]

JFC NOP paid a huge price for this pick

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

What a fantastic trade by Atlanta.

[vy65]

There’s no way they take Jaku given they picked Fears.

[scott]

NOLA trading up to 13, gave up a pick with a MIL swap attached... ATL enters the Giannis chat...

Supposedly NOLA interested in Queen

[tbdog]

My hole is spurs get Derik Queen. But I don't follow scouting reports like some of you. It's just his skill set I'm intrigued with for the spurs. They're all.

[Blizzardwizard]

going back to the UCONN well to take mcneeley (a player they were linked with at the start of the process) would be very funny and maximise entertainment/rage levels on here

[cutewizard]

here we gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[scottspurs]

If Sorber is gone and you can’t trade back screw it Kasparas Jakucionis. Figure it out later

[Russ]

I'd go Sorber.

But Carter is way okay.

[couchman]

Queen to NOLA?

[itzsoweezee]

So Bryant or Sorber to the spurs? I’m not mad at that

[cutewizard]

Spurs, please select well and sign that 14th pick..........!

pleaseeeeeeeeee

we need every talent we can have.....

[LeBowen]

I didn't think Carter was a possibility, would he be worth the pick over Sorber?

[couchman]

With so many good options left at 14 I wonder if the Spurs get an offer they can’t refuse to trade down or out?

[RC_Drunkford]

Sorber is there. NOLA is drafting Queen

[paperboy77]

Hopefully Carter Bryant. If not Danny Wolf would be cool. Spurs defiantly find themselves in a great position.. lot's of options!

[CGD]

What a fantastic trade by Atlanta.

Getting ready for a Giannis play

[twodeep]

Tough call between Bryant or Sorber

Bryant pls

[Russ]

The Spurs dodged all the bullets.

Now just make the pick.

[couchman]

Great trade for Atlanta btw

[Mr. Body]

I really love Kasparas, but they may put him on the block? Or take some dumb big guy who can't play?

[024]

Surprised Carter Bryant fell... hope the Spurs make the easy pick.

[objective]

27 ATL pick is now near worthless, they got a 26 first that is incredibly likely to be a little pick

Just a manhandling, a savaging

Move that 27 pick tonight

[mikec]

pick already in...

like i've been saying for a while those ATL picks are worth diddly squat in a piss-weak eastern conference :lol


the longer PATFO hold onto them the less value they have. use them to make a move this offseason before they become entirely worthless.

I never thought he would fall this far. Great pick

I like the upside.
