2025 NBA Draft

The latter.

id guess 5-7, after flagg/harper/bailey/edgecombe, depending on how people feel about malauch and jakucionis

I'm unsure about Johnson and McNeeley both, but would be really happy with that result. I'd be okay with something like McNeeley and Queen. Although he's not a shotblocker, etc., Queen's profile and smarts are really intriguing as a swing.

Yeah at 9 and 12 I think we're just going to have to be pleased with guys who project reasonable upside but have question marks and that is perfectly fine. There are obviously no sure fire picks there. We all just need to accept that not all picks will pan out and that's okay. Even the occasional Primo-level miss isn't catastrophic so long as you don't make a habit of it. I'd say Sochan and Vassell were not optimal but perfectly solid picks. So long as you do that, you'll be fine because you hit home runs with Wemby and Castle. IMO, that's what OKC has done well. Got Chet and JWill as home runs (though Chet can't stay healthy, so tbd) and are just doing solid work with the rest of their picks and can absorb the inevitable misses (Dieng).

I just hope we avoid swings on guys like whoever this Joan kid is, or this year's Tidjane. Those picks are fine for a CHA who just needs to take big swings, but we're past that.

So even with everything that Castle has shown, Bailey and Edgecombe still rank above him as a prospect?

College Castle - Yes

Edgecomb is going to be wild. He creates a lot of defensive events, AND he can shoot the 3 ball.

[ginobilized]

Edgecomb really passes the eye test for me. He looks like a seriously talented and skilled player. I haven't seen much college ball this season, but, his clips pop in a real way. I'm hoping that we use both draft picks and knock a current player or two off the roster in some trades this summer.

[spurraider21]

yeah i was sold on him the way he held his own in the olympics

he reminds me a bit of college westbrook/oladipo. just a very high level athlete who also knows how to play. competes on defense. the shooting has been better than expected and his form looks totally fine.

his first tweet since july

thats good enough for me

Peer recruiting!

Sochan playing poorly

[BackHome]

Castle and him together would be sweet

ATL trailing, double loss would be good for our postions.

Givony super obviously has a lot of intel but is paid by agents to push agendas. He does it all the time and his words should never be taken literally.

In the case of Castle he might have even been carrying water for the Spurs, who knows. It was weird, to say the least.

It’s sad,because as an independent, his web site was top notch. I guess everyone has a number, and ESPN wrote a check that hit his, but yeah,he’s just a corporate shill now, and can’t be taken seriously. He’s also another guy like Lowe who was really good at analysis,but sucks at the Shams/Woj style gossip game.

[Dejounte]

Imo, I view Fox as a force multiplier for developing guards on the team. Like, I think he would be a great offseason mentor for Castle. Drafting another guard like Edgecombe would probably be a plus for us even if it’s a little crowded. The team in the future would be nonstop elite guard play with one of those three relentlessly attacking.

A pleasant surprise

This draft is truly rich, lots of potential

Hey Wizard could you please post Maxime Raynaud Midseason Highlights

If we are not top 4, I think McNeeley then Knuepel are serious targets. Demin dropped to #17 so he could be gettable with an ATL pick 15ish. ATL pick also makes me eyeball Fleming though Sorber/Wolf/Broome are legit options late first. Still like idea of trading up into early second and eying Kalkbrenner there. He is on the fringe of being there with our own SRP. If the prospect is an area of need, which for us is frontcourt, it is legit to “reach” because for example drafting someone rated 20-25 at the 15 spot is not really a reach in that situation.

[Guru of Nothing]

Seems like drafting a 7 footer in the second round of every draft to develop in G-League would be a good idea. Squirrel them away like an NFL team might do with a QB prospect drafted in later rounds, and if player development is robust enough, they either hit, or can be dealt for 2nd round capital to recoup cost (on average, not every single time). There should always be a big prospect available to call up instead of having to pull in randos on a 10-day contract.

[Knoxxx]

Some of these guys like Kalkbrenner don’t look like they need much G league. Kalkbrenner has a mature post game and also shoots 42% from three and blocks shots.

A taller Sochan?
