2025 NBA Draft

[scottspurs]

Queen for sure needs work on Defense but I’m drafting him over any prospect not named Flagg.

[spurraider21]

Queen and Nipple are the kinds of players i'm worried about. no doubt they're highly skilled players. and between them, at least Kon tries defensively and can do some decent things on that end. but they are low level athletes and thats when it becomes challenging to figure out of some elements of their game will translate at the NBA level against bigger, faster, stronger compe ion

at least with Kon there is a baseline. he's going to be a reasonably sized SG that will be able to get shots off in catch-and-shoot situations, and he can make the right decisions when trying to punish a fly-by

[objective]

What's the hype for Queen again? An overweight, below the rim, average sized PF who can't shoot 3s or defend?

Sign me up!

[John B]

Yup Queen is just so complacent on D. But offensively he’s a beast. Is that laziness? Because Spurs will not have that.

He's got a sweet post game and potential to stretch the floor. Just not sure that the same team that passed on superior version on this archetype (Sengun), will selected that player this time around with a potentially better draft pick.

Can't tell. Wonder if most of it is fitness? Then again, Spurs wont tolerate that either.

highly skilled, undersized center. the hope is he becomes something along the lines of Sengun

Bold

[CGD]

The more I read about Condon, the more I like. He's been compared to Isaiah Hartenstein but with some range.

[scottspurs]

The best spurs comparison for Queen would be Boris Diaw

[scottspurs]

The thing people don’t understand about Queen is that he is still transforming his body from being almost 400 pounds at one point in high school. His body is still developing. He has worked hard to be a better athlete. Has the potential to be a better defender once he gets his body in better shape.

All I want to see out of this game is Flagg v Bryant

Diaw was not bullish in the paint. Queen reminds me of Z-Bo, undersized big body

So far Bryant is non-existent

[Knoxxx]

You guys are thinking right but thinking small. Demin currently projects to be there with the ATL pick. This draft is wide open for us to snag two more excellent prospects. And that’s not even counting Carter Bryant possibly being there at 38.

[Mr. Body]

So far Bryant is non-existent

Carter Bryant is almost entirely theoretical at this point. He's the sort of player who should strictly be a second round option.

[Knoxxx]

Bryant was recently mocked to Spurs w/ATL pick. I’d agree that seemed quite a reach to me when we could get Demin/McNeely/Fleming there. Kalkbrenner is squarely back in play at 38 though, a ready made big with range. I don’t really love the bigs we mock to get in round 1, with the exception of Fleming who doesn’t really solve our backup C problem.

[scott]

Cooper Flagg is really really good

[John B]

Flagg is head and shoulders above everybody with 18pts already in the 1st half

[mystargtr34]

Cooper is ridiculous. He’s going to be a hybrid of Garnett, Kirilenko, Kawhi.

Also, I’ve been quite impressed with Kon this game. His dribble drive game seems like he can get in the paint often, his shooting, his physicality going to the rim and defensively. His measurements are going to be the deciding factor for me. If hes 6’6 barefoot or more with a 8’7 or higher reach I’m interested. But still not convinced.

[Mr. Body]

There hasn't been a white American All Star since Brad Miller and David Lee. Flagg will change that.

Mock draft from Kevin O’Connor who’s now at Yahoo.

Was thinking the same watching Kon (my first time watching him live), though I don't think there's any way he's 6'7". Looks more like 6'4-6'5" out there, unless all these other guys are giants.

Games like tonight would have Queen rising up to top 5. I like Sorber at 23. He could be the steal of the draft.

I don’t know I think because he’s stocky he doesn’t look as tall as he is. When he stands next to Flagg who looks a legit 6’9 I feel like there’s no more than 2 or 3 inches max between them.
