NBA Draft 2025 Open Thread

Fears a good fit for New Orleans.

 

[chief bromden]

Fears to NO is a perfect match. Poole will be a great mentor

 

[SacTownKid]

The Pels really gonna test whether one great defender can make four guys who don’t care about defense look competent on defense

It's kind of strange. All the play in teams out West have like this one thing in common. Interesting.

 

[Tetsujin]

lol, Fears is not even trying to hide how pissed he is at being the unlucky dude who has to go to this New Orleans squad.

Zion, Poole, and Fears is going to be must see TV one way or another hahaha

I don’t think the Pels are even going to be in that playin range now though.

I was trying to figure out who Fears reminded me of, and I think it was the No Ceilings vid that got it. Monta Ellis. They spam the same exact crossover dribble. Fears has big time scoring potential though.

 

[Tetsujin]

Should be noted the Pels still have NO competent centers hahaha

He’s also unfortunately a worse defender than Monta Ellis

Can Stephan A shut the F up!

Missi is decent

this feels like a trade up spot for someone

Zion about to have a 19% USG rate in the 28 games he plays next year.

 

[Kingz19]

Glad Bailey is going to Utah and his effort to dictate the draft order backfired in by the looks of it the most spectacular fashion possible.

Tired of these guys thinking they’re running things without playing a minute and not being grateful for a very very rare opportunity to play on any of the 30 teams.

 

[Tetsujin]

Missi is decent

Hes energetic but he’s not good yet. Really bad at team defense
No offensive skills aside from lobs and putbacks.

Poor Zion going to get tired of calling for the ball while Poole and Fears take turns dribbling the air out of the ball

Switch over to ESPN and you can listen to Bilas put a bunch of words together in sentences but still say nothing. At least he doesn't yell though.

Holy ****

Does ANYONE actually like Stephen A? He never shuts up

Well, thank goodness it's not like the old days when they could hold teams over a barrel for huge money sight unseen.

Just turn to Game Theory on YouTube. Just two nerds talking ball.

No doubt but he can protect the rim a bit and they need guys who never get the ball with that roster lmao

 

[Sluggah]

This about to be the most boring draft ever.

Holy ****

I think that's about right. They like those big playmakers.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Wow

 

[Tetsujin]

The Nets reaching for Egor when he’s in the range of a bunch of al their other picks is INSANE

 

[iowamcnabb]

First surprise of the night

 

[The_Jamal]

Vecenie losing his mind over Egor lol

 

[Tetsujin]

I think that's about right. They like those big playmakers.

But he was slated to drop into the twenties in a bunch of monks.

 

[The_Jamal]

Vecenie has him 26th OOF
