NBA Draft 2025 Open Thread

[Tetsujin]

i would not go with Fears or Egor over Kasparas but maybe I’m just built different.

Just looked at ESPN's draft tracker and noticed that 18 out of 30 picks in the first round this year have already been traded. And that's with no draft-day trades yet on the books. I'm going to be disappointed if Scott Perry can't get a first round pick back this year when it seems like teams have been wrestling over each other to get rid of the things.

Egor is one of the more well rounded potential guys in the draft. Not sure about the fuss.

Raps not passing on 7’ 7 wingspan

 

[Makaveli]

Wow

Excited about egor?

 

[Tetsujin]

Nets fans are not happy hahaha

 

[SacTownKid]

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

I never bought into that. Young SF size with PG potential is pure boom/bust. The all offense stubby guards will look good for a year, maybe two. If this guy pans out you slot him in anywhere.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Excited about egor?

Surprised he went there. Had dropped on most big boards I’d seen

Ouch, the cohost on Game theory

"I had him as a back-up creator"

 

[Tetsujin]

They really got rid of Ben Simmons to get a less exciting version of Ben Simmons haha

 

[Rain man]

I think #9 is where the draft begins. Toronto is the first team to really consider a trade.

 

[The_Jamal]

Time for us to lose our minds when we trade Domas for RJ+9

He didn't have a great year -- I'm not sure he should have stayed in the draft. But he's still an impressive talent. With 5 picks, the Nets can afford to reach on upside.

 

[Tetsujin]

How in the hell were people comparing Egor to Tyrese? Haha

 

[jiimbob]

number 9. isn’t this our pick

If the pick is Maluach, count me in. Sabonis had 3 years to show up for us in the playoffs and didn't do it. He's a nice enough guy but not a franchise player if you ask me.

Better be hella more picks and iq in that package haha

There is no such thing as a less exciting Ben Simmons. Sorry

 

[SacTownKid]

If the pick is Maluach, count me in.

Dropping to Spurs confirmed.

It's so interesting watching these drafts knowing that a good number of them won't even be rotation players in 5 years

THE PUREST MASAI PICK POSSIBLE HAHAHAA

 

[Tetsujin]

6’7”. All the length. Good at defense. Can’t shoot a damn. Peak Masai being Masai.

Jabari Paker mixed with Kyle Anderson.

You sure bout that

 

[iowamcnabb]

Crazy

 

[Tetsujin]

Phoenix really gonna get Maluach. Unless they Sunzz

 

[iowamcnabb]

Damn that’s a huge win for the Suns

 

[Tetsujin]

Jabari Paker mixed with Kyle Anderson.

He’s way better at defense than either guy though. If he hits he’s Draymond without the crazy. That’s a huge if though.
