NBA Draft 2025 Open Thread

[hrdboild]

One thing I will say about this draft, it's rather shocking how many of this year's projected lottery picks can't shoot the ball. Kindof makes you wonder if this 2025 or 2005.

Murray-Boyles is definitely of the Masai template. Masai doesnt think you can ever have too many 3’s and 4’s,

Whereas Monte seemed to think one was sufficient.

 

[Tetsujin]

**** it. Trade up for Kasparas.

 

[sactowndog]

Hope we are trading for that Colin Kid

 

[Makaveli]

Phoenix really gonna get Maluach. Unless they Sunzz

They have no center. I mean gotta take maluach

 

[Caccia]

What is Brooklyn going to do with all those first-round picks? Apparently they have a yen for Demin. Four more to go.

Scottie Barnes, YOU are a Sacramento King!

They are both 4s for sure. Odd

Really solid pick for the Suns. Also pisses off the Spurs which is nice.

Oh crap

 

[Makaveli]

Well phx just got Williams from Charolette

 

[Tetsujin]

This is the third trade the Suns have made with Charlotte in in 2025

Wowza, that's one way to upgrade your C rotation

If they're trading for Mark Williams do they still take Maluach? Queen would make more sense next to Williams.

 

[Tetsujin]

Uhhhhhhh the Suns gonna block Maluach’s development with injured Maluach who is bad at defense haha

They probably aren't looking to start a rookie.

[Turgenev]

Fox for Maluach please.

 

[hrdboild]

The Suns also made Jalen Green the centerpiece of the Durant trade despite having Devin Booker so they don't seem to care about team chemistry.

 

[Tetsujin]

They probably aren't looking to start a rookie.

The thing is that Mark Williams still plays like a rookie.

Yeah, I think Mark Williams "looking" like an amazing rim protector doesn't actually fit the bill. He's been baaaaad on defense.

Weird. Hate this quite a bit, unless they're rerouting Maluach somewhere else

 

[gunks]

Fox for Maluach please.

That would be so effin funny

We can see why the Lakers pulled that deal with the quickness, haha. 29th pick and a future 1st. Wonder what the strings on that are.

Wow.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dude went from a second rounder looking to pull out of the draft to a lotto pick over a month

 

[iowamcnabb]

So dumb.

Least favorable of Cle/Minny/Utah. So very likely like 24+
