NBA Draft 2025 Open Thread

[MizzouKing]

They don’t even have an owner right now

Feeling kinda jealous of Portland then...

 

[Tetsujin]

Jumping the gun, considering this is now the range we were expected to maybe trade into

Kasparas lasting all the way to this point changes the urgency of this though haha

 

[joemama]

Wasn't it around 20 the Kings were targeting?

21 Utah?

Blazers don’t really need anything so they swung. If he is Sengun that’s a big time win

Not impressed with Sengun.......a Magoo.....he sucked vs the Warriors.

 

[SacTownKid]

Looks like it.

Perry would have to be able to pry one away from them with that Spurs 1st.

I looked absolutely nothing into this draft outside like a smidge of Ace Bailey and Kon. What's the "Perfect upside player comp"

 

[SLAB]

Even less reliable when you select Thomas Robinson top 5.

Imagine being in a lottery six times in a row and coming away with Jimmer Fredette, Thomas Robinson, BenMcLemore, Nik Stauskas, Willie Cauley Stein, and George Papagiannis.

It’s like that mystery hypothetical team was trying to fail.

To me, he’s like a turnover happy version of Tyrese.

He was the best player on a 50 win team, I’d say he is pretty good

Yahoo draft show talking about Clayton can play the same role as Steph. Can we just stop with these stupid comps.

Greivis Vasquez. Big guard with good passing skills, no great evidence of leading an offense yet but young.

Tetsu, you got some explaining to do

So many memories. 1,2,3, Nik Rocks!

Haha, realistic or unrealistic? Luka.

I don’t see Vasquez in him at all tbh

So who is the player projected to go in the teens to early twenties that Scott was hoping would drop? Flemming?

Kasparas

 

[Makaveli]

Nique Clifford is only guy that worked out for us in too 20. And he is still on the board. We are at pick 19 and Carter, Malik, lavine, demar, and sabonis are still kings

Whaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Tetsujin]

It’s Miami Heat pick time. Call in the DDR trade now Scott.

 

[Makaveli]

If Miami wanted Clayton maybe they are more apt to trade #20 now

 

[Makaveli]

Devin Carter to Miami for #20 and a 2029 2nd rounder

 

[Tetsujin]

Does Kasparas have Bol Bol knees or something?

 

[chief bromden]

Oh, a French guard that can't shoot? Is that you, Killian Hayes?

 

[White_Chocolate]

Demar + ? for Wiggins and #20

 

[SacTownKid]

Call them and tell Riley to stick it.

 

[sactowndog]

Oh what

Really like what Utah is doing here

 

[Caccia]

Kasparas.

Not very fast, but an excellent passer.

 

[SacTownKid]

Pretty much spot on.
