NBA Draft 2025 Open Thread

[Tetsujin]

One of Toohey, Proctor, Raynaud if we want them

Here comes the Bogo swing!

 

[The_Jamal]

Both could be that rare 1-3 switchable guard though. Can't ever have too many of those with physical gifts.

Uh oh, someone's going to come for you, better be careful

Also don't forget we worked out Amari Williams

One of Toohey, Proctor, Raynaud if we want them

Kind of hoping Proctor but a bit surprised all three are still available

 

[Turgenev]

Prediction: We get someone with good height but a low FT% and hear all about it.

 

[Tetsujin]

Honestly shocked Raynaud has lasted this long

This is the kinda thing Vlade and Monte (to a lesser extent) just didn’t have and likely couldn’t cultivate.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I’m prob taking Toohey but ok with maxi

 

[The_Jamal]

Hornets with 5 picks? Keeping all of them?

 

[joemama]

Don’t you mean …..

Domas/Jonas
Keegan/Isaac

Lavine/Keon/TD/Deebo/Nique/Malik
Devin

Nope we allegedly wamt some players that can actually defend.

Vlade had good connections and relationships. He just couldn’t draft.

It’s early lots more guards

 

[The_Jamal]

Koby Brea goes.

Proctor?

Wasn't Raynaud getting first round buzz?

 

[SacTownKid]

So, decent names on the board. I'd go Toohey if it were me.

 

[sactowndog]

Odds
1) another guard
2) Cash Considerations
3) anything else

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We got that pick in quick apparently

Amick, who I actually trust on these things, says Perry is keen on building around Domas

Smart. I’m sorry but not every player in the league is just casually putting up MVP numbers each year - give the guy at LEAST another season with a roster that makes more sense and let us see what happens. Last season was beyond weird and chaotic and damn near shouldn’t even count.

Every time we built some sort of momentum, a random injury would happen or someone was getting fired or colluding and scheming behind the scenes to leave town. Stranger things have happened, but i don’t see this coming season being anything like that (PRAYERFULLY)

 

[The_Jamal]

Odds
1) another guard
2) Cash Considerations
3) anything else

Odds

1. Wrong
2. Wrong
3. Correct

 

[Tetsujin]

Wonder if this frees us up to move Jonas in a trade now?

Another GM taking BPA?

Things we truly love to see

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I'm not sure Maxime's got the athleticism to really man the post, but dude is a great offensive player.

So can this kid shoot?

 

[The_Jamal]

Vecenie had him at 30
Simon had him at 28

 

[SacTownKid]

Not of the same opinion of some on his upside but he's got some skill.

 

[hrdboild]

Stating the obvious but Orlando have a lot of guys that size / profile.

Orlando is one of the teams who historically has stuck very close to a particular style of player in the draft. There are notable exceptions of course but if there's a rangy defender with a questionable jumper on the board they're always a good bet to scoop them up. Somehow this pattern has transcended multiple front offices.
