NBA Draft 2025 Open Thread

Vastly different analytics profiles. Ty was like crazy impactful last year, Malik wasn't.

Now maybe Ty can't handle that role increase in a similar vein, but it also allows you to flip Monk to help your wings while you get a better shooter and someone who can slot in ad a starting lead ball handler

That's the thing though, how real was it? His career advanced numbers are all over the place and the one outlier was he was on a contender last season. In a contract year.

There's a guy named Saliou Niang in this draft and he's not Mr. Irrelevant?

From highlights - Blocking didn't stand out too much at his size - average looking, but I liked his movement and showed flashes of passsing. Wondering about his rebounding.....wonder how much he sees the floor the 1st year - some at least. 3pt shooting is something he can work at which is more than you can say for quite a few centers.

With Domas and JV it's going to be tough. It almost kind of looks like Perry is setting up youth to eventually replace others in the rotation. Something the good franchises do!

Both Fox and Hali said as much.

The Kings have roster spots to fill and there are some good prospects floating around still.

Ok I like Nembhard and Kobe Sanders for two ways

Not bad. He's like if Carl Landry tried to play like TJ Warren.

When they get trounced in the play-in game by a Dallas squad featuring AD, PJ Washington, Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall, Derick Lively II, and Daniel Gafford they are. And that game was at home too. That is the very definition of not it if you ask me.

Yeah that was moocho embarassing to watch.....and I had a feeling it might happen too unfortunately
