2025 NBA Draft Thread

If Anthony Edwards keeps his head on straight and reaches his potential he could be like a Beal x Oladipo type of player. If he doesn’t take it serious and ends up in a bad situation he could end up as Terrance Ross x Dion Waiters.

Reminds me of Lavine

Can Maxey be Collin Sexton-ish?

That too. Beal/Lavine/Oladipo level ceiling. Terrance Ross floor.

He already dribbles better than Ross but I can see him settling for a bunch of jumpers too

Feel like Beal is on a different tier than LaVine/Dipo. Don't see Edwards getting to Beal. Maybe LaVine/Dipo though.

Terrence Ross is also a really good shooter that I don't think Edwards is. As far as Edwards being that tier of player as a floor though (current Terrence Ross), I can agree with that. JR Smith-ish too.

He settles for waaaay too many contested jumpers

Nico is a huge wild card

Maxey isn't as fast as Sexton , but has a much better feel at playing the point guard spot. The reason Maxey didn't average more assists was UK played Hagans and Quickley a lot

Luka Graza from Iowa plays like Enes Kanter

All that matters with him is his jumper. He was billed as a good shooter, but just didn't shoot it well. He can absolutely run an offense, but if he's shooting poorly, he won't amount to much more than an average backup since he doesn't bring much else to the table other than his passing.

Killian Hayes made improvements since the first time I’ve watched him play. I like his game.

Anybody familiar with Aaron Nesmith from Vandy? Seems like some folks are pretty high on him.

pmatic · Mar 23, 2020

I read he's the best shooter in the draft.
Edit:
Isaiah Joe and Jordan Nwora might have something to say about that though.

Just watched this. I'm not sure if he can defend anyone or do anything other than catch and shoot at an NBA level, but I feel like the teams right outside the lotto are going to be salivating for that kind of shooting. Can't see him dropping past the (current) 17-19 run of Boston/Dallas/Milwaukee. Perfect fit for all 3 teams.
