2025 NBA Draft Thread

[youngthundercat]

Does Lamelo have the worst combo of shot selection and shot making in the history of the draft?

My mans the kid shot like low 30’s...I want no parts of him. None. He’s never played structure ball in his life. Never.
I ain’t buying nothing about his game. We’ve seen the jumper. That **** ain’t getting no better. And this whole elite handle **** ain’t real. He not breaking breaking nobody down in the half court. And let’s not even discusss the defense. Bruh I will lose it if Mitch pulls the trigger on this kid.

 

[youngthundercat]

I feel like they gotta start taking more “boom or bust” prospects.
Always going for the “safe” guys is how you end up in constant mediocrity

I feel you bruh but let’s not start here. For the love of god.

That last year Philly team lost by a good lucky bounce. With a training camp together since Jimmy was a mid season trade, they could’ve been in the finals this year, that would’ve been a tough team.

If Philly don’t play Simmons at PG full time they’ll need a legit 3pt threat like Fvv & have Simmons at the 3.

 

[youngthundercat]

I was cold on him for this exact reason. But he stopped most of that dumb **** in Australia. Once he got his groove there he turned into a much much better player.

Nah my man, I’m cool. Dude has never dealt with structure, I’m super cool.

My man having a conniption

Honestly I'm pretty much right there with you though, lol.

 

[ballinsam23]

youngthundercat who do you want them to draft?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Yeah I’ve cooled on lamelo. I think the idea of him is better than what he really is

 

[B Sox]

I just feel like it's gonna take damn near a miracle for him to be what you really want him to be.

[Brownstone]

So, is Ball wearing Nikes or those offbrand Walmart shoes?

[アミーゴ]

I’ve preached about Melo so many times I don’t even want to get into it lol

 

[VARNELL HILL]

What happened to dude in here that called Melo Austin Rivers and everyone got mad @ him?

Hypothetically speaking...where does Austin Rivers go in the draft if he comes out a year later in 2013?

 

[youngthundercat]

Also this is a nut *** class man. Only one I’m

I'll run a lottery drawing on Tankathon and screen record it tomorrow to determine the draft order.

2.0 with the updated draft order on the horizon anyone?

[pums]

I’d Probably Go Edwards
Ball
Deni
Wiseman

But damn do i hate this draft. Might be the worst draft to have a number 1

 

[N41D]

I'm kinda torn on what I want the Mavs to do in the middle of this round 1...

Couple of 3-and-D wing guys I love - Bey and Green. Maledon fits that mold, too...

But my interest is piqued by the potential fit with dudes like Maxey and Hampton as athletic Luka running mates as defensive guards who also have tools to create for themselves off the bounce a little bit.

I wouldn’t touch him. I can’t unsee J Will. I’d pull a Boston/Fultz, find out who loves him & trade down, picking up another pick.

Man I hate this draft class

Man I hate this draft class

Love this class for picks 10-35 or so. So many guys that project as useful role players.
