2025 NBA Draft Thread

Woj finding different ways to say teams are going to select a player is always the high light of the draft
 
Big O :pimp:

The Atlanta Hawks select Onyeka Okongwu.

Trae is a generational offensive talent, 30 & 10 at 21 years old but he’s playing 35 mins a night as arguably the worst defender in the sport. Guys 2-5 need to range from great to elite on that end and I need my 4 & 5 to be able to switch.

Projects to be an elite rim protector day 1, has all the tools to be an all-around monstrous presence on that end of the floor, and should be able to handle switches better than Capela. On the other end, he has the hands, bounce, & touch to be a great roll man, though playmaking in 4-3 scenarios off of Trae traps will take time.

Was thisclose to committing to 5 out & 120+ppg a night & going Toppin, also thought about Deni here but opted for shoring up the other end instead.

I’m obviously moving Capela for a wing. TBD.
 
I wish Onyeka was like 10% more atheltic.

Just seems to be lacking the vertical pop to be an elite defender like Bam.
