2025 NBA Draft Thread

Any chance Mobley goes #1?

As someone who thought Wiseman being talked about at #1 was silly, Mobley is exactly the type of modern big who teams actually should take that high. I’m not sure that any of the teams in the running for the top pick are good enough on the wings not to draft Cade or a wing #1 though.

 

[dacomeup]

You could talk me into it if you were OKC or Minnesota.

I really don’t even think you could talk me into it as Minny? Cade should likely be their guy, no?

 

[ballinsam23]

I don’t think I’d ever draft a wing #1 unless it’s a generational prospect. There’s just way too many out there. Cade can play PG SG SF so he doesn’t count.

Im still big on Wiseman, too many flashes for him to be an all star one day. Mobley is prototypical big, reminds me of Horford on the Hawks, probably better.

I would go with Cade personally, but they seem wedded to KAT-D'Lo as the foundation. With that line of thinking, a case for Mobley could be made.

Wild.

Wild.

One family having 3 generations of McD's All-American's is crazy.

Think I underestimated Wiseman's physical tools leading up to the draft. 7'1 with plus athleticism. Has shown range to three, although he has a long wind up. Needs to improve his hands. He bobbles too many passes and rebounds.

Cade goin off.

 

[pmatic]

Cade!

“He ain’t go no bag”

It’s people that really think he can’t dribble

Its his biggest weakness and it’s not close. Gotta see this “handle” against NBA defense.

he’ll be at 30% of his plays in pick and roll next year. I’m not worried at all.

plus he’s got all the crafty off arm swipes and grabs in his bag. He’s legit

 

[B Sox]

He’s 6’8” and is going to be playing in a PnR heavy offense in the league. He doesn’t need to be Hot Sauce.

Stop. Over. Thinking. It.

 

[ballinsam23]

He’s definitely legit. No question, I just think he can’t be your primary scorer. At the same time idk anymore because you have Jeremy Grant in DET putting up 25 a game on insane splits.

 

[pmatic]

38 40 of them thangs.

 

[B Sox]

I mean, that right there was one of the best games any prospect has had over the last 5+ years. 40 and 11. Team on his back.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

I need this to be one of the years that a team barely in the lottery wins it. Like Chicago in 2008.

The idea of Cade in NO, OKC, CHI etc. is so much better than the idea of him in Minny, Detroit, Cleveland

 

[ballinsam23]

Gonna need Dallas to win this lottery.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I mean, that right there was one of the best games any prospect has had over the last 5+ years. 40 and 11. Team on his back.

and he handled the ball the entire game.

don't the warriors own the timberwolves pick if it's not top 3
but its unprotected the following

Right. Cade is not falling past #1 let alone #3 .

The only way it could happen is if the Warriors drafted him with their own lottery pick.

Someone like Green/Kuminga/Suggs are possible...depending on which one ends up cementing themselves as the 3rd guy out of the coveted 5.
