2025 NBA Draft Thread

Did he just foul out? That's why he was on the bench looks like.

thats funny because french youth and pro basketball has long been considered more athletic than other european leagues
and thus more similar to america.

For sure.

If you just stripped the countries names off the jerseys and made some random person watch, I don't think they'd be able to tell you that there is some kind of difference in athleticism in the 2 teams. The Ivey kid looks super athletic, but then we also have Bartolo playing major minutes

Player of the game Lofton Jr.

Wembanyama was the best talent on the court while being a year to year and a half younger than everybody on the court. Insane.

Lofton with the bucket, then ripped a guard. All that highlight on the other bigs and he's the one making the plays at the end of the game. Great to watch

yeah he did foul out, but he should have brought him back earlier

Wouldn't he have just fouled out earlier

he's a smart player, very skilled player.

too bad the french AAU system doesn't produce skilled bigs like Lofton.

 

[ballinsam23]

Wow what a mental collapse by France. How do you not foul like 10x there.

Overall a great game though

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Kid a mutant, KD/Gobert fusion. Crazy to think where he'll be in a couple years. Hopefully he can stay healthy to maximize his potential.

Travel? DCAllAfrican on that Victor step back

I know the French kids are pissed. Let that one slip away, controlled the game till the last 5 minutes.

You leave him on the bench, the lead grows to the point where victor wouldn't have saved you anyway.

you keep him in if fouls out you foul out.

but you don't save him for 3 minutes left in the game and youre down 10.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Victor just signed a new deal with his Euro team, which league is that? Is it high level

 

[B Sox]

Game slipped away when coach had Victor on the pine. If he fouls out, it is what it is. Don't just hemorrhage points.

Funny I was about to ask that. I would say no.

There's been a Twitter war about who goes #1: Victor or Bates

Victor seems to have the upper hand rn

What's the war? One scores and the other scores AND provides elite defense.

If they are both equally as talented with loads of potential as advertised, I think it'll come down to whoever is the most "coachable" kid who brings the "least baggage" with him.

Just read the DraftExpress Tweets and replies of him saying that Victor is the #1 pick in '23

 

[B Sox]

Ivey looks like a "little person" next to all these mutant *** kids

 

[nick.]

addict4sneakers are we still not trusting French kids?
