2025 NBA Draft Thread

[krazy88s]

Cam Thomas looking solid so far

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Teams might have goofed on Trey Murphy. He might be real.

 

[pmatic]

Murphy was my guy before he shot up the draft boards. 6'9, good athlete and arguably the best shooter in the draft. Just has to get stronger and round out his game. I thought at worst, he would be like a Dorrell Wright.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Can't believe OKC passed on Kuminga

 

[pmatic]

Murphy got a flamethrower.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

WTF just happened?

 

[B Sox]

How Kira Lewis go 1-11?

Peyton Pritchard>Tyrell Terry

has to be my least consequential but most accurate draft take.

 

[HOU$TON]

Don’t really care about summer league losses but I wanted to see high usage Sengun. What’s the point in tremont water doing anything offensively outside of passing the ball into the post? Why is josh Christopher shooting 20 times like he harden? Seems silly to me

Do you know anything about Trevelin Queen, wavycrocket ? He's looked pretty good for the Lakers. Better than Ayayi at least.

Funny you mention. One of my homeboys worked with him. Shorty is good. He pretty much does all the little things the right way, and can hit shots/defend.

I hope he ends up on another squad than your team

I told you, you will grow to hate Josh Christopher’s game . And it’s just SL.

He just wired as a hawk. That ain’t changing for nobody. You going to be real mad further down the line when he actually gets PT.

Good luck.

Kinda how I feel about Cam Thomas but Cam is more talented and has a higher ceiling

Right, I feel like there’s a few of this archetype in this class. A lot of teams need that role to be filled

 

[B Sox]

James Bouknight
Tre Mann
Josh Christopher
Quentin Grimes
Bones Hyland
Cam Thomas

All the same type of player.

Yup! Cam can get away with it, because he’s just more talented and a better scorer.

James Bouknight
Tre Mann
Josh Christopher
Quentin Grimes
Bones Hyland
Cam Thomas

All the same type of player.

I think there are some key distinctions with Lot of these guys tho.

Sure. They aren't all EXACTLY the same. Definitely certain distinctions. High volume scorers without much passing ability as a blanket description. Still useful players whether as starters or spark plugs off bench.

 

[dacomeup]

James Bouknight
Tre Mann
Josh Christopher
Quentin Grimes
Bones Hyland
Cam Thomas

All the same type of player.

Aren’t Hyland and Grimes a bit different than the rest of that list?

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Holy ****. Trey Murphy went from 5’11 to 6’4 before his senior year of HS. Then he grew an additional 5 inches AFTER his freshman year of college.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Bouknight will pass.
grimes going to be just a spot up guy at his best

Thomas and Christopher legit don’t pass at all.

 

[ballinsam23]

Grimes has no bag, but he's able to take a couple of dribbles in after a pump fake for a mid range or layup. He's a legit shooter though and a solid defender.

Happy with the pick.

 

[pmatic]

Bones.

My old HS coach coaches Rice and two of my friends are assistants there now. Too bad Murphy transferred away.
