2025 NBA Draft Thread

[VARNELL HILL]

Kind of feel like Chet’s offensive potential is being underrated a ton based on how Gonzaga used him. Just like w/ KAT @ UK…Chet was used in a specific role that hid alot of what he can do on that end.

If you want to make your own fancy mock draft:

That's dope

Perfect to kill my time at work

No idea that Magic still have cap hold on Speights and Afflalo... Wild

6-9 inches is probably average. Race is a factor I’m sure.

Wrote about Chet in here a few weeks ago. Has much more playmaking ability off the dribble than shown at Gonzaga. Far more than just a pick and pop guy.

I'm waiting for the full measurements before posting.

Mark Williams is a damn super hero with his measurements.

Kofi is 7' 293 w/ a 7'4+ wingspan

Brosizzlew30.23 Lakers missing piece might be there for the taking in the 2nd round

Too bad Jeanie too cheap to buy a pick probably.

Orl would be wise to take Paulo Banchero with their #1 pick. Shot creator and can pass as well. Legs like tree trunks so he should specifically work on his post game from now.

Combination of size & athaleticism would have made him a defensive stud under Thibs. He can sign for the Knicks later on tho.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Patrick Baldwin Jr. might get the same boost Zaire Williams got last year from being 6'10.

 

[HOU$TON]

Definitely peeped the forcing of Jabari. To me Banchero is clearly better

I always felt Kofi will be taken in the first round but if he somehow lands in the 2nd round he'd be my pick for sure if I'm the Lakers.

7 feet, 300 lbs, and will be an enforcer in the paint, especially on Defense, which is exactly what AD needs to take a lot of that pressure off him when it comes to banging with the bigs inside.

Kings taking another guard is so hilariously perfect

Weird analysis of jabari who’s most glaring weakness is… shot creation lol

He’s made tough shots all year but that doesn’t mean he’s a an elite creator

 

[jpzx]

Kings will end up with Baldwin somehow, like Giles and Skal they can’t resist.

 

[pmatic]

Jalen Williams being ~6'6 with a 7'2 wingspan and 39 inch vert is a win. With his body of work, he might sneak into the first round.

Each draft “expert” has their own hyperbole and agendas which I try to ignore…Smith has to work on shot creation/finishing, that’s def an issue but also take into account he had some of the worst chucks handling the ball so not like they was setting him up for easy dunks …I wouldn’t worry about the blocks so much cuz yo was pretty much asked to check all positions at Auburn which found him on the perimeter a lot and he did it successfully

He was really like a 6’10 3 and D wing for that team, in the college game that role/skills ain’t gon pop as much as the league

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Drew Timme is 6'9 w/ shoes on

Auburn guards were absolute dumpster

Jabari would be a perfect fit with Houston, let him go to a team with proven scorers and iso players

I don’t have a problem with it as long as it isn’t a PG. they got divencenso and a holiday back there with Fox

 

[Platinum State]

I'd take Banchero at #1 for sure. Kid has it. Jabari might be the safer pick but Paolo can be a star pretty fast
