Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Probably the fact that the whole conversation started when EH questionned my statement that Bailey is the only guy (out of Harper, Demin, Flagg, Bailey) who can be comfortably projected as an elite #1 scoring option. He said Harper can easily be projected as one as well.

I like Harper, but Bailey is on a different level as a projected NBA scorer. I dont know if you stepped in to defend Harper as a prospect, but I'm not at all hating him and would be happy if we got him.

Ah, I think we are all getting hung up on the subjective term, "elite". I think a lot of those guys could be the #1 scorer on a good team, but wouldn't argue with you that Ace seems the most likely of being someone who challenges for a scoring title.

If you're looking for a dynamic lead guard and a potential superstar, there's only one option in this draft and that's Edgecomb. He's playing like NCAA ball is a joke to him, which it kinda is. Coasting.

It's almost like the guy was made in a lab to become a star combo guard in the NBA. He's my #1 pick without question.

Flagg is a second or third banana in the League. Any team who takes him before VJ is going to regret it. I would't even pick Flagg in the top 5.

Isnt the conventional wisdom around these parts that you need a top 10 guy to win a title?

My bar for elite isnt necessarily that high... but if I list elite #1 scorers its gotta be guys who can take over playoff series and score despite opponents stacking to stop them. So for guards my list of elite scorers would be like Shai, Luka, Ant, Ja, Brunson, Dame, Steph and Don. Maybe Booker, and I'm probably forgetting someone. All those guys are also great shooters (Shai may not be 3P shooter the others are, but he is a divine midrange shooter).
 
The Jazz need to be all in on Edgecomb. I don't give a crap how sloppy he looks in a terrible environment like Baylor. The kid has proved he can thrive in a more controlled, high-level game, playing against seasoned pros as a 17 year old.

He also shot a lot better across the board in the Olympic qualifiers.

Again, more than any top prospect in this draft, Edgecomb was born to play in the NBA. He's just wasting time in college.

It's rare to see a kid with otherwordly athleticism who also plays a team game and moves without the ball. Edgecomb is confident and has some bravado, but not to the extent that he becomes a boneheaded chucker who thinks the world revolves around him.
