Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[Handlogten's Heros]

9/10 outcomes I think Kas ends up the better player, but still I would understand drafting Ace. I think Ace is exactly the type of player DA would draft, but something about Kas's sneaky athleticism makes me think he might fit the bill as well.

No idea which way they would go but both guys would be pretty appealing. It just seems like that would be a twitter deathmatch and would cause the most chaos... so that is what I think will happen.

Queen
Johnson

McNeeley
Flan
Essengue
Gonzalez

Toughest choice is probably Queen over Sorber as I think Sorber is probably the safer pick and has some decent upside with his passing ability and some shooting upside.

Queen, Edgecombe, Jaku, Mc, Fland, Essengue, Gonzalez

A few surprises. I thought for certain you would have Saraf over Gonzalez, and Essengue over Newell.

I liked Gonzalez when I watched his summer game stuff. Hard to really evaluate him this season. And Essengue is really good and super young.

Sorber - i just love his game. It was tough but the weight he carries worries me a little.

Johnson - might be #4 on my big board behind Kas. I actually like him over Ace right now.

Jak - could be #2 on my board but just can't put him over Harper. Love his game. Fears is gaining steam though.

Traore - was a fan day 1 and just trying to stick to my guns. He has his flaws but also a high ceiling.

Newell - defense intrigues me.

Saraf - just seems to have the IT gene.

Toughest for me was Fland over Traore as I'm a homer for both. Easiest for me was McNeely over Kon, as I'm pretty high on McNeely and pretty down on Kon vs the mocks I've seen. The one I'm least confident on is Hugo over Saraf as they have such different roles and Hugo almost never plays.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I really don't get the Kon love in the mocks.

VJ can absolutely fly. He might go number one if you picked off of highlights only:

The hops are impressive, but I think teams are going to see him as mostly a defensive combo-guard and draft him in the 8 - 11 range, especially if he measures out on the smaller side.

I kind of get it. I think he's like a higher IQ Sensabaugh.

 

[KqWIN]

The Kon media glazing has been laughable, but I only feel strongly about 7-8 guys in this draft. I'm not opposed ranking him outside of those first few tiers. He's probably going to be a very good shooter despite the low 3FG% and he does seem to possess a decent level of IQ and skill level. Defensively I am definitely concerned though.

Would be the smallest #1 pick since Kyrie in 2011.

Like him a lot, but disappointed he did not enter that top 3 conversation and has not lived up to all the hype. But his athleticism is as advertised. I think he’s a Suggs/Smart type player at the next level, and that’s still super valuable.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

I'm watching Ian Jackson live right now. He is an extremely talented scorer and I've actually been impressed with his defense, he works on that end.

He doesn't pass though, almost like he's allergic to it.
