Following Potential 2025 Draftees

The Homey test: Do these guys show more promise and potential than Darius Bazely or Patrick Baldwin Jr?

Which "good American whites" are we talking about again?

Kon, McNeeley, Wolf, Flagg, Karaban, and Baugh are all first round prospects and none of them are traditional bigs. Regardless of what you think of their actual potential, they are all considered first round picks (or right outside) atm (except Baugh who hasnt had the hype cycle come around to him yet), which is rare.

Here’s an honest cut of a not-great Wolf game.

On day one he’s going to have a top-shelf NBA skill: getting the ball into the soft spots of a defense. Pairing his passing ability, vision, and IQ with his size and handle bends the game. This ability will also open up other parts of his game for development.

I’m not necessarily saying he’s going to be a star but I’m confident he will be an elite role player that will impact the game like Ingles did.

I would have this guy over Ian Jackson personally

I do think I have underestimated McNeeley's potential. He's better than I have given him credit for.

You're the only person who likes this kid as much as (or more than) me. Reviewing that reel, even in the plays that don't turn out well, I usually like his creativity, decision-making, and motor.

And the dude is super-active. If he's not making a play with the ball in his hands, then he's setting a screen for someone else.

He's easily in my top 10.

Harper and Ace have have been great on defense so far against USC.

 

[KqWIN]

Harper is cooking these guys.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yates from USC could be a prospect for next year's draft

 

[Elizah Huge]

Harper is really good. History will not be kind to his doubters.

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

Feel WAY better about this class now that Harper has broken out of his slump.

Was worried he had gotten figured out.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Future Jazzman Dylan Harper in a win against USC today:

- 25 points
- 9 assists
- 6 steals
- 2 rebounds
- 9/13 from field
- 4/8 from three

 

[KqWIN]

I can't think of a prospect who has less doubters than Harper lol.

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

Flagg comparisons:

Playstyle: More athletic and better shooting Scottie Barnes
Impact: Better shooting Jimmy Butler?

Downsides/questions:

-Aesthetically not pleasing, will cause tons of stoppages due to constant trips to the line (again, similar to Jimmy Butler and Scottie Barnes and definitely a good thing for the team who gets him, just going to be very annoying to watch if we don't get him)
-Is he skilled or athletic enough to reach like prime Kawhi level instead of Jimmy Butler+?

It was a weird trend on draft twitter for the past couple of weeks.

Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard

I think prime Kawhi's physical tools are a good bit above Flagg's... Kawhi's hand size and wingspan are just absurd and allow him to get off tons of jumpshots when healthy. I think Flagg may be a lower FGA/g guy like Butler.

Flagg is taller, bigger, and might have a similar wingspan.

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

Flagg is taller, bigger, and might have a similar wingspan.

I would like him to hit prime Kawhi level, but I'm not sure I'm there yet. Has had a very impressive season, but still thinking Jimmy Butler+ is more likely.

Would not rule him out of hitting Kawhi level though.

Flagg is taller, bigger, and might have a similar wingspan.

I also think Flagg has a better vertical
