Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Frankie has been trolling all year, and it works well lol.

Top….8???

If he was French maybe.

Also, Cy’s question is interesting but the logical choice is Flagg and whoever next year.

I think a harder question would be you get Harper this year and a top-3 pick next year or Flagg and like the 6th pick next year.

I'd take Flagg and no pick at all next year... over Harper and top 3 pick next year. And I realize that in 99% of cases this would be a bad deal to take. I just think Flagg is in the other 1%...

Pushed it too far. I wouldn't do that.

Nice to see Yaxel going against guys his own size. I think he's a first rounder:

Some of the footwork/ fundamentals drive me a little crazy with Yaxel, especially because he's a little older, but I'm guessing he's gotten away with it because he's so much bigger and more athletic than the guys he's playing against. He'll need to get coached up when he gets in the league, but I think it will come.

Random thought about NIL+Tranfer portal. NIL+Transfer portal means that more players are returning and more talent is concentrated inside the top conferences. Should we consider the top conferences to be at a significantly higher level than they were previously? And would mid majors be worse than before?

Seems to be the case in the tournament.
How many mid majors are left out the 16 teams still playing?

I just saw Sanon is leaving AZ St. For St. Johns. One thing to consider is that with revenue sharing basketball only schools will have a bigger piece of the pie for their schools.

Transfer portal is so crazy. They going to have to put limits on how much you can transfer.

Feels like the wild west right now. I'm sure they will start coming up with rules soon.

 

[KqWIN]

It is crazy how everyone can essentially be a one and done mercenary.

VJ highlights are the best highlights and Keandre is the best in my opinion.

A not insignificant part of my desire to get Flagg is for the post-lottery Jazz Avenues thread.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Right now, the Jazz would be guaranteed a top 5 pick. Assuming they don’t trade it, they walk away with one of Flagg, Harper, Bailey, Edgecomb or Johnson.

Also assuming the Wolves pick ends up somewhere between 17 - 21. Who is the guy you want the most that should realistically be there?

Going off of Tankathon, the names there are Liam McNeeley, Ben Saraf, Thomas Sorber, and Rasheer Fleming.

I would be ok with any of those names. The draft is pretty flat from like 8-25 in my opinion, so I think there will definitely be interesting names on the board at that point. If we are looking for guys that can come in and contribute right away Fleming is probably the name.

Tankathon also has Labaron Philon available at that spot as well. If he declares and if he is available there, that would probably be my pick. He is the best on ball guard defender in the draft and we desperately need that.

Good tape on CMB, one of the best defensive prospects in the class. He has toughness, physicality and versatility that the Jazz currently lack.

CMB is probably top 5 on my homer list, but I'm not sure I would even want the Jazz to draft him if he was available with the Minnesota pick. I suppose he's like Queen where he really needs to go to the right situation.

Maybe I just don't have enough imagination, but I just can't see how his game works in the NBA. I still love him though and really really hope that he figures it out in the NBA, because I would love to watch him dominate in the league.
