Following Potential 2025 Draftees

The potential is ridiculous, that's the only way I could justify something in the #7-#10 range, but he's just so far away.

I can't recall a raw big who averaged something like 8 / 6 in college (in meaningful minutes) turning into a force at the NBA level. Maybe a guy like DeAndre Jordan?

Embiid averaged 11/8, but he showed more offensively than Maluach. Embiid also blew people away in workouts.
 
Gotta be a good sign for Flagg that he returned to the bench without 1) a boot and 2) ice (weird, tho - that would seem to be a no-brainer)

Do the Jazz have an early second round pick they can give a promise to Saunders with?

They have two later 2RPs (currently #45 and #47) they could possibly consolidate and move up a bit with--maybe to #37 or #38. I guess it depends on how early you'd want to be in the 2nd round.
 
Embiid had also barely played any basketball by the time he got to Kansas. Everything he did was shocking and you saw him improve dramatically game to game to do things basically no seven footer should be able to do. Tons of mistakes, but tons of "how in the world has this guy only played basketball for 18 months???? How can he be this coordinated at this size????"

Maluach has played basketball for a lot longer and has been... fine... at Duke.

No one thinks Malauch is Embiid...

BYU had another great, competitive win and once again Egor did not look like he could play at this level of competition.

Its crazy too because BYU is perfectly setup for a NBA prospect to really succeed. They have great shooters, decent bigs, and play a NBA style where they take a lot of 3's and player a faster than usual tempo for college. No idea how ESPN still has him in their latest top 10 mock.

Ya he didn't play much down the stretch either. Went with the experience (Hall who had a good game)
BYU is really deep. Play 11 man rotation and there isn't much separation between most of them.

It’s a good point. He’s surrounded by experienced shooters, has decent roll men, and has an NBA style coach. It’s pretty much the ideal setting for him to shine. Can’t imagine what he’d look like on one of those horrid clogged toilet teams.
