Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[kcgar]

I dont think he is the sexy pick.......but in a redraft in 10 years he could easily be one of the top 3 players from that draft.

This is exactly how I feel. Knowing that we had the worst record and ended up with Kon would be extremely disappointing in the moment. Who knows down the line.

I think you are severely underestimating him with that comparison. Other than scoring (and even then Brice is pretty one dimensional) Kon does everything better by leaps and bounds and that is isn't taking into account playing with Flagg and Malauch , which take away a lot of potential stats.

You're underestimating how highly I think of Brice with a brain.

SEVEN MILLION FOR A MID PLAYER??

Not a mid player and no way he is getting 7 million, although I'm sure he'll get a bag. Which is why the Jazz should make him a first round promise to keep him in the draft.

(Just kidding, kind of)

I think the league will continue to go this direction where the game looks more and more like a 5v5 instead of 1v1 or 2v2 actions.

but i heard basketball is worse than its ever been

He's mid.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

He's mid-lottery

Yes, I agree

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If Fland level players were getting 7 million you would have like 10 players in the draft

He's getting paid like a top-10 pick, at least for one year.

Florida has been looking at my big board, lol.

Here is an ape-ton of Fears highlights. A dynamic lead guard has tremendous positional value if he's high enough level. Fears probably is if he can get his efficiency up. I feel better about Fears' on-ball creation holding up in the playoffs than VJ Edgecombe's. His shiftiness with the ball might be his best skill at the moment. If the Jazz draft at #5 and Flagg, Harper, Johnson and Bailey are off the board, I think Fears v. Edgecombe becomes a real debate.

I’m not understanding why Maluach is so highly regarded? Now I admit I’m not some avid college bball fan and my knowledge on some of these players is lacking, but I’ve seen two duke games and came away very impressed with Kon and Flagg but not so much on Maluach. Seems he is mostly mocked in the 8-12 range, and I just don’t see it. Not skilled, not much offense and not a very high motor. The two games I watched he didn’t have more than 3-4 rebounds in either game. What am I missing?

So can Fears be a legit starting PG

His handle and body control are pretty special. He's just 18. From his workout vids, it looks like he's bulking up a bit. He's got to make his shots, but yeah I'm starting to get what people are seeing in him.

I think he will stink at the next level.

There is a lot of fall in love with in Fears. I think he’s def in play if we fall to 5.

For every big that sucks at basketball but succeeds because of their physical prowess, there are 10 that just suck.

Im with ya. I want no part of him

We also have a legit NBA player that would play in front of him and neither he nor Maluach are anything but pure centers. Just absolutely no reason to incur that opportunity cost.

In my opinion he doesn't have good enough vision/passing to be a lead guard right away, but maybe it's something he could develop.
