Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[Qman]

Not a huge Bailey fan. His non jumper shot making is better than I expected. I worry that he will never be strong enough to play in the playoffs.

The more I watch Raynaud the more I think I trust him to translate better than Danny Wolf

I’m happy to drive the Danny Wolf bus solo.

I like him in the 2nd round, but he may not get to us unless we trade up a bit.

****en excuse me?

I'd probably agree with Raynaud > Wolf at this point. He's just more likely to be able to shoot it.

And he wouldn’t be special. That’s the whole thing. I don’t give a **** about Quinten Posts.

Wolf would be unique, but probably not special either.

Raynaud is much more athletic than Post

The Kon love here is totally bizarre. The way people are talking themselves into liking him in the top 5 or something is like watching a slow motion car crash.

I mean, looking at these takes, we seem to be at a point where Kon was somehow limited by the presence of Cooper Flagg and the other real future NBA players on his team. Give me a F'n break. Flagg has already made Knueppel millions of dollars, never mind what happens in the draft. Getting to play the 4th option on this Duke team was the greatest thing that ever happened to Kon. Unlimited open shots, unlimited drives against closeouts because the defense had better players to worry about on the strong side.

As for being a "high usage guy" in HS... every pretty decent D1 college scorer was an unstoppable force there. It doesn't mean anything.

Kon's NBA ceiling is a much less athletic Max Strus. You don't pick those guys in the top 15.

I'm praying we'll take VJ so this nightmare can be over

could not agree more. kon is fine, but he is not top 5.

Tre Johnson is the one who reminds me a lot of Buddy. Elite movement shooter and off the dribble shooter...but also can't attack the basket. If he can get better as a slasher he can be very, very good but I'm not so optimistic about that.

I don't think Kon has the same versatility to his jumper, but he's a better prospect in most other aspects. Kon is more like Brice with high level IQ, and to me that's a pretty special player.

i just disagree with this completely. give me tre johnson 10 out of ten times over kon. kon is a fine prospect, but he is not in johnson's league at all.

 

[oldtimer]

tre johnson is the closest thing to booker i this entire draft

 

[KqWIN]

I would be more open to Tre Johnson if he could beat guys off the dribble and get to the FT line. It’s a possibility that he develops that in the NBA, but if you can’t get to the hoop or FT line in college chances are you can’t do that in the NBA either. And again, it could happen. It’s just rare and not something I’d count on. Tough shot making isn’t a more valuable skill to me than creating efficient shots. Tre is an elite shooting prospect, but the rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired.

Just get Raynaud at 21, quite an interesting draft prospect. There's a good chance he'll be jumping up the draft boards pretty soon.

I wouldn't draft him for the Jazz, but I like him.

I watched Raynaud play about 4 or 5 games this year and I think my best description of him is that he looked exactly like I would expect an NBA backup center to look like in the NCAA. I mean that as a compliment, FWIW.
