Following Potential 2025 Draftees

He does everything else. Obviously some shooting improvement needs to take place, but you can say that about a bunch of prospects. CMB’s FG% and FT% were better than Flip’s at Duke.

He probably doesn’t become a good shooter, true. If so, it’s a swing and a miss. But if he does…..he’s a cornerstone kind of guy. We need big swings. If he’s there at 21 by some miracle you gotta take him.
 
VJ Edgecombe is not expected to fall lower than 4th.

Kon Knueppel could go as high as 4th to the Hornets or 5th to the Jazz. His floor is 8th currently.

Ace Bailey has declined workout invites from several teams in his draft range and has not conducted a single workout yet. His camp has let interested teams know that he is a top-3 player in the draft. Teams are wondering if he received a promise outside of the top-5 to a team his camp feels more advantageous.

Jeremiah Fears floor is likely 7th to the Pelicans or 8th to the Nets. His ceiling is 5th to the Jazz.
 
Givony's new mock has Kon at 4 and Tre at 5. Apparently Ace is not doing workouts. He's searching for a situation that offers"clear path to stardom".
 
I’m guessing Ace is forcing his way to WAS or BKN. BKN is pretty far down the board though. Doubt it’s UTA as Givony mentioned he also wants a “geographical advantage”.
 
I really hate how much of a turd Ace seems to be. Dude talking about a “geographical advantage” when the two finals teams are Indiana and Oklahoma City and as though everyone can’t watch any team they want and advertisers don’t know that. Seems he wants to do and care about all the wrong things based on nothing.

Just wanna point out that no team anywhere near his range has a better actual geographical advantage that the team playing at 4,500’ above sea level.
 
After watching Ace 's interviews, he seems like a dude who would make bad decisions during the draft process. Not working out for teams could be a big mistake.

If he’s gonna suck at processing the game at NBA speed and is gonna be devoted to a terrible shot profile, he should care a lot about how early he is drafted cuz his success is far from guaranteed and he should care a lot about making the best money he can right now.

Hot take… call the bluff on Ace and leverage the team that is in his ear… or keep him.

I’m only half kidding.

If it’s Washington, maybe we can swap 21 for 18. The we can be certain we get the guy we want. BKN seems like it could be the other destination, but that worries me because we might be left with Fears/Maluach. There are only 6 guys (who are realistic to go top 5) who I’d be ok with. Fears/Maluach don’t make the cut for me.
