Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Rutgers has signed the 2nd and 3rd overall players (Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper) from the 2024 recruiting class. Huge gets for them. I like when non-powerhouse programs get top recruits like this.
 
Kevin Knox’s little brother Karter is also in this class and he’s ranked 16th overall by ESPN currently.

Interesting. Rutgers is going to be an awful roster next year, so they will get all the touches they want.

Yes. Duke and Kentucky snatching all the top prospects is getting kinda boring at this point.

Who kind of player is Cooper Flagg

Basically AK47. Jack of all trades and expert at none. Also a block maniac who can rack up 10 blocks a game on a nightly basis. But he needs to hone his skills more if he wanna be a number 1 option on a team rather than a supplementary figure like AK.

Khaman Maluach, one of the top young basketball prospects in the world, has elected to graduate high school next summer, making him eligible for the NBA draft in 2025. "I think I am ready to play at that level," Maluach told ESPN.

Better prospect at this point than Sarr in 2024.

I like him... Every time I see a huge guy that can shoot a little I think... how could this fail. Then I remember Mo Bamba. I like the idea of Sarr. I like the idea of Maluach as well. If you select a big like Sarr in 2024 and then end up in the position where this is the best player on the board in 2025 that kinda sucks.

The top 10ish guys next year are really intriguing right now. Glad ignite is done and many of these guys will play in college next year.

It's funny, I actually don't like this archetype. I feel like the tall, create a player type of prospect often fails and even when they can shoot it doesn't necessarily mean they are a star. IMO, it's more unique than it is useful.

First glance at Dylan Harper suggests that he may be as good or better than any PG in the '24 class.

The thing is, when a player is out on the perimeter it doesn't make much difference if he's a wing or a big. It's nice that a big can shoot and play out on the perimeter, it helps space the floor, but the question is--would you rather have your big make a play from out there than your guard or wing? And the answer normally comes back, no. Unless the big is someone like Jokic who can make an impact from literally anywhere on the floor, it makes sense to let the guards and wings do that stuff.

In other cases, you want your big to help provide vertical spacing by playing near the rim, so that's usually the 5-man's first job on offense.

It’s about balance to me. If a big can protect the rim and space the floor it opens up 5 out without compromising defense. It’s part of the reason Boston is so dominant and OKC made such an unnatural jump. The 3 that can also make a play off a close out is nice but that guy can’t protect the rim and is easier to find. If the big can do some close to the basket and roll/screen stuff that is great too.

I think it fails cuz either the defense/rim protection isn’t real or the shooting isn’t. Having a floor spacing rim protector is very much still a cheat code. If they do more than that it’s fantastic.
