Following Potential 2025 Draftees

I might have to fade Tre after digging into so many numbers recently.
The more I look at his numbers the less I like him, the more I look at his film the more I like him. He will be a tricky one for me. I usually value what numbers say a lot, especially when they go heavily against what my eyes are telling me... but I feel like I just cannot quit Tre. He just checks too many boxes of the things we need... and his physical/athletic profile actually is pretty good too. I feel like I know the risks and he can easily be Malik Beasely in the league... but I think at 5... if he's there, he probably gives us the best chance at a top tier offensive initiator.

Agree with a lot of this. He’s weak in many areas that historically predict NBA success, while his main strength (shot-making) is both incredibly volatile to predict and questionable in terms of actual winning impact. Could definitely be wrong here, but my entire draft process is screaming red flag on this one.
 
I prefer guys who attack the rim, score efficiently, create for others, play defense, and rebound - but I can also close my eyes and go with vibes instead
 
I don't really understand the "Utah has the infrastructure for Ace to succeed" because of vets or whatever.

1. Our vets are maybe getting dumped (I would be shocked if Collins and Sexton weren't moved)
2. Our vets are uhhhhhhhhhhh, not the most shining examples of winning players outside of maybe Markkanen. They're all nice guys who try hard, but they're catastrophes on defense and not good at passing.

He didn’t mention vets at all. He said because of the head coach, front office, and organization.
