I've got my tissues ready to wipe the tears from my eyes.
Following Potential 2025 Draftees
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date
In my head, if Ace is on the board at #5 we take him no matter what.
A) Ace is the highest on our board, we don't care about the agent stuff
B) Ace is not highest on our board, but we trade to WAS for #6 and Fears
C) Ace is not highest on our board, but we trade to NOP for #7 and Kon/Tre (whoever they don't draft at #4)
It is possible that WAS/NOP trade up even higher than 5 for Ace, but I'm feeling good about the top 7 picks. Famous last words.

Whether you want Fears or not ESPN thinks we’re going to draft Fears therefore we aren’t going to draft him.

Utah Jazz Have Done Significant Homework on One Top Draft Prospect
The Utah Jazz could be eyeing one certain selection at pick five.
www.si.com
"Sources say the Utah Jazz have done significant homework on Tre Johnson, who's also a strong fit based on the team's current roster," Wasserman wrote, "His shotmaking has teams picturing a high floor and instant, translatable offense. The trouble some have with Johnson focuses on his shot selection and lack of passing, and whether they'll lead to inefficient stretches that negatively affect his value... A more potent one-on-one game could give him an edge over Kon Knueppel, who'll also be in the best-player-available discussion."
I'm ready for Tre Johnson.

Think there has been some funny shenanigans going on with the draft gambling the past couple of year.

I fear it will be Fears.
Not that he will be bad . . . but there will be little hype around him and I feel like I need a little hype.

Demin is overvalued in Utah. He is a decent project, but that is about it. He shows flashes and has very good size, but his in-game shooting is poor, he wasn't even the best layer on his college team, and he looks confused as to what to do frequently on the court. Fair value at 21 although I'm sure there would be better fits on the board. Certainly don't give up assets to move up to get him.

I don't know if this is fair. I mean, was Jimmer overvalued in Utah?

Meh I'd be pretty happy coming out of the draft with Demin (not at 5 obviuosly). He has at least one important skill that he is the absolute best in the draft class at. Literally every other player but about 4 we are wondering "if they develop their shot!" If Egor can develop his shot he's a very, very good piece.
