I thought you had Tre at 3?
Following Potential 2025 Draftees
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date
Speculating about what another team may want on draft night when talking about potential trades? What a horrible thing to do on a basketball forum.
I do think PHI would love to trade down for Kon and get some other assets to improve their roster. #7 to NOP seems like it could be a thing with Herb. I don't know who NOP would be targeting at #3 though. VJ and Ace seem to be a tier based on current betting odds.

They arent trading up for VJ....
I would do 5 + 21 + a future pick for 2. I’d do 5 + 21 for 3 if we really had a preference. I have a firm believe in getting your guy.
No, but I would understand the confusion.
I've said that Tre was the 3rd best prospect, but he's like 5 or 6 on my personal big board. His player type just isn't my cup of tea
Probably not, but just saying that I'm personally starting to have a strong preference when I didn't before.
That’s a very interesting way of looking at things.
There isn't any player who you can acknowledge is a great basketball player, but you just don't really like?
I guess it's more of a head vs heart thing.
Dont like shooters with size/length/athleticism?

NBADraft.net finally matched us with Tre which shows they're finally paying attention. They have us drafting Penda later in the first and in the 2nd Jaxson Robinson (5th year senior but has a nice overall game) and the Aussie Olbrich.
If Beringer is there at 21 I will be super excited though if not Penda has a nice game.

Beringer's tools are a lot less exciting than I hoped for. He's going to be fine, but he's not as quick or explosive as I hoped. Seems smart and is definitely agile and long enough to be a good NBA backup and maybe starter.
I've become a bit Will Riley pilled lately and I actually think he's incredibly close to Joe Ingles as a prospect.
Nearly identical measurements both physically and athletically save for weight due to age difference when measured.

He looks really good offensively eye test wise but the efficiencies aren't great. I also worry about the lack of blocks+steals, and the low rebounding numbers for a 6'8" guy. A negative comparison I have heard is Jett Howard.
Odds reflect Ace and VJ in their own tier at 3/4, open race at #5

That's steep but he's exactly what we need
I'm catching up on the latest Noa Essengue film and my opinion has not changed. He might become the best player out of this draft, but he's currently unplayable in the NBA. He's so long and he uses his length well. It's crazy watching him swallow up guys on the perimeter. He's got the beginnings of some skill, but he still has a long ways to go before his dribbling/passing are NBA ready. The main thing that jumps off the screen when you are watching the Cashiggy videos is the he is so easily bumped off of his spots, he has such a long ways to go before he's NBA ready from a strength standpoint. Lastly his jumper needs a lot of work. I don't trust it at all at the moment.
Very very interesting player, if he adds strength and/or skill he might be a beast, but if not he is unplayable.

Unplayable? Being a bit dramatic.
I mean, most rookies are "unplayable" if you are trying to win, but I could easily see Essengue being a 10 mpg contributor on a good team with his length and energy.

Is there any insight from Ainge Jr's drafting record to give information about the Jazz at 5 and 21.
