2025 NBA Draft Thread

[BIG FISH]

Need Ant in Atlanta or Minnesota.

 

[Armada]

Today’s the day ready for my Hawks to inevitable get the 6th pick or some **** but hoping for that 1 or 2

Ex-Detroit Piston Will Bynum, now a trainer, has high NBA draft hopes for Killian Hayes

He's American

He was born here...and grew up in France with his American family. He still sounds wild different tho...and I'm guessing that's the influence from over there

Is James wiseman really going to be a top 3 pick

not trying to **** on him I just figured rim protectors weren’t valued at that draft price these Days. Unless he’s supposed to be prime Dwight?

 

[VARNELL HILL]

I'd be delighted if Okongwu fell to DC

Think he's more like an Andre Drummond with some shooting potential. Draft isn't great at the top and Cavs already have 3 young guards. They also already have Andre Drummond too

I'd be delighted if Okongwu fell to DC

Perfect fit.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Right, I'd rather have him over Wiseman but even then it's a question of how high do you take him

 

[wavycrocket]

Deni

 

[B Sox]

Really torn on Cole Anthony. I think he's better than what we saw at UNC, but I'd probably just try to trade up to Haliburton if he were to fall to 11. Would be such a perfect fit in Brad's system.

Why put out a MOCK right before the Lottery takes place? Waste of resources.

Thought that was dumb too. Literally just wait ONE day

Agreed but guys have time on their hands, I'm sure they have already made several mocks based on all the different draft orders that could play out tonight. Then they'll try to be the first outlet to release the mock draft that lines up with the real team order.

 

[B Sox]

Some pretty wild stuff here...

 

[BIG FISH]

Jalen Smith over Big O is wild

 

[nick.]

Tyrell Terry hive

Jalen Smith...lottery???

 

[DCAllAfrican]

@ Saying Edwards has the lowest #1 Pick BBALL IQ in a long-time.

He might have to slap somebody if their names get out

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Yea. When Kwame Brown exists, I’d have to pull up on whoever said I had the lowest b-ball iq of any potential top pick.

Tried to tell y'all in here about my guy Stix. Don't think I'd pick him over Okongwu, but never understood why he wasn't getting lotto buzz. Lots of progression from Freshman year to Sophomore year. Good shot blocker, great rebounder, and can shoot 3s. Smaller Myles Turner.

 

[frshstunna]

Knicks
GS
Hawks
Clev
Det

 

[frshstunna]

Whoever in those rumors questioning why Edwards didn’t win more in college never watched a UGA basketball game this past season

 

[VARNELL HILL]

I remember when they tried the "why didn't he win" angle with Ben Simmons

 

[pums]

In a long time tho. Kwanzaa was drafted 20 years ago
