Event 2025 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY, COMBINE, AND DRAFT

[PDXFonz]

He’s not going to be great off screens cause of his frame but his movement for his size is going to be better than a lot of players in the league. Whether it will be enough to offset strength will have to be seen.

I see Zach Edey in Yang, not bad

I was thinking the same thing. and more upside than Edey IMO

 

[Pinwheel1]

The guys on ESPN said that several other teams were looking at him in the 1st round. So he probably wouldn't have been.

Yeah, basing his talent on the mocks seems foolish. Not many, if any, were too accurate with how the first round has gone. We were not all that good either.

Shorter but more mobile and fucking great passer. Try a bigger better Danny Wolf (who was getting mocked up as high as #10)

I expect him to be the Arvydas of Summer League!

Yeah but didn’t we draft Clingan instead of Edey already. I just don’t see the vision for this team. Roster seems unbalanced and on different timelines and neither timeline has any shooters.

Chinese Arvydas would get me pumped.

I like all of you but please. There is no excuse for this pick. It’s astonishing. It doesn’t fill a need, it could have happened in the second round, it’s just stupid.

 

[blazerkor]

I don't think they need any more bigs. Lol

I'd like Clifford

Fleming plays 3-5 most likely a 3 but I am picking up what you're putting down. Good grief, I would know for sure that we were going to make trades if Joe hadn't already gone into camp a few times with this ridiculously unbalanced of a roster. Fingers crossed that the opening night roster makes sesne.

Hansen Yang is a good pick actually. Pretty mobile big who can really play. Good feet. Better than Ha Seung Jin, that's for sure.

 

[wizenheimer]

lol...He's the Chinese Jokic!....he's the Chinese Sabonis!

I remember when Yi Jianlian was the Chinese KG

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Marc Gasol

Oh please. You do not like all of us.

For me? It's Chinese Magic Johnson

 

[blazerkor]

Good feet and hands. Good bbiq. I'd say he's already the third or fourth best center on our roster.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Look at it this way: if we really liked Demin, we wanted a really oversized gifted passer. And here's an even MORE oversized gifted passer!

Still time for him to be the 5th or 6th though

That's effin hilarious. I love it

 

[wizenheimer]

before people go overboard talking about his passing from highlight videos, 3.5 assists vs 3.3 turnovers are not good passing numbers, especially considering the competition level

Almost the mythical 1:1 ratio.

 

[Driew]

Hate this pick. HATE.

Hopefully he balls out in SL.

Summer league is terrible for ball hog guards

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Anyone know?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Dude! I like you as a poster, agree with most of your posts.
But for the love of god you dont need to start a new thread for every thought you have. This could have been easily answered in the draft threads.

 

[blazerkor]

Anyone know?

The reporting says future second round picks that's all any of us have to go on.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

OKC took Sorber, which I predicted, but I'm a little surprised they took Clifford. If I was somebody like Dieng I'd feel nervous around now. I figured they'd take a draft and stash, but they took the guy everyone said would be an immediate contributor. And they're the last team in the league that needs one.

 

[inconceivable]

will there be a post draft press con?

will there be a post draft press con?

Yes but it will be at a secure location, far away from any fans.

So prove it by answering it. And then it can be merged. But I'd never find the answer if it was in the draft thread.

They didn’t, they got the 2027 SAS pick from SAC for Nique

i'm interested in how joe explains this craziness
