Following Potential 2025 Draftees
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date
So, what would cause Kasparas to have a different trajectory than Reed Sheppard, who was hyped up, drafted high and promptly shrunk in the NBA? And Sheppard is not alone: there were many moderately athletic college/international PGs who were drafted in the lottery and then underperformed: Giddey, Hayes, Fultz, Cameron Payne, our own Trey Burks...
Kasparas has better size, athleticism and/or shooting than the guys you've listed. He has the upside of a prospect like Lamelo Ball, without the flakey-*** downside of Lamelo Ball.

If he can shoot maybe.
None of this makes sense regarding Kasp and Sheppard is a rookie. A bit early to be writing his obituary.
Ian Jackson keeps scoring, but he also recorded 1 assist vs. 4 turnovers today.
Philon has had great games vs top prospects, but I just cant buy in fully unless he starts shooting it more consistently. He's got bad 3pt and FT%, very bad red flag.
What???
First of all it's way too early to make a judgemental call on Reed in the NBA. Second of all, Kas has a huge size advantage. It's also not like Kas came out of nowhere. People who scout European guys were super high on him and there was a lot of preseason hype about how good he was looking.
There are a lot of great looking prospects that don't pan out every year for a lot of various reasons.
Its hard to record assists when you don't pass.
Just buy in, it's fun.
