Following Potential 2025 Draftees

If I'm the Jazz, I'd be looking at Carter Bryant with the Twolves pick. I'm also mildly curious about Maluach if he can add more dimensions to his game.

I'm locked in on Drake Powell. He isn't having the impact that was expected but he is going to be a rock solid all around wing which is something we need.
 
i watch nearly every rutgers game and neither of those concern me much. the FT shooting doesn't concern me at all. it's something that will fix itself with reps and sample size. he'll be 75-80% his rookie season.
I said this a couple weeks ago when Bailey was hovering aroung 60% FTs. In Bailey's last 6 games, he's 26-29 FTs (90%). 14-14 in his last two. Bailey can shoot. FTs are a non-issue in terms of projecting him as a shooter - if anything they are a feather in his cap. the early season struggles were an aberration.
 
I really hope we manage to dodge a situation where we "have" to take Bailey.

The lack of athleticism and ballhandling is such a red flag for a supposed "pure scorer". In the league, he's gonna be a spot up shooter who can't guard his position. Period.

Bailey is just 6'8'' with zero bounce, which means that he'll have a lot of trouble just shooting over people in the NBA. He's being guarded by 6'5'' guys in college, but that will change.

This kid can still become a useful NBA player since shooting is a premium skill, but you have to run complicated actions to get him free and hide him on defense. In other words, a role player. No thanks.

Perfect player for a contender with the other pieces already in place, though.
