Following Potential 2025 Draftees

There was a stretch in the second half where Houston had like 6 fouls called against them over maybe 3 possessions that really swung the game. Once Houston wasn't going to be able to out physical Florida, I thought they were probably in trouble.

Seemed like that stretch was directly after Florida coaches got called for a technical foul and Florida had 5 team fouls to Houston zero. At least a couple of those fouls called against Houston were make up calls imo and shouldn't haven't called.
 
Demin to announce his decision at 10 am this morning. Even if he declares he could withdraw his name and go back to school.

I think it would be good for him to go and work out. Get feedback and go back to school and work on the feedback.

not if he's at least mid-first. if he's top 20, he should go. nobody every stays in school if they are looking a top 20 draft spot. simply never happens.

There were a lot of questionable calls.

CHimenu had a clean block, got called for a foul, them got called for a tech. Big 4 point swing on a bad call.

Haugh has a clean block at one point too that got called for a foul.

Handgloten has a clear goaltend that didn't get called.

All in all I think the calls balanced out

Yep. And players in this range rarely improved their draft stock in second year. Too much to lose and not much to gain. If he's projected a second rounder, then sure.

This is interesting.

If we're putting this into historical context (i.e., "physically dominant" in whatever that meant in their own time) it feels like it's Flagg, Larry, or Dirk.

Probably plenty of 'mostly white' (i.e. more white than Obama) like Blake Griffin, that are equally comfortable in either cultural paradigm and can 'context switch' easily, but get identified as 'black' in American culture. No particular reason logically (genetically speaking rather than culturally) to classify them as more 'black' than 'white' though, since many are likely more than 50% white.
 
I think Demin feels really disappointing when you consider during preseason he had top 3/5 hype and looked like it when playing against future enterprise agents. But when you let go of that disappointment I still think he has enough intrigue to be a late lotto pick. I think he has a great physical profile and is a great passer, not just for his size but compared to all prospects. His handle is so bad he could hardly dribble against high D1 competition, but maybe if he improves the handle he can hit on a high potential outcome.

I would love him with our second pick, but we'll likely need to trade up to get him.
