Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Fears has a 6'5" wingspan (horrible) and shot 28% from the 3 last year. I'll be so bummed out if he's the pick.

He had also had a game last season against Texas A&M where he went 0-5 from the floor, had 0 points, and 3 assists. It's crazy to draft a guy at #5 that's capable of scoring 0 points in a college basketball game.

Fears has probably spent more time mocked to the Jazz by Givony than any other player. You may not like him, but you've just gotta accept it as a real possibility at this point.

Old man Ainge loves him.

I think as far as size for a pg. He isn't small or big (once he fills out). I think size for a primary creator/initiator he is small for sure.

Does size for initiator really matter? Like I know size can make it easier to initiate, but is it not more important to be a better initiator period instead of simply being a bigger one? In terms of size relativity, I would think that's most important to how he matches up on the defensive end.

Yes... partly because of point number one... and a lot because of point number two.

SGA as a primary I think can hurt OKC's offense in some ways. At times I think they could use a pass first pg out there setting things up a bit but the size on defense is huge imo.

I also think sometimes the smaller guys can get swallowed up on the court. Maybe Fears doesn't have to be a heliocentric option but right now it seems like a very ball in hand option that will default to shooting first. IDK not my favorite player type and we seem to have a lot of that at home.

I know you love that phrase, but the only thing we really have at home is Kessler. I would give every other player on the roster exactly zero impact on the 5th pick decision.
 
My process should point me to Fears > Tre. I typically value the ability to get easy shots over the ability to make difficult ones. But idk why I still have Tre > Fears. I don't think it's Tre stan propaganda bc that has only made me lower on Tre.

I'm kind of surprised that PPG FC is not as high on Fears. He scored at the same rate + efficiency as Tre against the same level of competition. His highlights are definitely not as cool as Tre's though.

Plus someone posted his high school 3pt shooting numbers and they weren’t good.

The only thing Tre does better is shoot 3s and be tall.
 
If the Jazz really do like Fears & Kneuppel a lot, it makes all the sense in the world to trade with New Orleans down to #7.

They'd be guaranteed to get one Fears, Knueppel, Bailey, or Johnson (likely Fears).
