Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Kon is the favorite at #4....I think he makes the most sense for them. OTOH, they seemingly drafted Salaun for everything besides his ability to play basketball. Kon's biggest strength is how he plays basketball, so I wonder if that's who they will actually go with.

I do think they are both very serious hard workers though... so wouldn't be completely different in demeanor from what I hear about both.

There is no way that guy has insider info, right?

There used to be time when we were able to guess who the Jazz are targetting purely based on the way Locke was covering them and who he was pushing before the draft. Since DL has been gone, this has not been the case... but... who knows? Maybe he got his sources talking again?
 
Also heard Barlowe says on one of his live Q&A's that teams are liking Will Riley's strength progression and that he's eating an "insane" amount of calories daily to gain weight.

Riley supposedly did real well in his workout here and in other workouts.

Question for JFC (since this is always a point of contention):

Are we categorizing Fears as "small"? He's 6'4 in shoes at 180 LBS with a 6'5 wingspan, and is one of the youngest players in the draft. Not out of the question he can grow another inch.

For reference, he is currently slightly smaller than Andrew Nembhard, but could easily be Nembhard's size in 3-4 years.

Strongly on the side of not small (though not large either). He's fine for a PG. Certainly not as small like most of the guys he's comped with. His body will need development, but I don't see anything stopping that over the years.

Not an elite passer, but an elite penetrator who can make passes.

I’d rather this than the other way around. In fact, as far as pure stardom goes, the most common traits in the elite players in the league are the constant ability to get anywhere on the court they want, ala elite penetrator like you said, as well as the ability to get to the rim and/or draw fouls imo. His 28.4% from deep is certainly concerning but if he’s elite and we think his shot mechanics aren’t broken, this would be my guy. I think.
