Game Thread 2025 NBA Draft - June 25th & 26th, 2025 - 6PM MT

[Rubashov]

I'd be curious who actually wants to go to Utah

I dunno he's gonna get heaps of minutes, heaps of usage, I get his agent wanted him to go to a bigger market but its still a pretty good situation for him.

 

[Eminence]

Why? They were the worst team (record wise) last year and they’re clearly rebuilding. I’m not shocked if top prospects don’t want to be drafted by the Jazz. It’s the organization’s job to change their mind.

Normally I'd get that, but his thing pre-draft was that he wanted to go somewhere that stunk so he could be a star.

 

[framer]

Everyone has seemed kind of upset with where they are going, CMB seemed visibly upset going to Toronto

He should be ecstatic. He went way higher than he should have.

In fairness, it's like being deported.

Suns desperately need a center, and it looks like they're gonna get him

- George

and there you go.....

Small market teams are now winning championships
Bucks, Nuggets, Thunder, etc

Any guesses where Phoenix may be looking to trade Malauch? I do not get the Mark Williams move

Utah

 

[jazznik]

To be honest... at 21... I wouldn't even be mad at them taking either of them.

We already have 2 promising young centers who need all minutes they can handle. The Jazz desperately need a decent guard.

 

[Sardines]

Why can't Adam Silver make this a little more casual and fun.

Have you seen Adam Silver?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Last year Buzelis was the biggest cryer and he turned out good. This year it might be Malauch

 

[Jaanipoeg]

why would they trade him?

I mean, the Mark Williams trade coming through right as they make their pick for Khaman makes it feel like another trade is finalizing to send him somewhere else. Otherwise it is incredibly weird timing

 

[Udidthizz]

Happy for Maluach. Seems like a good kid.

who's our second center?

 

[stitches]

Maluach seems like a good kid. Rooting for him to succeed...

 

[framer]

We really aren't going to use those second rounders, right?

oh i missed that...

 

[Rubashov]

Can somebody put a ball gag in Perkins mouth? Then maybe cut his ****ing head off.

 

[jazznik]

who's our second center?

And who is our first guard?
