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

Someone better draft Maluach and Queen before 21... The Jazz always had this weird obsession with drafting centers.

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

Excellent pick by the Suns.

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

 

[George W]

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

- George

 

[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.

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.

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

In fairness, it's like being deported.

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
