Following Potential 2025 Draftees

He looks really frail/not the greatest athlete….but he has some really good indicators. FT% and STLs are amongst the best.

I havent watched him at all outside of highlights, but he supposedly the fastest player in the draft w/ the ball.
 
Fears is also extremely young. He will still be 18 when training camp starts next years. He does look a little underdeveloped physically but he has no problem doing damage inside the paint. Finishes well and gets to the line at a very high rate.
 
Edgecombe - has the athletic talent in spades. He also seems to have a lot of heart. If he gains more IQ he could be dangerous. I think he could develop into one of the better prospects in this draft but he has some work to do. I think he has a lot of functional athleticism. He also tries on defense and that seems some what rare. If the jazz got him in the teens I would be super excited.

I'd be shocked if he fell into the teens.

I wouldnt call Olympics games high level international play. He whooped up on Finland (without Lauri mind you), Poland and Lebanon. The only "high level" international players he faced as team was Spain, which was his worst game. So only one team with actual NBA talent?

Sorry but he did NOT woop up on Lebanon James.
 
My biggest issue with VJ is that for a guy with his athletic capabilities he doesn't have the awareness, currently, to be a great defender. So he currently doesn't project as a difference maker on either end for me.

That said, I would still be happy if we ended up with VJ. He has at least one play every game film I watch of his that is unbelievable. He would be super fun to get to watch every night on the Jazz. I also think that some of his weaknesses are likely to improve over time and when that happens he has as great chance to be a star player.

It will be interesting if we get a guy that is less likely to have an impact on winning next season as we start thinking about the 2026 draft.

I think we differ on this….but I really value stocks as a future indicator. I don’t mind that he gambles to get to them. It takes some combination of awareness/hustle/athleticism to get them and I’d much rather have a guy who gambles/is out of position more often than a guy who does not create plays on defense. Steals in particular is well known indicator for both offense and defense.

I would bet on VJ being one of the best, if not the best guard defenders in this draft.
 
I also like Edgecombe because he plays with some bravado BUT also doesn't mind moving without the ball. In that sense he's a polar opposite of someone like Keyonte.

He just has a good motor. We can't have any more guys who don't.
