Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Honestly I am prepared to come out of this draft with one of the top guards. I wouldn't even complain about Pate.

But either Harper or Traore would tickle me pink.
 
Cooper Flagg is hyped up as a generational talent because the relentless draft-industrial complex needs him and his narrative. It's all about money, entertainment and eyeballs. This year's draft was terrible – there was no star power at all. People lost interest, and when people lose interest, other people lose money. That can't happen two years in a row, so Flagg is the new Wemby. Sure, he's the Temu version, but that's better than nothing at this point.

I know I'm right about this, so I'm just gonna take it easy and watch everything unfold. Flagg will have an underwhelming season. His shot won't fall, he'll block some shots, he'll get in the NBA and be shockingly bad.
Tell us about Victor Wembanyama.
 
I'm officially in the Traore bandwagon. He seems highly intelligent player to be the floor general Jazz needs. Being an euro, I also feel it's less likely for him to want out from SLC the first chance he gets.
He's real nice. I think there are gonna be legit like 7 guys that would have been consensus #1 picks in the 2024 draft... and maybe like 8-10 that could have gone #1. Flagg, Traore, Edgecomb, Harper, Bailey on the short list for now. Liked the Hugo tape as well.
 
I do wonder if Flagg is gonna get the same #2 schtick that Lauri gets or if he plays more ball in hand creator. Sounds like he will be a wrecking ball on defense and good offensive player but maybe not an engine. Don't think that means he is overrated at all.
