Following Potential 2025 Draftees

My ranking of the best post-LeBron prospects:

1. Wemby
2. Oden
3. Zion
4. Flagg
5. AD
6. KD

Flagg has way less injury risk than all of these guys had coming into the league though.

I would probably agree with that list.
Oden might be the only one I would take exception to but that's just due to ignorance of his college career (I didn't remember how good he was or wasn't) and hindsight of his pro career. Also I'm kind of bias against 19/20 year olds who look 40 years old and from what I remember Oden was one of those guys lol.
I trust you that he deserves the 2 spot on the list.

If he kept up his pace, I think he could have been the #2 guy in this draft. But I try not to be too reactionary to recent play. I think it can be a real bad sign if a guy struggles against better competition, but Kas if you look at Kas’s full body of work against top 50 opponents it’s quite good. It matters to me how a player performs against better competition, but the timing doesn’t matter to me more than the full body of work. If it was an Egor situation where his performance dropped off a cliff against better talent that would be one thing….but I like how his performance against top 50 opponents compares to others.

IMO, this becomes more clear and easier to digest in the summer when we don’t have as strong of recency bias.
 
I could see Kasparas go anywhere in the 6-10 range. The draft goes pretty flat. He's a bit ahead of the curve, but it will depend on who wants an on-ball guard vs. an athletic or skilled big. Maluach and Queen will probably challenge him in that range.

It feels like VJ is rising up boards and Kas is falling down boards over the past few weeks and I don't quite get it. They've both been playing about the same over the past 8 games or so.

VJ has started answering some questions about his shooting and on-ball creation. His top-shelf athleticism give him considerable upside. Meanwhile, KJ has taken a step back a bit during this timeframe and hasn't put to rest questions about his ability to get to the rim. KJ has also had an injury that is probably affecting him.

It's not so much that KJ has been bad, but that VJ and Tre have been more impressive.

What you have described is the impression I get from people talking about it, but it doesn't really match the reality, at least from the box scores. Kas is averaging more points on similar shooting splits, with more assists. VJ really hasn't been that good over the last few weeks.
