Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Ok, but who is that last elite scorer who was a so so athlete to go number one? He isn't better than Cooper

Cade Cunningham?

You’re calling him a so so athlete for what reason exactly? You don’t have to dunk on people to be a great athlete.

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate Harper's and college-Ant's athleticism?

That’s a loaded question. Edwards is in a tier of his own. Top <1%. Better question would be Harper and Cade.

I mean, Luka went #3, but that was a catastrophic mistake, lol.

Big game for BYU today and the first time Egor Demin will play against real competition. (3:30 Mountain time)

I get what you are saying, but at some point production matters.

I get why Cooper goes number one, but I just don't think you can see Harper doing what he's doing and not think really hard about it.

It's 7 games in, if Harper averages 27 PPG on great efficiency while playing like this, he's going to be viewed as an elite prospect (unless his jumpshot is viewed as unfixable or something)

I think Harper as a player can land somewhere between Cade and Brunson. His finishing touch around the rim is world class.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

Drake Powell with a good game for UNC against MSU.

Keeping my eye on him for hopefully the Wolves pick.

At the moment, I like Kasparas in that 10-15 range, but Powell is really interesting if he can shoot. Powell looks like a solid 6'6" or maybe 6'7" here.

I think the draft top 5 right now might be more like:

1. Flagg
2. Harper
3. Demin
4. Bailey
5. Johnson

I don’t think you’re far off at all. That’s my top-5 at the moment but switching around guys 3-5.

This is a pretty fascinating draft. One of the most exciting drafts I’ve ever followed. Egor Demin has been my guy for a while now. Special talent no doubt. At the moment, my top 3 are Flagg, Demin, and Harper (in no particular order).

 

[rippimpc]

Harper is in that ginobili/roy/harden/doncic mold

 

[Elizah Huge]

Rough first half for Demin

 

[framer]

Rough first half for Demin

He has some stuff to figure out with Hall. He's fine though.

Stark contrast watching him after watching Harper the last two days. He’s fine but the hype was insane on here recently.

 

[fishonjazz]

I thought people were a bit crazy putting Demin top 5.

I thought people were a bit crazy putting Demin top 5.

Agree, he should be drafted exactly where the Timberolves pick falls and not a spot higher.

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

Theiro is clearly not ranked high enough and will end up in the top 15, but really don't know how to feel about him.

12/21 from the free throw line as a hustle wing is... not something you see everyday.
