Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Good player. Wish he wasn’t as light as he was but he’s really high on my list for 21.

Yes, him gaining strength is why he's going to need a couple years.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Think Philon is every bit as good as recent defensive guards like Black, Wallace, and Castle. But he is like 25+ lbs lighter and that matters a lot for these guys. Don’t think it should cause him to fall to second round though.

His trash talking adds about 25lbs though, so it evens out.

Yaxel isn't as athletic imo

No, and it's probably not close.

 

[YoungJefe]

What would it cost to move from 5 to 3?

 

[Shad]

Yes to Carter Bryant at 21

 

[Elizah Huge]

What would it cost to move from 5 to 3?

21

David Locke seems to think moving to 3 is completely doable. Also says 21

For those that have watched a lot of Tre Johnson film, what are your thought on this:

Does Tre Johnson actively avoid contact or has he just not learned how to finish through contact?

I think he avoids some contact and also isn't accustomed to finishing over bigger defenders.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Fleming has a nicer handle than I was expecting, but man, he is way too functionally small to play center in any real way. Just no presence in the paint.

Feels like just a really good rebounding PF if he pans out.

He would play the 5 in a Paul Reed sort of way.

Carter Bryant is in the discussion for best defensive player in the draft:

I think his offense is very far away, and so I'm a little lower on him than some on here.

He's showing flashes of 3D, playmaking and scoring at the rim. Shane Battier potential, imo.

21

I'd do that in a heart beat
