Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Agree that Ace has defensive upside, his effort and focus was just a little hit and miss though. Great lateral movement and athleticism to go with his size.

Unfortunately that is a part of his game that I think will go wasted in Utah. PHI would have a good chance at unlocking that…not very optimistic on our chances however.

Looks like Essengue got in foul trouble and barely played yesterday. 7 points and 8 rebounds in 15 minutes.

Wild rebound rate for a dude that gets knocked off his spots by guards, eh?

Feels like a shot at me. I was just sharing what I saw in the film.

His actual rebound rate (not just for this game) is good, but not great, especially considering how much longer he is than everyone else he plays with.

His Eurocup games have a pretty damn high rebound rate for a guy playing the 4.

OK, I don't have those numbers. How many games was that?

18 games, 24% defensive rebound rate

I would say throughout the years Essengue has played, he usually has an elite defensive rebound rate for a guy playing the 4 (assuming he is usually playing the 4)

This model definitely gets my seal of approval. Great methods, documentation, and cool features like spider graphs, comparisons, and tiers.

Some things that stand out to me:

- Saraf (62) and Traore (91) ranked very low....International guards could be a blindspot
- Will Riley (83) just has awful indicators especially his steals
- Amari Williams (21) and Javon Small (26) are some deep sleepers I've seen on twitter and this model seems to validate that
- Kon (13), Tre (14), and Fears(15) not looking so great for potential 5-8 picks, especially because this model uses some consensous
- WCJ (7) and Sorber (9) are the two highest guys who could be in range for 21

Not a shot, a tease. You are one of my fav posters BTW.

I have not looked at dudes heights he is playing against but he's not in the Chinese Basketball league. He's playing grown men in the Bundesliga.

The best players in China are far better than the best players in the German League tho.

This is news to me.

Is this a bit because of Yang?

This is news to me.

China pays a ton of money to former NBA players and I believe they are allowed two foreign players per team, so the top players on these teams can be former NBA talent. Kenny Lofton JR is probably better than anyone in the BBL.
