Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[Handlogten's Heros]

Kon being white doesn't really matter, it's just that he's unathletic that matters?

Correct.... but when someone lists it as a qualifier to go find a comp... I think I know all I need to know about how that convo will go.

Yeah, I'm extremely confused by the use of that qualifier.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Not sure that is the insult you want it to be. Ty put up 23/6 per36 this year on 64% TS. Big beefy Ty Jerome may not be a bad thing at all.

I mean, I have him 8th on my board...

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

bigger/stronger in this case also means slower, not as athletic. By saying he's a bigger Ty Jerome, Cy basically just described Sam Merrill. Also, a very useful player, but not a guy you tank for.

Not really. Jerome/Merrill are pretty different players.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

And Ty is biracial, so not a white to white comp, I get points.

So the kinda guy you should take 8th but in no way can you take him 5th?

Yeah, I think there is pretty big drop off when it comes to projectable star talent around 6 or 7.

I need to see the 23 and me for all these guys before we can tell if they are compatible.

I don't think any project as stars... maybe borderline all stars.

 

[KqWIN]

Its not my comp. I used it cuz it was thrown my way. Husky Horny or some version of Bane/Booker/Klay on the high end outcomes is where I'd guess.

There are no perfect comps but if you want slightly lesser versions of the players you think guys are (especially if we are doing the false ceiling thing) you will find guys drafted in the late/mid first that work.

I think his scoring has a better chance to scale up than his pick and role scoring. Part of that increased scoring would be in PnR of course, but Jerome was like a top 15 PnR guy in the league last year. I know how his season ended, but that man deserves some respect!

Maybe Kon a little too short, but I do like his power game inside against switches. Kind of like theoretical Keegan Murray who wasn't sentenced to become a 3&D. I'm not really the one to stress about measurables, but I think he compares well to some guys who are a bit bigger/longer than him.

I think he will find ways within routine actions to scale up a bit. I think he will always be a secondary or tertiary ball handler... its just weird the comps some throw out that lead me to believe they simply looked at the cover of the book. A Corey Kispert that can dribble and pass is no longer Corey Kispert.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

I've always said that VJ's final form in the NBA is a combo guard with legit star potential.

No reason why he can't play the point. Not every "PG" has to be cut from the exact same cloth. The time of "floor generals" is over anyway.

Who pairs better with Walker and Collier? I see them both as part of our long term plans. Assuming Collier doesn't learn to shoot, then we need a shooter next to him.

Tre? VJ? Ace? Harper?

VJ is more of a 2 way player who can compliment a primary ball handler.

Tre spreads the floor better.

Ace can do both.

Harper may be redundant but gives us 2 ball handlers next to each other.
