Following Potential 2025 Draftees

  • Flagg
  • Harper
  • Bailey
  • Edgecombe
  • Kasparas
  • Johnson
That's probably my rock solid, impenetrable top 6. I really dont see anyone falling out or anyone over taking them.

I looked at Tankathon today and they had Kon #6. He has been playing really well. I just struggle to see him overtaking anyone with his very limited physical tools.

Riley at 21 would be among my least favorite potential picks there.

Jak can barely handle against pressure, cant defend 1 on 1, overly relies on step-backs to get open and doesnt get much seperation, and doesnt shoot off the catch. He had one dunk attempt all season despite being 6'6.

I think he's a combo of Grevis Vasquez and D'Angelo Russell. His swing skill is becoming a much better off-ball player.

If I'm wrong on him it's becuase he became a really good off-ball shooter and transforms into a high level connector. I also like that he has enough size/IQ to be hidden on the wing defensively, but he will get targeted in the PO.

The sample size on his catch shoot is extremely small, like 35 attempts. It's such a small sample size that one more make would have taken him from 34% to 37%. All of the indicators and the fact that he is extremely young, make it hard for me to believe he couldn't play off ball if that's where his career ends up.
 
The comp for Kas that I still like the best is Podz.

Podz - 6'5" , 11'.3.5" max reach (reach + vert), 11.16 lane agility, 3.2 shuttle, 3.21 sprint, projected NBA 3pt% .373
Kas - 6'6", 11'2.5" max reach (reach + vert), 10.99 agility, 2.82 shuttle, 3.22 sprint, projected NBA 3pt% .369
 
I'm less excited about Harper than I was before, but it's likely because I haven't watched any of his film or thought about him for the Jazz in a long time. At one point I would have considered getting Harper a genuine franchise building block, but I'm not sure any more.

If there are any real legs to Utah trading up to grab Harper I'll go watch some video and get hyped again. For now I'm content to not be worried about losing out on him.

Feel the same way. It’s a very superficial opinion, but I can’t considered him a #1
Prospect with his shooting, athleticism, and the level of defense he played last season. Still a great prospect, but I see him more as a decent top 3 guy in most drafts.
