Essengue and Saraf got *****ed on in the BBL Finals by the BBL's Euro league team
Following Potential 2025 Draftees
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date
Yang staying in the draft
Today is the day, I had forgotten. Anyone of note withdrawing?
Avdalis, but I think that was a known thing after he verbally committed to VTech
It looks like Ben Henshall and Mohamed Faye have also withdrawn. Seems like I've seen Faye on some draft boards.

a nic claxton who can shoot the three would be insane.

just one game, but yeah. this will be an interesting series to keep an eye on.
Barlowe said WIll Riley was giving out buckets in a workout with McNeely, Demin, Newell, Clifford and Queen.
Here is my updated big board with tiers. The way I did my tiers this year is for groups of players that I would have a hard time arguing one prospect is much better than the other. Or in other words the difference between players within a tier is personal/team preference. I think this should be my last big board because I'm not sure why this would change much unless some injury has been reported. I've seen hours of film on almost everyone in the top 6 tiers now. I don't feel like I can gain much by watching a bunch more.
Tier 1: Best all around prospect
1.Flagg
Tier2: Best prospect of the rest
2.Harper
Tier 3: Should be a solid starter with some all star potential
3.VJ
4.Tre
5.Ace
Tier 4: Some all star potential if you squint
6.Kas
7.Fears
8.Kon
9.CMB
10.Traore
11.Khaman
12.Queen
13.Sorber
Tier 5: High level role players
14.Bryant
15.Coward
16.Fleming
17.Noa
18.Jase
Tier 6: Mostly theoretical guys, or high level older players
19.Clayton
20.Demin
21.Beringer
22.McNeeley
23.Wolf
24. Riley
25.Clifford
26.Proctor
27.Penda
Tier 7: Guys I'm not sure if I believe in, but are still interesting
28.Yang
29.Powell
30.Asa
31.Raynaud
32.Saraf
33.Hugo
34.Thiero
Tier 8: 2nd rounders that I think could make rotations/be good one day
35.Markovic
36.Yanic
37.Lanier
38.Broome
39.Kam Jones
40.Martin
41.Small
42.Kalkbrenner
43.Watkins
44.Bates
Tier 9: Second rounders that I don't really believe in, but I think are draftable
45.RJ Lewis
46.James
47.Toohey
48.Brea
49.Zikarsky
50.Sears
51.Nembhard
52.Peavy

@The Midnight are you going to start the draft homer thread?
I still don't know who I'm going to pick.

I don't mean this to come off as aggressive—just genuinely curious. Looking at your draft board, it seems fairly aligned with consensus rankings aside from a few players. Is this because you find value in the wisdom of crowds approach, or do you think the consensus is simply more accurate this year and happens to align well with your independent analysis?
I'm not even sure what consensus is this year. I haven't looked at anyone's big boards in the last few weeks besides Tankathon, which I primarily use for looking at and comparing stats.
I didn't take consensus in to consideration at all when putting this together, although I can't say that the opinions of others didn't have any influence on me, obviously it did.
