Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[KqWIN]

I think there is like an 80% chance we take Kon or Tre. That's what I've decided.

30% Kon
30% Tre
30% Fears
10% WTF just happened

And I should have prefaced it... I think we end up with Kon or Johnson. I know DA is eyeballing a draft Ace and then trade back dance if the board breaks right.

Agreed, I would much rather have a mystery 2026 pick than a late 2025 pick.

Passing up a chance at Yang is madness

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I also think Philly trades back to 4 and then back to 6 from there. Collects additional picks, seconds and offloads Gordon Drummond.

When we draft Riley at 21 we will all see Riley > Ace

I'm assuming it's a financial deal for Indy more than anything

Jazz need to keep it unclear if they want Tre, Kon or Ace.

Understatement

I think the Jazz want Tre, but they're uncertain that he'll last until #5. I could see the Kon v. Fears debate fall in favor of Kon. More size. More shooting. Jazz may not want to build around a ball-dominant PG. Jazz could have Tre or Kon initiate offense and play Keyonte at the 1, but largely off the ball.

So he is working with the team that wants to take him... and he wants to go there but he's doing them a solid by tanking his value so they can take him at 5 or 6... even though that will cost him real money over the next 4 years? Its a 5M-16M difference from 3 to 4-7.

I don't think Philly is working with him. I think they could be amplifying any rumors because it is helpful to their situation. Any actual real stupidity is all Ace (to the extent the rumors are real. None of us have actually interviewed Ace.)

If it was on Philly's side Ace could simply end it real quick.

If the Pelicans thing is a pre-cursor to a deal I think it would be with #3.

Ace the literal definition of modern day tweener. Lacks the size/strength to play the 4 and lacks the lateral quickness/shooting to play the 2. Got horrible intangibles too. Wouldn't be surprised to see him doing a Whitmore style free fall on draft night.
