Following Potential 2025 Draftees

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.

You skipped a number

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

If he had an experienced agent, which clearly he does not.

Not at all

I'm not there with Ace. I think he can be Trey Murphy pretty easily. The only thing I'd be worried about is if he won't pass the ball. I think some of the worry and bluster is overblown. He wants an opportunity to get minutes and touches, just like any ambitious rookie. Maybe he wants a big media market, but that isn't really a factor in drafting someone.

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

Financial but also can trade all of their firsts now.

The Tre+Riley anti-analytics draft would be fire.

Thats not an article. Its a collection of quotes from another real article and a few comments from the comment section. Journalism.

Apparently, Ace cancelled his initial workout with the Sixers, indicating he wanted a more clear path to minutes and touches. Now supposedly another workout for Ace has been scheduled. Overall, it does come off as unprofessional. At least, the optics aren't good.

I don't blame a young prospect who wants to be a star not wanting to go to an established team

Until about an hour ago, I didn't think the Jazz would really consider Kon at #5. Now I'm starting to think it's a possibility.

NOP just traded for the #23 pick from Indiana and gave them back their 2026 pick in a deal. Weird.

I would have done #21 for NOP 2026 unprotected... no doubt.

Edit: I misread that it was the Pacers 2025 for the Pacers 2026 pick. Pass.
