Following Potential 2025 Draftees

After analyzing additional data, the trend remains consistent. Specifically, I’m focusing on a benchmark of Bilal Coulibaly, Pacome Dadiet, Tidjane Salaün, and Zaccharie Risacher, calculated using the fantasy points calculation.

I’m now referring to this benchmark as the Killian Hayes Line — since that’s the per-36 output Hayes posted. It serves as a useful reference point for evaluating the fantasy upside of young prospects.

What makes this intriguing is that several members of the 2023–2024 draft classes—Bilal Coulibaly, Pacome Dadiet, Tidjane Salaün, and Zaccharie Risacher—are currently tracking below the Killian Hayes Line in terms of fantasy production.

If all of them eventually carve out meaningful roles as reliable rotation players despite producing under this line, it would challenge the utility of the Killian Hayes Line as a predictive metric. On the other hand, if they struggle to stick in the NBA, it may reinforce the idea that sub-38.7 FP/36 is a warning sign for future fantasy value.

It’ll be fascinating to watch how this plays out over the next few seasons.

Kuminga situation is a rollercoaster. Reportedly turned down 5/$150 (though some have suggested is wasn't all guaranteed), had his weird season, now has two teams offering him 4/$90 but they can't trade for him, and now he's deciding between qualifying offer and 2/$45M.
 
dumb for tony to make that call right now and dumb for anybody to put any stock in it right now. even if he has some inside knowledge, too much changes over the next month and a half.
By the time you wrote this, I had spoken to four of the five franchises in the top five, and had done extensive homework over the year on each prospect.

It was obvious that Ace was going to make it out of the top 3, which made it obvious he was going to make it to 5.

I’m not right on everything, because nobody is right on everything. That being said, I work my *** off and nothing I say is “dumb”, or throwing stuff against the wall. You may not agree with some things I say or write, but I take real pride in my craft.
 
I definitely have had gripes with @Tony Jones , but fans also got to recognize that their fandom is not an actual source either lol. I love following the draft, but the thing that annoyed me the most were people taking everything from a stan/fan perspective. People get way to defensive/hysterical about their favorite prospects.

Yeah I never expected him to be there either but how the hell do you question him like that? He talks to people and has his sources. I’m sure those people aren’t always telling the truth or full truth, but has a hell of a lot more insight than us the average fan.
