Following Potential 2025 Draftees

I really have no idea how Wolf gets so many blocks. My eyes tell me he is going to have one of the worst wingspan ratios of all time. He's got a 6.7 DBPM!

Is it though? So far Sheppard is averaging 3 PPG, 1 APG on the 32% - 28% shooting. He was a guard drafted in the top 3: none of the guards drafted top 3 had such a poor start to their career as he did. Except, maybe for Fultz, but even Fultz posted better stats. Unless Sheppard dramatically improves in the next several years he is on pace for the worst rookie season as a guard from the top 3 since...at least 1999 ( I did not go deeper in the past).

Historically, if a guard is drafted in the top 3 he is standing out so much that he is ready to produce right away.

But IF I could trade for him I still would. I think he is in a bad situation to be effective. You put him on the Jazz as the starting PG and his number would flourish.
 
Wolf is like a Diaw/Slow-mo hybrid….idk if it’s going to work on either end, but it’s fun to watch.

Crazy combo of size (beef), passing, rebounding, touch, handle, and defensive hands.

The thing is he looks INSANELY fast with the ball. Like maybe the fastest ball-in hand 7 footer of all time. Then you see him jump and it's like Jokic level vertical ability.

Yeah, super agile. He moves like a guard but looks like he can barely dunk lol. His passes have some incredible pace on them too, and he throws them one handed with either hand.

I don’t think some of the stuff like shot blocking will be a 1:1 translation to the NBA, but it’s a good indication of his defensive hands/IQ and overall ability to make things work at the next level.

I would be completely sold on him as a lotto pick if I believed more in his shooting.
 
This starting lineup would be DA’s and Ryan’s dream:

W - Wolf
W - Lauri
W - Flagg
W - Flip
W - Kessler

Take a deep breath. Way too early for that kind of stuff.
