Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Of course not, but unless he's senile (which is a real possibility), he should remember what Doncic looked like when he came into the league.

Luka wasnt 17/18 when he came in the NBA.

Cooper is probably the best player who started college basketball at 17 years old, which makes Dick's statement accurate to his own experiences.

Tank on

CORRECTION: Dick Vitale thought it's 1976 and he's talking about Kevin McHale.

I’m absolutely certain Kevin McHale - the guy who’s play inspired the term “black hole” and never beat the allegations - at 17 was not nearly as skilled as Cooper Flagg.

Jazz now have 4 picks in this draft...for the moment at least. Not sure I'm too amped about 2nd round prospects, but I'd be looking for Rocco, Ruzic, Proctor, maybe the mighty Dink. JT Toppin is worth taking on, imo.

The Spurs are the luckiest franchise in the modern history of the NBA. They are going to get the #1 pick unless we can help them and the Hawks make the playoffs.

I almost welcome it. It will be the end of my fandom.

Why are they getting the #1 pick?

Why are they getting the #1 pick?

Because they’re lucky and they’ll have two lottery picks with flattened odds. It’s gonna happen.

Chicago will also convey the #11 pick to the Spurs and they will take Wolf.

Currently they have a 2% chance at #1. I guess 5% when you add the current Hawks odds. But both teams could win in the play-in and not be in the lottery

Odds like that didn’t stop Atlanta or Houston last year.

And again, they have Atlanta’s pick, who will sink like a stone in the wake of JJ’s injury.

Atlanta wont drop out of the play in. A healthy Hawks team (sans JJ) can still win a play-in series.

But they should institute a rule you cant draft top 3 back to back years.
