Following Potential 2025 Draftees

FWIW here are the guys I would have in contention for 7 currently. Also FWIW all of these guys could drop to the 20's on my final board as well. Things are still very fluid for me:

- Fland - Most exciting film for me of the non top 6 guys.
- Khaman - The best true big prospect in the draft which will be coveted by many teams
- McNeeley - Very high floor with some upside
- Philon - I'm a sucker for a guard that can really defend, and I think he's the most talented.
- Queen - Extremely skilled and productive young big.
- Traore - Will be really good if he can shoot

So 2 guys that might end up going back to school (Fland/Philon), 2 guys that I really don't like at all (Khaman/Queen), a guy that is extremely boring (McNeeley), and a guy shooting 40/29/71 shooting splits (Traore).

I sincerely hope the Jazz don't end up drafting at 7. If they did, I'd probably take Derik Queen and use him as a high-post initiator. I'd also take a long look at Murray-Boyles in case he really puts his game together during pre-draft.

Salt Lake City is not a small town. All of the teams you mentioned, the Jazz have the best organization. Kid is from Maine. Have you ever been to Maine? Talk about small towns. A main reason a player may consider staying is the NIL they receive. They are not starving students. College is a once in a lifetime experience. Besides, the kid just turned 18 so he is young enough to stay another year. The NBA and the shoe contract will be waiting for him. As a Jazz fan, I hope he doesn't stay and the Jazz win the first pick. However, I can see why an 18 year would want to have another year with his peers. Another bonus for him, is the Jazz have a very young team so he would have guys t hang out with.

New Orleans is basketball purgatory. Washington sounds miserable. Charlotte is pretty dope and people say nice things about Toronto... Flagg would be a god in Utah. If he didn't want to come here initially I think he'd be cool once he got here. The business environment is good and essentially the only game in town. It would be ironic if the white american basketball savior was banished to Canada lol.

Its kind of a ****** list but I think we'd be near the top. Basketball situation, fanbase, etc. are all pretty ideal. He's spent limited time with Team USA and Hardy. You could do a lot worse at the top of the draft.
 
I remember getting some flack on here for pouring some water on the Egor fire after a few games to start the season.

One mock had him at 15, so his value has dropped. I have seen him play several times and not once did I think I would draft him with our lottery pick. I think staying in school another year would be beneficial to him considering how poorly he has played.

Ya I mean byu might have played their best game in their program history last night and he wasn't even noticeable. Was probably about the 5th best player on the team last night. Which is kind of typical for him.
