Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[Tremendous Upside]

Just watching random conference tourney games today.

Nick Martinelli is an extremely interesting player. Turn on the Northwestern game 2nd half and watch. The dude is a funny scorer. Probably has zero NBA shot, but I could see him being a great European player. He jumps on his FT's, which I honestly thought was illegal to do.

You can jump all you want as long as you don't cross the FT line when landing.

Murray Boyles season officially done

Looks like he went out with a good game.

I'm still torn on if he is such a good player that he'll figure it out in the NBA, or if he is just a really good college player. Whatever the case, I'm a fan.

Watching Johnson now, he completely bends the defense.

This is some good film on Philon, especially showing his defensive skills. He's definitely one of the best perimeter defenders in the draft.

He’s a little frail, but honestly I don’t think he’s too far off of the defensive guards that went high in previous drafts (Black, Wallace, Castle, etc). On paper he’s probably a little bit better.

Texas is just an unenjoyable team to watch. Their players are such bad passers outside of Johnson.

Wallace was on a different level defensively, but I agree he's at a similar level as Black/Castle, just with different strengths and weaknesses.

Tre's numbers this year put in context of who he plays with and against are pretty incredible.

Hard not to like Rodney Terry. Nicest dude on the planet.

I'd like to see how he measures, but I think a lot of what he does will translate. He'll be an effective defensive player, decision maker and ball mover who needs to be able to make 35% of this 3s. Not sure he'll be able to rebound at the same level against NBA athletes, but his numbers say he should be a mid 1st-rd pick.

I'd be excited about any of the top 5 guys in this draft. Obviously, Cooper would be the franchise guy, but the others are all better than what we have now.

I have too many games going on at once right now, but Standford / Cal is going down to the wire with Andrej having another huge game (has almost half his team's points) and Raynaud having a pretty big game as well.
