Following Potential 2025 Draftees

1 - Flagg
2 - Harper
3 - Bailey
4 - Edgecomb
5 - Johnson

Jazz manage to not screw up these last 5 games and they’ll get at least one blue chip player/athlete to add to the roster.

After that, I’m hoping they can find a decent opportunity to trade up from the Minnesota pick and snag some value there as well.
 
One thing about VJ that gives me a lot of concern is that while he is a freak athlete, he is not shifty at all. He's not like a Mitchell or Wade who can really contort their bodies and have excellent footwork to get over and around defenders. I think this shows up as he attacks the basket and in his ball handling. He jumps like Wade and Mitchell, maybe even more explosive, but he "moves" like Suggs.
 
What about seniors who have to go to NBA
Teams can get ready to play seniors at discount prices
Unless somebody crazy falls to them (which I don’t see happening) they won’t have the roster spots available. Maybe you get a guy for a 2-way spot, but I’d probably just bet on your highest rated international guy.
 
I have
Flagg - Best Prospect since ...

Harper - I would not cry about Harper, but for some reason, his father's comments (I know he retracted them) bother me.
Ace - I am a huge ACE fan and I might put him above Harper.

VJ - Defense wins championships. Kinda waiting to see the measurements. Got stronger as the year went along. Very close to be added to the above group.
Johnson - He is a taller Clarkson. Could end up being one of the best prospects of this draft.
Jakučionis - I am still a fan and he is firmly #6 for me. I know he struggled later in the year but I still believe in what he can do.

That is my order of preference as well. Though edgecomb and johnson are a toss up for me really.
 
Could you explain this a little more? Exactly what is being compared here?
Only four freshman/sophomore players in college basketball since 2008 have accomplished all of these together in a season:

Offensive rating >114
Effective FG% >51%
TS% >57%
Assist % >27%
Free-throw rate >40

Harden
SGA
Morant

and Dylan Harper
