Following Potential 2025 Draftees

It doesn't feel like 12pts/5reb/1ast in one of the less good European leagues is great production, but I don't have a super great feel for this.

I know that Killian Hayes was a completely different prospect, but he was averaging 12pts/2reb/6ast on the same team.
right and even he has been an nba rotation player his entire career - exactly what i'm referring to by high floor.
 
If I try to read some tea leaves here, the Jazz may really want Tre Johnson, enough to trade up with Philadelphia. However, a deal with Philly may be too difficult to put together. If the Jazz think Edgecombe goes at 4 to Charlotte (like almost everyone else seems to think) and the Jazz have concerns about Ace Bailey, then that would explain why they'd look at Jeremiah Fears or even Kon Knueppel.

In other words, the Jazz may not be comfortable with Ace for one reason or another and he may be the guy most likely to slip to #5.
If we don't want Ace might as well just trade down. Fears is not worth the #5 pick.
 
I kinda really wanna get VJ and CMB somehow, then just suck *** because our offense is awful but at least we’re tough and developing an identity. We can develop/build out the shooting/offense down the line.
The Thunder are proving that there is validity in building defense-first. You gotta still care about spacing while you do it, but if you’ve done those two things, you’re a star away from playoffs and maybe winning some rounds.
 
How does Essengue compare to Ousman Dieng?

Better motor, better defensive reactions, more aggressive getting to the rim as a starting point. I don't have stats on hand, but I'd assume rim finishing is a differentiator, both in terms of volume and efficiency. He's better off the dribble in general. Another factor is passing ability that he's started to show later in the season.
