Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Not much but I think guys like CMB it opens your eyes a little to how consistent he was.

CMB is a force. I think a reason why the twitter nerds love him is because they take the draft from a million angles (for better or worse) and he always shows up well.

It’s really just the jump shot, and he might still find a way to be good without it. If the Jazz weren’t tied to Kessler, I would absolutely have him in this group that we’re discussing at 5.

I think he could/should be the pick at #6. He and Sarr are a great theoretical duo at the 4/5.

I think the natural thinking is that Queen at 6 is the right pairing... would be interesting to see if they choose either. If not one of them could really slide like to 12-14ish. I guess maybe its CMB/Queen/Khaman kinda of competing for those big spots and one may go a little lower. I think Sorber entered the chat for draft twitter but not sure he can go higher than any of those guys... someone may get a gem and if CMB drops and hits... the draft nerds will be insufferable.

Just on the basis of "of course it will", you can lock in CMB to the Spurs at 14.

I had the same thought. Its a fair deal if they want to avoid the awkwardness of Harper, Castle, Fox.

It was also part of my thinking when I was proposing small trades back. Like if we can sub in 6/7/8 for 5 and get something back or maybe they refuse to put 14 in the deal...

It will all depend on SA and if they can get in on Giannis or if they want to make a choice on those three guys now. If they drive that car off the lot and there are some struggles (which I could see) the asset depreciates a lot. I'd probably still take Harper and figure it out if I was them.

Why would the Spurs give us 14 on top of it? They won’t.

He’s not saying he can’t be as effective. Kon has some troubling off the dribble and isolation numbers. They are bad bad.

Where as someone like Tre has super impressive numbers in that department.

I said earlier that I'd refrain from offering my opinions on college players since I don't watch the college game. However, I'm going to break this pledge by saying that IF the Jazz draft Kon at 5, I'll rent my clothes and cover my head with ashes. I watched him during the tournament, and everything about him screams competent NBA starter/role player but nothing about him suggests a transformative star. I don't think we purposively lose 65 games to draft a competent role player. For the pain they put us through, and will continue to put us through next year, the FO's sights HAVE to be set higher than this.

The above, of course, comes with the caveat that I don't really know what I'm talking about.

Edited to add, No, this is because he's white (just in case that thought pops into anyone's mind)
