Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Like, come on, this is literally just Paul Millsap if he couldn't shoot, literally everything is 1:1, it's incredible.

Never seen a guy I don't like that much making me this nostalgic, lol.

These compilation videos do a great job of highlighting just how obscene his hand speed is. Man, I wish he could shoot.

Eerily similar mannerisms. Millsap was a Glass Master. He led the NCAA in virtually every rebound stat. But that was his best skill coming out of college. His is the only jazz jersey I own.
 
I saw Maul Pimpslap in person in college. Easy to say this now, but I went home and told everyone I saw the best big man I’ve ever seen in college. It was so clear he was the best player on the court.
 
ESPN new draft article Jazz notes

-idk, could draft Ace at 5
-idk, could draft VJ at 5
-idk, could draft Kon at 5
-idk, could draft Fears at 5


Incredible narrowing down of the set of options. Next, you'll tell me they might pick Tre Johnson as well.
 
I will say... This is a really tough draft to break down mock draft wise

-76ers are coming off one of the five worst seasons in NBA history and have no needs... Other than Embiid and PG13 being healthy. Every player is a bad fit with them.
-Hornets' new GM has made two total moves, a terrible draft pick and attempting (and failing) to scam another team at the trade deadline.
-Jazz are coming off a catastrophic last three years but need basically everything.
-Wizards are 33-131 (!!) in last two years and have marginal prospects at every position.
-New Orleans is trapped in Zion hell and have a new GM.

And the guys in the 3-7 range are all so kind of ehh and not franchise changing.
 
Here are some things that stand out to me the most from Givony’s big board update:

Ace Bailey is the currently leader to go #3 to Philadelphia. If they pass he likely goes to Charlotte or Utah.

VJ Edgecombe sounds like a lock for #4 to Charlotte. If they pass on him then he won’t get past Utah at #5.

Tre Johnson comes in at 5th overall. He is expected to go within the top-8 picks.

Khaman Maluach is showing some shooting touch in workouts and is up to 6th overall. He is the only true big man they project in the top-10 currently.

Jeremiah Fears comes in at 7th overall. His range starts at #5 to Utah. Brooklyn is noted at as a really strong fit at #8.

Kon Knueppel comes in at 8th overall. His range starts as high as #3 to Philadelphia with him receiving looks in the top-5 including Charlotte and Utah.

Noa Essengue is one of the biggest risers on this update. He is up to 9th overall.

Derik Queen’s range starts at #8 but could slip out of the lottery. He is down 13th overall.

Collin Murray-Boyles is an analytic draft model darling but teams are worried about his size and shooting ability. He is down to 14th overall.
