What's new

Following Potential 2025 Draftees

The only thing that I'm really taking from AA's hiring is that we should shift our expectations more towards neutral in relation to how we thought about DA's preferences. I thought we'd 100% be an Ace team before AA, less so now. But that's has less to do with AA coming in and more to do with DA having less presence. AA saying the most generic things possible about what he's looking for moves the needle zero.
 
I have never thought about team first as an attitude, it's about the on court playstyle. Sexton has great attitude, he is not a team first player.
Reminds me of that Jazz team from a few years ago when all our perimeter players thought the best way they can help the team win is to shoot. You can say they all were "team first" in that way :D
 
It would be fairly unprecedented to have a guy as unathletic as Kon be a top 5 pick (top 8 really). Is he really that exceptional, or is that just a reflection of the strength of this draft?
 
I think I'll throw out some "hot" or maybe luke warm takes.

Cooper Flagg - won't be the best player from this draft. He should be top 5 but not the best and maybe not the second best in 10 years.

Dylan Harper - is going to look like a bust his first year in the league.

VJ Edgecomb - will be in an NBA finals. He might not be the best player on the team but he will be in a finals.

Ace Bailey - will be the player that will get GMs extensions or fired.

Trye Johnson - will be a top 10 scorer in the NBA at some point. He will win rookie of the year.

Kon Knuepple - will have the longest career in this draft class. He might not be the best player but he will be valuable every where he goes.

Derek Queen - will be out of the league in 5 years.

Kaman Maluach - will be considered top 5 in DPOY award during his career.

Egor Demin - will shoot above league average from 3 for his career. He will even approach 40% for a bit.

Nolan Traore - will be a consistent starter in the NBA and will be considered for an All-Star team.

Cool takes, Chargers. I don’t have the expertise to judge with precision, but it is certainly entertaining that you made such predictions.
