Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Givony said Kas is the guy being slept on a little. On a pod with Nate Duncan.

If we can sneak in the back end of the lotto and get him that would be great.

I've gotta listen to this pod. Last year's pod was one of the few times I felt like Givony was letting loose with his real opinions. I totally underestand the flaws with Kas and why he may have dropped...but I think he's gone too far and I really can't shake the idea that he should at least be compared with the guys we're talking about at #5. Would love to trade for him in the late lotto.

Can Kas play off guard? If so, the Podz comp might be spot on. Are we willing to draft 2 guards in this draft?

He played very little off the ball in NCAA, and it seems as though he's always been this way. But I also think he has the shooting/intangibles to play off the ball. He's an imperfect prospect for sure, but if he isn't able to solve his turnover issues I think moving off the ball will mitigate those concerns and he can become a decent role player. The guys I think of are guys like Dinwiddie and Reaves. Could also compare him to a smarter Keyonte/DLO.
 
What I have learned from 479 pages of draft chat...

White athletes are not black athletes
Kon Knipples is a white athlete but nonetheless he is God and HH owns a shrine
Tre can shoot but he has no stocks or bonds
The Jazz will never win the lottery unless we gift our best player to the Lakers
The Spurs won't ever consider trading down... but they might...

Did I miss any of the main points?
 
Fears is the guy I am having a hard time with. Reminds me of Tre Mann but maybe he puts it together.
 
Its ironic that in this draft we are having the white/black convo. The number 1 pick is a white guy that has comps ranging from Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Scottie Pippen, Shawn Marion etc. Just too bad he will have to live with AK47, Dirk, Bird, etc.

He's a real boom or bust prospect IMO. Heavily dependent on the shot, otherwise there isn't a great fallback plan. Much risker than someone like Ace who has like 12 different ways he can carve out a career.

PG's taken this high have a really good record....I don't have a super great argument against Fears, but I prefer the other options.

Not gonna call out anyone specifically, but the first thing someone listed as criteria for comparison was "white" earlier in the thread lol.

I thought you were saying that for some people skin color is the most important thing. You omitted the part about most important thing for comparisons. That was why I was confused.
I agree that skin color is probably the most important thing in comparisons for some people, and I think that's fine.
For some people size will be the most important thing. For some people it will be shooting form. For some it will be athleticism. For some it will be defense. When comparing things one will usually look for similarities between the things that are being compared.
I doubt you can find anyone who would compare Stockton to Jokic though so I think that even those who think skin color is an important factor in a comparison wouldn't have skin color as their number 1 thing in comps. I think size and role and skill set etc comes before skin color for everyone.
