Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Walter Clayton Jr. day on Cashiggy, and he's basically Steph Curry without any natural play making ability. The average distance he shoots from is insane. The difficulty of his 3pt attempts is nuts.

Walter Clayton Jr (22.3 yrs) - 6'3.25" (6'4" wingspan) 8'1.5" standing reach, 37" vert, 38.6% 3pt%, 87.5% FT%
Curry (21.3 yrs) - 6'3.25" (6'3.5" wingspan) 8'1" standing reach, 35.5" vert, 38.7% 3pt% 3, 87.6% FT%

The biggest difference (which is a pretty huge difference) is that Steph had a 38.3% usg% at Davidson and Walter Clayton Jr. had a 25.6% usg% at Florida.

(Disclaimer for those who take these things too far: I'm not saying he's going to be Steph, just that they have some similarities)

I really like how he moves seamlessly from on ball to off ball and back on. Constantly moving. He should be there at 21 and would look great within the Hardy system.
 
The locked on Jazz intl draft specialist guy raved about Hugo saying he was by far the best Euro player at the events he has seen.

Givony said something similar in a podcast raving about him knowing how to play due to his time in the REAL Madrid academy. Thats all I know about Hugo.
 
NIL money keeping guys in college feels like it is going to make 2025 - 2027 second round picks wait an extra year until they are ready. That lag will catchup in a year or two.

Trading 2025 second round picks for future second round picks sounds like an easy way to increase their value.
 
I watched Hugo awhile back and my impression was that he was really athletic and had a high motor but felt sped up on offense and the shooting is a huge question.

No idea why but I always get Walter Clayton Jr confused with Tyrese Proctor. Doesn't make sense and cant be explained but its true.

He might be the guy hiding in plain sight. That jumper is so pretty.

His lack of play making could limit him, and he might end up more like Seth Curry, but he's a weapon for sure.

The most impressed I was with him was during the national title game and he wasn't scoring a lot, but still found ways to impact the game positively with extra effort.
 
Looks like Noa Essengue got officially measured. He's grown an inch, added 10 lbs and added nearly 2 inches to his wingspan since his measurements from more than a year ago at Basketball Without Borders. Standing reach seemingly has gone down an inch or so in this measurement. It was measured at 9'3" before. His hands are also big, if that matters.

I’m big on taking home run swings on upside. . . so I can definitely get on board (but not at 5)
