Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Everytime I read these I think "yeah I could be a scout". I know there are good and bad ones but some of the analysis is so basic and /or just weird or wrong.

Like one of the first convos is about VJ and the executive is talking about him in relation to Cam Thomas. Okay.

Andy basically dumped on a lot of the nonsense Leif has been selling regarding trades and the draft. Leif is a tough listen. He's been so hyperfocused on Tre and making the most ridiculous stretches to fit the love that for his sake I hope he doesn't suck.

He pretty much said his whole system is based on usage and shooting %s. I mean... sure... if all you care about is scoring, I guess that's a way to look at it. (That's why he likes Ace too)... BTW... how does his system get both Ace and Tre as some of the best players when their efficiency is below average?

(this is coming from someone who has both in that 3-5 range...)

yeah, if shooting %s are part of his thing, he shouldn't love Ace in particular.

I didn't care much about whatever his model is per se. I just think the narrative of the big swing is dumb and guys been selling it so hard on X. Yes you need a great ball in hand guy... no it shouldn't be the sole focus of your draft and no you shouldn't stretch to force an okay ball in hand guy to be the "big swing" you need to take. Being great offball is a feature... not a bug to me. If I had a chance to take someone dynamic with the ball in their hand I would if the other stuff lines up. There are lots of ways to hit home runs in the draft.

The trade stuff Leif has been spewing is the stuff I roll my eyes at.
