The Official 2025 NBA Draft Talk Thread

It’s both

The fact that they’ve been arguably the least successful team of the past 20 years but have never gotten the #1 pick is kinda crazy

But also their front office has had their share of blunders despite that.

It’s also worth mentioning that teams get these generational players and fumble them all the time anyway. Look at New Orleans, went from CP3 to AD to Zion and have nothing to show for it. Cleveland had 3 #1s in 4 years and probably still wouldn’t have been shyt if LeBron didn’t go back

nobody in charlotte is even thinking about shai

not having a single #1 pick in the history of the franchise across multiple owners is fukking insane though

Dallas and Philly moving into the top 3 was extremely anticlimactic for the NBA as a whole IMO.

There's no honor in that Lottery shyt. However, the last 2 years Lottery Winners have been Play-In Teams

Definitely needs to reformed.

- 10 team lottery
- Flat odds at 10%
- No reward for gutting roster or ugly tanking.

Potential tank off between the 9-12th would be hilarious.

Smart move .


Wanted the Pistons to look at him in the second …but go back and get that NIL bag and improving his draft stock is the smart
Play

I have to imagine Pettiford is going to do the same

no, at least try to win and if you don't make the playoffs and get in the lottery, it shows you can still get a good pick.

Unless you're the Bulls

I like his fit next to Sarr tho, I think their skillsets complement each other

I can’t say that Duncan and Robinson is the exact vision I’m seeing but don’t let me bring the vibes down

Yea Fland can definitely improve his stock. But Pettiford might as well stay in since the thing hurting him is his height/length and that’s something he can’t fix. I heard he might just be ready to go pro.
