The Official 2025 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[aceboon]

This looks to be the first draft really impacted by m NIL

Lowest amount of early entrants declaring in years, a relatively high amount of late 1st/2nd round prospects withdrawing to go back to the school

Good for college ball but I’d imagine teams are frustrated

And now you also got alot more Euros going to American colleges for NIL further diminishing the draft pool

I think there's been enough time with no counter.

The Raptors select Collin "Rich Man's Dave Cowens" Murray-Boyles. Center, from South Carolina

Woah Dylan Harper elite. Good stats for Tre and fukk ace Bailey has more stats that’s bad

That Stephon Castle/Dylan Harper combo gonna be scary down the road

Presti somehow drafting another PG or a 6'9-7'0 lanky wing project that they try to play at PF

Probably be the wing since he swings for one every couple years & still hasn't found one that stuck. Have to continue the Bazeley, Poku, & Dieng blueprint with all these extra picks.

All the talk about these players going back to school and withdrawing from the draft, but I just found out Michael Jordan has a degree in Geography.

This was before he went back to finish in 1986:


One semester of Trig
Two semesters of University Calculus

"I've never had an IQ test, I don't want to know my score. I know I'm good at math. I was a math major at North Carolina, until I missed too many classes because of basketball. My sophomore year I switched to geography. But I'm good with numbers. If I study math principles, I can remember them," Jordan added.

1 semester of Portuguese
1 semester of Brazilian Literature
1 semester Anglo-America

Asa Newell, F, Georgia.

I'm not someone who likes to draft based on potential. I want to see what you can do. But this guy has loads of it. He can run the floor, he can shoot the three, he can D up. He has a high ceiling.

I've heard too many instances of guys feeling like they can punk Newell in a big spot, but off potential, he has more than just about any big

If the board falls like this @tremonthustler1 the Chicago Bulls select Derik Queen with the 12th pick

2026 might be stronger than expected. One or two of these draft drop outs might end up working their way into the lottery next year given more time to improve on college.

@staticshock @AVXL @#1 pick Atlanta's up

Would love to see the Hawks take Coward here, their perimeter defense would be insane and he can score too, but they need a big body.
