The Official 2025 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Can’t teach self creation and 6’10 wingspan. I think people said he had some weird shyt with his legs where he can’t move side to side well or some nut shyt, but elite shot creation and elite wingspan, you’ll take that out of your swing every time.

I still think atp, you’re just seeing mad jockneying out of his camp, VJ and Kon’s with Bailey crashing out. I don’t think anyone knows who will be taken with that 3rd pick (prob won’t be Kon)

his rebounding numbers are concerning and he showed zero interest on the defensive end. I give him a pass since he had to carry that offense, but like u said....he's 6'6 w/ 6'10 wingspan (tyler Herro only has a 6'3 wingspan) and his playmaking is underrated.

If he can just be a neutral defender in league sign me up. that jumper is too pure... i told @Flight once i found out he has no hobbies in that KOC interview and he just stays in the gym 24/7 like KD that sold me

I fukk with Kon too btw, but he's last on my list for that tier

1. Tre
2. Ace
3. VJ
4. Kon + additional assets

I’m starting to see the vision with taking him over VJ

I still think Morey takes VJ bc he fits the 'win now' timeline and the future Maxey timeline. i think its a safer pick for a nikka trying to keep his job, i hope im wrong tho

@Brozay phoenix might have solved your problem.


Enjoy Bryant or Coward

There’s like one too many ifs with VJ for him to be a cornerstone type of piece. Which I think the 6ers (not Morey but the FO) should be in the game of considering if this core only has one more prove it year. I love Maxey and McCain but I don’t think they have the definitive first option to build around as far as young cores go. A lot of promise and tools tho. They can easily flip a switch and be like the pre Udoka Rockets, in terms of their timetable.

VJ seems like an elite complimentary piece, but the lack of shot creation is why i would pass on him at #3. Maxey, till this day, still struggles with that aspect of his game. McCain showed flashes of it as a rookie, but that was only a 20 game sample size.

I think Tre can solve most of his weanesses by simply adding more weight. He needs to get on that Maxey weight room protocol That should help with his ability to finish through contact and guarding wings.

Ace and Tre are swings
VJ and Kon feel safer tho
