Event 2025 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY, COMBINE, AND DRAFT

Damn he's huge. Sounds like high upside. Me likey.

 

probably the best passer in the draft??

 

Physical Comp: Kawhi Leonard
* Shorter but same demensions (3/4" shorter with a 3/4" shorter wingspan)
*Same standing reach
*Cedric has very big hands for his size but aren't as freakish as Kawhi's

Cedric Coward
Hand Length: 9.25"
Hand Width: 10.00"
Height w/o Shoes: 6' 5.25''
Wingspan: 7' 2.25''
Standing Reach: 8' 10''
Weight: 213lbs

Kawhi Leonard
Hand Length: 9.75"
Hand Width: 11.25"
Height w/o Shoes: 6' 6''
Wingspan: 7' 3"
Standing Reach: 8' 10''
Weight: 227.4lbs

Stylistic Comp: Timid Kawhi Leonard with better range on the jumper
Tends to blend in, but plays with similar footwork and balance. Likes to get to similar spots in similar ways. Like Kawhi, lacks the blow by speed and explosion at rim as a driver, but gets wins with length, strength, footwork and a high release. Not as developed as a ball handler or triple threat player as Kawhi was at same age, but might have had better mid range touch although Kawhi took a lot more tough 2's (Kawhi 156/429: 36.4%) (Cedric 51/87: 58.6%)

 

Yes, without a doubt. So you're telling me he's 6-11 in shoes? This seems not real. No?

 

I have a feeling that Ace Bailey is going to slide in the draft. He might even be available at our pick. You heard it here first!

 

If we "somehow" get the 16th pick (currently held by Orlando), who would you select?

I'd be very interested in Sorber.

 

It's not.

Demin measured at 6'8.25" barefoot so going off of historical combine averages, he's 6'9.5" in shoes.

 

NIQUE!!

 

You have said about a dozen different names that they should select. Will you narrow that down by draft day?

 

Depends what they get at 11.

 

#16 PICK:

Hugo Gonzalez

or

Maxime Raynaud (if we draft Egor)

 

Of course not. How can he bump a thread after a good preseason game if he doesn't name half the guys in the draft!

 

I have said AT MOST 3 or 4. I'll rank 'em:

Collin Murray-Boyles
Hugo Gonzalez
Nique Clifford

I'm sure I'll add a couple when I get truly obsessed with watching YouTube between now and the draft. Stay tuned!

 

Sir, that's unfair! A lot of the players I like never get drafted!

 

I think if we take a guard at 11 (Demin, Richardson, etc.) then we take a more mobile or small ball 5 at 16 and if he's there, I'd take Fleming, if he's gone, there are other guys like Lendeborg who should be available or maybe Queen or Newell slide that far and even though I'm not a huge Queen fan, I think he'd have good value outside of the lotto.

So ideally, Demmin with 11 and Fleming with 16.

 

International prospects are rising

Egor…

Rocco…

and now:



He’s in play to be selected in the lotto

 

Vecenie just said Fleming doesn't know where to be on defense and likely to be there in the early 20s. Also, he can't dribble much.


Good value at 27. Wouldn't take him at 16.

Take one of Kasparas, Queen, Demin at 11

Take one of Coward, Carter, Clifford, Essengue, Lex at 16

 

He reminds me way too much of Jerami.

Not on my radar at all.

 

Exactly my comp for for Fleming as well.
I don't think he'll be quite as good as Grant. He's a slow processor.

 

The rest of Rutgers roster was really, really bad. Well below the rest of the conference. The Big Ten had eight NCAA teams and four Sweet 16 teams. The three freshmen that did make the all-conference team also are going to be lottery picks who play on traditional national powers and I think all of their teams went to the Sweet 16. And, finally, Bailey still plays like a guy sometimes still trying to figure it out ... his upside is off the charts, but he's one of those players that can do so much that understanding what he can and should do possession to possession is a learning process, but there is nobody in this draft class, not even Flagg, who has Bailey's ceiling.
