Event 2025 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY, COMBINE, AND DRAFT

Athletic's next tier (note the huge gap they have between Jakucionis (7) and Emin (25), whereas Givony and Woo seem to regard them as about equal)

 

Getting Ace Bailey and Kon in one draft would beat huge home run reminiscent of the draft we traded for Aldridge and Roy in

 

Wow, was June 10th anointed Mock Draft Day? Because the Ringer's just updated theirs, too. You're not going to like who they've got us taking, though...

 

Why do mocks have the Sixers taking a guard? I feel like Bailey is the obvious pick there at 3.

 

Because Bailey is scaring people. Everybody says that if his head is screwed on tight he's the second-best prospect in the draft, but very few people seem to think it is. Another Michael Beasley?

 

I'd be happy if Essengue was available for us or Murray-Boyles

 

The Ringer’s updated mock:

#11: Danny Wolf

 

You're right, don't want Danny Wolf and I don't there there is any chance Portland will take him.

 

Gross

 

Philly must not be too impressed with VJ or Bailey. Maybe they end up trading down if SA does not want to give up Harper.

@MikeAScott
Sources: The 76ers have engaged with the Spurs about potentially moving up to the No. 2 pick. For now, the Sixers have zeroed in on four NBA Draft prospects with the No. 3 pick, including a private workout last week with VJ Edgecombe and Ace Bailey visiting Philadelphia next week

 

wut??? You're attaching the 11th pick to Simons in order to move down to 16 and adding the 25th pick plus a couple of role players?

YUCK!

 

I'm probably out on a limb, but I value Isaac on his deal moving forward more than Simons on an expiring. And unless there's a guy that I really like still at 11, I prefer having 16 and 25.

 

Isaac’s contract has years but at a lower cost and with off ramps as described by others here.
I do agree that if someone you love isn’t at 11, moving down 5 spots and getting 25 may be reasonable. Fortunately, IMHO, there will be one of a handful of players available at 11, and I wouldn’t want to risk losing any of them to move down for an extra pick.

 

I hope CMB falls in a good spot for his skill set. Very fun player that appeals to my basketball sensibilities.

 

Hugo’s updated measurements:

6’6.25” w/o shoes
6’10.75” wingspan
223 lbs

The sleeper of the draft

 

So long as that "good spot" is not OKC. Or the Lakers (who could certainly use him.)
I've seen him going to Houston (as well as falling into the 20s, so go figure) which fits their type, but they seem over-stocked for that very reason.

 

Rumors:
Philly is talking to SA about trading for the #2
Dumars (New Orleans) really likes Ace Bailey and is trying to trade up for him
Kings "aggressively" trying to move up
Demin falling out of the lottery
All teams (Atlanta, OKC, Orlando, Brooklyn) with multiple first rounders are looking to package them to move up
