2025 NBA Draft Thread

[ToolzieFan]

Some might say it’s too early to discuss the 2025 NBA Draft. That’s reasonable; hopefully they avoid this clearly-titled thread. As mock drafts and big boards are released, I figured it would useful to have a place to share and discuss

No Ceilings has Liam going #7 to Portland and Karaban going #18 to San Antonio. Sign me up for multiple Huskies on the same team!

This is considered a much stronger draft, correct? Alex has had a really good year thus far but it might be hard to sneak into the first round. That #18 prediction seems quite high.

Cling/Liam and Steph/AK combo platters?

Those teams just want winners.

a stronger draft is always in reference to the top, that really has no impact on who is going at the end of the round. nobody really projects the 30th pick in 2024 to be stronger than the 30th pick in 2025, that's usually a crapshoot by then.

It’s a stronger draft than 2024 at the top, but honestly, its strength compared to a typical year has gotten a bit overblown. I’m not sure that anybody from 2024 would be in the top 4 of this draft, but there are plenty of questions after that. I also think 18 is a bit high. It’s not impossible depending on who picks there. It only takes one team to fall in love. It’s also crazy early, especially when trying to project where teams will pick.

For what it’s worth, Sam Vecenie has Karaban 18th on his big board. This doesn’t take team into account.

He also has McNeeley 10th and Ball 91st.

91 for Ball seems a tad too low.

I've been wondering if a team might look at Balls shooting, athletic tools, relative youth, and decide they can work on his defense? He'd be a top 30 prospect for me if his defense came anywhere close to his shooting.

Really hoping for his sake he shows real improvement by years end, there's no reason he shouldn't be a first round prospect with his talent and production this year.

If he were about 6-7 instead of 6-3 then maybe.

Yeah you can’t be 6’3 and the only thing you can do is shoot. No matter how well you can shoot.
