2025 NBA Draft Thread

At least Jordan isn’t making decisions anymore

Jordan’s got one of the nicer Viking sport fishes out there. Wins tuna tournaments all over the eastern seaboard.

Poor Liam being drafted by that dead end for UConn Huskies. He should have stayed another year and really made it to lottery status.

 

[storrsroars]

Great. As if Penn State alumni weren't obnoxious enough already, now they'll think they can play basketball.

 

[superjohn]

Maybe, but it’s no longer cheap. $300/sf for a 25-year old cookie cutter on 1/5 acre (my house)

I was just talking about Charlotte with my buddy. His cousin pays way too much to live in something called a double or something like that. It's considered a single family home but he shares a wall and a roof with another single family home.

A duplex? You don't have those in Chicago?

When I did my stint up at Osborn we’d call those country club cabins.

In before @storrsroars says something about mcneeley's mom

Hornets franchise actually isn’t as horribly horrible as they were. At least Kemba is involved in the franchise.

 

[RuffRuff]

Kon was asked to play the perfect role for him. Liam was asked to do too much because of roster construction.

So we’re saying we know more here than all GMs and draft analysts?

Nah we don’t. Take the blinders off. GN.

Nope, its not a condo or a duplex.

You think all the picks who are taken high are better than all the picks who are taken low and GM's don't blow it all the time?

The best player for the last 5 years in the NBA was drafted #41 during a taco bell commercial.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Charlotte is the dumpster fire, dumpster fires dread becoming.

She had her eggs fertilized into a 1st rnd pick like a good American woman!

relax, it's humor

 

[Sachems]

At least he’s a first rounder, yall putting him out for dead. charlotte got a whole new front office. Let’s see how this plays out

It’s usually quite accurate. You should compare the NBA careers of all #4 picks vs all #29 picks and see what stands out.

So the truly important question now seems to be will Liam have to settle for a condo in the Charlotte real estate market because he slipped to late 1st round? Kon can clearly afford a nicer house

 

[superjohn]

Interesting...

 

[storrsroars]

A duet, which is basically a two-unit condo, or a duplex where each unit has a separate owner. Semantics.

 

[ToolzieFan]

I definitely heard that he played through an illness on one of the many podcasts I listened to in the last few weeks. I think he is going to end up looking like a steal.

Or I can just look at all those #1 studs Anthony Bennett, Markelle Fultz, Michael Olowokandi, Ben Simmons, Andrea Bargnani, Kwame...who had better careers than everyone in their drafts.

I think it's called a paired home.

 

[husky429]

He's going to dominate and get a huge second contract. No concern at all for Liam long term

 

[dalydosehoops]

McNeeley becomes UConn’s fifth No. 1 pick in last three years, will begin NBA career with Hornets

Liam McNeeley caps off lone season at UConn with first-round NBA selection. Drafted by Phoenix Suns, McNeeley was traded to Charlotte Hornet...

@John it's always funny how you're constantly deleting your responses to me when you find out you're wrong.

Now you’re just gaslighting.

If Kon played for UConn and Liam Duke you wouldn’t be saying this stuff. Liam will be good, Kon deserved his draft spot and was significantly better than Liam in College. It’s okay.
