2025 NBA Draft Thread

[uconngb]

Hindsight 20/20 but def looking that way. There are still a lot of guys on the board that were slated at about his level or even above.

Personally I think the concerns with him are defensively - kid was a road cone.

Have we seen a UConn player drop this hard on draft day? Liam drops to second certainly gonna have an interesting UConn legacy.

Was not hindsight on my part……as you say he can’t defend a mannequin and the injury clearly set him back

 

[uconngb]

well that was the whole point

Say what now?

I'm sorry but Liam just didn't show enough during the past season. I fully appreciate the injury and it did play a big part.
I am not one to say ignore the $ and stay in school. However, NIL $ is pretty damn good for someone of his ability and another full season could have helped him. He is ending up in AK area soon
He is young and has the potential to be very good. I truly wish him the best.

I'll spare you from going down the same rabbit hole I'm digging, but the point was all these great genes are going to waste. We don't get to have a Taurasi Jr or Bird Jr.

It's a national travesty!

Should have reinjured his ankle for the season after the Creighton game

This is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I feel bad for Liam.

You should pivot and focus on Olivia Dunne.

Well, at least Liam isn't crying like Wolf.

No way those kids don't go to LSU.

I have no doubt Livvy and Paul are gonna make superhumans.

3 to go...

 

[storrsroars]

Who is this guy again?

 

[HuskyHawk]

I would be so excited if Boston takes Liam.

 

[UCLJ0211]

Could Liam really slip to the 2nd round? That would be wild

 

[RitzLuce1]

A lot of our fans were very arrogantly dismissed by the 2 bozos who host the UConn spaces for daring to suggest it made sense for him to come back. Most of the games they just flat out ignored Liam's unimpressive performances and effects of the injury (while HAMMERING Karaban for his struggles).

Perhaps if a more honest conversation was had...

 

[upstater]

Hoping my Celts make the right decision. But picks like Walsh makes me think it'll never happen

 

[superjohn]

Kon Knueppel goes #4 and Liam still hasn't been drafted. I don't believe Knueppel is a better basketball player than Liam.

 

[EricLA]

Wasn't a lot of the chatter on here that Liam NEEDED to go to the NBA draft given he was so highly rated coming out of HS, and UConn needed to show they could take 1 and done's and do really well by them? That it actually hurt our recruiting in the long run if he stayed? Or maybe I'm misremembering...

Also didn't Liam spend time at the combine and working out etc. for other teams so they could see what he could show? It's not like his skill level is a mystery...

 

[Purple Stein]

I would be so excited if Boston takes Liam.

It would be wild watching him getting assists from Baylor Scheierman.

 

[upstater]

Wolf's Dad knows that Mom is very willing to take the spotlight away from the kid

 

[RuffRuff]

Well, at least Liam isn't crying like Wolf.

Thought same but I think he got the call he was going next - tears of joy.

I watched the '89 draft. Portland told Cliff Robinson that they would take him with their 1st round pick. They didn't. He was the last player sitting in the green room. By the time Portland drafted him in Round 2, he was back at his hotel room.
