2025 NBA Draft Thread

[SoFla Steve]

It's about time!!!

 

[nomar]

Yay! Charlotte

 

[Mr. French]

I mean I love Liam and think he will be better in the NBA than college, but literally every statistic shows Kon is better. Liam may end up better, but Kon is definitely a better player now and a better prospect at the moment. Let’s be real here.

Yeah I love Liam and think he’s going to be good, and I can’t believe he’s dropped this far.

But Kon is very good and I’d feel more confident in him being a high level starter.

 

[Mets1432]

Glad he ended up going 1st round. Sad he will be on the worst franchise in the NBA. Gl Liam.

 

[auror]

Of course it's Charlotte.

 

[gtcam]

another UConn player goes to Charlotte

 

[Tmac4468]

I will be both so sad and so mad for Liam if he slips to round 2. I would imagine if that info was made clear to him, he would have returned. A massive f up by his agent and team.

Or dishonesty from teams. No mock I saw had him lower than 25.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

And there it is. A Sun.

Nope. Charlotte.

 

[Purple Stein]

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

Now he and Knueppel will fight for minutes in Charlotte.

 

[CTBasketball]

At least 2.7M per year goes a long way in Charlotte.

 

[BGesus4]

No chance Charlotte could pass up screwing over a husky

 

[Dove]

Good luck to Liam!! A 1st rounder!!

Charlotte Hornets.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

Well now he can play against Kon every day in practice and we can figure out if the BY is right on who's better and knows more than the average NBA GM...

 

[nomar]

Love his positive attitude. This is a good spot for him.

 

[husky429]

It's first round so he made the right decision... but oof.

Kon was a better Team Player than Liam.

You haven’t seen housing prices here lately (post-COVID)

 

[Dove]

Wow, he really choked up. Love his heart. He will succeed.

It’s gotta be cheaper than Phoenix!

 

[RuffRuff]

This draft set new record for waterworks? God this gen is soft. If you tuned into the 1995 draft how many draft picks cried?

None of these euros cry.

Kon will get more of a chance early because he's the #4 pick but we'll see how this plays out.

 

[navery12]

Sure Charlotte sucks but he's also competing with guys like Josh Green and Tidjane Salaun for minutes, he's going to play a lot

 

[superjohn]

Kon was a better Team Player than Liam.

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

 

[NCHusky91]

It’s gotta be cheaper than Phoenix!

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

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Of course it's Charlotte.

At least Jordan isn’t making decisions anymore
