2025 NBA Draft Thread

[CardiacAndre7]

must have missed it cause I didn't see a clean dap

When he was running in the hallway. Very clean.

McNeeley is going to sign for about 5.5 million guaranteed and people think he should’ve come back? Lol.

It depends on what his goals are. If it is to get paid $5 million then he made the right choice. If it is to become a better player and possibly a lottery pick and be a memorable Husky to boot, than he didn’t. One problem with one & done players is they really leave no legacy. 2-4 years you’ll be remembered as a great one. Probably 3 is the sweet spot for that.

I think it’s fine. He’ll make money. Maybe he will develop into a great one. More likely a pretty good player.

Indy is a good landing spot for Kam Jones, with Haliburton out for the year he's got a chance to earn minutes there.

 

[Lafayette]

Proctor could barely be called a PG. Kid averaged 2 assists a game. He was a shooting guard forced to play PG.

My bad if I thought I was replying about Liam would have had a season if we had a 6’5” steady PG (like Newton)

 

[UCFan1513]

Cooley had a lottery pick and a high second rounder and he STILL got nowhere close to the tournament

 

[MJ1]

Kalk to Hornets.

Are we sure that the Hornets have turned a corner under new leadership?

I told myself that whoever drafted Kalk would show they are incompetent.

Kalk had UConn’s number though.

Hornets just traded their center so they needed one back. Preferably one that’s a lob threat for Melo and can lock down the paint considering they have several bad perimeter defenders. Probably don’t want to look towards the 2nd round of the draft to fill a key need, but he was the best option available for them. Good pick

May I ask who BJC42 is - is it a bot or a human? His ability to like messages instantly is nothing short of a message board miracle.

 

[BlueJayFan]

Pretty sure he’s a Creighton fan. BJC is the acronym for BluejayCafe, which is our message board from 15 years ago that blew up in a huge fight.

He’s probably hanging out here to see BE related draft talk, since our board is way slower and generally MIA in the summer.

And he hasn’t even spiked a like for you yet, give it one minute.

Proctor dropping like a rock - can’t say I’m surprised. Not sure why he didn’t just take a fat NIL deal.

He went to a good spot with Cleveland, where he will play with more spacing.

 

[Scoe]

2 way guys not being playoff eligible is crap, and so is the 2nd apron.

 

[superjohn]

Now he can take the Brady chip on the shoulder and turn it into something. I don’t sense he was a kid hurting for money to begin with. Take the chip and turn it into a great NBA career.

None of these kids are hurting for money.

 

[HooperScooper]

Givony was on the ESPN broadcast last night. Watching that was better than watching ABC. Givony, Bilas, and Bobby Marks were all fine. Kendrick Perkins really doesn't know much.

Some of the better NBA podcasts go live during the draft. I was tuning in to Game Theory with Sam Vecenie, and No Ceilings went live as well. They definitely know the prospects better and are able to give more in-depth analysis. At the same time, I like watching the kids walk across the stage and get interviewed with their family.

Yeah I just came on here to say he was on tonight. Maybe ESPN needs to use him more during the draft. He certainly knows more about the drafted players than anyone on the set.

See what you miss when you're MIA during the offseason.

OT: - The @bjc42 effect.

Have you ever looked up at your notification bell, saw about 25 red alerts, thinking your last post must've really resonated- only to find @bjc42 went back and thumbs-upped all your posts from a month ago- like a dude on IG trying to get some play from his ex.

Lol - dude keeps the warm and fuzzies going. Just when you think you make a dumb post, he……

Word on the street is that he went there because they are going to guarantee him a roster spot. Most teams in that range will offer guys two-way contracts, but the Cavs need a cheap bench option. I’m guessing they won’t bring back Ty Jerome. Agents were working to get their players to the Cavs there.

 

[ToolzieFan]

This guy really screwed up. He would have made more in NIL.

Would be a fun theory, but I haven't been on message boards that long

 

[champs99and04]

My impression is that he didn't have any interest in playing for another school and Pitino had already given away his spot.

 

[Shamon30]

Hopefully we'll hear about Samson Johnson at least getting an exhibit 10 with someone soon

 

[ToolzieFan]

I’ll be rooting hard for him!

 

[REB1094]

This is a great graphic to show people if there’s ever any debate on players capitalizing on high draft stock early vs staying in school a few more years

 

[Samoo]

That is the trade, the Chinese guy is going to Portland in the head-scratcher of the decade

Portland picked up an unprotected first (Orlando 2028) and two seconds to move down 5 spots, so the actual trade was excellent. It's what they did at 16 that has many scratching their heads.
