No one is talking about Zach Edey having the strongest feet in the Draft. He has great shoulder twitch, great ball in hand vision, sneaky good elbow structure and solid foundational hip base.
When I think about the Spurs drafting Dillingham at 8 I get scared of his of defense, but then I watch his highlights and I want the Spurs to draft him at 4 haha.
Spurs have all the length and archetypes where his defensive deficiencies wouldn’t be a detriment to the team.

topic with a somewhat consistent 3 point shot (somewhat similar to what Fox is rn) is a 25/6/6 guy. if you’re not buying in on Topic especially when the Wizards don’t have 1 guy on their roster that they can point to and say “we can build around this guy” then youre TRIPPIN
Everyone who passes up on Edey is going to regret it. I get the complaints people have for his game. Slow foot speed (he tested faster than both Sarr and Clingan), no perimeter game (none of Antetokounnpo, Embiid, or Jokic are known for their long range shooting), and the fact that he is a senior (because being 22 is so old apparently), but I think he can over come it.
The Raptors aren't the right spot for Edey. They are a transition team. He can't play in transition. He'd be a boat anchor. He could fit with other teams though.
I don’t see how Dalton Knecht (the best offensive player and the most NBA ready player in this draft) falls outside of the top 10…in a draft full of G-League bound and players who will hardly get off the bench. Dalton may not make it past the Rockets if they draft a guard.
Me too. If you watched Knecht down the stretch you saw a dominant offensive player- ready, locked and loaded. Someone is going to surprise and trade up to get Furphy.
@@goodhair420 With Sochan and Vassell that would immediately make you much better. I would try to pick off Tre Mann from the Hornets too. I’m an OKC freak but really like Wemby and Jeremy. I didn’t think you could build that quickly but it’s possible.
@@charlescohen6140 yeah knecht would instantly be the best shooter on the team. Spurs won’t make the playoffs next year the west is stacked and the 2025 draft class is looking deep so having a lottery pick next year won’t be bad. The season after spurs will make the playoffs no question
You never know during Draft Night. It happens almost every year. Someone we project to go high somehow drops down in the late lottery or right outside it.
I’m really hoping for Topic going at 2 and I’m not even a Wizards fan. I know he has injury problems and he’s not the 3&D guard scouts would salivate over but Topic would give the team an actual identity rather than just stockpiling talent for the sake of stockpiling them.
Chris. Like others have pointed out he was where he was because Dan Hurley wanted him there. They already had a point guard...... He's projected to go in the second round.
Does Topic knee injury drop him to you or is this draft so ambiguous that you feel a team like Washington will take the chance on a redshirt year for someone like topic?
I think it will likely hurt his stock in some team’s eyes. Others with a more long-term vision will probably still be willing to take the risk. I probably land in the latter camp.
How much does Nikola Topic’s partially torn ACL affect the NBA’s upcoming draft? Does he still go in the top 10? Does he stay in the first round? What say my basketball brothers and sisters on the vlog thread?
That’s not true, rookie contracts scale depending on where they’re selected. I meant it in terms of spending the No. 14 pick on Missi has less stakes and might provide better “value” than Clingan at No. 7.
I feel like jwill is already 6’10 and a undersized big i dont think he helps our rebounding, we need an athletic freak to bang with other teams athletic players , holmes or jwill isnt that
First of all...great job...maybe the best of 25 mocks I've seen. 2ndly if Missi or Carrington was to fall to the 2nd round and the Raps could grab one of them there, I would be thrilled.

Very interesting DM ! i don't see Zacc dropping out the top 3 tho, Spurs don't need to take chances and just take Dillingham at 4, Spurs need that abstract offensive push that looks like a dream match with Wemby. and then best available at 8, i actually see Nikola dropping at 8, my homerun draft is Dillingham 4 Castle/Nikola 8 if Zacc is available a 4 i prob would take the risk, but i see better match with RD11
Rockets grabbing Risacher if he falls to #3. You Do Not Draft for Fit in the lottery. And I'll keep repeating that 😂 Reed is still nice But the Rockets believe Amen is a PG. So with that said they need a 3 and D wing
We don't need another wing to we got Bari, Tari, cam, Brooks, and amen at times. I'd pick edey or reed, reed because rockets need a lights out shooter edey is my personal pick because I mean he can stop jokic and help sengun on defense
I love Bari and he is my starting #4 and behind him is Eason who has been out for a awhile now. Brooks at the 3 but I dont see him lasting past his contract. So you really have Cam as a nice backup and potential starter. Amen is a guard In my honest opinion. I'd just prefer more wings who can guard more positions over guards in this modern nba. Go Rockets 🚀 💪

This is a really good mock draft! I respect almost all the decisions made here with good reasoning. Personally I would of went Cody Williams at 10 instead of McCain but I do think McCain is a solid lottery pick now. I see him as he doesn't go by the Kings and I think the Kings would love to have him! Daron Holmes in the lottery though is crazy!!! I love the guy but as a lotto? I respect it but dang. I would of went Dalton Knecht there. I feel a run on older more polished prospects will happen in the middle of this draft. Like I really believe for the Sixers they will go Tristan Da Silva or Kevin McCullars Jr they need guys that can play immediately! They can't wait for guys to develop. Even McCain or Carter could be good for them. Also same thing uhhhh I don't see Collier as a heat guy but Carter definitely is. I see Carter going to the Heat and I have similar feeling for a couple other players in this draft.
People say you shouldn't draft for fit but winning the championship is all about fit. Should the Nuggets, knowing they need perimeter help, draft a center just because he has the highest remaining upside on the board? Upside, mind you, is not tangible. When you acquire talented players that don't fit/mesh with your team vision it throws off chemistry and hinders progress. Everyone must compliment each other's play style and offset each other's weaknesses in order to reach the winners circle. Unless you are prepared to totally scrap your current roster then you had better select players that clarify - not alter - your vision for success. Rebuilding only serves to start the entire process over with different players who have their own set of weaknesses and chemistry demands New coaches with new philosophies and regimens are inevitable. If you decide to do all this around the wrong draft pick it'll set you back at least 5- 10 years and possibly more.

As a Pistons fan, I wouldn't be opposed to drafting Clingan and trading Duren. We need a rim protector and Duren lacks the instincts/effort
Yup they’re taking clingan
@@Justfrank_0 sucks because I like Duren's offensive upside but you need your center to defend
@@vikings-pistons can’t they both play together?
@@Justfrank_0 neither can shoot. We'd probably bench Duren in that case
OKC fan. I’ll take him and Beefstew.
I aint mad with the reed pick but i want edey over clingan someone explaib to me why clingang higher projected
