2025 NBA Draft Lottery Thread (Rockets get #10 Pick)

Call me crazy. This Ben Saraf kid is growing on me. Maybe a trade back. If we don’t trade this pick I like him. If his 3 ball can match his limited tape on his spot up shooting…he is a top 5 player this draft. Brings us playmaking. Good off the ball. Decent defender. 1/2 versatility.

 

Lebron was gifted Luka and he has the nerve to complain about this?

 

That's basically rigging..

 

Whats the point of the NBA. Silver has to be the dumbest commissioner. He makes his deals so obvious. Its makes me not want to watch the NBA anymore. Might as well watch the WWE.

 

He looks like a decent all around role player at the next level, decent size for a guard, can pass, rebound, get to the line and should become a solid contributor in a rotation. Played overseas earlier in his career, which typically translates. Not a great first step or elite athleticism so not sure if he has any special talent, but at pick 10 many of these guys have weaknesses.

 

What you watch on the court isn't rigged, you still gotta make shots n all that

 

Which is why we won’t get him

 

Just read he's Jason Richarson's son and has NBA bloodlines. I like Jase at 10 right now but still haven't gone in on Kon's game so that may change. He's impactful, solid/good defense, can create, shoot the three and 18 years old.

 

The worst part is that the Spurs now have a very strong package for Giannis to pair with Wemby. If the Bucks are high on this draft and want the 2nd pick they will deal Giannis. We can only offer Jalen Green and multiple firsts in the future.

Adam Silver just f*cks the Rockets from multiple angles every season.

 

Yeah, I think Kon is likely gone by pick 10. But so far I would definitely take him overall in that range from everything I'm seeing.

 

Don't think he's complaining

 

What do you plan on doing with Reed (or Amen)? Also, his combine measurements turned him into a dang midget :

 

Mavs would still get Flagg even with 14th pick.

 

I'm taking BPA at 10, you can always make trades or moves later and having too many talented players is a good problem. Also all these guys have warts at pick 10.

Always take the best talent and rearrange as needed or have insurance for injuries or if you can't pay someone.

If you check my post history I wanted Castle and Sarr last year and then Reed, even though we had Amen who is better than Castle.

 

Aren’t the Suns in cap hell. How much would they really want back for KD. FVV so they can restructure his contract and who else? How much would the #10 affect their cap?

 

I just want someone that can sprint fast and with a high IQ.

 

Magnus literally playing chess

 

FUUUUUUUUUUU*****€#.

Much like when Anthony Davis got gifted to the Lakers and the Pelicans magically received Zion Williamson (whose commitment to the game doesn't match his great talent, alas).

With Anthony Davis in the latter half of his career now, he helps his new team in a similar deal.

Gawd, I only fear Rafael Stone (and his wife) will cling to their perennial pet project player Jalen Green. "He's almost there. All he needs is love and the room to grow."

Mrs Stone, turning to Rafael: "Can you get Kevin back, honey? He's not a bad kid, just needs guidance. His room is still here, just the way he left it."
