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

Just to follow up, Jakucionis gets to the line a lot. I know this isn't usually a one-to-one stat from college to the NBA, but he gets to the paint at will.

At the 10th pick in this draft, I would bet on a guy like Jakucionis. He's probably going to fail...just like anyone else left at 10 this year. If his shooting come around, he's a weapon.

 

I'd go for Egor Demin and put him at the 3 to replace Brooks and use Brooks salary for a trade. Based on watching Demin the whole year, he has a pretty good upside with a high floor. Makes pretty good reads and his length makes him have a higher potential as a wing defender + has a pretty good future as a point forward

 

Players taken for "upside" at 10 fail. Players taken to fill a need (like say Coward or CMB) often succeed. Kasparas and Demin are two upside plays in the 10-15 range that have high bust potential.

Im just not sure what Kasparas is supposed to be.

 

I think his lack of defense will keep him off the court and glued to the end of the bench especially with Ime around. Cam will have to buddy up with his new doghouse friend.

 

does anyone expect our 10th pick to play at all? whoever we draft, we might as well chalk it up as a redshirt year

 

No wonder Cowards has a 7’2 wingspan.. he has a very very wide shoulder..

btw, i have a concern with Cowards and Fears..
Do they BRAVE ENOUGH for playing in the NBA??

 

LOL. We need to draft both!!
Epic names usually pan out.

On another note, Toronto needs to draft Knipple (I know, spelling*) and pair with Dick.

 

Coward give Jalen Williams vibes during this draft process
(The scoring wing, not the half-Asian big)

 

More like a Goran Dragic
