2025 NBA Draft: Hey Ace, be a Demin and plant your Flagg

Ace Bailey will be even better than Cooper Flagg, who will be amazing in his own right.

This draft could rival the 1996 NBA Draft when all is said and done.

It's for sure the best draft we've had since Trae/Luka which is why I'm so excited for it.

If there's a guy who can unseat Cooper Flagg for #1 overall, it's Russian Luka!

Interesting discussion:

Clippers miss the playoffs and the Thunder bink the #1 pick.

Which top prospect fits them best?
I think you could make a case for Flagg, Demin, AND Ace!

You could stagger SGA/Demin and always have a primary distributor on the court at all times.

Flagg would further cement their amazing defense while he could gradually develop his offense to all star levels in the NBA.

And Ace could unlock their offensive potential as a team while making doubling SGA impossible when they share the court.

McMuffin top 3:
1. Ace
2. Flagg
3. Demin

But they’re all razor close…

If your team needs defense, take Flagg.
If your team needs offense, take Bailey.

Draft, set, checkmate.

RIGGED

This isn't the NFL. You don't draft based on need unless you are idiot, especially with the #1 overall pick.

just unreal

Dylan Harper to San Antonio with Wemby is very juicy. Kinda think they'll be a playoff team very soon.

Idk how deep this draft is but the Spurs also have a second lottery pick too .

If they trade for Giannis and he gets hurt, next two seasons, could piss off Wemby and **** with the Spurs Process.

Maybe just keep building internally and organically is the way.

Mavs have said they are drafting Flagg and not trading the #1 pick.

I'm pretty sure every lottery winner since the beginning of time has said this in the immediate aftermath of the lottery. From a leverage standpoint, it makes sense immediately after the lottery to send the message that you love the projected #1 pick, whether you do or not.

I'm not suggesting the Mavs will trade the pick. Most teams don't. But don't think the messaging means anything.

They can probably take Demin with #14 and give him time to develop.

If Spurs want to take Dylan Harper at #2 and not entertain trading for Giannis.

What's the best they could acquire with Stephon Castle + #14 pick (plus salary needed)?

First time watching Baileys highlights, vaguely remember Rutgers from this year. That kid better learn how to go left

There is such a gap between college and the g-league that's tough to evaluate these guys unless they are can't miss types like Cooper and Zion.

he has real BUST potential.

If I had to guess the Sixers are trading #3 pick.

Very suspicious a team with 2 top 5 picks would finish with a losing record. Bailey especially looks pretty clumsy from footage. Super league should show quite a lot on NBA readiness.
