2025 NBA Draft

Cooper Flagg makes history. Still not crazy about him going to the Mavs but he will be the face of the NBA like Jerry West was many decades ago! Congrats to this fine young man with the utmost elite talent!

Brooklyn, the most jewish place in America, just double dipped in the kosher pool. First an Israeli jew and then with the next pick an American jew. They’ve cornered the market!

CS you got your wish. Hoping Knueppel does well with Charlotte. He was really impressive last year at Duke. I had no idea he would be as good as he was. Very solid player.

CS will be happy that they added Liam McNeeley too. He fell and was a steal at 29. Charlotte having a great draft so far.

You know it's going to be a long season when out of the box Brooklyn is doing ethnic pandering to boost season ticket sales.

This is nothing for a floundering NYC team as the Mets when they stunk became Los Mets for a few seasons under their former Latino GM...

Kasparas Jakucionis in my honest opinion is one of the most underated players in this draft. So athletic and if he goes to the right team he could become a star. Look at how he excelled at the NBA Combine. So athletic and only 19 years old.​

The Miami Heat drafted him at the Number 20 pick of the first round. The Heat have been better to our guys than any other nba team for
a very long time now! He should fit in good there and can learn from Tyler Herro!

I believe they are talking about the last few guys at the end of the first round that went to the Nets. I look at it different. At least they have white skin so fans won't care about the religion.

I count 8 out of 31 picks being white. They also had a chinese player drafted in the first round. So sadly even though 3 of the first 8 guys were white it went down hill after that but ended a little better.

The most important thing is we had the Number 1 Player and a future superstar that everyone is talking about in Cooper Flagg. Then to
see Kon Knueppel go at 4 was epic. Overall not a bad draft and we still have round 2 tommorow.
 
Good spot for McNeeley! Charlotte becomes a team of interest over night.

Wouldn't you know it. I just caught the tail end of the Knueppel pick and lost TV access as there were storms here last night and lost all cable and internet access. Still having on and off again issues?

Thanks. Great breakdown as usual. Excellent work. I will admit that when we had 3 of the first 8 guys I had a Charlie Brown moment. For once I was thinking we might get between 30 to 35 percent of the draft picks in the first round being our guys. Then that damn Lucy pulled the football away like she does every year. The NBA Draft is very similar to the NFL Draft. There is an obvious amount that they stick to for decades now. But at the end of the day we got the 1st Pick in the First Round. I will take it as that in itself is rare. Then Knueppel going at 4!
