Jack (ABOLISH ICE)

Finally, I'm feeling all set with my 2025 Big Board. Could obviously tweak it into oblivion. Order matters within tiers, but I like all the guys in each tier a similar amount. I spent so much time watching full games of all of these players. Let's see how it all turns out.

@fin0cch10 will give you $20 plus shipping to get this to me if it’s not in nyc

?????

@PAKA_FLOCKA Playmaker, definitely. But Darryn is tiers above as a shooter

Something that feels lost in the top-4 discussion. While Cam Boozer is the worst athlete of the top-4, he's easily the best playmaker and shooter of the top-4 as well... as a 6'9" 250 pound power forward that's only 18

@rvadarocket @PenguinHoops honestly elite for any size

@PenguinHoops *whispers* and he passes at a legitimately elite level for his size without dribbling the air out of the ball

Yaxel just doesn’t seem real. #1 option for a tourney team last year, best player on the champion this year. Legit NBA center’s frame, but got the Braden Smith and Bennett Stirtz (????) assignments this year. Every time I have a conversation about him I get higher on him.

Tyler Kolek on my screen playing basketball while wearing Stewies. NEVER KILL YOURSELF

Bro is Ant not even at the game?

Well this was a great take. Shannon Jr taking over in the 4th vs Jamal Murray

Shaq and Kenny at halftime ☠️

the Knicks are leading the Hawks 60-19, which is around the same score the Monstars were leading the Tune Squad by that caused the scoreboard to read "Kinda One Sided Isn't It?"

Transphobic prick doesn’t deserve this. Go to hell old man

Atlanta hasn’t seen this kind of offensive firepower from a northern enemy since General Sherman burned the city to the ground in 1864

This is awesome. I remember scouting Ulrich Chomche’s BAL games and falling in love with Khaman Maluach who I wasn’t even aware of yet. More visibility is great for young talent but even more so the older players who could get real looks in higher comp leagues

@_prezidente @jayw0p I totally agree. I have Swain at 10 but often see him mocked lower. Meleek could fill the Clarkson role and D/rebounding come more naturally to him. I’m also pretty low on Allen, but if other targets are taken he’s a good option there. Older/smart FR who could earn early minutes

@JackDAnder @jayw0p amari i go back forth on. hes' also knicksy in that he's a sorta dribble pass shoot feel guy without much athleticism.

all things being equalish, preferable for the knicks to draft: a. third ball handler (sorry tyler k!) b. third center (sorry ariel h!) c. another archetype

@_prezidente @jayw0p Dailyn Swain, Meleek Thomas, or Amari Allen in the late 1st or Quadir Copeland, Drake Allen, or Tre White in the late 2nd?

@jayw0p oh just a true ball handler above 6-6?that's it? just find one of those guys lying around late in the first? lol

wemby for real does not like idf lmao

@coachnatebdraft so was Brice Sensabaugh 😭

Nesmith was a 6’6 shooter at 215 lbs with a 6’10 WS Was 20.7 yrs old No matter his weaknesses (handle, passing, etc), he at least had an NBA skill w a playoff body (weight & positional size) that could get him important dev reps Future playoff viability was always in the cards

@ruiicist @NileHoops Yeah but he's an elite off-ball/team defender. Makes up for it, imo.

@JackDAnder @NileHoops prob more eye test bc i don't have stats on hand but he isn't as good a perimeter/switch defender imo

Julian Champagnie is the most underrated basketball player in the world right now; his 1-of-1 3PAr/shotmaking/DREB turns Wemby lineups into unbeatable ones, not Fox/Castle. You have to play your best five in the ~30% of minutes of 'solo' Wemby to have a chance

All teams should really prioritize getting players who can dribble, pass, shoot, defend, rebound, & who possessionmaxxxxx & maybe even looksmaxxxxx and who have high feel and low centers of gravity & have crazy impressive shin angles & long wingspans and have positional size and

@NileHoops Surprised you didn't include Alex Karaban. 6'8", 230 lbs, +3 WS. 12% TO with 1.9 A:TO, 54 3PR with 84% FT, 3.3 BLK% with 2.4 DBPM, 6.1 OREB despite poor DREB... seems like a natural choice here.

My Recommendations for the Next Champagnie: Julian's twin Justin Riley Minix Lajae Jones Dailyn Swain (elite 2pt, high TOV version) Kasean Pryor (old, low MIN%/higher variance version)

@mirio26s @NileHoops He doesn't take the 3s

@NileHoops how did graves miss this?

Everyone is better than Jalen Brunson until it's time to be better than Jalen Brunson
