2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[Chicagojk]

Portland says hold my beer.

Kasparas Jakucionis is staring at me like crazy.

He'd be the perfect backup behind a guy like DLo/CP3

[SleepingHero]

PORTLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND

WHAT THE HECK

Portland reaching for that Chinese center at #16. They now have 2 young centers with Ayton and Williams blocking their minutes. At least they still are

[SleepingHero]

HANSEN YANG WAS RANKED #42 ON TANKATHON

HANSEN YANG WAS RANKED #42 ON TANKATHON

I really like Yang...30 picks from now.

The first "F" grade of the night on our LIVE draft tracker at @ClutchPoints goes to the Trail Blazers with Hansen Yang.

While he has the talent to contribute down the road as a rebounder and passer, this is the biggest reach we have seen in recent memory.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

Would you trade the Lakers pick for Jako?

I would, I thought he'd be gone by 12.

[SleepingHero]

CRONIN THOUGHT NICO WAS GETTING TOO CLOSE TO THE "WORST GM ON EARTH" AWARD AND SAID "HOLD MY BEER" THIS SUMMER

[omahen]

Minny should take a PG, right? Especially if that Jakucionis is good

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

Kasparas Jakucionis is staring at me like crazy.

By year 2 he'd be better than DLo.
I'd be ecstatic if the Mavs get him.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

I'll admit it. I have no idea who any of these guys are outside Flagg, Harper, and Bailey.

[omahen]

Nope, they took a center  With huge money invested in Gobert and (most likely) Reed. Unless one of them is being traded...

[SleepingHero]

Minny thank you.

Holy what.

Another center? Is Gobert on the move?

That #19 pick from Brooklyn looks SO good to me now. Mavs PLEASE grab it. Take Jaku. Lets ride.

[Mavs2021]

Why all these teams taking centers like there aren´t 50 decent ones in the NBA already?

I´m the Mavs I get me some Traore. Wouldn´t be completely opposed to Jako for his passing prowess.

[Chicagojk]

His highlights look good but so hard to judge these players just on highlights. Sort of fits what minny likes though. They better hope their pick from last year is ready though.

Interesting to see more teams looking to go big..

[SleepingHero]

I feel as if all of these French dudes are going to be massive busts.

All Things Mavs (@All_Things_Mavs)
Kasparas Jakucionis
Walter Clayton Jr.
Nolan Traore


All still available.

Also: Proctor, Jase, and Ben Saraf are on the board too.

There's no trade here, either. The Blazers are keeping Yang, per source.

[omahen]

Good developments for a certain team looking for a center, as most "center hungry" teams in Phoenix and Atlanta got their solutions so far. Portland has overcorwded frontcourt now, perhaps also Minny.
