Re: 2025 Rookie Class: First Impressions
I had Reddish's ratings pretty much nailed down from scouting so nothing surprising there. I'm excited for his future

Re: 2025 Rookie Class: First Impressions
Really happy with the Wolves selections. Bazley has huge potential to score from everywhere, rebound, and play sound defense. I'm actually surprised that his current ratings aren't terrible right now, and he will earn some playing time as Cam's backup this year. Nickeil AW looks like a perfect microwave bench scorer, Jamal Crawford-esque with actually passable man to man defense. I'm excited to look through the rest of the class!

THT is still young at 18 so i hope he still has the potentials to be great. Sagaba looks good as well minus the offense.

Re: 2025 Rookie Class: First Impressions
Great job guys, this looks like it will definitely be a fun class.
SGA looks real good and that Nets team is going to be one scary team with SGA and Ayton. Two number one picks, wow. Pistons getting Bowen is unfair and pairing him with Gates means their future is secure.
Fernando looks great and Bowman is so bad defensively it's not funny but it looks like his scoring will completely offset that. A great shooter with what, high 70's scoring potential? Not sure we've ever seen that in the league.
Gafford looks good and the Bucks will be impossible on the boards with he and Carter. We nearly took Bazely and he looks pretty good too, Grant Williams solid as also. Oh yeah, Hayes looks awesome once he gets there. Nice pickup by Indy.
For us, I actually really like our draft seeing the guys now. Samanic looks like he can become a really good all around player, if Howard can be a sniper I really like what he can be and Franks looks to be a perfect 5th type starter/great role player with efficiency who's solid enough defensively.

Re: 2025 Rookie Class: First Impressions
This is why I love working with Kyrus the Mad Scientist. He’s always doing something different and while Mann is a legitimate high potential player, it’s an experiment worth monitoring for us on the draft team to see how raw we can really make these guys and how well these ratings work with each other.Flaming Homer wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 3:57 pmLove it

Re: 2025 Rookie Class: First Impressions
Hack-a-Bruno with that FT rating! But seriously, he’s as advertised and should be an effective scorer and solid defender from Day 1.

Re: 2025 Rookie Class: First Impressions
You knew that was to be expected. A huge training camp could make him a bench player this year for even 6-8 minute stretches to just provide rim protection.TheTwoWallaces wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 10:55 pm Hayes is stupid raw....but man that upside. Time to store him in the d-league and wait

Re: 2025 Rookie Class: First Impressions
Thanks! I can say I certainly enjoyed creating this class. The 2026 Class, not so much...but that was because of my hectic life at the time of creating it.
I agree with everything you said Ryan.
SGA + Ayton =
Bruno Fernando =
My Bowman =
I really liked your draft. While I wouldn’t have drafted Samanic that high, he’s got the the ability to become a strong all-around big. Markus Howard looks to be incredibly solid and while I contemplated him at 12 it would have been far too big of a reach. Still, he should be a nice piece. Robert Franks is going to be a good player and like you said should become a good 5th man.
