Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
-
Filipowski is NY’s likely other pick because of them losing Hartenstein to free agency and needing to replace him.
-
Wow, another wing before Furphy. At this point, it’s definitely looking like Furphy made the wrong decision at this point.
-
Wild. Hopefully he’s more motivated than ever
-
Real shot Furphy slides out of round 1 now. Minnesota needs a PG to eventually replace Conley, Utah doesn’t need a wing, Denver has Braun, so Boston seems.like the best bet unless someone trades up to Furphy.
-
Terrance Shannon to Minnesota, thought they’d go Kolek to get Conley’s replacement.
-
Happy Shannon went there. What a travesty he went through here
-
Cmon Boston, Aussie is practically Irish!
-
Wollp
-
What a weird draft
-
Weber State and Creighton did well. WTF
-
Maybe he will go undrafted and return for his soph year
-
@approxinfinity - assumed name of Furry Jonphy?
-
No, he would be eligible to return if undrafted
-
Really?
-
Thats what I read
-
Just read it too!
INTERESTING
-
He’s def going in the 2nd round

Time to make up a career threatening injury suffered on Broadway before 4 PM tomorrow
-
Damn, wasn’t he invited to the Green Room??!! Stupid NBA.
-
Kind of shocked actually.
-
Looks like the NBA folks don’t care for a player that completely disappears in the second half. I hope he goes in the second round or really improves if he has to come back. I would hate a repeat of his freshman performance.
-
I’d pull out right now if I’m him. He’s a lottery pick next season no question if he develops. He’s guaranteed nothing as a second round pick.
-
drafted players in the NBA can refuse to play for the team that drafted them
Tell all teams he will refuse to play for them… until next year.

This isn’t possible.

Not how the draft works. Closest he could do to that would be to refuse to sign with whoever drafts him, play a season in the NBL at home, and re-enter next draft. Danny Ferry is the only player to go that route when he flat out refused to play for the Clippers in the early 90’s and spent a season in Italy. This path would have its own risks as well and would not be advisable as next year’s draft is being hyped as a potential all time draft.
-
What’s crazy about Furphy’s slide is because it’s happening for the exact opposite reason Dalton Knecht slid from top 10 lock down to 17. Furphy’s slide is supposedly because of how young and raw he is while Knecht’s slide was because he was too old.
-
@Woodrow I thought he could return idk how it works anymore lol

He could only return if he’s not drafted and met all other eligibility requirements to return. You can’t withdraw from the draft in the middle of the draft, that deadline was about a month ago.
-
Why did they make the draft 2 days? Clearly it was so Johnny Furphy could work behind the scenes to tell all teams not to draft him.
-
Round 2 now underway with Toronto on the clock.
-
Still no Furphy after the first 3 picks in round 2.
-
Tyler Kolek to Portland at 34, who’s being traded to NY.
-
Furphy finally gets selected at 35 going to the San Antonio Spurs.
-
I personally hate that Furphy is in San Antonio because I hate the Spurs, but that’s a great situation for Furphy with a team that’s on the rise with Wemby.
-
Furphy not staying in San Antonio long as the Spurs and Pacers swapped the 35th and 35th picks so Furphy going to Indiana now.
-
that’d be crazy if Furphy and McCullar end up on the Pacers!
-
McCullar would actually be a great fit for the Warriors. May be the only guy on that team to play defense.
-
And as expected, Bronny James goes 55 to the Lakers to play with his dad.
-
And McCullar going 56 to Phoenix who is sending that pick to the Knicks.
-
Just my opinion. Furph should have stayed until he had whiskers on his face. I think Self pushes them out the door too quickly. Furph would have listened to Self to stay but he advised to go. Sometimes I think Self pushes too fast hoping this will increase more top tier recruits to Kansas. It wasn’t a good look for KU yesterday to have Self and Furph stand around and not get picked.
-
Love the fit for Kev in NY. Glad they could interrupt their Bronny coverage to say a couple words about him
-
Good for Kevin to hear his name called I wasn’t a 100% sure he would. @drgnslayr yea the second round can become a G-League purgatory for a career real quick. @Texas-Hawk-10 they only drafted him to keep Bron for a few more years no chance he plays meaningful minutes on a contending team.
-
Some Furphy love
Despite not having a first-round pick, the Pacers landed the No. 5 player in my projections when they moved up one spot to stop Furphy’s slide into the second round. I get why scouts might not have believed Furphy was a lottery talent as my projections suggested, but to see him not go in the first round was legitimately shocking. If Furphy develops as a shooter with size, he’d fit well alongside Pascal Siakam in the Indiana frontcourt.

I’m fully aware of why the Lakers drafted him. In regards to playing meaningful minutes on a contender, are you referring to this upcoming season, or ever because I believe those are two different answers.
I do believe Bronny can be a solid NBA role player in a few years. If it wasn’t for this unique opportunity to play with his dad, he’d still be at USC and would probably be a 3 year player there before making the jump.
Does he have All-Star level talent? I doubt that, but I believe he has the tools and talent to eventually become an NBA starter or 6th man type role. He does genuinely have the talent, work ethic, and attitude to make it in the NBA. It will take time, and he’ll likely spend some time in the G-League this season. It will probably take 2-3 years for him to start coming into his own, but even without his dad, I don’t think him going at the back end of the second round was a huge reach.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I don’t want to throw shade at Bronny. I genuinely hope he runs with this opportunity, he is blessed to be born into the right family. Also not to hate to LeBron I’d do anything for not only my kids but most kids in general. This fell into their lap, let’s see what happens. But I have seen nothing from watching him play sparingly at USC that he is even remotely close to being an NBA caliber player. Yes LeBron is an unbelievably gifted athlete and one of the best to do it but that doesn’t guarantee his son is the same. A couple of Jordan’s kids played CBB too and weren’t drafted have much better numbers than Bronny. He young and will get his shot so congratulations to him but I don’t expect him to turn into anything but a G-league or practice squad guy.

Bronny was coming back from his cardiac arrest less than a year ago, so he was nowhere near 100% last season at USC. When you look at his high school videos against other top HS talent at stuff like the Nike Summit and McDonald’s AA game, Bronny is a more than capable player who deserved his top 25 ranking. As long as he keeps putting in the work, which I’ve never seen anyone claim he has a poor work ethic or sense of entitlement, he’ll be fine and be a serviceable NBA player in 3 years.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 we’ll find out in time either way but several players looked like gods on highschool highlight films. Shoot several Jayhawks even that never made it to the pros or even played meaningful minutes here.
-
I feel empathy for Bronny. His statement fit perfectly… he wants to carve his own path. But who will let him? Unless he ends up being a monster talent like his dad, he’ll always fall in his dad’s shadow. I’m sure he got a free pass in the draft, but it’s not worth it to face the uphill battle ahead of him. I will be pulling for him!
-
I know what some of you are thinking…
-
Man. We had had some kids that are really confused
