2025 NBA Draft Thread
- Status
I love of the 5 B10 guys selected so far and 2 are Illini. 0 SCUM, 0 MSU, 0 IU, 0 Iowa, 0 Wisconsin, 0 UCLA ECT...AND 0 Purdue and I know Purdue is preseason #1 for many but I don't see many 1st rounders for them next season either. Brad Underwood has us trending towards more talent, a developmental destination towards the NBA for young players and a title.
Gotta change it already...too late for an "edit"?

What a great situation it is for KJ to go to the Heat. Feel like he needed to go into an environment with established talent, stability, and a track record. Washington would’ve been a poor situation by comparison (too bad Will went there) Miami checks those boxes though, and I feel like they could really benefit from KJ’s playmaking ability and his elite skill at initiating out of the pick and roll.
Wishing the best for both. Loved rooting for these young men all year. Seem like humble high character guys. Easy to cheer for.
Congrats KJ and Will
Go Illini!

There will be other pieces involved, it won't be a one-for-one swap
And with that, all first wave invitees got drafted in the first round, so that's still a guarantee.
Oklahoma City sending #24 pick to Sacramento.
It isn't 1-for-1. Wizards also get 2nd round pick tomorrow and 2nd round picks in 2031 and 2032.
And Egor Demin.
Those who say he did not shoot the 3 particularly well did not watch him play in 2024. He did struggle after the arm injury, but not a thing wrong with his shot mechanics or his confidence in taking big shots. Once hoops drills fill his daily routine, he can become an elite shooter. 33% is not bad for a B1G frosh, but my expectations are closer to 40 in about 3 years.
With the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic select Jase Richardson, G, Michigan State.
Put in Ubben.
Liam and Danny last two invitees waiting. Last year two guys weren't called Day 1 either, but still some picks left.
Clearly I am biased - but I have no idea how you pick a small guard, who’s an inefficient scorer, and probably the worst defender in the draft over KJ. It is almost impossible to win big with them.
I swear some of these GM’s don’t follow the trends of their own league sometimes.

Damn, Danny Wolf looking really upset right now.
I don't like Michigan but I don't wish this on anyone.
Edit: and like that he's drafted
With the 27th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets select Danny Wolf, F, Michigan.
He didn't have much longer to wait, looks to be pretty relieved now.
