2025 NBA Draft Big Board 1.0, Final. this has been a painstaking process of prospect evals the past 6 months, but I really do appreciate all the DraftTwt accounts who've helped give me insight along the way. as always, i'm open to answering ALL questions about my board!!!
Huge thank you to one of my favorite draft guys in the space, @PenguinHoops, for hopping on the show today to talk returners of note in the 2026 class. Apple podcast was being annoying so we’ll be uploading only exclusively on Spotify for now. We talked Stirtz, Ant Rob + more.
2 of the most insightful people i’ve had the pleasure of interacting with on this app—both have aided me immensely in formulating my scouting principles, how i evaluate prospects, and other roster const./coaching phil. a real void of analytics-based pods in bball discourse rn!!
Had a great time chopping it up with @AtTheLevel (back in May, mb🤗) about a bunch of the bigs in the 2025 NBA draft. Also, NEW SHOW! Go shoot me a follow over on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, will be weekly uploads with a variety of guests on Mondays and Thursdays, linked below.
Adou Thiero & Chris Mañon fastbreak scoring this season #soon
OFFICIAL: Lakers sign guard Chris Mañon to a two-way contract.
both prospects are top 5 for me in the 2026 class at the moment and Luc does a great deep dive into both here. please do check out!!
For the second part of my series about the best returners in College Basketball I took a Look at my favourite two: Bennett Stirtz and Jayden Quaintance Link down below and make sure to read it!
Jayden Quaintance is a center and a DREAM nba center at that. tho i know fs that during this whole year’s cycle draft twitter will still refer to him as a power forward for no reason.
Very possible Dalton Knecht still has Nightmares about Chris Manon.
Jared McCain’s rookie shooting tape is off the charts… Ability to square up off of explosive movement and uneven platforms is rare. A+ relocation instincts & understanding of space. Uniquely gifted at transition stop-n-pops from range. Signs of a future defense bending shooter.
spreadsheet FC has such a tendency of overglorifying pure play-finishers that get weeded out offensively in postseason
i'm a former egor demin skeptic. this article documents my transition to believer.
Egor Dëmin was a controversial pick, panned by eye test and analytics communities alike. @100guaranteed believes the tide has shifted too far. This is his case for the Brooklyn Nets' contentious lottery pick. Link below:⤵️
I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us. fatehformayor.com/donate
the cavs really won 64 games this year with two 6’1 guys starting
so glad CMB has been taking threes this summer league—i need that 3pr to be at like 20< for the rookie year i don’t even care if it’s a bad %
genuinely ginormous human being for the athleticism x self-creation he possesses lmao

Anyone watching this Nuggets summer league game?
Just watched some CMB summer league highlights
Daryl please trade the clippers picks for CMB and walk away with VJ & CMB. Thank you.
saw a sign next to the highway on the way to work that said “RAPM closed” and started crying
Israel is a rogue terrorist state that attacks its neighbors' unprovoked while undergoing a genocide against the Palestinians. It's a state run by corrupt mass murderers who are given a blank check by the United States to do as they wish.
Doesn’t seem like it
