In the NBA, as long as it is a draft year, then there will inevitably be top stars, James Wade in 03, Curry Harden in 09, Doncic and Alexander in 18, and 2025 is considered a draft year, and many teams have even begun to lay out for this, such as the Nets, they got 3 25-year first-round picks through transactions in the offseason, and the Wizards and Pistons will also fight for high picks, and everyone is competing for high picks, so how good is the talent of this year? Let's take a look at the top five picks in this draft.
Fifth pick Edgecombe
Fans who have watched the Olympics should know this name, he helped the Bahamas win a lot of games in the qualifying rounds, he has two games to cut 20+, Edgecombe's athleticism is very good, and the style of play is very traditional, he is a traditional point back play, top offensive ability and defensive ability, although the ability to handle the ball is not good, but he is too young, this is completely developable, and his explosiveness is still excellent.
Having excellent talent also gives Edgecum the ability to provide output at critical moments, his three-point shooting is good, he is better at breaking through and killing, and he has excellent aerial confrontation ability and coordination, he can let everyone see the traditional quarterback style of play before, very violent, of course, he also has shortcomings, such as limited three-point ability with the ball, and not good handling of the ball, these can be changed in the future, and it is not a big problem.
Fourth in the pick, Traore
It is also a talented player produced in France, France has been producing big man talent and forward line in the past few years, they have been lacking backcourt talent, if the backcourt talent of the France men's basketball team is strong enough, maybe they can really shake the supremacy of the United States men's basketball team. And now they have an excellent backcourt talent, he is Nolan Laure, in the previous U18, he played 45 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists in a single game, and averaged 25 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game in the entire series.
Traore's previous draft pick prediction was the lottery zone, but after a series of outstanding performances, his draft pick prediction directly entered the top five, his ball quotient is very high, which dooms him not to water, and the organizational ability and ball-holding offensive ability are very good, but also able to open up space without the ball, he now plays in the France professional league, already has professional league experience, I believe this will also make him favored by more teams, after all, he is a big point guard, but athleticism is not the top is his shortcoming.
Dylan Harper, the third pick
This father is the starting point guard Ron Harper, the starting point guard of the Bulls after three consecutive championships, it can be said that he has inherited his father's talent very well, and even said that he is even better than his father in terms of technique, 1.96 meters tall to play point guard, the same as Traore, but Harper is better than Traore in terms of independent offensive ability, and Harper's strength is also top, which is also destined for him to have excellent defensive ability, which is simply the perfect cornerstone of the backcourt.
Harper feels a lot like Harden, with a top-level offensive and passing ability, and the draft template given by the scout is also Harden, but compared to Harden, his athleticism is worse than Harden, and he needs to rely more on strength or pick-and-roll to launch an offense, but he is very smart, and he is also good at making fouls and grasping the opponent's shortcomings to target, but Dylan suffered a major knee injury before, which may affect his draft prospects in the future.
Second pick Esberry
Bailey is the only one who may shake the Flagg top position, Bailey is a big wing, 2.06 meters tall, can play multiple positions, and won the MVP with his excellent performance in Curry's training camp, his speed and explosiveness are top-notch, he can hold the ball and kill three-pointers, and he is also very aggressive on the defensive end, his template is considered to be Brother Alphabet or Paul George, in comparison, I think it is more like a letter.
Because his shooting selection is terrible, and his shooting ability is not very outstanding, compared to George, he is more like the letter, in addition, he is the kind of player who can score without shooting ability, similar to the letter, and he is still very young, he may grow taller in the future, it is not impossible to reach the height of the letter, Pele's ceiling looks high, if he develops three points, then the height he reaches is definitely worth looking forward to.
First Flagg
It is estimated that many fans have already heard of this name, as long as nothing else, he locked in next year's champion, in the Olympic sparring team, even if there were Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith, Podzemski These outstanding young players, but there are NBA coaches told reporters that Flagg is the best existence among them, Flagg has a three-point top shot in the sparring team, and has also had a 2+1 deduction.
Because of Flagg's outstanding performance, he is also known as the white-skinned James, Garnett bluntly said that he has super potential, in addition, Flagg's template is Tatum + AK47, his defensive ability is excellent, and he is comprehensive enough, but in comparison, his athleticism is better than Tatum, and the ceiling will be extremely high and the lower limit will be very high in the future, speaking of which, what do you want to say about these 5 players?
