OT: NBA Rookie Class

[RUChet]

Knuepel and Flagg will end up averaging at least 20ppg

Harper has a shot too but with fewer minutes probably not

all 3 future all stars as is Derek queen down the road

Been impressed with the 2025 NBA rooks. A million percent better than last year which was really an awful draft class.

Flagg will be all nba in a few years. People forget he’s supposed to be a college freshman and he just set the record for youngest each to get 35 pts and also 11 assists. He already plays good defense and just needs to improve his 3pt shot- just like Doncic did, MJ and LBJ did, Kobe did.

Harper was playing really well before his injury and looks good since his return. He will be an nba all star down the line. Has all the tools.

Ace is getting better and better and is also very young. I expect a huge jump next season for him but would like to see him settle in as a SF and not SG.

Queen looks like an old school center that can also handle and shoot from deep. He’s going to be quite good.

Kon may be the best shooter in the nba after Steph. And he’s putting up way better stats than Curry in his rookie year.

And there are others doing well up and down the rookie class.

And what is scary is many are saying the 2026 draft will be even better than 2025.

Lots of young talent coming up.

Alex Sarr from the 24 class is very good. Not sure about the guy Risacher who went before him in the draft.

Stephon Castle is turning into a very good two way player, and Reed Sheppard is getting a lot more PT this year and is looking like a player.

Agree Sarr and Shepard are good but they are in year 2. Imagine how good Flagg, Edgecombe, Harper, Howard, Queen and Ace will be next year?
