Ace Bailey to the Utah Jazz: youtu.be/M_au_WKkRMY #nbadraft

The Charlotte Hornets select Kon Knueppel with the No. 4 pick of the 2025 #nbadraft: youtu.be/FhHueR2IEgc

The Philadelphia 76ers select VJ Edgecombe with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 #nbadraft: youtu.be/KVZ0I5Uugo4

The San Antonio Spurs draft Dylan Harper at No. 2: youtu.be/FQUXCESRPA0

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: I think that Jase Richardson should be a lottery pick in today's #nbadraft. Here's why: youtu.be/kwZp-rGKFyE

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: 🇱🇹 Kasparas Jakucionis has a case to be considered the best pick-and-roll playmaker in this #nbadraft. I actually prefer him toggling between playing on/off-ball. Here's why I think he can be a top 10 pick: youtu.be/SuJThdLUj24

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: 🇨🇦 Will Riley's dribble/pass/shoot potential is enticing, but his lack of strength and defense makes him a very tricky evaluation. The Illinois prospect is likely to go 15-25 in this #nbadraft, but I think he can return top 10 value. youtu.be/1PkBBVeyTAE

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: Drake Powell's upside hinges on his defensive ability and previous signs of on-ball potential. His season at UNC only hurt his #nbadraft stock, but it showed his floor as an off-ball wing. Early second rounder for me right now. youtu.be/N7Bm6UZWwXY

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: Thomas Sorber should be a first-round #nbadraft lock thanks to his feel, length, and two-way production on the inside. I'm viewing the Georgetown big similarly to Day'Ron Sharpe.

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: 🇨🇳 Hansen Yang will be in the top 10-15 range of my next #nbadraft big board. Here's why! youtu.be/-sy2AXFuGwk

Thomas Sorber with the picture perfect skip out of the post before finishing the play himself #nbadraft

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: VJ Edgecombe’s intersection of elite athleticism, constant two-way production w/ growth over time across multiple levels, on-ball flashes, reliable motor, & high defensive floor make him a top 5 and imo at worst top 10 pick in this #nbadraft class. youtu.be/KVZ0I5Uugo4

Nets GM Sean Marks: "So here's what we're gonna do: disagree and commit. The challenge I have for this group: is this group gonna be the loudest f---ing scouting group I've ever seen? We are to disagree, and we are committed. Let's have that debate." #nbadraft

Written scouting report on BYU and Russia playmaker Egor Demin: floorandceiling.substack.com/p/egor-demin... #nbadraft

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: 🇷🇺 6-foot-9 BYU playmaker Egor Demin is is arguably the best passer in this #nbadraft. I also believe in his shot more than most. But he still has important questions to answer about how he creates space in the half-court and scores on a regular basis. youtu.be/XEWbYRl6R2Y

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: Collin Murray-Boyles is the No. 8 prospect on my #nbadraft big board. Here's why I buy his functional athleticism, two-way connectivity, flashes of on-ball upside, and two years of proven college production. youtu.be/IfZCPy5SQss

🧵 Quick preview thread with some notes on the World team ahead of tonight's Nike Hoop Summit. Plenty of interesting prospects for #nbadraft purposes (2025 and beyond...)

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING! 🇸🇸 Duke and South Sudan center Khaman Maluach is a top 5 prospect in the 2025 #NBADraft for me. I break down his play finishing, the numbers behind his defense, and what his tape at previous levels might mean for his NBA upside.

#nbadraft notes from Arkansas vs. St. John's featuring thoughts on Zuby Ejiofor, RJ Luis, Karter Knox, and Billy Richmond III:

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING! It's March - so I broke down some potential NCAA tournament sleepers: —Bennett Stirtz (Drake) —Sion James (Duke) —Alvaro Folgueiras (Robert Morris) —Milos Uzan (Houston)

🇨🇳 A new guest post from Harry Zhang on FLOOR and CEILING... Tape and words on China and San Francisco Dons sophomore Junjie Wang: floorandceiling.substack.com/p/junjie-wan...

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: Kon Knueppel might be the best shooter in the 2025 #NBADraft, and I also think his pick-and-roll playmaking goes under the radar. However, some questions about his shot diet, self-creation, & defense keep me from projecting the Duke freshman past the lottery.

Good morning! Here's a 20-minute breakdown of what Hugo González 🇪🇸 did a few days ago in two FIBA games with Spain and why I'm ultimately just not very high on the Real Madrid wing... youtu.be/lEstd_CfEjA

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: Derik Queen is one of the most unique and captivating players in this #nbadraft. He’s a 6-9/6-10 playmaker who posts up, faces up, attacks off the bounce, pushes in transition, and creatively playmakes for others.

The Brooklyn #Nets are the NBA's sixth most valuable team, per @CNBC's team valuations. I spoke to their senior sports reporter Michael Ozanian to better understand Brooklyn's ranking, the importance of arena economics, the NBA's media rights deal, and a possible team in Las Vegas...

Written notes on Jeremiah Fears: #nbadraft

From today, what I'm watching for from each #Nets player until the end of the season, including how Noah Clowney attacks closeouts, Keon Johnson's recent production, Tosan Evbuomwan's shot distribution, and Dariq Whitehead's development: www.si.com/nba/nets/new...

Could Cooper Flagg stay in college? I mean, sure, but it won't happen. It would be a genuinely unprecedented decision. The No. 1 pick in this year's #nbadraft will make $11.5 million as a rookie.

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: Jeremiah Fears is a high-usage pick-and-roll playmaker who needs to improve his efficiency at the rim, as a shooter, and as a passer despite his self-creation flashes. The Oklahoma freshman reclassified into this college class and doesn't turn 19 until October. #nbadraft

Colorado soph Bangot Dak looks like a 2026 first rounder. 9.3 BLK% bc of legit ground coverage, timing, motor, length+pop, & also improvement. Had an 8blk game in Jan. Easy fit in transition+finishing plays. 10/30 3P, 68 FT% - but has flashed attacking closeouts. 67% at-rim w/ 21 dunks, 0.7 A/TO rn

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: Georgia freshman Asa Newell looks like a potential top 10 pick. He's going to be a two-way play finisher - but what can he add as a three-point shooter and decision maker? #NBADraft youtu.be/YWVLQZbGea8

Sequences like this one are why I believe Alex Karaban can be a really solid role player in the NBA

2025 NBA Draft: Kam Jones Scouting Report open.substack.com/pub/floorand...

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: 🇦🇺 Alex Toohey is a solid bet in the early second round to be a productive off-ball wing who can make decisions off the catch and has guarded multiple positions in the #NBL. Now, he needs to become a more consistent and versatile three-point shooter. youtu.be/HJMkEFRuGs4

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: An initial look at four international prospects I'm tracking for the 2025 #NBADraft: —Bogoljub Marković (Mega / 🇷🇸) —Sergio de Larrea (Valencia / 🇪🇸) —Michael Ružić (Joventut / 🇭🇷) —Johann Grünloh (Rasta Vechta / 🇩🇪) youtu.be/yJ3NsjuqGeI

ICYMI—

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: With the college basketball season in full swing, here are some thoughts on five of my favorite freshmen and their #NBADraft potential. —Jeremiah Fears —Jase Richardson —Thomas Sorber —Joson Sanon —Jacob Cofie youtu.be/1Tl0EagsO5M

6/3/2 with 1 steal and 4(!) blocks in the first half for St. John’s Zuby Ejiofor. I really like the energy and physicality he plays with. Crashes the boards hard, makes contact on every screen. Makes up for being undersized. Must be a handful to play against.

In Queens for St. John's vs. DePaul. Taking another live look at potential second rounder RJ Luis Jr. Zuby Ejiofor and Aaron Scott would interest NBA teams if they declared, although probably outside the draft. Ruben Prey 🇵🇹 of longer term interest.

I was particularly impressed by 2026 LuHi guard Dylan Mingo (#5), who looked like a future consensus 5⭐ with his positional tools after a recent growth spurt, on-ball fluidity, and shooting upside. Great test for him against Link Academy at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET in Vegas tonight.

🚨 NEW ON THE FLOOR AND CEILING SUBSTACK 🚨 I was live at the LuHi Holiday Invitational to evaluate Dylan Mingo, Kayden Mingo, Nigel James, Chris Nwuli, and Maxi Adams. Here are my notes on the LuHi and Sierra Canyon prospects. Subscribe for more!

#BYU fans, I've got you covered on your AJ DYBANTSA needs. He's a special talent. The new Cougars wing is my current no. 1 prospect for the 2026 #NBADraft: youtu.be/fZcvJvlbiD8

🏀🔮 NEW FLOOR AND CEILING: With the college basketball season in full swing, I break down five college returners I'm enjoying and assess their 2025 #NBADraft outlook. —Adou Thiero —Rasheer Fleming —Ryan Kalkbrenner —Maxime Raynaud 🇫🇷 —Baba Miller 🇪🇸

I watched BYU vs. Providence this morning and Egor Demin was not *that* bad despite the 0/10 FG imo He was timid getting downhill, maybe because of knee issues, but he spaced the floor well, drew fouls, and created threes for others while missing a couple of good looks himself. Also got some stops.

🚨 NEW 2025 #NBADraft BIG BOARD UPDATE 🚨 With the start of December, I've updated my big board - and expanded it to a TOP 50 as of now. This is still very fluid so early on and a way to begin organizing players. Let me know your thoughts! floorandceiling.substack.com/p/2025-nba-d...

Rutgers freshman Dylan Harper has been playing like *a* number one pick. I'm not saying he's at the top of my 2025 #NBADraft big board - Cooper Flagg still is - but Dylan's games vs. Notre Dame and Alabama were truly spectacular. I break down the tape here: youtu.be/NvpPfKKxyeY
