2025 NBA draft

If Donnie is a top 15 pick then we likely are a tournament team, even with average guard play. Alot of solid pieces in the 3-5 spot.
 
We need Donnie to go as high as possible! A top 10 recruit needs to show out, be one-and-done and jumpstart our nba draft picks again. Think I saw in kiyan’s thread on, “are kiyan and donnie planning to play together”. It would be a fail on our end if we cant get Donnie drafted well this upcoming year

Exactly this. You get a top 10 guy, you then get him drafted in the first round. Ideally in the lottery.

Helps them, helps us, everyone wins.
 
I understand the sentiment, but my preference would be for Donnie to have a great season then decide to comeback to “gain some weight, get stronger, work on my shot”. That’s a win/win. Cuse gets him for 2 years and we still get the recognition that he did well. And Donnie is more mature when he hits the nba.

As long as he celebrates "One Shining Moment" then we'll be happy to have had him one single year.

Why do we want our freshman player to leave? You can't make up some of the ridiculous takes on here. NBA is trending towards older players 19 year old kids are struggling to hang and make it to second contracts.

My goal is to win the Power Ball. I will use my winnings to pay Syracuse players more money to stay in school than they could make in the NBA if they are potential draft picks (even lottery picks).

Staying an extra year seems to hurt more than it helps most players.
 
The direction of the game would need to change from now until next offseason to see Donnie fall out of the 1st round with his stature. The best we can hope for as a Syracuse fan is that he performs well enough to be an all conference player which would probably land him in the top 10.

For truly gifted guys, that is still a substantial financial loser, as it delays the time to be eligible for extensions, and for the greats, super-max deals.

This account is odd. Mentions Bell then doesn’t have Donnie in his top 60 for the 25 draft while having a number of other guys, right around the same ranking as Donnie as projected lottery. Outside Cooper and VJ there is nothing out there to come to that conclusion with the freshman class.

Then in the thread for top 60 states he is trying to avoid including too many freshmen.. because of how one and dones frequently don’t end up as such.. yet there’s a bunch of hypothetical one and dones on his top 60. Every day I find logic and common sense dwindling… that or just too many “analysts” on the internet.

It’s some kid with 3000 followers and a gmail account. Most X analysts are.

Oh I know - just annoying how much crap is out there compared with stuff that is actually worth the time to read.
