The 2025 draft, a choice of optimistic and puzzled!

After every year's draft, there are always some players who can surprise you, and some players will disappoint you a little. The same is true for this year's 2025 draft. Although it is more likely to be a New Year's draft, there are still many surprises and doubts. Below

, personal evaluations will be given for several players in this year's draft, and the draft pick and team system combination, as well as player skills and maturity will be discussed. Of course, the following content is full of personal subjectivity, and it is not ruled out that future slap times are not ruled out.

Discovered choice

Nets No. 8: Yegor Jamin

As the rookie player with the most disagreement in this draft, he is regarded as a point guard at 206. His rare passing vision at the same height does show an organizational advantage far exceeding his peers. As a player from the European system, Jamin's advantages lie in his offensive and defensive rhythm and game judgment. The ball sense and game reading ability he has developed along the Real Madrid youth training system are indeed difficult to ignore.

Judging from the content of the game, Jamin's passing angle is changeable enough and his shooting is decisive enough. Under a suitable system, he has a chance to become a key transit point for wing series. But the problem is that what the Nets need at this time is to support the core of the backcourt, rather than an auxiliary player with a vague positioning.

Although he has the potential to transform into a big point guard, most of his passes come from simple direct passes rather than opportunities created in the pick-and-roll. Due to the lack of first-step explosive power, the breakthrough route is too monotonous, and the confrontational weakness is also quite obvious.

I was very good at creating misalignment in college, but in the future when the opponent becomes a bigger size and stronger in the defense, it is a question mark whether his offensive threat can still be maintained.

In addition, his defense is also a question mark. Although his body size can be matched to the wings, the problem is that his lateral movement speed and cover ability are not qualified. He is easily shaken away by the first step when facing a faster defender, and may suffer from physical strength when facing a tall wing.

Overall, Jamin's pass advantage is obvious, and choosing him in this position seems to represent the Nets betting that he can become the main point guard, not just the auxiliary wing. If we look at this standard, this ranking is still a little earlier. And if his shooting value cannot be improved and his ball control ability cannot be stabilized under high pressure, then his future positioning will be embarrassing.

Bulls 12th pick: Noah Egerson

It is also a big bet for the Bulls to choose Egerson at the 12th pick.

For this young forward from France, he does have many high-quality conditions: 208-year-old, flexible maneuvering pace and breakthrough skills, and year-round free throws and outside shooting.

This seems to have become the standard condition for lottery shows in recent years. It seems to be flaming with the wings of all-round potential, but due to confrontation or insufficient stability on the outside, it is very easy to eventually develop an all-round forward into an all-round forward.

For Egerson, what he is most looking forward to at the moment is the ball-holding attack. On the offensive end, he can perform difficult endings such as ball-holding layups, long-arm pulling rods, and even air turnover. In addition, he is willing to conduct transmission attributes, so that he can perform high-level deals, so that he will not become a targeted blind spot player in the offensive system.

But his offense relies heavily on the opponent's space to give. Once the opponent makes a shot and does not make a breakthrough, Egerson is very likely to fall into a dilemma. Although three-pointers and free throws are improving, they still do not meet the NBA standards as a space threat overall. If this skill cannot improve smoothly, he will likely be regarded as a target on the offensive end, further limiting his breakthrough transmission opportunity.

Although the defensive end has the conditions for switching defense, it is weak in confrontation. When encountering a power-type inside line, it is easy to have a disadvantage. In the assisted defense rotation, it will occasionally cause the moment of missing out due to excessive predictions. There is still a point of confusion. In order to participate in the NBA draft, Egerson chose to miss the German League Finals, which led to his team being recovered from a 2-1 lead by the opponent.

Although the draft is an important moment in his personal life, such a choice will inevitably make people doubt his professional attitude. Of course, this does not necessarily mean that he is not dedicated, but for a young player who has not proved himself and still needs time to hone his skills, such a choice is worth thinking twice.

Another thing, the Bulls have not received much high-quality returns in the past few years when raising such high-risk and high-paid players. For Egerson, his growth still requires a stable development planning and development environment. If the team does not have enough patience and development resources, then the Bulls are very likely to go astray in the process of transforming talent into immediate combat power.

Of course, as the Bulls' first round pick, maybe they are really ready this time, hoping not to be a high-risk failed draft.

Trail Blazers No. 16: Yang Hansen

It is no exaggeration to say that Yang Hansen should be the most surprising and controversial choice in this draft.

From the perspective of the CBA, Yang Hansen's performance is indeed excellent, averaging 16.2 points, 10 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.7 blocks at the age of 19. Whether it is a low-level single, pick-and-roll transmission or high-level support, he has good ball handling ability. Such skills are quite rare in the CBA, but whether they can be directly brought to the higher intensity NBA arena remains to be tested.

Excellent offensive skills, but slow defensive footwork, and the horizontal movement response to pick-and-roll and the intensity of the confrontation are also a problem. Moreover, his outside threat has not yet stabilized at this stage. His free throw shooting percentage and unstable jump shot performance are not yet able to effectively open up the offensive space. This is ultimately a disadvantage for the center of the modern NBA..

Some players may be able to make a fortune in their rookie year, while others may take several years to slowly craft it, and may even go around and get a chance. Therefore, whether it is a puzzled or a promising choice, whether it can stay in the alliance for a long time depends not only on talent, but more on the choices of their own variables.

Of course, from the perspective of players, I still hope that these young people can find a role that suits them after entering the league and play their best route.
