With the 2024 class currently in full swing at the NBA Summer League, it’s already time to look towards the 2025 NBA draft class! While this 2024 class is considered weaker (specifically at the top), the 2025 class looks to be filled with high-end talent. In terms of media coverage and expectation, it seems to already be the polar opposite of it’s predecessor.

Gary Trent Jr. will be playing the 2024-25 season with the Milwaukee Bucks. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is reporting that Trent Jr. is joining the team on a one-year deal. The 25-year-old was seen as one of the best free agents remaining prior to being signed today. Since Milwaukee is operating over the second tax apron, they can only offer minimum-salary contracts. It is somewhat surprising that Trent Jr. is accepting that offer, but he will enter free agency again next offseason.

They have had promising seasons go wrong, while also having seasons where they have outdone expectations. That was the story in 2023-24. The Buckeyes decided 25 games into the season that it was time to make a coaching change. So Chris Holtmann who had been at the helm for seven seasons was let go. His run included four NCAA tournament births during his tenure.

When a top three overall recruit in the country signs on to play Kentucky basketball, everyone thinks high draft pick. That wasn’t the case for former blue-chip recruit Justin Edwards. Edwards was on the wrong side of history when he became the first top-three recruit to go undrafted in the 2024 NBA draft. This is even more daunting when considering the 2024 NBA draft class was widely regarded as weak. In Edward’s mind though, all this was a mistake. In an interview with Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Edwards reportedly stated,

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore has been the subject of trade rumors throughout the offseason. A first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Lattimore headlined one of the best draft classes in recent memory. The Ohio State product quickly established himself as one of the best cornerbacks in the game, locking down his side of the field while playing a crucial role in turning New Orleans into a legitimate contender during the final years of Drew Brees’ storied career.

The Los Angeles Chargers cornerbacks went into a state of rebuild this off-season. The J.C. Jackson saga ended in flames as he got traded mid-season. Then Michael Davis, one of the two remaining starters, was allowed to walk this past off-season. That left Asante Samuel Jr and slot corner Ja’Sir Taylor… and not much else. Some new additions were going to have to be made. And while that did happen, questions still remain going into training camp/the preseason. Namely: who is starting opposite Samuel Jr?

June’s full moon two weeks ago [as of this writing] was also in Capricorn. So whatever “ended” for us in June wasn’t over until July.
