The problem is that we need shooting as much as we need defense. Right now, Wemby's supporting cast is as follows: Elite shooters: none. Very good shooters: Devin. Servicable shooters: Champagnie, Keldon, Tre, Malaki. Bad or non-shooters: everyone else. Elite defenders: none. Very good...

So what you’re basically saying is we giving Atlanta all their picks back plus 8 for Murray … gtfoh

the #8 pick will open some trade scenarios and Spurs will at least consider to go that route. Nets not owning a pick, but with a bag full of needs, would they do #8 plus Keldon for Bridges? (or what would it take? #8, #35, Keldon?)

I take Zach personnaly. Seems more spursy, both in game and attitude. Buz is certainly more flashy, aggressive and of an instinctive player, but I like Risacher's "quiet" versatilty and all around game, playing team ball the right way, with high BBIQ. Batum as a decent comp I believe, Nico maybe...

Why, bc he’s a tall white boy? He’s the opposite of Luka who hated basketball and was basically a lazy bum riding on some basic talent. Matas is a dog, and maybe a little too confident in his abilities to times. Rather be in a position to reign in the latter, than the the other way around tho.

If you can’t argue make stuff up. :tu

Weren’t you the one just screaming about defense in another thread? Because Trae ain’t that.

I would take Knecht at 29 in a heartbeat. Not so much in the lottery.

So we are all agreeing he will probably get convicted of a few misdemeanors on business records but the felonies are probably a stretch too far?

Interesting developments in these POs. Let's see what the future holds.

Here's a view basically NO ONE is talking about. These picks I'm hearing about, would virtually guarantee the Spurs would stay near, or at, the bottom of the league in Defense. Getting old watching every commentator focus on Offense. The Spurs biggest issue was Defense. They had none. This...

My whole point is, you can’t know that. Trades happen, or teams overload at positions. This may all be moot anyway if Risacher falls to 4. I’m sure they’d take him as BPA, and then whatever guard is left at 8. If he’s not there, though, I wouldn’t even pencil in a wing.

Very true. The only reason why I like Dilly more than Topic is bc the dude can shoot. We don’t need a Rubio at the point. But if we think we can teach him then I say go for it

Probably, and I can't predict what they're gonna do, but I'm not sure they're gonna give up on Branham and Wesley that easily, which would be 2 lost picks only after 2 years, even though they were 20s pick... I don't know where both could have been picked this year (maybe lottery) but if spurs...

In fairness, I can’t ever think of a time the spurs have been in this draft situation. I think what you say may be true when they were drafting super late in the draft. My hope and expectation is that they build in a little game theory for this particular situation— e.g., it would be foolish to...

F that. They’re not getting those picks back.

Do you have on opinion of Risacher v. Buzelis if both are there at 4?

I see the Spurs taking Castle or Risacher at 4, trading the 8th & ATL’s picks back for Murray. Then we just need a scrappy back up center that can give other large frontlines problems & to hold it down when Wemby is on the bench

If we're talking lottery, Salaun is the guy who could benefit the most from these last few games remaining in the season if he can pull a few nice outings. I believe scouts have made their minds about Zach and Topic, but the jury is still out for Salaun who remains pretty raw and hard to project.

That’s an opinion, and probably the way you’d draft, but it’s not the way they draft. Been covered many times on his board over the years. Like I said, you don’t know if those teams will be picking in those spots. That’s the reason that pick trades are usually annnounced after the fact, to...

I agree with most of this. Houston and Shepherd makes too much sense. I don’t think they take discount Jabari Parker in Risacher. Dilly with Green, two chuckers, also make little sense. But i can see this as a Clingan home given their recent interest in Steven Adams (I’ve read that elsewhere)....

For fans of Jeremy Woo, RE: Risacher: ”Risacher's weaknesses The primary hole in Risacher's profile at this stage of his career is that he's not an advanced shot-creator nor an exceptional jump-shooter. He plays a bit upright off the dribble and lacks a creative handle attacking defenders in...

Remaining games for overseas top prospects still playing: - Topic: Adriatic league final (BO5) against Partizan Games on 05/13, 05/15, 05/19, 05/21, 05/25 After that he will play Serbian league playoffs in June. - Risacher: French league quarter final (BO3) against Nanterre Games on 05/16,...

Why no one talking about Terrence Shannon best player in the draft?

Agreed. People seem to have it stuck in their heads we keeping this bag of dicks that is this current roster along with the incoming draft picks. As the Spurs build a contender the bulk of them will be long gone

Been replaying Kentucky games and man, does Rob sit for long stretches. I think a lot of it is because of foul trouble and being in foul trouble is usually the mark of a terrible defender. Kawhi, for example, didn’t foul much during his rookie year not because he didn’t play physical defense but...

Buzelis shot 27% from three. He's also a little soft. Moves well and has decent handles for 6'10". But, 27% from 3 and being soft...I dunno. I think 2nd round prospect. I would trade #4 and Keldon as well as mixing in some of the Atlanta picks we have....for Trae. If they want more,...

no one has an idea, what the Hawks are going to do and I think they don't either. I can see them exploring deals around the #1 pick, would be bad business if the didn't. in a theoretically scenario they might try to solve their back court issues and get a win now player. but yes, if they just...

I'm reasonably high on Risacher. I would pick him at #4 but I wouldn't trade significant assets to get #2 to grab him. Risacher is a a smart versatile player who plays the right way. The question about him is whether or not he can be more than that. He is still very young so they're some hope...

Buzelis is the biggest project as s prospect in the draft, not worth top 8 selection, not even lottery selection...
