salaun is not in my top 10, and i wouldnt be a big fan of taking him at 8. but if its paired with a dillingham/sheppard pick i'll take that outcome

I‘m not very high on their mock and also don‘t like the logic and reasoning they use, not only regarding the Spurs. But I wouldn‘t rule out the option that the Spurs will pick Salaun. Spurs might go the save route with Castle at 4 and take the flier at 8. btw. he played his last game in France...

I wonder what type of pick Sochan would get you in this draft? Since it's a weak draft, could somebody in the top 10 trade their pick for him?

The thought exercise here is what do you do, defensively,when you’re up 3. My suggestion is that you either always foul,or never foul. The assumption is that you’ll shoot a 3 ball. The only way to change the play is to NOT shoot a 3 ball,and ima let you do that.

Sochan was drafted for his defense. But agree he isn't a strong defender. Spurs missed on Sochan

Don't see HOU taking Clingan honestly, unless they plan on trading Sengun (doubtful). Playing them together would draw Sengun away from the basket in PnR, which is the last thing HOU wants. He already struggles at the 5 as is. They would then have 2 guys who don't excel against PnR on the floor at...

Yes, really. We know Risacher has no self-creation skills whatsoever. He fully depends on others getting him the ball. You have two chuckers. You have two pretty good facilitators in Jones and Deni. But you already have one sharpshooter, as I say, who is probably as good as Risacher will ever...

Portland (with Mike Schmitz) goes for upside, not fit. They probably take a Holland, Buzelis, Cody Williams or even Salaun.

Besides Victor, we haven't drafted anybody who can play defense...

I don't see Reed making it past Charlotte tbh. They're reportedly high on him and he'd form a nice backcourt pairing with LaMelo. Blazers also desperately need shooting, but I have them taking Knecht at 7 as they need a SF and not a SG, which would create log-jam with Scoot and Simons. Unless...

Marcus Smart is 30 years old with only 2 years left on his deal. He doesn't fit the timeline at all. Would make no sense for us, especially if we take Castle at 4. Hard pass.

In the highlights there is highlight of him sinking a three. I’m not saying he’s a three point shooter but he had beautiful form. I think he could develop a shot. Would have to check his free throw percentage. What I like most about him is his BBIQ. He’s not just a dumb big. He has a bit of Bill...

Having said that what are your thoughts on this Memphis/Spurs trade? I assume we would pick Tiddy or Cody at 9.

Naz and KAT are both 40% 3 point shooters, and Naz is an incredibly mobile defender i dont disagree that Houston could go Clingan, im just sayin thats not the good argument for it. my thing with the Houston/Clingan fit is that they also traded for Steven Adams, unless they are writing him off ...

And he still costs us because opposing teams don't respect his shot. Which goes to show you that even with improvement, these non-shooters seldom become non-liabilities, tbh.

I don’t think it’s even that complicated. Seems to be just analysts guessing and throwing spaghetti against the wall.

Sarr- I'll give you that, but he'll be gone before we pick Castle- He's the tip backcourt defender Saluan- You can really call him a top defender yet Williams- plays D and can shoot, but has shown elite capabilities in either spot yet Holland- I'll give you Holland Matas- I don't think you...

I made the mistake of watching some Donovan Clingan tourny highlights. Knowing Ume loves D so much, I don’t think there’s any way in hell they pass on him. At the end of the day he is a weapon they just don’t have, he might just be the missing piece to get them in the playoffs. If Naz, Gobert & CAT...

They too are as crooked as a dog's hind leg.

And somehow almost everyone on the roster except Wemby is an awful defender. They passed on Jovic with not one, but two pick. A year before that everyone expected Sengun pick, didn't happen.

I am out on him for our two picks right now. That could change based on medical reviews, but I'm not risking a pick on him based on where things stand right now.

Disagree. Defenders with no jumper: Sarr Castle Saluan Williams Holland Matas

yes, if anyone has been following the Spurs fo they like to draft players who can play defense even if they need work on 3 pt shooting. Castle fits exactly how they like to draft outside he isn't a foreign player. The Spurs value versatility, players who can play a couple of different positions....

taking castle at 4 as the sole solution to the PG position would already trigger my primo PTSD if Sheppard is preferable to Dillingham i'd be fine with that too

Go bless Iran God bless that beautiful land Jews and mslims marching together giving farewell to the GOAT :tu https://x.com/EvaKBartlett/status/1793140488385470941

I want Putin to beat this bastard. & I want it bad. Real bad.

It's a stupid board, I really like Dillingham but I seriously doubt the Spurs would take him at 8, let alone 4. The way things are shaping up, the most likely option at 4 is Castle, BY FAR. Dillingham would probably also be available at 8, yet sadly I believe the Spurs will pass for a Salaun type,...

i mean... i agree. ive said a couple of times already that fouling is the smart and correct move. i just dont like that it is the case, to the point that i'd probably be in favor of exploring a rule change of sorts, though im not sure how that would even work.

So you are out on Topic for the Spurs. Spurs are most likely going to keep 4 and 8. Spurs have to be smart and have the fortitude and strenght to not draft Topic at 4 even if they want him.
