Stupid thread

Nobody should act like Castle will have nothing to contribute to an NBA team because he’s not strong offensively… the guy was just part of a college championship team.

Salaun is starting to feel like this years Coulibaly who went higher and higher up mock drafts as the draft got closer. Mostly based on size and length for his position coupled with flashes of raw skills (athleticism, shooting).

Wemby didn't get All NBA 3rd Team...

lol Joey always delivers!

If there aren’t any players in this draft who have dynamic physical tools or the ability to create havoc… then the alternative to pursue these types is better.

Sochan is a liability. He and Champagnie need to go. You replace just those 2 with average NBA players, and we win 15-20 games more.

blocks/steals are nice, but we've seen very good and even great defenders not generate those stats. the problem is im not convinced sochan does that. he has his games where his impact is obvious but they're somewhat few and far between. usually, he's pretty solid positionally but then lacks the...

All good even at 12 I can recognize a faggit.

Thread i viewed the clip, for the 1st time i might add. Don't see how it relates to Harrison Butkers proclamation about his and his lovely wife Isabelle and the entire US public.

^ Neither does Castle, but leave it to the Spurs to want to build the most unskilled offensive team in the league so that they can prioritize defense with players who lack dynamic physical tools or the ability to create havoc . . . and yet you've got people on board with this nonsense.

exstatic

Re: Sochan the defender The thing is he just doesn't seem to generate a lot of events. Where's the blocks? Where's the steals? Hell, where's the deflections? Per 36 only 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks? Only ranked 93rd in deflections per game, 4th on the Spurs. Worse per 36. Sidenote,...

dont think we'll see eye to eye on this, but the scenario where i wont be too upset about a salaun pick is one where we take a kentucky guard at 4 (assuming risacher wasnt also there) if we get out of this draft with castle and salaun or topic and salaun id consider it an L but who knows, the...

Funny he put topic, matas, edey with whites n not risacher

not sure gobert can roam that easily. both bigs are fantastic lob threats and Luka/kyrie will use them in PnR all game long. Mavs attack 4v3 probably better than any team in the league. I think the main x factor of the series is KAT. if he asserts himself effectively, it's gonna be tough for the...

It's largely a product of mpg/usage. Dig deeper and his efficiency is middling, both scoring and rebounding wise. I don't believe you can build a championship contender him as the centerpiece or have him play a tertiary role considering his inability to space the floor and limitations...

If they think he has best player in the draft type ceiling then they should absolutely take him at 8 tbh. They also have plenty of roster spots/room to give Saluan 2 years to develop if they think he's worth it tbh. If they only had #8 then I'd probably agree with you but #8 is a luxury pick where...

:rollin

Yeah, but if it’s the same podcast I’m thinking of they also said that while his floor is lower than Risacher now, his potential ceiling could be way higher. Not sure if that was more a reflection of him or ZR tho.

If we're only talking about 3pt ability - this certainly projects better than Sochan's college stats did (29.6% 3P%, 58.9% FT%), or Castle and Holland's shooting stats. So, at least in regard to the ability to develop a 3P shot, Salaun projects at least as well as any of those guys did. So I'm less...

The far right (MAGA + Christian nationalists, i.e., the GOP mainstream) is coming for as much as they can grab.

production matters how can you call him low ceiling when he is putting up all star production at age 21? yes, they are a place players can be drawn to. a playmaking big that gets everyone involved is also an attractive aspect of that team

I can live with Castle + Salaun. In my view with these 2024 picks you draft for postional size, bbiq, and coachability. Pick up shooting in free agency, and trade for your next starting PG this or next year.

Tre Jones' parents are mixed too, btw. This thread makes absolutely no sense.

:lmao At counting stats without context in '24. He's a classic high floor/low ceiling player. I get the sense Udoka has some personnel say and he doesn't strike me as his type of player. They also have a lot of assets and are in a market players are drawn too. I'm not saying they'd trade...
