Spurs are getting the point guard they want unless we drop below Jazz or Rockets. Both Wizards and Spurs dropping would be the worst outcome. Wizards most likely also want Sarr or Risacher, but they'd maybe take a point guard if those two are taken before their pick. Hornets, Pistons, Blazers,...

we dont want him to perform to well....or he will be gone in top 3 :)

Vassell will shine once we get a real PG. Let him play off the ball so he got more energy on defense. He can then be the scorer with the ball in his hand against benches when Wemby sits. As of now, he's just developing his offensive game. I'm not sure he'll be better than Haliburton though.

The opportunity to truly judge Topic will be in 10 days with the start of the ABA final. This final will likely be between Red Star and Partizan, 2 euroleague teams. If Topic can perform there, it will be for sure impressive.

we gotta draft topic.....If topic can improve his shot,You can have potentially a great duo for the next several years with wemby and topic.He is still young,So can for sure may improve.

I have the same issue.

Hmmmn new coach may factor in. We'll see what Scam Nation comes up with now. New coach, trades Laker style.

Removing the biggest obstacle for #6. Lebron would definitely add to his legacy. FWIW i think Anthony Davis was the diva who got Ham run, not Lebron. Altho Lebron may have been fully on board. You've got to keep a pulse on hair bun DLo. When he's hot, great, ride it. When he's bricking and...

Jimmy is everything Spurs advertise to be, except that he says is out loud. Too bad he's got one more year left and Heat definitely won't let him go for cheap. He'd become Wemby's favorite teammate in no time. But I think he's on decline and not worth it anymore.

:lol

The reason they had problems with him in Minnesota was that they weren't playing hard (KAT, Wiggins) and he wouldn't accept that which is precisely why you would want him if you're trying to learn to contend. Philadelphia was a likewise infested culture, and they decided to cater to Ben Simmons...

Mitchell probably extending wth CLE (Cavs owner is "confident" anyway) and White is shining in BOS, contending in his prime. That leaves us with Markannen who's probablly staying in UTA too (they need that white star).

I guess I should've copy/pasted the entire post. #2888 in this topic. I legit said after that list that this is just for guards and not forwards/bigs that have been doing great. And I also said Luka and Rubio were obvious must pick prospects you can't miss. Jokic and Giannis were both...

Yeah well the Titans also had a shitty QB and shitty offense in general outside of Derrick Henry. Watch, the Niners will move off Deebo and Aiyuk for some younger guys and not skip a beat.

You might be talking PGs, I'm talking about a fallacious reasoning that ends in disaster. But if you want to go for PGs, then how about Tony? Some passed on him because he was from France and surely that meant he couldn't be successful. What was the previous great French PG in the league? Point is,...

Jimmy can be a real locker room cancer too though, look how ugly his exits were from Minnesota and Philly.

You have a "point" here... With in mind that all we guys perorations stay what they are until we know where the spurs actually draft... If they pick #1, I believe they go with Risacher. #2, I'm not sure, prabably Sarr or try to trade down... Lower, they may indeed go with Dilly.

Hezonja was/is a wing and Bogdanovic was a combo guard who has been more of an off guard in the NBA. Not really a Topic guy (at least for the Spurs), but he debatably (Schroder) has more primary creator potential than all but Doncic.

I'm not saying you have to pick a point guard. I'm saying don't hold out for another Luka to take a PG. You wouldn't get him anyways even if there was another one because he'd go #1. Wesley seemed like another well let's draft for size at the PG just like Primo and George Hill and of the three...

Well... maybe it's time they draft an ACTUAL PG to play PG, that should go a long way into ending the failed experiments, don't you think? Personally I think Wemby would love Dillingham.

sorry but that's not true. First of all we're talking PGs here, so Giannis or Jokic are ot of the discussions. And second, long term stats clearly show there are very few foreign PGs who succeeded, even as decent back up in the NBA... Even when they come in their prime like Teodosic and Micic, 2...

I'm going by what tier I would have rated them. I badly wanted Doncic in that draft in exchange for Kawhi to the Kings when he was a teenager who won Euroleague MVP in a league where they hate playing NBA bound teenagers.

But, now it's not really money according to CNN...it's just paper.

If he doesn't fall off a cliff next season I would give Jimmy a 2 year run, he's a pro and an overachiever and as a short term investment probably worth it and movable as a big expiring if it doesn't pan out. I would consider it. A couple players I would add to the list are Alex Caruso and Naz...

My top 3 are really close and I'd be fine with any. Sarr, i don't like the fit, but I can't drop him lower based on bpa there. Ibreally like the Salaun upside, but the downside is more likely than the guys above (who also have upside), at least in my mind.

At the end of the day, they picked all these kids to play PG, and 5 years in (where they picked 9, 11 and 12) still haven't their starter throught the draft, notably passing on guys like Maxey or haliburton these last few years... sure they had Dejounte until up 2022 but still. To such a point...

...max out your deductible and pray on a daily basis.

Luka wasn't projected to go #1 in his draft, Ayton was, so he'd have to be tier #1 if you include Luka (and I think Bagley went #2 so he'd be there too if we include Luka). Remember, tiers are pre-draft. Laka would be there if we were re-ranking after the fact.

I'm pretty sure a lot of franchises followed the same logic when they talked themselves out of Giannis, Jokic or Luka (yes, even he was passed for Ayton and Bagley). Any argument that starts with finding patterns based on where someone was born belongs in the garbage.

And he's preaching all the way to the bank :lmao :lmao :lmao
