Don’t like Knecht at all. He’s old, entirely duplicative of Vassell, doesn’t have the size to play the three, plays shit defense, and isn’t much of a playmaker. Yes, he can shoot. Yes, he is a 3 level scorer. But the team got torched on the wings defensively. As you point out, they should be able...
Of course (and my original post should have said "top remaining wing", my apologies. But without knowing the Spurs board (and with all due respect to timvp, I don't think he has any insight either and is just stating his opinions on these players - but if we used timvp's board, he has Cody Williams...
You're higher on the guards than I am. I'm not interested in Topic or Sheppard, and I would rather have Matas or Holland over Dilly. Castle isn't too far behind Dilly, but I'm also not sure if he is really a guard or a wing.
That's just some context for my strategy. Billy Beane and I would be on...
It doesn't work if your top wing is Risacher, tbh.
If the French is already taken, it all depends on how the Spurs see Buzellis. If they are high on him, then you take him (even if a guy like Dilly is higher on their board) because it seems like he's the Pistons target. Seeing how 5 to 7 aren't...
Billy Beane rolling in his grave with this scenario of favoring upside over current skill in both picks. Outside of Risacher I view the wings as high risk high reward guys while Dillingham and Sheppard should at the least be high quality 6th or 7th men and have a good shot of being decent starters....
The beauty of the “weak” draft is that leaves us with 8-10 players at least that nobody hardly thinks are much better than the other. But, these are a mixture of the top college and international players. The idea that they won’t be upgrades to our current roster because it’s a “weak” draft is...
Spurs don’t draft like that. They set up a complete board, which this year will be 59 players, and when they’re on the clock, they pick the highest remaining player on their board. You can really outsmart yourself trying shit like that when it may not even be those teams picking in those...
Vassell and Sochan are pretty damn good picks, tbh. The only bad lottery pick from the Spurs has been Primo, and, even then, he might have proved to be a good pick if he hadn't done what he did.
I like Knecht, but I don’t see the Spurs drafting a shorter Doug McDermott when we already have Vassell at the 2 tbh. Could be wrong of course. A lot depends on what we do with that 4th pick. But I’d bet we go best wing available at 4 and then hopefully Dilly or Sheppard at 8.
