a lot of people got confidence in Flagg and he hasn't played a single college game yet. It's not hard to look like a monster against a bunch of 6 foot high schoolers. If Popovich decides to have another losing season with 2 lottery picks and wemby says, "get me the fuck out of here. Trade me now",...
Am I missing something with the Rockets?
They've got Jabari, Amen, Eason and Whitmore on the wings, do they really need another one?
To me it looks like a perfect scenario to pick a point guard, with FVV being a short-term solution.
Ya - if Dillingham is the target, then looks like you have to survive WAS. No way ATL does that if they have Trae and/or DJ still. WAS could easily do it as they will just take BPA and need guards too.
HOU like you said doesnt seem likely but I wouldn’t be surprised either since they draft for...
My best guess is that teams will rely more heavily on the combine and individual workouts than on current scouting.
I bet a few teams fall in love with a player that is way out of mock draft alignment.
Spurs are in a great position to trade up, down or out of the draft this season if they don't...
It doesn’t matter if they purposely tank or not. We have a bottom 2 roster in the West. Detroit and Washington and Charlotte will suck again next year. The wild card is Toronto. So that puts us in the 6-7 range next year in the draft.
Nothing really changes next year. Our coaching is the same....
Ugh if Washington takes Dilly that really fucks us since then Houston would surely take Risacher. While if Washington takes Risacher I'm thinking Houston takes Sheppard. Can't see any way Houston takes Dillingham when they have Amen at PG and Sheppard would probably be way better off the ball.
Yeah, but none of these guards is a must have prospect.
Topic can't shoot or defend, Dillingham doesn't have NBA body and is an even worse defender. Castle can't shoot at all. Sheppard isn't an actual point guard who can run an offense.
Scoot was a way better prospect and struggled a lot.
If...
Sheppard is more a Stockton type, while Dillingham is more an Iverson type. I always preferred the stockton, team first, style. But Iverson was a monster. Wouldn't be unhappy with either.
Not as impressed with Risacher as most here. Prefer a Clingham type, especially if we get Dillingham. ...
I was pessimistic thinking we’d just get a low pick and Toronto wouldn’t convey. This is basically as close to best case scenario as the odds could have gone. Now it’s in Brian Wrongs hands
yeah
nine years in and he has witnessed crime after crime after rape, after fraud, after lies, after coup, after treason,
and he is now ….”well…im not really understanding…why my cult leader is being mistreated like this…”
Great day for Spurs overall. A very nice win for Wright locking in pick 8 for Jakob.
Spurs should be able to move around now in the draft if they need too, but it’s setting up for a Dillingham + one of Reed/Cody/Castle/Holland draft IF Dillingham can survive the first 3 picks
This is a fair argument but the counter argument is that when you suck you don’t draft out of need. You go with the best prospect and work out the roster logistics later.
Last year, once the first 3 balls had been picked, 6 of the remaining 11 would have sent Victor to the Wizards. Only 1 of those 11 balls would give the Spurs the #1 pick and sure enough it came up.
Having big numbers like 10 and 14 makes it much more likely that teams lower in the lottery order...
Since lottery was a big shakeup, things change.
Cade, Lamelo, Scoot are cornerstones of three franchises picking after our 4th pick. No way they're taking Dillingham when they need help on every other position.
Either Wizards/Rockets take Dillingham or he falls to #8 for us.
We got to get a...
