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

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.

ESPN's latest mock has the Spurs taking Dillingham at 4 and then Salaun at 8 ive said a bunch of times that to me the disaster version of this draft is one where we dont come away with any of Risacher/Dillingham/Sheppard (risacher appears unlikely enough to begin with), so this is ultimately an...

Okay, but no team says, "well, we lost in the NBA finals, but at least we didn't violate the spirit of the game".

8 would be the ceiling, but until those medicals are scrutinized, I've dropped him to 12 for the time being.

I see the shooting differently. I'm not very worried about it. I expect him to be, at least, an average 3 pt guy if healthy. It's the 'if healthy' part that has me out on him right now.

Topic at 4 would be a horrible conservative pick by the Spurs. High chance he drops to 8 if they really want him. The Spurs have to draft Topic(at 8) at discount with his injury.
