His form isn't ugly. It just has an odd hitch when he's pushing out which is super easy to fix
Are you developmentally disabled

My top two right now are Castle and Buzelis. Doubt we can get both with the #4 and #8, but I'd take Castle first, probably because I imagine him matching up against SGA in our blooming rivalry with OKC.
Wemby vs Holmgren
Castle vs SGA
... let's go all in and draft Cody Williams at #8 to pit brother vs brother.

I don't see it.
It's a bad draft but no they wouldn't
Someone posted his combine shooting earlier in this thread. When he brings the ball up he brings it way back before the wrist flick
Castle isn't a PG, has subpar shooting ability, subpar playmaking ability, subpar athleticism, is slightly undersized for his position. I really don't get why everyone seems to have a hardon for the guy.
I'd think you probably could get those two if we take Matas #4...there might be a good chance of Castle lasting until #8.
I personally would prefer one of them beeing a shooter though...i.e. Risacher instead of Buz
Link to that post?
He was a PG in HS, and a rather highly regarded one, who had to take a back seat as a freshman in a winning program that runs a motion offense. Pop seems to like the idea of big PGs , so if they draft him they’ll probably give him run at PG.
I would if I could find it
I've been on the Knecht bandwagon for awhile. Primarily because he could start right away and I don't want to develop two more g'damn teenagers that won't have an impact for 2-3 years.
If we get a questionable shooter (pretty much everyone except Dillingham) with #4, then Knecht must be the priority for #8.
I kind of don't want Dillingham anymore, he's ridiculously skilled but the lack of size is just too much. If he's available at #8 take him, but not with #4.
Use #4 for the player with highest ceiling and then #8 for Knecht/Dillingham or someone who they didn't think would drop to #8.
Just to note, here are the high school rankings for 2023:
1 Ron Holland
2 Isaiah Collier
3 Justin Edwards
4 Cody Williams
5 Aaron Bradshaw
6 DJ Wagner
7 Matas Buzelis
8 Ja'Kobe Walter
9 Stephon Castle
14 Jared McCain
21 Rob Dillingham
35 Johnny Furphy
79 Reed Sheppard
Those top Kentucky players really didn't pan out.
I disagree completely. Im fine giving Branham + Wesley some more time to fight and grow, but I will not be at all surprised if theres 10+ players that are clearly better than Branham+Blake this year from this draft.
Again, no slick talk necessary. Edey & Castle not as far fetched as you might think.
Because he's better than Dillingham in every area except 3 pt shooting.
Quick question, would it bother any of you if Okc got Eady?
No.
Rookie Wemby torched Gobert, matched up well against AD and Jokic. Big bodies don't bother him.
It would bother me if OKC replaces Giddey with Markkanen or another elite shooter with size.
If the Spurs thought Sochan could play pg then for sure they will see Castle as a pg.
Dillingham doesn't fit the type of player the Spurs want. They like players who can play defense and like players with versatility.
Castle can play both pg and sg to get his minutes and would be excellent in a three guard rotation.
Ideally every team wants to draft a starter from the top 10 - that's the goal, but like you said, probably not in this rather weak sauce draft. Eventually they might start, but probably not on day 1. If you're a loaded team like Boston, it's no big deal, but if you're a team like the spurs, well we need help pretty much everywhere. Nabbing a starter is what we need, it just may not be what we get even with 2 top 10 picks. This draft has a lot of solid players, I just don't see many stars or all stars. Time will tell.
Doubt Castle ends up lasting until 8. Spurs need to take him at 4 if they want him.
I like Buz more than Risacher. Buz seems mentally tougher and looks bigger and moves with more fluidity.
You are missing the point, Kat isn’t in the same league as Chet defensively.
What does KAT have to do with this?
You asked about Edey. I replied that size doesn't matter when matching up against Wemby.
OKC won't draft a non-shooter. They gave Sengun to Houston just because he can't shoot. Presti is very rigid with his roster building ideas.
