I'll take Buz and Topic this year
I haven't seen enough of him, but do you think Castle/Vassell guard duo could work? With a couple of traditional wings that aren't point forwards?
I wouldn't pick him if he can't solve our point guard issues. Doesn't have to be a floor general, just competent enough as a primary ballhandler.
I'll take Buz and Topic this year
Have a feeling Spurs will go with Topic #4 and Salaun #8
i feel that the high reward phrase, gets overused a lot... like he's not athletic, he's never going to be, it's not a big gamble like drafting andre drummond
Ausar is a ball-handler with great defense, he's not the same template here. Murray was much more productive and well-rounded. Risacher, they're saying, can't even attack close-outs.
That would be like not having a draft at all.
this is the time of the year where spurstalk falls in love with a guy who plays defense, but can't shoot. Happens every year. Last year it was Anthony Black.
Buzelis is particularly hard to predict for me. He seems affable, skilled. But he has a reputation for low motor that he is trying to convince people it isn't true. Maybe it's not true. But Castle, in contrast, feels like an adult already. Interviews/workouts will be crucial I imagine. He seems like a classic Spur in that he's skilled and not a head case. But I'm still hesitant.
I thought this guy was already in the league? How many Toppin Bros are there tbh
Topic is gonna spend more time with NBA medical teams than on the court during his workouts. No one is burning a high pick on him without knowing the actual state of his knee. First out for 4 months, then out again after 2 weeks... Don't wish him bad, but when it starts like that, that not always ends well... Even in doubt, teams wiil pass, I believe.
He’s not related to the other Toppins somehow.
Hoping Wash takes him at 2 because the Spurs will be tempted to take him at 4 when they will likely still get him at 8.
Topic was my guy heading into this draft (i think his shooting will come along) but this latest knee injury leaves me out on him tbh. Maybe if you trade down from 8 to late lottery but absolutely not top 10 given the major knee red flags.
That's where I'm at as well...
JFC Locked On Spurs has to be the worst Locked On I've ever heard. Jeff Garcia is a , he makes so many factual errors every episode. His takes are blander that vanilla. He repeats himself. He still doesn't know the Spurs have the CHA(14) pick next year. His guests are just as ed as him. Today he had on Rudy Campos who gave his two Spurs picks as Topic & Dilly, said Knecht went to Tennessee for 4 years, and said Salaune could be the next Giannis. He's like the hater of NBA analysis and predictions
I don't know why I waste my time with that manure.
Touché
Who would be barlows comp in this draft? Could he be Sarr light?
Save him for the 2nd round IF he is still there.
Yeah, if we are going to draft Topic and Salaun, I'd rather we just give up 4 and 8 for Herb Jones.
yes, and if we're projecting him as a defender, he HAS to be elite.
And there were enough question marks around Topic's games even without these injuries. Seems like the team that drafts him in the top 10 is setting themselves up for Darko-like results.
Small Market Bias is the best Spurs podcast, IMO, but Matt Tynan is too busy or too lazy to do episodes on a regular cadence.
Every team in top10 is in such a bad situation that they simply can't risk picking a player with so many red flags.
I guess maybe the Rockets could do it since they're in a better spot than other teams. Grizzlies don't need another point guard.
I think he's going to be picked in #11-15 range.
Garcia is dumb as rocks
