If Risacher is gone by 4, then I would draft Buzelis, as the only other forward projected to go in the top 5 and settle for whichever guard is available at #8.
Wemby won't have a problem with anyone they draft.
He still has trust in the fo decision making at this point.
We'll see after the next couple of seasons if that changes. Spurs need to step up in these next two drafts.

For the Holland enthusiasts, please check out this podcast. Basically the shot is broken.

Risacher will be a Wizard tbh.
How could you possibly know what Wemby is actually thinking? This is a guy who said Las Vegas felt like the "closest thing I've seen to a Dystopia." He's an independent thinker, and it's impossible to know his true feelings on what he really thinks about the decisions PATFO have made. This sort of certainty reminds me of the days when there were endless twitter, instagram, and article quotes shared around here about Josh Primo's incredible "maturity" and "high character."
Risacher is a bit of a mess on Washington. If they resign Tyus, at least they have a point guard to distribute. Otherwise they have chuckers in Poole and Kuzma, although they may move the Kooz. Then, they already have a designated sharpshooter in Kispert.
A shooting wing is not what they need and he's hard to develop even if he has much of a ceiling to get to.
You realize that Sochan’s 3G% went up 60 points this past season, right? Our worst problem is defense, and I think you address that first. YMMV.
gonna hate to see this happen. although, there may be a lot of happy women in SA once charles is gone.
Why it say our pick #48 forfeited? What did we do?

As terrible as Washington has been, I have to think they understand at this point that Kuzma and Poole aren't going to major components of any winning seasons in the future. I can't imagine any team passing on someone they think of as a BPA because there's a Poole or Kuzma currently under contract.
Could use guys who can put the ball on the floor too, hence why Dillingham is my favorite prospect with a decent chance to still be there at 4 and why I like him better than Sheppard.
He gets ridiculously wide open threes since teams know they don't have to guard him there and he still sucks at hitting them.
Sochan's overall fg% dropped and his efg% stayed the same.
I didn't see this vast jump in improvement from year one to year two in Sochan's shooting.
24% to 30% from threes is improvement i guess, but he still ing sucks at shooting and as bb pointed out most of his threes are completely wide open
I can see Castle starting over Tre half way into the season. I see whoever we choose at 8 being in the G League next year unless they're some freak of nature which none of the prospects seem to be at the moment. They'll have to battle Vassell, KJ, Champangie, Wesley, Branham, etc.
Castle at 4 and Knecht at 8.
or
Risacher at 4 and Castle/Dillingham at 8.
Doubt it ultimately happensg, but Clingan going 3 would be great for us tbh. Pushes another player down to us at 8.
Not only that when he misses he often misses badly indicating poor shooting mechanics and form.
Dillingham is something between Allan Iverson and Monta Ellis
This is not true anymore, at least certainly not in the playoffs. In the regular season, teams have other goals in mind than winning every game, but in the playoffs, teams are relentless and will attack weak players until they get played off the floor. There's a reason playoff rotations are only 7 players deep. Having Wemby helps, but there's a limit to what he can fix, as proven with the Spurs mediocre team defense this year.
You can be an average to good defender without height, but it requires good technique, agility, and basketball IQ. Sheppard seems to have enough of those other three tools. For some reason, Dillingham seems to lack all three on the defensive side of the court even though he has them on the offensive side. Maybe it's fixable, but I'm not sure.
I'd rather Castle start immediately. If he's better than expected then the Spurs can win games and fight for a playoff spot. If he takes some time to develop, the Spurs will lose some games, and the team can get a headstart on a tank if they decide to do that again.
It's not a take. It's just a fact that when you compare all the positions, having a bad defensive point guard doesn't stop you from winning a le. I already went year by year for you in another thread. The fact is, that every other team besides the mid-90's bulls, 04 Pistons, 11 Mavs, and 21 Bucks have won a championship with a point guard who was a mid to bad defender. Heck you could go back 35 years and it's still the same 4 guys.
Seems like the most reasonable outcome.
I don't think Risacher will be available, though.
Going with positional need, player potential and PATFO preferences logic, Castle should be the #4 pick and then a shooter at #8.
I think they'd rather take Dillingham than Knecht because of his upside.
He seems very un-rockety, unless Ime isa huge voice in their draft room.
Risacher. Easy decision the Spurs won't have to make.
