To me he seems like what Sochan was supposed to be with that point guard experiment. And I don't think Pop has given up on that type of primary ballhandler. Especially considering Wemby's rapid self-creation improvement. I think Castle is almost a guarantee at #4 if Risacher isn't available....

I think I kind of agree that Dillingham's defensive problems are overblown, as I've also talked about elsewhere. My big questions are whether he can buy in and work hard. His instincts on that side aren't great, but I liked that he wasn't making the dead-ass dumb decisions as the season went on,...

I watched all of his videos for the players Spurs could draft and he's somewhat too optimistic. For example he doesn't see Dillingham's or Topic's defense as a major concern. Reminds me of how Booker dropped all the way to 13th just because he was a 6tth man for Kentucky, with 8/12 picks...

I started with wanting Dillingham at 4 and then, seeing Charlotte as most likely to nab Castle of the next three, jumping to the Hornets' pick to secure him. Since then, Dillingham has seemed to drop. I'm still perplexed by this for reasons I've recorded all over the place, and I do think teams are...

My point was that no one is perfect. Even the ST knobslobbed Sam Presti has his Ouseman Diengs, Cameron Paynes, and Josh Giddeys, all lottery picks.

Youre right. I struggle to see who they’d love so much at 6 that may not be there at 8 (or a consolation prize they can live with). It’s probably more a contingency in case ZR falls to 4, but that seems unlikely. I suppose the more interesting scenario is trading back from 8, if they’re deadset...

I don't think I've seen that channel. I liked that a lot. It's pretty clear I'd take Castle over anyone in this draft. He's perfect out of this draft class. All he really needs to shape up is his shooting. Even as an average shooter his upside is tremendous. We all want shooting out of the box but...

Are you sure about that ? You might be thinking YMCA league MVP Ousmane Dieng or former spur Georgi Dieng.( Actually I've met Georgi Dieng - he's a really cool down to earth guy no disrespect to him.)

Yeah, when people were skeptical about the Thompson twins last year I understood the questions, but I also pointed out that at least they did what they were supposed to do and led their team to a 21-1 record iirc. They were supposed to win against their level of competition, and they did. Ignite...

I would happy enough with Castle as one of our picks in the top 10. He has a decent enough floor he would be an improvement on the floor than last year's options of Branham and Wesley. Really just depends on who is left on the board after top 3 selects.

His results aren't null and void, but there's a huge gap between ABA and Euroleague. Weaker European leagues are all about high IQ players that play the right way, but most of them have no athleticism whatsoever and are stuck on that level because of it. Because of that, rim protection isn't...

Spurs probably should avoid players with broken shots - chip is gone. They got enough players on this roster with broken shots whose shots are still broken.

He shot low volume at UCONN. He played within the team concept at UCONN and sacrificed stats to buy into a winning program. He wasn't given a green light to just gun away like those kentucky guards.

I don't get this analogy. If the ABA is even a hair better than the NCAA, why would a 17/18 year old's results be somehow null & void there, while an 18 year old's results in the NCAA aren't? I think Topic never showed a mid-range there because he didn't need it, as he was attacking the rim with...

Haliburton didn't need any fixing, he's a great shooter, and Fultz definitely had/has a mental block.

I want 1. Sarr 2. Castle Then I don't care who after those two.

Relax bro.

Extremely difficult.

The reason Salaun is in discussion of being a top 10 pick in the first place is because teams believe he’s got a high ceiling. It isn’t just the Spurs showing interest, but multiple teams have. There’s rationale to drafting him with a top 10 pick. No team that has shown interest is thinking they’re...

To a certain degree. Fultz or even Halliburton seem impossible to fix Then you have Shawn Marion who made a living of an absurd mechanic :lol

Nico will finish bb career during OG Paris 2024

Of course there are other choices. I just assumed we'd pick a guard at 4 and a wing at 8 It really depends on who are THEIR guys, whether they want to fill a position/need or the best potential available etc We have so many needs tbh I could see them take Dilli or Reed at 4 and Salaun or...

Saddiq Bey tore his ACL so he'd have to be brought along slowly with little expectations next year.

The FA pool is really pretty trash. Batum intrigues, but he played well in the POs for the Sixers and think a playoff team will grab him. This summer should have a lot of players on the move as fringe and declining teams look to save themselves, plus the big ticket teams struggling with their...

Only pussies & assholes do AI.

Didn’t the Spurs have a crush on Dalano Banton for a hot second? Batum makes a lot of sense at wing until the spurs find better SF talent via these upcoming drafts. Also a ZR fall back plan. Is Bey a reclamation project? Don’t know enough about him.

Best for me for a while has been taking our player at 4 and trading up to 6, as you say. At this point that's Castle and then preference. But at this point I don't think Dillingham is on the Spurs radar so I don't really know if it's necessary. I think Reed will either be gone or a Spurs preference...

That's G League MVP Ousmane Dieng, sir.

Hornet fans seem to see their top 3 as Castle, Reed, and Holland. Clingan has some fans but there is a big debate about Mark Williams. I bet they could be sold on trading back with the Spurs at 8 if Holland is the only one left from that list. Obviously Spurs would have make good on their...

Castle very clearly has a mechanics issue with his shot. He shoots it from above his head, instead of shooting from his eyes. That's good, though. It is the same mechanichs fix that Kawhi needed, hopefully the Spurs can work their magic again. Fixing a mechanichs problem is easier than fixing a...
