Man, back in the day, 6"3 used to be considered good size for a point guard. Now it's "slight frame." That's today's NBA for you.

I’d be more okay with this if we did it after they traded Young for picks (i.e., more or less guaranteeing the 2025 pick we keep and the pick swap in 2026 are good lottery picks).

As was stated, maybe we get a starter but if a Dilly or Castle ends up being a bench spark plug, that can still play out as a successful draft pick. We don’t have to hit home runs, though that would surely be nice, as much as avoid any potential busts such as the jury still being very much out on...

The odds are against us only if drafting a wing is the priority. Getting the preferred point guard shouldn't be an issue. Tbh, we should hope Wizards win the lottery because they'll almost certainly take Sarr if he's available. Pistons, Blazers, Hornets, Raptors and Memphis surely won't draft...

30-13 Adrian Griffin 17-19 Coc Rivers But "Griffin had to go". :lmao

How about we give ATL back their 27 FRP and Keldon for Murray? Then ATL could still offload Young for a lesser rated PG and draft pick(s) and go full rebuild? We still keep their next year pick which is likely now worth more, as potentially their 26 pick swap rights would also be. Murray...

Like I've said before, Its not who we want to pick, but who's available to be picked. That being said the odds are against us unless we get lucky again...and it was luck. Therefore I would go with who is a talented safe pick who could be a solid role player / sometime starter. Remember Wemby...

LeBowen I think some are chasing a unicorn at PG where only SGA or Doncic would meet the specs. On Murray, I recalled him as being a very competent playmaker his last season with us. I think some of the things we want at PG with some consensus is can stay in front of their man, can shoot, and...

Like one media commentator said, even if they were fully informed ahead of time of the scamminess of his contract for this Lie Social stock deal, most of them would have purchased it anyways. Interesting study on brainwashing, monkey see - monkey do behavior and conformity.

Seriously? He destroyed their reputation, set the franchise back years (without his antics, he'd have went for a Davis esque haul) and had they not lucked into Wembanyama, they'd still be reeling with no end in sight.

While every rookie point guard that's not a generational talent takes some time to adjust, a lot of playoff teams have starting point guards of similar stature, if not smaller. Brunson, Lillard, Garland, Maxey, Rozier (injured), Conley, Kyrie, Beal, CJ, D'Lo. That's 10/16 playoff teams that are...

Post quote repaid while padding my post count in triplicate. Here is another fun Dilly comp: Eric Bledsoe.

Of course Dillingham/his "camp" would prefer the Spurs, for two obvious reasons: 1) The gaping hole at lead guard and 2) The presence of the likely future best player in the league, who will give them a national spotlight again and a path to winning at the highest level. As for fit over Young,...

I think it should be said that most any draft prospect comp is ludicrous to a bona fide NBA star but some of these “weak draft” prospects are going to hit. Picking which ones, the optimistic comps are not only the most logical approach to me but a big part of the fun of it.

You can’t coach size as they say. How about a Sheppard to Steve Nash comp, any takers? Tall or not, Nash was an epic competitor and performer in the NBA, perhaps Sheppard is cut from a similar mold?

I feel like ESPN knows the time to keep milking the Warriors and Lakers for views is pretty much over, so the push is on for the younger players like Wemby and Ant. Especially Wemby cuz the Spurs sucked, they'll have a highish pick, and young players would be dumb not to be excited to potentially...

I'd love to but I'm not sure honestly. That's what (and then some) was expected with Scoot who was tagged as a potential genertional player. Dillingham is a better shooter but the transition to the NBA is harder than imagined sometimes, specially for undersized PGs. Not sure Dilly will give you...

I wanted to talk through the rationale for Stephon Castle - I previously thought that as long as his shot pans out, he's the prospect in the draft based on his two way ability. But recently I'm not so sure that I'd take him that high even if he becomes a league average or slightly above average...

Bauer Haters who were rejoicing at his late March - early April slump.... Insert: IT'S ANOTHER LEVEL TREVOR BAUER MAKING HISTORY -14 strikeouts in 5 innings - 9 consecutive strikeouts - 12 strikes in a row - Struck out all 3 batters with 9 pitches in a single inning The nine consecutive...

This. No one here is trying to get hired in place of Spurs' scouting, we're a bunch of Spurs fans from all over trying to get a better reading on the possible picks. If we set the bar to NBA scout level then might as well not have anyone say anything since none of us has the time to watch in full...

Dilly would be a lot less risky and cheaper than Young. We see there is a “Wemby factor” now with draft prospects. While we generally don’t think ring chasing veterans are ready to view SA as a first option, seems like it won’t be long before the Wemby effect conveys there also.

I was surprised that Dillingham was specifically asked about Spurs in the espn interview he gave when he declared (at 1min25s): It looks like that question wasn't innocent... I can see a lot of top prospects viewing Spurs as their preferred destination. It's just that Pistons, Wizards,...

Salaun probably hasn't star or even starter potential in the NBA but I can see him being a more than serviceable player and the kind of guy you like in your roster for his hard work, versatility and positive energy as a dynamic 3 and D guy whio can notably defend the Tatums or Giannises. Just not...

I like Dilly as a potential Kyrie or Donovan Mitchell. That’s the scoring upside I think you are after and I do think he has the ability to come in and score right away in the NBA. Defense and passing, time will tell but to me it looked like he dunks more easily than Wesley at the same height so...

I think Holland is way low but otherwise the list makes sense. I have Risacher/dillingham/sheppard top 3

Well Dejounte’s top 5 seems like will have a couple players that will drop into the 6-9 range so we should be sitting pretty. If we had the 1 or 2 and the 7, we could probably get one of those while also rolling the dice on a more developmental “project” such as a Sarr that if it paid off would...

Dillingham is a much better playmaker than many say, including Timvp. He was better than Sheppard and for our purposes is very good with lobs, like a specialty. He'd get Wemby at the rim a lot. His assist per 36 were better than any college prospect than Kolek. Plainly, he's the most talented...
