Did what? Be a follower? He’s not even good enough to come up with his own shit.

When did you stop beating your wife?

Debateable, and really just buying into the fiction that a Risacher is any better than a Knecht. Very much a doubt. I do think the draft gets a little soft around picks 8 or 9, but then it picks up in terms of value for the spot. There are gems scattered, and the draft may be deeper than most. A...

If I’m the Pistons I’m taking Clingan at 5 if he falls past the top 3. Duren to me is average at best. Less than a block a game, doesn’t even protect the rim. I then trade Duren for a much needed upgrade at the 4 who can provide shooting around Cade and Ausar such as Kuzma, Cam Johnson or Miles...

why people walk away when they see monkeys in hoods walking towards them..........stereotypes r stereotypes for a reason because they r true......... ...

It's not like the Spurs are an established squad that are not going to be going through a lot of trial and error trying to figure out how to compete and win games. At least in SA, he would not have the expectations because of Wemby as opposed to a squad that had no one worth a shit.

Yup. Sarr was pretty much a lock for number one across most draft boards until they started snubbing Atlanta and pushing into Washington. Rarely does a no.1 pick get benched his first year.

He made Gordon his bitch in the second half after he walked through him and stood over him on that first half dead ball inbounds play in an effort to intimidate him. It just pissed him off.

Nah the draft just lacks prospects that look like likely All Stars and no likely All NBA. That does not mean the talent doesn't drop from the top 5 or so of Sarr, Risacher, Castle, Sheppard, and/or Clingan who are likely starters.

Jrue was never the problem. He proved that by going to Milwaukee and winning a title, and then going to Boston and winning another one. He’s an extremely low friction high efficiency player on offense, and a multiple time All D player. The problem in New Orleans was that Anthony Davis wasn’t an...

What flaws does he have, besides his shooting? He’s the closest thing to a complete, right sized player in the draft.

Obviously. What's different is how flat this draft is, fit becomes more important, so getting specific players. Probably nothing happens, but who knows.

Everyone predicts lots of moves but they don't end up happening

Feels like there will be a lot of contingency spells that will go off under certain circumstances. Detroit trades down if Risacher/Sheppard doesn't get to them, for example.

Yup, board seems to be shaping up: 1) Risacher or Clingan 2) Sarr 3) Sheppard 4) Risacher (possibly, if Atlanta goes with Clingan) or Castle Personally, if I'm Atlanta I play hardball and give Washington a big FU by taking Sarr anyway, and force them to give something up if they want him,...

I'd be disappointed if he didn't start over Jeremy right away, but if you've seen any of my post, I'm not really a fan of Jeremy, which is why I would want Sarr as the pick. I don't think Jeremy has any upside to his game as a tweener forward who doesn't really do anything that impacts winning,...

I was at the arena for the blocks on Chet and Giannis. It’s been years since I’ve heard the SA crowd get up and roar.

Yeah I'm taking whichever of the two is still there at 4, assuming Risacher is gone. Between the two Castle is my first choice but would be really happy to get Sheppard too.

34 for 34 felony counts :lmao

Good analysis of the situation there

What role can he really have if he never learns to shoot? He can be excellent on every other facet of the game, but if he can't keep defenses honest, he will become unplayable.

Opinion is really firming that Sarr will go to Washington, and that this is his preference, leaving the question of whether Atlanta takes Risacher or Clingan.

But how do we know they're legitimate?

Clingan and Sarr going 1-2 in the draft would be a GREAT way to start for the Spurs. It’s pretty likely too imo. If I’m the GM of the Hawks I just do not feel comfortable taking Risacher 1 overall tbh. I like him and would be happy with him at 4 for the Spurs, but just doesn’t feel right picking...

Will be very interesting to watch Chicago this off-season. I don’t think Ayo is any more available now that Giddey is there. I think they will roll with a 3 guard rotation of White-Giddey-Ayo. They are kind of set at guard with 3 solid young pieces. Rumours are they’re trying to offload...

Kind of glad spurstalk is not in charge of drafting lol

starting to read that Sarr to Wizards is a lock, which makes sense for them. in the weeks after the lottery, Sarr to the hawks was the foregone conclusion, but man there's just been a lot of smoke that they are deciding between Clingan/Risacher

Totally. Clingan and Matas being there at 8 would help for CHI or MEM, or someone who still likes Topic wanting to get ahead of Utah at 10. And then the Spurs could pick up someone like Cody a little later and not have it feel like a reach.
