These are two vastly different points. One is about being pessimistic about the Spurs’ chances of getting the #1 pick, and the other one is whether the Spurs value Risacher as #1 on their board as most here perceive without actual proof.

^ I’m of a different philosophy: - use 2024 draft to either find good backcourt help and/or shore up the defense (read: Castle; Carter; Reed; McCain; Cody) - find front court stopgals via free agency (Thobias; Batum) and other FA depth as needed (don’t dislike idea of Josh returning) -...

I remember when people said this about the lottery and the spurs getting Victor Wembenyama.

I think it's preposterous to blame Risacher's terrible feel for the game on his role. A better explanation is that his role is so reduced because he cannot be trusted to do anything beyond standing in the corners. This is evidenced by how terrible he is when he tries to do basic actions like attack...

So I don't love this, but let's try a bit of a different off-season: Trades: Obligatory trade to get rid of Graham's guarantee Draft: At 4, Spurs select Risacher

Good player, but can't shoot worth a lick. I'd prioritize bigs who can space the floor.

Definitely smoke screen season... :lol

lol, I was certain this was gonna be that one poster creaming about Kai Soto again.

I think you just answered yourself, he's playing in a professional league where no one cares about him racking up assists, he plays a very defined role that suits the team and that's it. Most guys in your list would have racked up DNP/CD in Risacher's situation. It's legitimate to say it's an area...

Not surprising to see that Risacher is graded as a second round pick by analytics. The primary measure that's concerning for him is his extremely low AST:TO, which generally indicates poor awareness. The primary argument against this is that a professional league is different from NCAA basketball,...

It finally came to me this guy is one of our old draft picks - Ryan Richards

There's no securing anything, just ask Detroit that ended with the worst record for 3 years in a row only to pick #5 each time. In fact even if the Spurs ended with a bottom 3 record, they'd have had a 40.1% chance of ending up with a better pick than they did (1-3), 12% of getting #4, and a 47.9%...

The PG experiment didn't last half the season but a little bit more than ONE month... Could we stop using that excuse? As for Rodman, he was a totally different person, diff background and personality, traumas etc He also didn't become the Rodman we're refering to before the 2nd part of his...

Yeah, I think we are going to see a very big growth to his game this upcoming season - I agree though with Wemby he just needs to play good D and box out and get those rebounds and when open shoot the 3 ball with confidence

A smoke screen doesn't have to come from the team directly and wouldn't. Parker straight-up announced talks of trading him in 2011 were a smokescreen, and the Spurs never once (to my memory) came out and suggested they were trying to trade him. The point of a smokescreen is to get people to believe...

There's a thin line between confidense and delusion that he doesn't seem shy to cross in most of his interviews. Some like it, I see a red flag from a kid that disapointed. It would be diff from someone who just won a title or had a great season

Let us proceed...

He ain't done yet. He made Biden a FELON. And he made bump stocks legal by outlawing them on the upside and legalizing them with his SC. His response after the SC legalized 'em..."The Supreme Court has spoken." Make no mistake, amb, even after he's in the grave those two eldest sons will...

I'm not as down as many/most others are about Sochan's stint at PG. I think it made him a better all around player, firget distributor. If you've ever played pick up ball you know that running point makes you see the court in different ways than he ever would have just flashing for jump shots or...

hmmmmmmm

This draft is a shit show. So much movement. Going to be a fun watch.

what do you think guys?

Here he is folks. Unless you're one of the 90% who have him on cancel, enjoy the Saturday Night Whack-a-Mole show.

Given that the things that timvp writes gets reported pretty widely these days (which is awesome, and I'm happy for timvp), I wouldn't believe anything that a source tells timvp at this point. Could easily see the Spurs using timvp (and others) to help with misinformation. hashtag CIAPOP

I actually think that could be spot on. What type of players have they been preaching and drafting? 18-19 year olds. Multi positional. Mature/intelligent. And oddly, most importantly, interview extremely well. Based on that: Risacher, Buzelis, Cody could be their top 3. Obviously just...

Well he settled. That’s defeat.

Maybe it's a scott thing, but Matas also #1 on my board. Also - scottspurs and I are not the same person
