People take athletic profiles as "can't miss." One of the most fallacious things about evaluating prospects. Sharpe is in the LaMello Ball "doesn't actually want to play basketball" category.

Shaedon Sharpe wasn't "can't miss", those don't fall to 7 and most of us didn't even want him for the Spurs at 9.

Gobert was 7’0.5” https://www.nbadraft.net/2013-nba-draft-combine-measurements/

OKC is going to be this decade's version of the Spurs championship teams, with the exception of the 2014 squad. Great defense and an MVP franchise player whose game just isn't very exciting. You just know that the last thing ESPN wants is a Pacers/OKC finals. Personally, I think it'd be great to...

I had him 10th overall. It wasn't a wild miss, but he has been short of that expectation. Most pundits had him higher than I did and rascal, who i was responding too, had him higher.

Shaeden Sharpe decided to sit on his ass during college even when he got eligibility and could have played. He's non-competitive. I saw James Wiseman in terms of wanting to hide himself to protect his draft stock. Now, he's obviously much, much better than Wiseman in terms of... everything. But...

There really isn't a zero percent chance he takes Harper.

In London now. DKAS-Wgs911

Agree, I just still hold out hope we'll make a trade for a starter on that position.

John Collins is not declining, he actually got back to his former Atlanta self this season. Bringing up impact stats for a team that had the worst record in basketball is not an argument. They were tanking harder than any other team. Second thing, you still don't seem to understand that Collins...

The real question is if he shoots better than Aaron Gordon.

I been high on Demin 2 years ago tbh. He could be special if he can put it all together, it's just a huge if. Especially him being able to score in any type of way is a huge questionmark. Other than that a 3-and-D point forward archetype is always super valuable, but that depends on his jumper. ...

I’m not sure why you would expect that. He was a HS wonder with questionable eligibility who chose not to play at UK. Basically like someone from OTE or the GLI, wasting a year when he could have been learning.

His year 2 to Year 3 Shooting % stayed exactly the same while his volume dropped nearly in half while other teams just stopped defending him entirely. This is what we call an improved shot?

Chances Nico Harrison passes on Cooper Flagg are about the same as those of his family being abducted by a Spurs fan and him being coerced into doing so. Any volunteers? :lol

I bet he is 7’4 1/2 or 7’5” barefoot now

It would take more than we want to pay, honestly. One of the big podcasters, can’t remember who, recently theorized it would take 2 FRP I would give up #14 in a heartbeat, but Blazers say no and I’m not willing to add to that.

Probably not - but what realistic option for the Spurs will?

His comment was kinda non sense though. Like spurs draft the pick or trade the pick. Like of course. So the only added value is the pick would be Harper.

Most the pictures I see with Wemby he’s standing with people who are not right next to him but more slightly in the foreground. He was measured barefoot by the Spurs themselves at 7’3.5” barefoot right after they drafted him so he should be listed at 7’4”. Could he have grown a little since? ...

I don't think people understand how bad the rest of that team was. Same people bring up Bailey's lack of playmaking, but it would've looked a lot better if his teammates could actually make lay ups. Harper scoring like that on such a trash team make his stats even more impressive.

So of the five Top-4 picks so far (Robinson, Elliott, Duncan, Wemby, Castle)....4 won ROY, 2 were MVPs, 3 are champions (so far) Pretty good track record.

Yeah, I ran a small program to test for the combinations given the above information and it checks out: Comb # Ball A Ball B Ball C Ball D Seed Team

Two things. I believe CamJohnson to be the better player than John Collins. I could agree that Collins is a better fit for what the Spurs need but I also feel that Sochan is a much better defender than Collins on the perimeter and which is why I feel I wouldn't want to upgrade Sochan to Collins. A...

Per On3, OL offer Malakai Lee from Honolulu, HI will officially visit Texas on June 6th instead of the 13th. https://247sports.com/player/malakai-lee-46134156/

It’s not luck. It’s how you play the cards you’re dealt. Other teams have had multiple 1st, even closer apart, Cavs, Sixers. Pelicans had AD, Zion. I don’t blame health because Timmy played more than half of his career with a bad knee. It’s how Spurs managed his minutes, conditioning, etc and...

Shaedon Sharpe can't miss...he's got next etc, etc. I expect Harper to pan out, but I also expected Sharpe to be better than he is. Things aren't always what they seem to fans... That said, do I take Harper @ 2? Absolutely, but let's not anoint him as something that he's not yet.

That's it? You just try to present things that are completely wrong as undeniable facts, then disappear from the topic as soon as someone points out how much off the mark your "facts" actually are? But when someone makes a honest mistake like mixing up if we traded away MIN swap or pick, you...

Hard to see with no tourney games.

I don't think there's a chance the Spurs trade the #2 for Giannis. Maybe like half a percent chance. I do think there's a chance Nico takes Dylan Harper and Flagg drops. In a normal world, no, but in this case, yes, there's a slim chance. There's even a hilarious but extremely thin chance he...
