I can see the draft being a real head-scratcher and then the trades get announced and we'll need an air traffic controller to sort out the re-routes.
Might be a double meltdown here of Irwin Allen-sized proportions. I can't wait!!!
I could see this scenario unfolding, for sure. It's just so hard to know how teams are going to draft. I see Topic as a shorter Josh Giddey.
Not sure that prototype is at the top of the Spurs list. But, then again, who knows?
I guess. I do remember T.J. McConnell's wreaking havoc off the bench against Boston with mostly waterbug baseline drives. Comparisons to Dilly aren't 1:1 but things might have been more interesting if were T.J. also an elite three point shooter like Dilly might be.
Well...yeah. All draft talk...
I'm starting to think this is way too much analysis. Let's just go all the way back to the basics and put one of the bands back together again.
4- Reed Sheppard
8 - Robert Dillingham
35 - Justin Edwards
48 - Antonio Reeves
4/8 - Donovan Clingan/Stephon Castle
35 - Cam Spencer
48 -...
Some picks will need more time than others to develop. I sense that Sarr will need a lot of work being young. Bigs seem to need more development time as well (just my opinion). I don't see Sarr contributing much next year. If taking a long road, then that's probably okay. But I think I would prefer...
Players like McCain, Furphy, Kyshawn George, Filipowski, Missi, Kolek, Tyler Smith, etc., could tumble into the 20s. I'm not sure how great any of them will be, but they're fairly promising.
Topic won't even play this year so its only one non shooter added to the roster for this year and next years' draft gives you a great chance for adding shooting.
I can see the logic behind this and a real possibility.
Don't count Topic out. He's going to find his way on the Spurs.
Spurs appear high on Castle and Salaun and only Risacher may get them off of Castle at 4 but Risacher isn't likely going to be there at 4.
But they also will want to add...
Buzelis at 4 isn't a reach like how Primo was a reach. Samanic would have gone higher if he wasn't such a malcontent. Buzelis at 4 is not shocking, it just depends on if he can fit into the Spurs system.
Topic's ACL isn't why I don't want to piss away a pick on him. It's the T-Rex arms. All along we were sold a bill of goods that Topic is long and can finish at the rim, turns out that was a lie from his agent with his negative wingspan which probably explains why he sucked in Euroleague when he...
would be another reason to go for a pick in the low 20s.
maybe it's a bit like 2020 without Ant. (who wasn't a sure thing back then as well, with the weak shooting and the TOs)
a lot of quality in the lower half of 1st round. Spurs would be pretty happy to come out with a Maxey, McDaniels or...
Wemby and Sarr actually have great perimeter D in a vacuum. When you got both covering you, the perimeter players job will be to suck them into the 3 point line where the long arms of Sarr and Wemby will cause havoc. It would be a more devastating defense than Tim Duncan and Drob because DRob was...
