Hollywood (Park) Spurs

I agree with the assessment of Sochan and Castle's compatibility right now... but I sure hope that *if* Castle is the best prospect available that we don't pass on him because of Jeremy fucking Sochan. Sochan isn't good enough to dictate our drafting decisions.

As a famous philosopher once said, "Assume he already knows that".

Impressive. More threes than Cody Williams took all season.

I'm sure I'm just saying something that thousands of people have already said, but yeah, the more I've been watching this class, the more I feel like there's a lot of really good players, just not certain all-stars. The draft is "bad" since the top is not great, but the depth is normal. This is a...

Why? Did he have a Scotty Hopson level of retarded interview or something? Still my favorite moment of draft combine history:

I was just about to post that kind of description. It might work a little better against smaller players if he plays the point and will be OK for camp-out-at-the-arc attempts. It looks like something that could be improved without a complete overhaul anyway. I'd still prefer an already proven...

I’d be happy with Holland at #4 and Dilly at #8

……yikes

Ron Holland was never going to slide past both Charlotte and Portland at 6 and 7, especially Portland who badly need a big wing. I can see Dilly sliding down to 8 if the Spurs skip him at 4 as I don’t think any of the 5-8 teams want a PG. If the Spurs want Holland they’ll have to pick him at 4....

As long as they don't select Castle at 4, have Dillingham go before 8 and and are staring down the barrel of a theoretical (Salaun) or non (Holland, Williams) shooter at 8. If they select Sheppard, Dillingham or even Buzelis at 4, it'd be easier to stomach some non shooter like Castle at 8. ...

Mr. Body ‘s alt? Bro try harder. You ain’t fooling anybody with this one.

Agreed. I've currently got him as a late 1st. He would be an excellent depth piece with some untapped upside.

One of the big winners of the combine might be Pelle Larsson. If teams believe he can also play some point, he might be picked much higher than the mocks see him. He will definitely be in a similar conversation like some other Seniors are, say for example Tyler Kolek. Larsson is far more athletic...

With a slow, elongated release, no less. He's not getting that shot off regularly in the NBA shooting that slowly. There's a reason he shot poorly from 3 this season tbh.

here's what happened when the Thompson twins tried to "stop" Dillingham 1789113370978762858 if a coach tells 2 supposedly great defensive prospects "Why the fuck can't we stop Rob Dillingham" that should tell you something

Holland and Dillingham are the combo I’d like to see. Holland is good on defense and can create his own shot on offense. He has good free throw numbers so maybe his shot will improve. Dillingham is the type of scoring threat we need to have on the perimeter to open things up for Wemby.

At this point, adding guys whose biggest question mark is shooting is dicey IMO. Playmaking and shooting are just so clearly the biggest needs at this point. Someone in here mentioned that it’s lazy analysis to just say “we have Victor so we can hide any bad defenders”, and while I’m not...

Honestly, I think everyone’s going to be happy no matter what the Spurs do because we have two picks in this draft.

The same Celtics who annually underwhelm in the playoffs because they lack elite play making (and in an related note, an MVP caliber player)? The Bucks, who've annually done the same (even when they won, when the path cleared) for the same reason and the Clippers too (Scumbag's unwillingness to...

Think this was before ATL won the draft

As far as I know, Klutch and the Spurs are basically good. One thing -- Dillingham is kind of an influencer type who is into fashion and has a pretty good internet following. Not a bad thing, but with Sochan and Wembanyama being big personalities, it would be a new day.

i like this. we get dejounte and the #1 overall pick

Nah. In the shortrun, it will depend on whether they get shooting from the other forward position (e.g., a vet like Batum).

You forgot the “gibberish” option in the poll.

Yeah his height wingspan standing reach and weight are basically the exact same size as Isaac Okoro during his draft year (3 point shooting volume and percentages too!). I'm of similar mind to you, except I'd prefer a Sheppard/Castle combination as Castle definitely has outs to be a decent wing as...

Smart take. The Spurs are building around Wemby, period. That doesn't mean the number 2 has to be a ball dominant PG. Neither BOS or MIN (a potential finals match-up) features a ball dominant PG for example. Castle offers the defensive upside that you describe, with the potential connective...

Dude, stop day drinking. Ms Clark is a great ladies player, but she'd get killed playing against men. The athleticism gap is just WAY too big.

Sochan and Castle can't play together, the former probably is entrenched and Jones might be too. The playoffs are more so about not having a liability defender (unless they offset it by being a superstar or star offensively) than having so called perimeter stoppers. Despite the hype, bigs...

If I had to pick one draft prospect in the last 3-4 years who would have a the best chance of developing into an SGA-stopper or at least neutralizer while still being able to play big playoff-caliber minutes, it'd probably be one of the Thompson twins. But after those two, your best bet is probably...
