Billy Beane rolling in his grave with this scenario of favoring upside over current skill in both picks. Outside of Risacher I view the wings as high risk high reward guys while Dillingham and Sheppard should at the least be high quality 6th or 7th men and have a good shot of being decent starters....
The beauty of the “weak” draft is that leaves us with 8-10 players at least that nobody hardly thinks are much better than the other. But, these are a mixture of the top college and international players. The idea that they won’t be upgrades to our current roster because it’s a “weak” draft is...
Spurs don’t draft like that. They set up a complete board, which this year will be 59 players, and when they’re on the clock, they pick the highest remaining player on their board. You can really outsmart yourself trying shit like that when it may not even be those teams picking in those...
Vassell and Sochan are pretty damn good picks, tbh. The only bad lottery pick from the Spurs has been Primo, and, even then, he might have proved to be a good pick if he hadn't done what he did.
I like Knecht, but I don’t see the Spurs drafting a shorter Doug McDermott when we already have Vassell at the 2 tbh. Could be wrong of course. A lot depends on what we do with that 4th pick. But I’d bet we go best wing available at 4 and then hopefully Dilly or Sheppard at 8.
I dont see anything special on Risacher. Why people here wants him so bad? It looks like knecht and Risacher have the same stuff of what they can bring on to a basketball court.
With having a second pick I definitely want upside with the latter pick: Holland, Castle, Buzelis, Topic, or Williams. Could have sold me on Knecht if the Spurs were only getting pick #8 but at #4 they should be able to get some shooting with at least one of Risacher, Dillingham, or Sheppard almost...
