Mavericks defense and shooting has been the difference. It's a role players' game, right now. I'm jumping ahead of myself here, but if the Mavericks D stays stifling, then they've got every shot to extend the series to at least 6. Just hypothetically speaking as I have no horse in this race, but no...

i despise those tankathon sheets. i dont think they're based on any actual scouting/analysis but rather a function of their raw stats being inputted and then the plusses and minuses get spit out based on positional averages or whatever.

I agree with Clingan, but I don't see Sarr in the same mold as Duren. Duren is smaller (probably 6'9" without shoes) and a vertical athlete which is useful mostly for lobs and rebounds, but not a good defender anywhere (inside, on the perimeter), kind of like a lighter Drummond or a homeless man's...

Needless to say there was none, just those two assclowns repeating what they heard and framing as their own take. Clingan's tankathon sheet looks about as clean as any I seen:

This is the kind of first half deficit the 2000's Spurs would come back and win. So, I'm thankful this game at least reminded me of those times.

Clingan at 8 would be ok for a couple of reasons… a BIG reason- if he pushes Zollins further out of rotation- that alone makes him worth it… and 7-3 players with a MOTOR do not grow on trees… combine wembys length and clingans length…and pop might even remember what to do with a twin...

No.. He has more value in a trade at draft night than any other point in his career in SA.

Don’t worry, Castle will smoother him.

can never trust the Celtics. Such a choker team.

Man Timvp must really hate Matas, who is more likely to be a realistic choice.

This Podcast sucks ass when it's audio only, I couldn't imagine it could be worse... but then I saw the YT version :lol

I'll just agree to disagree. I don't see any of those things in Sarr's game, other than the short turnaround shot (which isn't really enough of a differentiator on its own). My own opinion is that folks see in Sarr what they want, but it's all just hope at this point. We'll see - but I don't think...

Welp

lol if youre going to make 30+ minute draft profile vids you definitely need some freaking game footage to make your point :lol otherwise why bother with the youtube component? just release it on spotify or whatevs

sarr is a higher ceiling/lower floor prospect than duren was. think he's more athletic and shows some perimeter-ish skills that duren doesnt really have, but not remotely developed enough to be reliable right now. duren's scoring is largely limited to the restricted area, whereas sarr has some face...

Without watching much of this guy, the only way I’d draft him is if his offensive game resembled Tim Duncan by even a little bit but most of his shots are just around the basket. No post up game, mid range pop, nothing. I do believe this type of center (if that player is a top option) is what...

Locked on Spurs profiled him today. Per usual Garcia and Jack Thompson have a variety of shithole takes (i.e comp to Brook Lopez) but if you looking for some Spurs/Clingan fodder/porn waste 30 minutes of your life:

Luka definitely looks like the kind of MFer who screams at his mother when the hot pockets are the wrong flavor.

But despite that size, Clingan didn't use that in ways that you would expect. His REB/40 min (despite what I said earlier, I was looking at nominal stats not per 40) are only slightly better than Kessler's (+0.5) but Kessler put up 7.1 blks/40 versus 4.4 for Clingan. The note on passing is...

Watching Dante Exum, how did this guy go from being a top prospect and a top 5 overall pick to being a bench scrub? And what can we learn from that about how to evaluate the current crop of prospects?

A throw back center who doesn't move super well on the perimeter, shoots about as well as Poeltl, weighs almost 300 lb and has an extensive injury history, is not a good use of a top 10 pick. The only way I would be ok with taking Clingan, is if the Spurs main targets at 4 were gone and he's...

One thing about Edey is I think he only started playing basketball his junior year of high school. Compound that with his development in college and he has shown quite an impressive growth each season in college. He appears to be a guy that puts in a lot of work on his game. I really like Edey...

You think this is bad right now? I don’t think you remember how much worse it was before a year ago

Mavericks hitting corner threes and whaddaya know, they look like the team that owned the best defense in the L. Also Luka playing much more inspired on defense and bitching relatively little.

It’s been said a couple times already, but if he is there at 8, I would take him. Being older and more ready, he could have early production that turns into a trade during the 2025 draft.

Odd fit next to Wemby. Would pass at 4. If available at 8, I'd use as trade leverage for future or real assets.

he's a better passer imo (tho not a playmaker. think Poeltl) he's also just bigger. at the combine, without shoes, Clingan was 1.5 inches taller, 2.5 inch longer wingspan, 2 inch longer standing reach, and weighed 26 more pounds

I think it’s a weak C class, and that his median outcomes, the most likely tail to hit, are better than the other Cs.

Dilly seems like the kind of dude who, if we don't draft him after him being pretty open about wanting to come here, will drop 50 on us repeatedly throughout his career. Won't even be mad at him for it.

I thinks it’s a coin flip or maybe better, that we can get Risacher without trading up. You also did kind of propose an offer. That’s what I was shooting down.
