**The Official 2025 NBA Draft Day Thread**

[benefactor]

7 pm CT on ESPN and ABC.

We made it gents.

Welcome to SA, Dylan Harper.

[RC_Drunkford]

I just hope we draft Harper and get one of Maluach, Sorber or Coward at #14 (or move up)

[mudyez]

It's pretty easy and I don't see any surprises:

#2: Harper
#14: Either they are high on players like Bryant, Sorber, Essengue, Fleming or Coward (not all of them will be available at that point) or they trade it for future assets (propably a first + a swap)...I trust them regarding the mentioned players.
#38: Maxime/Broome will surely be gone...so they take a stach or two way guy that probably never will contribute.

[benefactor]

I just hope we draft Harper and get one of Maluach, Sorber or Coward at #14 (or move up)
Same. I think this goes for most of us

[John B]

12 hours 48 mins to go…

[mudyez]

Same. I think this goes for most of us

Just curious: Would you take those over Bryant or are you assuming, that Bryant is gone for sure at #14?

I have it:
Bryant
Maluach (I don't see him falling to #14 even though the Hawks probably took themself out of the teams drafting him)
Fleming
Coward
Essengue
Sorber

(not including other guys that will be gone for sure)

[LeBowen]

I really like what I've seen watching Coward videos, he can probably make an impact right away, but my concern is that backup big market is non-existant and we can't really get anyone reliable without overpaying, especially since a lot of teams are looking for a starter, while we can't guarantee more than 15 minutes a night.

Pelicans, Raptors, Suns, Bulls all need a big, there's absolutely no way Maluach is available.
On the other hand, Hawks trading for Porzingis is good for us because adding them into the mix would also make Sorber a difficult get.
If OKC doesn't move up, I think we'll get Sorber.
But if they do, I expect them to take him.

Still, a couple of months ago we were hoping we could get Knueppel. Now we're guaranteed to get Harper and another solid player, we have no right to complain.

[CorrectCrusader]

Good morning spurs nation. Tonight is the beginning of a dynasty.

[mudyez]

Good morning spurs nation. Tonight is the beginning of a dynasty.

Well yeah, there is a good possibility we will hear one of those "And with the second pick in the Draft, the Spurs select..." moments that will be in dynasty videos in a century or two.

But let's not jinx it!

From '26 on we will be a commercial break draft team again.

[LeBowen]

From '26 on we will be a commercial break draft team again.

We got someone else's pick in every draft from '26 to '31 exept for '29.
Need to start practicing hate watching.

[John B]

#2
Harper

#14
Sorber
Queen (I’d take him if he’s there, but doubt it)
Bryant
Fleming
Wolf

#38
Reynaud
Broome
Hansen
Goldin

I seriously doubt the Spurs are moving Vassell, Barnes or Keldon. It’s just not them to easily move on.

Wishlist: Sign and trade for John Collins. But I doubt it. Again, Spurs would rather run Sochan and Barnes again at the 4 position. Maybe sign a backup C in Capela. They will evaluate and possibly make a move by trade deadline or from available waivers, depending on what they need to go deep in the playoffs. Oh yeah, I think the Spurs are at 7th or 8th place with a healthy Wemby. But next season is when they go all-in.

[Uriel]

I would cry tears of joy if Maluach were available at 14, but I doubt it. Would the Spurs really take Sorber over Beringer?

[exstatic]

Dylan Harper day!

[Dejounte]

I’m getting teary eyed seeing all the new Sorber fans after campaigning for him for months.

[Eaglenole2002]

14 - Bryant, Maluach, Essengue, Coward. I can talk myself into Berringer or Sorber.

38 - Any big with a pulse if we don’t take one at 14, a draft and stash or Brea/Lanier and pray they become functional on defense. Ideally, we make a cheapish trade up for someone like Fleming or Raynaud.

[onechance87]

Harper at 2 and with 14 are some decent options with coward,bryant,sorber,fleming.Tho i think there is a good chance we go for the
french prospects in noa essengue or beringer which is meh.At 38 maybe yang or goldin for a center or peavy at sf.

[Marco]

Harper and Coward or Sorber. No Essengue and no Beringer.

[onechance87]

Harper and Coward or Sorber. No Essengue and no Beringer.

There is a good chance the spurs office goes the same route and draft one of the french prospects.They seem to love
those type of players.

[CorrectCrusader]

[SpursFan86]

Draft Harper, avoid Beringer, and no trading 14 if it means only getting future draft capital in return. Those are my main points of emphasis.

Bryant/Coward/Sorber have settled in as my top 3 mostly realistic targets at 14. If we come away with any of those 3 guys I’ll be ecstatic. Clifford/Fleming are probably just below those guys - trading down a few spots and still getting either of those 2 would be a nice win as well.

[KobesAchilles]

My official 2 picks that I want.
Edgecomb and Demin. Now that we have amazing player development coaches I think it would be ok for us to choose the guy with the highest upside. I have no idea how much Edgecomb will develop in Philly but I do believe he is capable of becoming a top 10 player within 5 years time.

I also like Demin bc of his size and passing ability. At 14 we are pretty much getting a bench player. A legit 6’8 player with amazing court vision is hard to find in any draft. He won’t be much of a defender and he needs a jumper to say the least, however I believe this team is missing connectors from its big men and just imagining him running our offense in the future brings excitement to the loins. In 5 years time he could be our Bobo.

[Guru of Nothing]

How upset will this board be if we take McNeely?

[RC_Drunkford]

Good morning spurs nation. Tonight is the beginning of a dynasty.

let‘s make the playoffs first before we talk about dynasties again

[RC_Drunkford]

Players I want to be drafted before our #14 pick:

Beringer
Dairy Queen
Essengue
Fears
Richardson
Wolf
CMB

We've only got Sean Sweeny (who are the other amazing player development coaches?), but he could leave quite quickly (I hope he stays for a while, though, and possibly take over from Mitch if he falters) if he gets a head coaching job. I like Mitch, but he hasn't proven yet that he can develop players. Having said that, I hope it was just Mitch being hamstrung last season and this season it's different and he's able to do what he wants, and for it to have great results.

[Guru of Nothing]

Players I want to be drafted before our #14 pick:

Beringer
Dairy Queen
Essengue
Fears
Richardson
Wolf
CMB

Beringer, Wolf, and CMB are difficult to gauge, but I think they will still be on the board at 14. Seeing some buzz about Wolf moving up - 7-footers who can dribble/pass/shoot can be sexy (Danny Wolf and sexy is a rare word combo).

I'd be shocked if anybody picked Richardson before 14. I think he goes to Orlando as a consolation prize for Walter Clayton Jr.

[mo7888]

How upset will this board be if we take McNeely?

I'd be thrilled if we got him at #14. Perfect fit actually.

[LeBowen]

Givony was on Windhorst's podcast and said Spurs loved Harper for years and that trading down or picking someone else wasn't even considered.
Offers were made, but Spurs didn't consider them seriously.

[LeBowen]

I don't get it why some people have the need to just keep digging themselves deeper.
KOC just needs to take the L and move on.

[poopbox]

I just hope we draft Harper and get one of Maluach, Sorber or Coward at #14 (or move up)

If we get Maluach there is a 100% chance my wife gets pregnant with our 3rd child tonight.

[benefactor]

Just curious: Would you take those over Bryant or are you assuming, that Bryant is gone for sure at #14?

Bryant
Maluach (I don't see him falling to #14 even though the Hawks probably took themself out of the teams drafting him)
Fleming
Coward
Essengue
Sorber

(not including other guys that will be gone for sure)
I think Bryant will be gone for sure. Between him and Maluach there is no wrong answer in my opinion. Both would be home run picks

[poopbox]

I don;t understand why the media is so hung up on the spurs not trading the number 2 pick...because almost no team ever trades the number 2 pick. :rollin

The spurs don't do what 98% of teams don't do in the exact situation. Let's talk about it all day every day.

[benefactor]

If we get Maluach there is a 100% chance my wife gets pregnant with our 3rd child tonight.
My wife isn't able to get pregnant and I would get her pregnant

[LeBowen]

If we get a wing that's expected to be in the rotation right away, someone has to go.

Fox/Castle/Harper at guard positions with some minutes for Vassell as SG.
Vassell/Keldon/Champ/Jeremy/Barnes with 96 minutes available + leftover minimal SG minutes.

Even if we don't get a wing, someone has to go.
Champ and Barnes are the only two who are a seamless fit with our guards.
Devin is also a decent fit if not for giving up too much size.

If we get Coward he'd be expected to contribute right away, but who's the odd man out?

[Leetonidas]

1937868581544345792

KOC doesnt know shit about fuck when it comes to the Spurs

[Seventyniner]

I would seriously consider turning in my fan card if the Spurs trade Harper in a package for Jaylen Brown. Disgusting to even think about.

[Ariel]

Please no long term developmental project that is a weird fit like Essengue. Egor Demin could potentially be a star if he shoots it, but it may not happen for years if at all, and in the meantime the clunky fit with all the on-ball, non-shooters already in the team will put the Spurs in a diminishing returns type situation, where none of them will be put in the best position to develop, which requires proper spacing around them. So unless you're extremely confident his shot will come along pretty damn soon, I'd pass.

So at this point I'm leaning towards some of the cleanest fits, whichever the Spurs feels most comfortable with their question marks and concerns: Beringer (offensive game?), Sorber (long term health?), Carter Bryant (real shooting ability?), Cedric Coward (injury concerns? ability to stay in front of quick perimiter players?).

I'd also consider a trade back, something like 14 for 19 + 22 from Brooklyn, or 14 + 38 for 15 + 24 from OKC (unlikely unless we picked their guy right in front of them), or 14 for 17 + future swap from Minnesota, if you can get one of the players I listed above plus that second pick to use in someone like Drake Powell, Rasheer Fleming, or Kalkbrenner.

[Ice009]

Wow. Interesting that the Spurs have been following him for a while. It sounds like they've followed him more than they followed Steph.

[Seventyniner]

How often do the Spurs follow players for years and then don't draft them? I guess it's rather often cause that's the job of the scouting department.

I would be more worried if the Spurs draft someone they hadn't scouted extensively beforehand.

[Ariel]

1937868581544345792
This is a nothing burger, KOC just speculating on what makes sense to him (like taking Killian Hayes first overall) but there's no information here.

[jjspur]

Its pretty much a given that Harper will be the #2 pick. The #14 pick is anyone's guess since it really depends on who is still actually available at that point. The spurs may want a particular player. but if he's already gone ....oh well -next. What I'm pretty confidant about is that when the spurs are about to make that 14th pick ESPN/ABC will go to a commercial and keep us in suspense a bit longer.

[benefactor]

Maluach is the only player that really excites me when it comes to the possibility of getting him. I would trade up for him honestly. Spurs would have the best interior defensive tandem in the NBA. I feel like his intensity would rub off on the players around him as well. Every second he is on the floor he's playing with bad intentions on both ends and in transition.

[vy65]

Really don't understand the Sorber hype at all. Seems like a slightly more mobile Roy Hibbert. Doesn't address the need for shooting - which will become more acute once we get Harper. If Coward is there and they take Beringer or, even worse, Sorber, it won't be good.

[Manu20]

I'm completely sold on Harper. Sometimes I forget we landed an all star PG in Fox which will pay dividends down the line for the development of Harper and Castle. Fun years ahead for us Spurs Fans!!!

[Mr. Body]

My sleepers are Demin, Queen, and Jakucionis. I think Queen and Jaku go much earlier but Demin is my sneaky pick. No, I don't think they are perfect fits.

[LeBowen]

It's simple.
Our team is suboptimal if we don't improve wing shooting, but it's manageable.
On the other hand, if we don't get a legit backup big, the team just can't function whenever Wemby isn't on the floor.
Then you look at the available bigs in free agency or via realistic trades and there isn't much out there. Especially if you take into account that quite a few other teams are also looking for bigs and are offering way bigger roles.
Why would for example Capela join the Spurs to play 15mpg when Lakers are desperate to get anyone and he'd surely play more minutes there if he's not completely washed.

[ulosturedge]

Coward
Sorber
Essengue
CMB
Beringer
Fleming

In that order for me.

[Mugen]

Not a big Maluach fan considering that the Spurs would have to give up assets to trade up and get him tbh. I'd rather just take a swing at Sorber if they're deadset on a big though that foot injury scares me.

I wouldn't be crazy shocked if the Spurs were willing to use one of the Atlanta picks to move up, they seem to be losing value as they've hit on some trades (Dyson Daniels, Porzingis, Levert) and picks (Risacher) which, barring injury, likely gives them an easy path to the playoffs in the disgusting landscape of the East. If Maluach isn't taken top 6, I wouldn't be shocked if a team like New Orleans or someone in that range (except for Brooklyn) moves back for 14 plus one of those picks.

[SpursFan86]

You don’t see why getting a slightly more mobile Hibbert would be exciting at 14? Hibbert was a top 3-5 rim protector in the league for a few years and was a 2-time all-star (albeit definitely more on the borderline status then some slam dunk lol).

I think people vastly overestimate the average value of a 14th pick. Let’s say Sorber ends up becoming either a top 3 backup big in the league, or an above average starting center with the Spurs moving Wemby to the 4. You’d have to be thrilled with either of those outcomes. Also don’t necessarily think those are Sorber’s ceiling, but the point remains.

If someone thinks the Spurs should prioritize a wing that is a solid shooter that’s fine, but if a player like Sorber hits his median or above average outcome it would definitely be a great pick.

No, not if there's a prospect like Coward there at 14. Shooting is much more of a need for the team than rim protection since we have this guy named Wembanyama

[Ariel]

My sleepers are Demin, Queen, and Jakucionis. I think Queen and Jaku go much earlier but Demin is my sneaky pick. No, I don't think they are perfect fits.
All on ball players with questionable defense and, most of them, also shooting (except for Jakucionis). Not saying they won't pan out, but it will make for a very difficult development process. Spurs need to balance their desire to get another high upside prospect with the reality of developing those already on the roster (Wemby, Castle and, hopefully, Harper).

[SpursFan86]

No, not if there's a prospect like Coward there at 14. Shooting is much more of a need for the team than rim protection since we have this guy named Wembanyama

Yeah and we watched our defense utterly crumble every time he went off the floor last year. I’m not denying we desperately need shooting. But another legitimate center who can take some of the load off Wemby is absolutely another big need. Especially if these rumors that Wemby and/or the Spurs would rather not put him at center are true…not sure I believe them but yeah.

Sure, but they're all multi-skill, high-IQ players. I get the point about having enough high upside guys, definitely, but I'd have trouble holding off if they appear with the last lotto pick we may get for a long time.

Also, disagree that they are on-ball. Each has great secondary playmaking characteristics, which are a Spurs staple.

[LeBowen]

No, not if there's a prospect like Coward there at 14. Shooting is much more of a need for the team than rim protection since we have this guy named Wembanyama

We got that guy for ~33mpg, the damage other teams do in 15mpg without him is worse than anything another good shooter could make up for.

[John B]

Players I want to be drafted before our #14 pick:

Beringer
Dairy Queen
Essengue
Fears
Richardson
Wolf
CMB

I like your take. Any of those would send Sorber or Bryant to Spurs lap.

[vy65]

Yeah and we watched our defense utterly crumble every time he went off the floor last year. I’m not denying we desperately need shooting. But another legitimate center who can take some of the load off Wemby is absolutely another big need. Especially if these rumors that Wemby and/or the Spurs would rather not put him at center are true…not sure I believe them but yeah.

I get it. I'm not saying that a backup big isn't a need. But, shooting is a bigger concern considering that Fox/Castle/Harper rely so much on penetration. Without bona fide shooters, defenses will pack the paint and contest what should be one of our strengths. I have no faith at all in Vassell/Johnson/Sochan being better than average shooters on a consistent basis. That leaves Wemby and JC.

We already have the league's best rim protector in Wemby. Offenses lean more towards shooting than finishing at the rim. The utility of a shot-contesting big at the rim - who's going to be a rookie and not likely to be all that effective - is just outweighed by the need for shooting. Plus, I struggle to doubt that we can't find a stop-gap big in FA/trade market. Think another Biyombo - who'd be much better suited at ~15 minutes a game as the backup.

[vy65]

We got that guy for ~33mpg, the damage other teams do in 15mpg without him is worse than anything another good shooter could make up for.

I don't see it. More shooting opens up the offense, which would be much more of a driver for wins than 15 minutes of average or sub-average rim protection.

[John B]

I wouldn't be crazy shocked if the Spurs were willing to use one of the Atlanta picks to move up, they seem to be losing value as they've hit on some trades (Dyson Daniels, Porzingis, Levert) and picks (Risacher) which, barring injury, likely gives them an easy path to the playoffs in the disgusting landscape of the East. If Maluach isn't taken top 6, I wouldn't be shocked if a team like New Orleans or someone in that range (except for Brooklyn) moves back for 14 plus one of those picks.

Would you give either ATL pick back for their #13?

[Leetonidas]

So if the Spurs are going to trade up for Maluach who will probably be gone by 10 and is likely to be drafted in the 6-10 range, who can we trade with? I don't see much that WAS, NOP, BKN, or TOR would be interested from us unless you want to cough up future picks. Phoenix needs a big badly so I imagine if he's there at 10 they'll take him

[LeBowen]

Plus, I struggle to doubt that we can't find a stop-gap big in FA/trade market. Think another Biyombo - who'd be much better suited at ~15 minutes a game as the backup.

Lopez, Capela, Horford, Looney, Drummond, Plumlee, Kornet, Bryant, Hayes are the FA options. I'd say that's pretty fucking awful, with Kornet/Horford probably staying in Boston.
We're obviously gearing towards playing a high tempo game, we can't expect a veteran like Lopez to run up and down the floor.
There aren't many trade targets, either.
Poeltl, Gafford or Claxton would definitely cost #14 pick, Kessler even more.

Aldama S&T is our best bet, but he's more of a PF/C.

[Ariel]

Would you give either ATL pick back for their #13?
26 is a swap, so I don't think doing away for the swap gets you 13. Atlanta's 27 could be interesting, but to be honest I don't see a prospect there that I'm crazy about, so unless the board shakes up in a certain way or it helps you get something else accomplished (say, you give back Atlanta their 27 in in exchange for some other team's future unprotected pick, like Sacramento's) I don't think I would right now (but, again, I could if a specific scenario presents itself).

[Pauleta14]

Still hoping PATFO finds a way to trade up to get Maluach

I'll own it if I'm wrong but he's the most exciting prospect after the 2nd pick to me

His pairing with Wemby could be amazing

[LeBowen]

I don't see it. More shooting opens up the offense, which would be much more of a driver for wins than 15 minutes of average or sub-average rim protection.

The issue is that even if we don't get a shooter one of Vassell/Champ/Keldon/Barnes/Sochan won't get enough minutes and I'd get rid of one of them except Champ because of his great contract.
Add a rookie wing into the mix who's expected to play right away and we need to get rid of two players.

[Ariel]

Aldama S&T is our best bet, but he's more of a PF/C.
Please not Drummond, Hayes or Plumlee. I was for Plumlee last year to play some minutes and help Wemby, but at this stage Spurs can do much better. The rest I'm definitely interested in as cheap stop gap center, if we don't land a better option through other means. Also, Aldama is not a center.

[R. DeMurre]

I think people vastly overestimate the average value of a 14th pick. Let’s say Sorber ends up becoming either a top 3 backup big in the league, or an above average starting center with the Spurs moving Wemby to the 4. You’d have to be thrilled with either of those outcomes. Also don’t necessarily think those are Sorber’s ceiling, but the point remains.

If someone thinks the Spurs should prioritize a wing that is a solid shooter that’s fine, but if a player like Sorber hits his median or above average outcome it would definitely be a great pick.


Totally agree... i think people naturally dream of a hitting on a future Giannis or Kawhi, but those outcomes are incredibly rare. If Sorber becomes capable of leveraging the positive impact of a guy like Bitadze or Kornet, he'll be a very worthwhile (and likely inexpensive) asset.

[Ice009]

It's going to cost a lot to get Maluach.

How high up would the Spurs trade/do they think Maluach is worth picking at what number? For example, would they take him at 3rd if trading with Philadelphia and taking PG13's contract (not saying they should do this, though)? They may prefer a different player if they trade up that high.

Then which teams/waht are the highest spots other teams are willing to take him at? I have no idea what the earliest spot he'll go at. Anyone could take him.

[Russ]

No, not if there's a prospect like Coward there at 14. Shooting is much more of a need for the team than rim protection since we have this guy named Wembanyama

Rim protection comes in twos.

[vy65]

The issue is that even if we don't get a shooter one of Vassell/Champ/Keldon/Barnes/Sochan won't get enough minutes and I'd get rid of one of them except Champ because of his great contract.
Add a rookie wing into the mix who's expected to play right away and we need to get rid of two players.

If you're consolidating 2+ of those on your list for a shooter, then I feel less strongly about Coward > Sorber. But as for minutes

Wemby: 28
Fox: 28
Castle: 28
Sochan: 25
Vassell: 25
Johnson: 25
Barnes: 25
Harper: 20
Champegnie: 20

Still have 16 minutes left for a rookie and that's with some of these being overstated - I don't think JC will get 20 minutes a night for example.

Sorry, but Wemby and Fox aren't playing less than 32-34mpg.
You can't reduce #2 pick to 20mpg.

[Mr. Body]

Castle played 26 minutes last year. Harper won't get less than that.

[LeBowen]

Windhorst is saying that multiple teams with a top10 pick in the draft are making offers for White and Brown.

I feel like his intensity would rub off on the players around him as well. Every second he is on the floor he's playing with bad intentions on both ends and in transition.

100% chance we get stories on Thursday about how the Spurs spent all week trying to move up to get Maluach but in the end teams were demanding Sochan as part of any trade package and the Spurs just couldn't bring themselves to do it :rollin

From the time we drafted Lonnie until now we always get a "Spurs tried to move up but" story the day after the draft

[RC_Drunkford]

If we get a wing that's expected to be in the rotation right away, someone has to go.

Fox/Castle/Harper at guard positions with some minutes for Vassell as SG.
Vassell/Keldon/Champ/Jeremy/Barnes with 96 minutes available + leftover minimal SG minutes.

Even if we don't get a wing, someone has to go.
Champ and Barnes are the only two who are a seamless fit with our guards.
Devin is also a decent fit if not for giving up too much size.

If we get Coward he'd be expected to contribute right away, but who's the odd man out?

1. Branham
2. Wesley

that's it. That's the list.

Tbh, your belief that noone will get traded is a good thing because you're way off the mark with most of your trade predictions.

[RC_Drunkford]

Maluach is the only player that really excites me when it comes to the possibility of getting him. I would trade up for him honestly. Spurs would have the best interior defensive tandem in the NBA. I feel like his intensity would rub off on the players around him as well. Every second he is on the floor he's playing with bad intentions on both ends and in transition.

I think there is a lot of smoke to this. 2 workouts and trying to sign Royal Ivey who's South Sudan's headcoach? I still don't expect us to land him. cause moving up costs to much.

[RC_Drunkford]

Really don't understand the Sorber hype at all. Seems like a slightly more mobile Roy Hibbert. Doesn't address the need for shooting - which will become more acute once we get Harper. If Coward is there and they take Beringer or, even worse, Sorber, it won't be good.

Hibbert was a DPOY runner-up. I take that any day.

[John B]

I hope the Jazz draft him to set his ass straight. What is he doing to do? Sit out?

Would you pick him up if he dropped at #14? He’s a positional need and could be a strategy to pair with buddy Dylan.

If so he could turn up to be a Spurs

[pRoshi]

We made it to draft day men, super excited to see what happens after the 2nd pick. I'm about to have my own New York style pizza party for this shit.

[Mugen]

Givony's final mock draft has the Spurs taking Beringer at #14 with Coward and Sorber still on the board.

That'd be a disappointing outcome tbh.

Spurs love getting too cute with their picks so I am expecting them to take Egor Demin at 14 :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

So if the Spurs are going to trade up for Maluach who will probably be gone by 10 and is likely to be drafted in the 6-10 range, who can we trade with? I don't see much that WAS, NOP, BKN, or TOR would be interested from us unless you want to cough up future picks. Phoenix needs a big badly so I imagine if he's there at 10 they'll take him

I mentioned in another thread that there was some interest from the Spurs about RJ Barrett. Toronto is definitely trying to move this pick. I just don't see what the fuck they would want from us.

[John B]

26 is a swap, so I don't think doing away for the swap gets you 13. Atlanta's 27 could be interesting, but to be honest I don't see a prospect there that I'm crazy about, so unless the board shakes up in a certain way or it helps you get something else accomplished (say, you give back Atlanta their 27 in in exchange for some other team's future unprotected pick, like Sacramento's) I don't think I would right now (but, again, I could if a specific scenario presents itself).

Would you give up ATL 27 to get #13, and offer both #13 and #14 to move-up to get a Sorber? I would.

I doubt they are trying to trade him or Brown at all. But they are still in the luxury tax with only 8 players under contract, so this call is probably made by the owner.

[exstatic]

No, not if there's a prospect like Coward there at 14. Shooting is much more of a need for the team than rim protection since we have this guy named Wembanyama

Cowards defense might be worse than Sochan’sshooting.

[scottspurs]

My Final thoughts and predictions


Pick #2 will be Dylan Harper. He met with the Spurs twice. Once in San Antonio and once in New Jersey. He has already been in contact with Stephon Castle and Jeremy Sochan. If you watched his pre draft interview yesterday all the questions and answers were geared towards the Spurs. This may be the last time the Spurs pick this high until those pick swaps in 2030 and 2031. Have to take advantage of that and draft the best talent available. I do think there is a slim less that 5% chance someone calls the spurs while they are on the clock. To trade the pick it would have to be an epic haul. Highly unlikely.


To me the next pick comes down to a couple of scenarios. I’ve been preaching rebounding all off-season so I’m gonna say the spurs try to fix this. They have clearly been searching for Bigs.


Scenario: Trade up for Khaman Maluach: I don’t love the fit but who am I to say it won’t workout. They worked him out twice. I don’t think they would give up a lot so it’s unlikely but possible. His size in theory will help the overall defense and rebounding.


Scenario: Stay at 14. Going to stick with the rebounding theme. These are the most likely candidates in my opinion if the Spurs stay at 14:


Thomas Sorber/Joan Beringer: I’m unsure who the spurs would have higher but with all the smoke of the Spurs hunting for bigs these seem like the most logical choices. Both are former Goalies that will protect the rim and help with rebounding.


Cedric Coward/Nique Clifford: Cedric Coward is my 2nd favorite prospect in this class behind Derik Queen. His story is amazing and he comes across as one of the most competitive and hard working players in the draft. He also helps with rebounding out on the wing. Only two wing prospects graded well as rebounders from this class. Cedric Coward and Nique Clifford. Nique Clifford is an older prospect that has gotten zero connections or buzz to the spurs. I find it hard to believe this Derick White Swiss Army knife level player would not be on the spurs radar despite his age.


Liam Mcneely: he didn’t visit with the Spurs from what I could find but the Spurs could easily have gotten all the info they need from UCONN and Montverde Academy. Both schools do a good job of steering their players towards desirable NBA locations. If there is a CIA POP draft pick this is it. Can’t say I love it but he does help with rebounding and shooting. His shooting splits before his injury and role change were extremely good. His defense is very iffy but then again we have Wemby right.


I don’t really see the Spurs picking anyone else at 14.


Scenario: Trade back from 14 or up from 38: Spurs could get wiped out at 14 in which case I think they will pick Liam Mcneely if no fair deals arise. These are the trade back/up candidates:


Liam Mcneely see above


Maxime Raynaud: Obvious ties to the Spurs I’ve already gone into great detail about. Helps with rebounding


Noah Penda: Big boy would be the bigger version of Keldon Johnson bringing energy off the Bench and rebounding


Danny Wolf: this one scares me but it’s possible. Helps with rebounding and playmaking


Rasheer Fleming: his game is very basic offensively but he helps with rebounding, defense and shooting


Will Riley: Super sleeper CIA POP pick


Scenario: trade out of the 1st round. I could see this happening especially if they get wiped out at 14 and can’t find a trade back partner. I think they can easily find a team to give them a similar package to what they got from the Timberwolves last season. A unprotected 1st and unprotected pick swap.


Final predictions:


I think the Spurs pick Dylan Harper and Thomas Sorber.


Harper is the obvious choice and there is way too much smoke about the Spurs searching for bigs. I think the foot/toe injury scares off just enough teams to help Sorber slide to 14. The biggest threat is a OKC thunder trade up in which case I think the Spurs will pick Beringer. My guess is that doesn’t happen though. Thunder want to keep all their draft capital or they won’t find a trade partner. Spurs will end up with Sorber and the Thunder will pick my dude Cedric Coward with the next pick sadly. I’ll be hyped for this draft from the Spurs though. Hope everyone enjoys their night! Go Spurs Go!

[Ariel]

Would you give up ATL 27 to get #13, and offer both #13 and #14 to move-up to get a Sorber? I would.
No, Sorber is fine as a late lottery pick, he's not worth 2 late lottery picks. I might entertain that for Tre Johnson or, perhaps, Kon Knueppel, and I'm not even 100% sure I'd do that.

Kasparas seems like a smoke screen for the Celtics. I dont doubt they're trying to get into the lottery but why leak who you're targeting tbh.

[exstatic]

I get it. I'm not saying that a backup big isn't a need. But, shooting is a bigger concern considering that Fox/Castle/Harper rely so much on penetration. Without bona fide shooters, defenses will pack the paint and contest what should be one of our strengths. I have no faith at all in Vassell/Johnson/Sochan being better than average shooters on a consistent basis. That leaves Wemby and JC.

We already have the league's best rim protector in Wemby. Offenses lean more towards shooting than finishing at the rim. The utility of a shot-contesting big at the rim - who's going to be a rookie and not likely to be all that effective - is just outweighed by the need for shooting. Plus, I struggle to doubt that we can't find a stop-gap big in FA/trade market. Think another Biyombo - who'd be much better suited at ~15 minutes a game as the backup.
Both Fox and Harper are good catch and shoot 3 point guys, so if all three are in there, Castle can be the on ball creator.

[Mr. Body]

Guess I'd say:

good with Sorber, okay with Coward, probably have him above Carter Bryant

not okay with Beringer at all, that would suck

good with trading back and plucking a McNeeley type

the players I'd probably grab if they slipped, as said, are the likes of Demin or Queen, Jaku but I think Jaku goes earlier. They're flawed but too good to miss.

The part of the draft I'm mostly looking forward to is when the Spurs select somebody unexpected at 14 and for a while we won't know if they're trading him or not. F5 won't work on ST, per par.

[R. DeMurre]

I have to wonder at all of these rumors surrounding D White and Brown. There's no guarantee that Tatum even comes back post achilles injury at the same level. It'd be a risky move to think you can rebuild around him from the ground up. I wonder if any GMs out there are exploring trade offers for Tatum, even knowing he'll be either out and/or reacclimating for the next 18 months... That would be a dramatic & interesting story.

You really have no shame.
You just keep shitting on everything and when someone calls you out with arguments that show how retarded your takes are, you switch topics and keep shitting as if nothing happened.

That's because you guys have hilariously bad basketball takes.

Being called out by people who don't know what they are talking about isn't being called out.

When you have 6 straight losing seasons you should probably be "shitting on everything". It's not possible to be that bad that long with anything working. The only possible way to have that many losing seasons in a row is to whiff on draft picks whiff in free agency and whiff on trades.

It's like this take of "let's emulate OKC". Ok fine. Step 1 is trading your second best player ( Paul George for OKC ) to another team for a player on a rookie contract with MVP potential ( SGA from the Clippers ). Our second best player is Fox. Who are we trading Fox for that is on a rookie contract and has superstar / mvp potential? And if the answer is we are not going to do that, then how are you emulating OKC? Because if you are not willing to do the first step that OKC did to build a title team, then your not "emulating OKC". And no building around Victor like they built around SGA is not "emulating OKC" It's actually completely impossible because if how wildly different they play basketball. The type of team you need to build around a scoring guard is not the type of team you need to build around a two way face up big.

I have no doubts you could get Jaylen Brown with like 90% of the Giannis package. If the Spurs offered the number 2 pick and Castle I 100% thinks Brad pulls the trigger on that, even though Jaylen should go down as an iconic Celtics player ( literally drafted to the team when it was utter garbage and ended up winning a title with them ) . Of course the Spurs shouldn't be doing that deal. I bet you don't even need to add Castle just the number 2 pick plus salary filler would get it done. Spurs don't need to be doing that either.

I know everyone is focusing just on the money saved but getting below the second apron also means the Celtics can now aggregate players without issue in a Jaylen Brown deal. Would have been almost mechanically impossible to trade him when they were in the second apron. Not so much now.

Tatum will probably be mostly fine in 2 years. He doesn't play an over the top athletic game. Would be pretty wild for somebody to try and "buy low" on him though. His 300 million dollar contract starts this coming season to.

[R. DeMurre]

If the Celtics hadn't already started tearing down the rest of the team with the Jrue and Porzingis trades it would be interesting to think about. No way they do that now, even if it would have made sense on paper.

Honestly, I don't see it as tearing down. I've liked Jrue for a long time, but he's 35 now, showing clear signs of decline, and expensive. Trading him at this point for a younger scorer and a huge dollar savings feels pretty reasonable. Porzingis has major health concerns, is also paid a lot, and is about to turn 30, which considering his injury history could be a milestone year, especially since Boston views next season as a gap year without Tatum. I'd say that considering the specific situation the Celtics are in, these trades are both pretty smart moves.

[PhantomDashCam]

According to CBS, some teams have discovered Jase Richardson has a troublesome injury history with one of his legs. They think he slips to mid-low 20s now.

[Guru of Nothing]

Could be for sure…but might also explain why he didn’t get a Green Room invite.

I saw early in the cycle that Dylan Harper had a procedure on his leg pre-Rutgers/post HS. Never was brought up anywhere, and I’m sure it’s quite common, but it’s something teams would undoubtedly scrutinise.

Honestly, looking down the road a bit, he might look very good next to Harper, which would give us options with Fox/Castle. He's a small two, but Dylan is a large 1 and that translates.

[Marco]

TaT has Spurs drafting Essengue at 14. We're doomed, if true.

[KobesAchilles]

Spurs love getting too cute with their picks so I am expecting them to take Egor Demin at 14 :lol
I really hope we do tbh. Dude is going to be a great role player for years to come.

Also I don’t see the Sorber hype either. To me he is like a slower version of Jalen Smith that everyone on Spurstalk was super hyped about.

[CGD]

But seriously though… are the Nets really drafting FIVE kids tonight?

[LeBowen]

But seriously though… are the Nets really drafting FIVE kids tonight?

Why not? They're tanking for another season, might aswell take 5 swings. If they hit on two, it'd be worth it.
Right now they have Cam Johnson, Claxton and Mann on the books.
The rest are rookie contracts.
They'll look to take some more bad salaries this summer.

I would not mind Jase in the 20s. His 6'6" wing span should help to offset being only 6'0" tall.
How many point guards do you want on the team?

5 though? That has to be some record if they do it.

There is some rumbling they’d trade 8 and some of those for 4. But is that really enough to get to 4?

[heyheymymy]

Not worried about the 3 "guards". Don't view it as a log jam. You are going to have off nights, DNPs, foul trouble, matchups and getting game planed out. Two is one and one is none. Fox/Harper/Castle can not only coexist, they can thrive together.

[Mr. Body]

Wild prediction.

PHI - Edgecombe

CHA - Knueppel

UTA - Fears

WHA - Ace

PEL - Maluach/Queen maybe

This leaves a player unexpectedly tumbling a bit that the Spurs badly, badly want, and who they were heavily going to go for trading up before they got the #2.

Who is this player they may be throwing a lot in to get?

[BacktoBasics]

If I have a pick in the 20s it's Fleming or McNeeley

Just seems like McNeely has failed to impress anyone.

i'll actually be hooping at my Wednesday night league but i'l definitely be checking my phone every chance that i get. afterwards, we'll throw down a few cold ones while discussing the draft.

[exstatic]

If Bailey is available at #14, would you take him? He seems making efforts to fall and land to a desired team, Spurs??

Spurs are the last place he should want to be. He wants the star role, but wouldn’t be any higher than 4th option.

My thinking is that he wants either the Wiz or the Nets,two teams with no star. Unless you’re dying to have this terrible finishing, mid range fool on your team, let him fall to you, and don’t surrender assets.

Those picks don't seem that wild tbh? I'm assuming you're hinting at Tre Johnson and I'm not sure if the Spurs were super enamored him with considering he seems like a Devin clone tbh. I think they would have picked Kon/Maluach/Tre if they didn't move up to #2.

[LeBowen]

My hot take would be that either Sixers or Hornets trade down so Nets can get Bailey.
Despite what the reports say, Daryl Morey will always be a liar.

[exstatic]

Wild prediction.

PHI - Edgecombe

CHA - Knueppel

UTA - Fears

….


None of those are wild. Utah has been on Fears for weeks. Kon was the only top player to work,out for CHA. With Ace allegedly tumbling, Edge is the natural choice at 3.

[CorrectCrusader]

But seriously though… are the Nets really drafting FIVE kids tonight?

A starting five all getting new contracts at the same time would be hilarious

Not my point, lol. :lol

But yes, a player who was thought to be top 4 is now looking like he could go 7 or later. Who is this? And I think this is the player the Spurs are smokescreening attempts to get Maluach to cover for.

Here, I'll try it again. This has all been in plain English. Lord knows this country is in trouble: people can barely read anymore.

There is a player the Spurs may be after. The reports are that it is Maluach. I believe this is a smokescreen.

This is a player who has been rated pretty highly that has been tumbling just a bit down the lottery.

THIS player is the one I think they may really be after.

Holy fucking shit, I always really thought this board was full of some of the stupidest, dumbest people around. I'm not talking about the exact order other than to point out that a player who was thought to be out of reach for moving up NOW NO LONGER APPEARS TO BE OUT OF REACH.

I've said this multiple times and you fucking braindead idiots still don't get what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is that the Maluach rumors are a smokescreen and who the Spurs are trying to move up to get is fucking TRE JOHNSON.

NBA helping Khaman Maluach navigate legal situation amid State Department action against South Sudanese citizens (https://hoopshype.com/rumor/nba-helping-khaman-maluach-navigate-legal-situation-amid-state-department-action-against-south-sudanese-citizens/) On April 5, hours before the Blue Devils lost in the national semifinals of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and nearly three months before the NBA draft, that future appeared in flux. All visas held by South Sudanese passport holders were being revoked, the State Department announced. Questions immediately arose about whether Khaman Maluach would be eligible to be selected. But thanks to a little-known division of the NBA few have heard of, he’s set to walk across the Barclays Center stage (https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nba/nba-draft-khaman-maluach-duke-south-sudan-rcna213634) in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday night.
– via NBC

(https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nba/nba-draft-khaman-maluach-duke-south-sudan-rcna213634) At each stop, the NBA’s international operations team worked to smooth his travel from one country to the next, just as it does with all of its international players. That work continued this spring after the State Department’s action against South Sudan, (https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nba/nba-draft-khaman-maluach-duke-south-sudan-rcna213634) as Maluach stayed in the United States to train ahead of the draft. “We’ve been on this journey … with Khaman since age 14, and we’re going to continue on this journey with him through the rest of his career, and we’ll continue on this journey with him post his career,” Troy Justice, the NBA’s senior vice president and head of international basketball, said. “These are lifelong commitments that we make to all of our international players.”
– via NBC (https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nba/nba-draft-khaman-maluach-duke-south-sudan-rcna213634)


(https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nba/nba-draft-khaman-maluach-duke-south-sudan-rcna213634)

As Maluach’s lone season at Duke ended, the NBA began paperwork for him to receive a B-1/B-2 business tourist visa, which is pending, according to the league. Should Maluach be drafted Wednesday or Thursday as expected, the NBA will begin the process of acquiring either a P-1 visa — the typical professional athlete visa for the United States — or the Canadian version if he is drafted by the Toronto Raptors (https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nba/nba-draft-khaman-maluach-duke-south-sudan-rcna213634).

[stnick2261]

Man 2025 is Night and Day from this years draft at least on paper will see what happens when they actually lace it up next season. I am hoping we get 3 picks something like 4, 9, and 11, sounds realistic to me of which I would love the following players;

1. Dylan Harper - SG, 6’5
2. Tre Johnson - SG, 6’5
3. Hugo Gonzales - SG, 6’6
4. Nolan Tralee - PG, 6’4
5. Egor Demin - PG/SG, 6’7
6. Liam McNeeley - SF, 6’7
7. Noa Essengue - PF, 6’10

I went back to some old threads (specifically finding my Liam McNeeley post from 5-20-2024). A lot has changed since then, but some of those names are still in play.

[exstatic]

Not my point, lol. :lol

But yes, a player who was thought to be top 4 is now looking like he could go 7 or later. Who is this? And I think this is the player the Spurs are smokescreening attempts to get Maluach to cover for.


Holy shit you barely have a third grader's reading comprehension. What the fuck. Are you brain damaged?

Top 4 for 99% of this draft cycle has been:

Flagg
Harper
Ace
Edge

The only one tumbling is Ace.

What the fuck is all this fighting in this thread jesus christ. It should be all about good vibes. Its fucking draft day. Y’all are putting bad energy into tonight



Don't you understand? It's **** WILD ****

[Russ]

My two cents:

#2 --- Dylan Harper

#14 -- Thomas Sorber, Carter Bryant

Worthy Consolation Prizes -- Asa Newell, Noa Essengue

Don't Really Want -- Derik Queen, Khaman Maluach, Cedric Coward, Colin Murray-Boyles, Rasheer Fleming, Nique Clifford

Wild Cards (likely unavailable) -- Egor Demin, Kasparas Jakucionis, Joan Beringer

#38 -- (most likely unavailable but one or more will be) Ben Saraf, Hugo Gonzalez, Bogoljub Markovic, Noah Penda, Maxime Raynaud, Lachlan Olbrich, Will Riley, Alex Toohey, Rocco Zikarsky

[Mugen]

Jazz and Pelicans are the weirdest teams in the lottery IMO. They're the biggest wild cards.

In theory they should both ship out their All Star forwards (Lauri/Zion) and try to tank again for a pretty stacked '26 draft. But it doesn't feel like they're going to do that until maybe post trade deadline.

My "wild take" is that Zion ends up being a Laker or Clipper within the next 18months tbh.

[Mugen]

This will get lost in the 100+ coming pages today, but I like a lot of players who happen to be mocked between our picks. If we could trade 14 & 38 (&future 2nds) for 19, 22, & 26... I'd take 3 of: Sorber, Demin, Fleming, McNeeley, & Reynaud.

[Joseph Kony]

I doubt we trade our best off ball shooter for a one year rental.

he would likely be re-signed if Spurs actually made that trade and we get out of DV's shitty contract while freeing up backcourt minutes. win/win

[Seventyniner]

What is John Collins worth on a one year rental?

If it wasn't for the Power Of Friendship! I would say Keldon + Branham + #38 + another future second. That would be against the Spurs character and the Jazz might get better offers elsewhere anyway.

#2- Harper
