At least we know where all the bricks to build the new stadium are coming from. That kind of savings doesn't count against the cap.

Ingram looked much better. But yes, the Spurs' fascination with buttershots is annoying and predates Wright being the GM.
Don't worry, these guys likely have no future with the Spurs.

Oops, sorry, yeah.
That Nunez pick has me on tilt. I want to like him and the passing highlights are fun but how are you going to draft the worst PG athlete ever who can't even shoot free throws. The .
I'm just going to pretend that second round didn't happen, tbh.
Im just more annoyed that they aren’t getting more creative with their 2nds. Non-shooters? Ok, I kind of get if you think the guys have nba quality period. But we are seeing some decent players had for 2nds so why not take a swing on something like that with some of these especially when you have 5-6 guys that can easily be replaced if they faced compe ion?
Will we be getting a free agency article soon Timvp?

Pretty similar to round 1 tbh…
My guess is the Spurs FO is prioritizing multi-use players who can process the floor at high and quick levels. For example, a Furphy only got 1.0 assists a game and it's not clear he can be a great connector on the perimeter or on the move.
Developing these players into shooters is another thing. But they appear to want those high-level processing types. Castle absolutely should be.
That's my guess.
That said, Nunez may have attracted them more as a stash and possible trade piece. Not having to pay new players / use roster spots seems to be key to them.
Ingram is just a mild swing at that kind of player. I doubt anyone cares that much.
I like Castle. Especially with the assumption that the Spurs will surround him with shooters. But picking now 4 non-shooters in a row after Wemby is pretty damn frustrating.
I don't know why you bother with Harrison Ingram when you have Cam Spencer or Tristan Newton available. Just on synergy alone with Castle, and they have the same background in multi-use abilities and high processing, plus are able to shoot.
I dont really mind the Ingram pick at 48. thats fine.
i'm baffled that they took a non-shooting point guard after taking a non-shooting "point guard" #4 overall. and a good shooting wing in Furphy was there for the taking
And to add on - my biggest “problem” with this draft overall: Spurs have so many holes, both from an attribute perspective (3PT shooting and defense) and also just meh talent and to have 4 picks and literally not address either of those things outside of Castle when you have 2 top 8 picks and one of the best 2nd round picks you can have?
I don’t understand with how this team is built that you can walk away with no shooting and more questions than answers than before the draft. Now everything for most part is on trades and free agency this year. Thats not a problem necessarily as Im putting faith that they have a plan to add another 2+ players to this team to help with these issues and challenge some of the make or break guys for minutes to earn, but man….
Ya - me too. I like Castle plenty I was just sort of saying that between him being a non-shooter and trading 8 for future picks you are left with literally the same problems in theory as the 2nd round issues but with at least more upside to soothe you in Castle.
Can't hurt Brickham and Wesley feelings. Signing players that can actually shoot means taking them out of the rotation. We don't do that kind of thing here.
I think it's notable that everyone at the euro camp had terrible results. I think it's likely that euro players aren't used to the tests or don't train for them or take them seriously
Nunez is slow on paper but when I watched him he didn't look terminally slow. To draw a comparison, I think he's better and faster with the ball getting where he wants to go than Josh Primo
Yeah, the first time I heard about the Wonderlic IQ test being one of the reason Knecht and Kolek dropped.
At least we got 2031 picks /s
You can go ahead and pretend that for last year, too.
It's a shame they couldn't trade up and get that Furphy guy.
No way a top 5 analytics guy was available at 35. Stop sniffing.
The Spurs will balance it out by signing a bad-D shooter and forcing him to get minutes. The Spurs draft two good shooters to go with two good defenders. They just traded the shooters away.
Look at the bright side.
At #35 they avoided picking (in addition to Furphy)
Bobi Klintman
Ajay Mitc
Nikola Djurisic
And at #48 they avoided
Melvin Ajinca
Ulrich Chomche
Take pleasure in small favors.
Wright just aint right.
