Btw, if he had a shot and averaged five more points he would be the number 1 pick.
Look at Kawhi's rookie year. His form looked bad too. Plus, Kawhi has had zero hops his entire career. Precious could literally be a dunk champion. He disrupts players with his long arms JUST like Kawhi did. That is a rare skill very few players have in the NBA.
Precious has a unique blank canvas to work with.
Wingspan
Athleticism
Rebounding
Can initiate a fast break
Euro step
Hustle
Defense and switchability and can guard 1s
Strong. Wont easily backdown from strong post players
This is the pick to make
Btw, if he had a shot and averaged five more points he would be the number 1 pick.
If he had all of that, he’d be a top 3 pick. I’m sure all 30 teams just missed it, though.
Appreciate your sarcasm but He does have it. Watch the tape. His video interview with draftexpress is a good one. Ever wonder why Kawhi went 14?
Precious is a better prospect than DeAndre Hunter, Rui Hachimura, Cam Reddish of last year.
Because he had a bum ankle during workouts. There were projections that had him in the top 5.
Find me one of those, even in this ty draft, and I might believe in your precious Precious.
Find you what?
You need to trust your eyes instead of projections, especially when theres no tourney to go with. Now more than ever, projections would be extremely unreliable.
Not saying I want this guy but he has been trending up in multiple mock drafts. For awhile he was around 17 - 20 he is now 12 - 14 take it with a grain of salt.
We need to look at how the Spurs have drafted in the past. They usually go for the physical freaks like Murray, Kawhi, Lonnie, Samanic when they want to go for a home run. Not average athletes like Vassell, Naismith.
tube clipA projection that has your Precious projected as top 5 in this ty draft.
Anyone can put together a YouTube clip that makes them look good. People are actually paid to do that for players. That was why I like the old DX site so much. They did two videos on each profiled player: strengths and weaknesses.
Watch this all the way through:

I dont see any projections for Kawhi being top 5 in a google search.
Like I said, projections without a tourney are meaningless even by people who are paid to do it
Do you know how much a players stock rises and falls after the tourney? A LOT
That just shows you how pointless it is to rely on that this year.
The clip I provided mostly shows his defense. Use your eyes on this clip for offense:

He seems like what everybody wanted Metu to become. Just a high energy rim protector/runner. If he could keep adding to his game he could become scary
I'm kinda coming around to hoping Hayes falls to them and seeing if you can get a 3nD for white
Big difference is since Metu's rookie year youve been hoping he would bulk up but it hasnt happened.
Precious is a tank. He also has better driving ability. Ive never seen Metu go coast to coast.
Precious models his game after LeBron and KD. Calls himself an all around point forward. Video from two years ago:
https://youtu.be/c7z_Dut4Deo
Started hooping in 8th grade. A late bloomer.
I think Murray plus the 11th pick could do it. The T-wolves might bite as they have the 3rd and 16th picks. So they would Be adding Murray and 2 mid-first rounders to their team.
but I’m not sure I want to trade up. Who do we need to trade up for? Edwards and Wiseman will likely be gone by the 3rd pick...which leaves LaMelo and Obi. I’d rather have Halliburton than lamelo. Haliburton will likely get picked up by Chicago at 7. I like Obi but not sure I’d trade up for him. Would rather wait and see if something crazy happens and Halliburton or Obi fall to 11. And if they don’t then just pick Vassell or Nesmith or Bey and call it good

I'm officially on the Precious bandwagon. If he can truly play as SF, he'd be a beast. How successful he is or isn't with the Spurs will largely depend on whether he can develop a shot though - we've already got way too many players that can't reliably knock down the long ball, and the NBA doesn't seem to be hopping off the 3pt chuckfest train anytime soon. A starting unit of DJ/Lonnie/Precious/Luka/Poeltl as the "future" simply lacks shooting and spacing, and will not be up to par until the young players learn to reliably make 3's and space for each other, something Pop has hardly been encouraging these past seasons.
Welcome aboard! Lets see if others start to see what we see.
Anyone can put together a clip that makes a player look like a superstar.
I like him just not at 11 he is a very good defender but he is an older rookie who doesn’t have an outside shoot. People keep saying oh just coach him up to hit the 3 ball even with Chip it is easier said then done.
Youre like a brick wall. You didnt even try to watch the videos. These are breakdown videos and not typical highlights. They even show weaknesses. Arguing with you is futile. Youre lazy as who just has baseless opinions who dont try to dig deep into anything. Shallow thinkers disappoint me. Thanks for wasting time here.
The first video i provided was from DX. Literally the draft website you praised. Youre a ing idiot, exstatic.
Siakam entered the NBA when he was 22. Just saying.
His shot looks suspect. He'd be a Jerami Grant ceiling player?
If so, not bad, but too safe a pick i'd say.
