It's like ESPN has a league directive to over the Spurs any chance they get.
Spurs with none of these guys …
noteworthy that all these are ball handlers who can create their own shots and for teammates…
I definitely like the Spurs recent focus on defensive upside and hustle but let’s get a scorer or two … this list doesn’t even include rookies like Halliburton and Lamelo or guys buried in awful tanking teams like Shai who also have that potential. And not everyone may pan out who fits that type, but they have to gamble on some scoring potential.

It’s actually like the Spurs have never had a pick in the range to get any of these guys, except Brooks, and they got bounced in the first round, anyway.

I’m still drinking the kool aid. So much upside for the modern NBA game.
What nba skill does he have?
Lol Dillon Brooks. Give me a ing break.
I saw a guy at the mall today with a tshirt that not had one word on the front:
Besiktas
We’re totally drafting Sengün.
Some Spurstalk names in there…
Cade doing a pro day? Sponsorship opportunities?
10 days until the lottery... I think I'm actually more excited for this off season than I was for the regular season.

We have reached single digits - 9 days till the draft lottery.
Well, when talking about a young player in the second round with upside, you’re looking for flashes, otherwise he’d be profiled for earlier in the draft, right? But for him: defensive versatility and shot making are what I see great glimpses of in him. Sort of a modern 4. Mobile, great lateral movement, huge wingspan, strong defensive performances already. At least one game with big offensive production. He looks to have a scoring mentality.
Not a single ring in this pic.
I like Mann, but I’m starting to like Duarte more. I’ve got a feeling he’s bigger than listed, and combine that with those skills he already has, he could turn out to be quite the player. Only if they’re able to get another pick in the first round, of course.
Lists Klay & Kobe as players he models his game after.
Not unexpected but think this will cost Giddey as far as draft stock is concerned.
IMHO, he could very well slip into the 20s now.
Not yet at least, those are all 25 and younger guys…
If Giddey performs well in Vegas, I don't think his absence from the combine will be significant. And I'd be surprised if he dropped into the 20s.
Yeah. It's usually not a sign of weakness to skip the combine. In fact, it's kind of the opposite.
That should scratch him as a prospect.
The question though is how much will he be playing in these exhibitions?
Like most National teams (and even our own Spurs), they tend to favour seniority.
The Aussie team is one our deepest yet and he may only get sporadic minutes to showcase his game.
The combine wouldn’t be a great place for Giddey from the athletic measurement point of view but think he would ace the interviews, intangible aspect of it.
If you start lumping prospects together on your board and are looking for any ‘criteria’ for separation; does a lack of accessibility and up to date information sway your choice? I think it would have to, at least to some extent.
7 days until the Lottery
44 days until the Draft
I really like Giddey. He reminds me of Joe Ingles, Ben Simmon, Luka Doncic. He can pass as good as Luka and Ben. He’s plays no D lol but has high iq. Luka plays no D as well. He just needs to shoot and attack with confidence similar to Lamelo. How he fits on this team idk but he is a talent
he'll definitely get scouted in Vegas:

Plus, I think it says something that Giddey is on such a loaded Aussie team, being that he is just 18.
