    He’s not perfect, or complete. If he were, he wouldn’t be a late first rounder. We have rebounding, in spades. What we don’t have is ing SHOOTING. His goddammed shooting line is 50/43/93.

    Perhaps we’re being a bit nit picky?
    We were 22nd in rebounding this season with Aldridge getting alot of those.

    Any chance you can expand your list to what we might be looking at in the second round?

    BTW, you put in a lot of time and do some exceptionally good work for the board. Far better than most of the learned big name national guys as well as the dim witted local guys. We appreciate your work and efforts!
    Man, I can already predict what’s going to happen with the second rounder. The Spurs are going to draft someone and Wright or whoever the mouthpiece is is going to say, “he was high on our board, we couldn’t believe he dropped”.

    I will make a list later on. Honestly, I think it’s going to end up being someone who is a pure shooter like Wieskamp.

    Aldridge hardly played at all. Might have been the reason we tailed off. Most of our guards and wings are either good or very good rebounders.

    My observations from the Klutch Pro Day:

    - As expected, very much 95% glitz/puff and 5% sizzle.

    - Moses Moody looked fantastic. Seemingly hit every shot he took. Fundamentally, very sound prospect.

    - Kai Jones was at times otherworldly, and at other times, Raw, just needing seasoning.
    Looks absolutely cut - he might have put on another 5-10 pounds of muscle, ran the floor faster than anyone there (Mike Schmitz said he used to watch Kai run suicides prior to Texas games and was astounded at how he moved), shot the ball well for stretches but did miss a few in a row here and there from 3.

    The thing that stood out though was just how engaged and positive he was with the other prospects and their performances.
    I guarantee you, like Keldon, would be a joy to be around seemingly at all times.

    - Jalen Johnson’s athleticism really stood out. He threw down a through the legs jam, finishing with his left seemingly taking off just inside the free throw line. He made it look so effortless. ESPN showed off their mock and again thought he would be perfect with the Spurs.
    His shooting though was very iffy. Shot seemed to change on every 3 he took.

    - BJ Boston is a weird one to get a read on. Moves well, fluid but it was strange watching him shoot.
    He tried to take jumpers about a foot behind the 3 point line, top of the arc - and really struggled with the distance for the first 5-6 attempts.
    Weird that you would want to show that off in this environment.
    An NBA strength and conditioning program will do wonders for the kid but he’s at least 2 years away.

    Edit: You can see the JJ dunk in this mini highlight reel.
    FWIW, Lonnie was taking in the sights sitting next to Jordan Clarkson.

    Hard to believe he’s just 18, I’m starting to put him higher on my list.

    Thanks for the recap, Moody was my favorite from the start and is still up there. I think he has a high floor and will be in the league 10 years.

    The day he jumped up my list is when I realized the X factor component stars have is the boldness to try crazy . He has that.

    Yep and I think you might be conservative on the 10 years too.

    I’m not sure he pushes a team like the Spurs forward but I can absolutely see him thriving with say Indiana or GS.

    Kid looks like he's slimmed up. Growth spurt maybe?
    Yeah, he slimmed up fast. That is significant. Not sure if it improves his game a ton, but he’s definitely motivated.

    More from Dean on Draft. Some unorthodox views but after reading, he sounds insightful, reasonable, and better informed than most sites.

    Positive comments on Wagner, Giddey, Sengun, and, trigger warning, Jaden Springer, as the #10 prospect. He makes a good case for Barnes and, with caveats, Jalen Johnson.

    He sees it as a 12 player draft, which is good for us.

    Reflecting again on the season:

    If we put aside “Pop being Pop” and try to decipher the madness of it all,

    recall this past season and how many times a play was drawn up for Patty, either for the game winning shot or out of a short shot clock possession

    you have to ask why? Outside of being the veteran on the team, why choose Patty?

    Answer: because he was our reliable shooter.

    Something tells me this is not a long term plan to always rely on Patty being the go to guy for buzzer beaters.

    Vassell could very well grow into that role OR they could draft another guy like Patty (not necessarily an undersized shooting guard) who can be relied on to shoot and draw up plays for.

    Sweet move. Great to see there's a lot of interesting players that could be falling to the Spurs in this draft...

    Slower release than Kyle Anderson. Hard pass

    Will see what happens but I think If Giddey or Sengun are still on the board when the spurs pick, they’ll select one of them imo

    It's an interesting site. He's willing to go out there on some things. Look at what he said just before last year's draft.

    That's it for me, too. They each have question marks, but they have talent that can transform the team and push it ahead. Don't know what the FO is thinking though.

    I thougth Giddey was cut from the Australian team?

    Same I think the pick is either going to be Sengun or Goodey. I wonder if the Spurs are doing everything possible to get both, that’s why we are hearing that White or Murray might be moved.

    Seems like ST gm’s are set on two players I don’t buy at all. Sengun and Giddy. Ugh.

    I have watched about 1 minute of Giddey, but he doesn't look all that quick.

    Of course, I have only seen a minute of him lol

    He seems more right than wrong, but has high standards, which isn’t a bad thing. I like his writing.
