One of the youngest prospects in the draft
Quick reaction time? This sounds way too familiar…
Fantastic article on Dyson:
https://www.thestepien.com/2021/11/0...dyson-daniels/
Daniels described himself with the four words “compe ive…honest…fearless…and smart.” His rapid improvement from 2020, balancing physical growth with skill addition, makes additional improvements seem highly likely.

Isn't Daniels an Ignite player? I'd be wary of those guys. They tend to know nothing about team basketball or even standard semi-advanced basketball skills that involve other players and Ignite sure as ain't gonna teach them otherwise.
Watch the video above and read the article. His history before the Ignite team was being part of teams with lots of spacing and passing.
I don't buy it. And Ignite will kill that good. Big warning signs when a guy signs with Ignite.
Uh…okay. This is equivalent to saying ya won’t try your friend’s cooking because they used peanut oil. Not a very open minded statement at all. I get the hate for Ignite, but this black-and-white answer for everything? Almost reminds me of hardcore QAnon conspiracy theorists.
nother name to watch/keep an eye on is Kendall Brown. Considered the best athlete in this draft class, and at 6'8 with a 6'11 Wingspan, he has alot to offer! He's probably my 3rd best Wing/PF in this class. He also fits in perfectly with out young guys, can run, and attack, and the dude is fast!
The defensive upside is huge, he's be able to guard 1-4s.
Offensively, there's work to do.
He's like DJ, good defenders and slasher, but needs to improve that offensive game. I see Aaron Gordan type of upside, when Gordan was first drafted.

One of my favorite prospect tough his last games were not that good. I talked about him a few weeks ago.
I watched Baylor's last game and i really think Brown is playing at 50% of his potential, Baylor plays really collectively and he's a little bit hidden in this team.
I didn't study Daniels a lot but i like the fact that he's mostly in control. Looks like a complete player.
Dyson also looks like he has grown from his previous measurement. He looks like he towers over Marjon Beachamp. I think he’s at least Vassell’s height now.
Not to mention that the Ignite is done for this year. They were only in the gleague cup play, pre-Christmas. They, and the MC Capitanes won’t play the regular season.
They will not play their scheduled games in january ? they also played yesterday vs mexico city.
If we land outside the top 6 I am hoping for SG Bennedict Mathurin who can score from anywhere and is a shooter we desperately need. As far as players like Hardy and Daniels I just can’t get a good read on G League players for what ever reason I do know they have the talent it just are they able to put that talent to use is my question ie: Walker - But I could see us swinging for the fence and picking one of them
After that it’s kinda a toss up:
Brown - Elite Athlete but can’t shoot is young but........
Keegan Murray - A good PF but will be 22 when season starts
To me the exciting part starts in the second round who told Detroit they could start winning games? They have bumped us to the 31 pick two games ahead of Magic.
Another climber that I really like is Tarri Eason he had a monster game against a very good Tennessee team with 24pts, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks.
A name to watch after the top PF/C( Holmgren, Smith, Banchero). Still need to improve his shot but really good defender, good athlet.
Another name to watch, Harrison Ingram 6-8, 230 lbs from Stanford. Not totally impressed but he plays as a point foward, he's improving his 3 pt... still young and interesting.

They don’t show up on any schedule, or in any standings I can find. Are they just playing the Capitans? Washington generals to their Globetrotters?
https://ignite.gleague.nba.com/
I just find this schedule with some games in january but not sure if it's correct.
There’s something very abnormal about Chet’s body. It’s even worse than Poku and I didn’t think that was possible. If this wasn’t the case, he’d easily be my #2.
my big board, or order of players I’d like the Spurs to draft no matter where they land in the draft:
1. Banchero
2. PBJ
3. Dyson Daniels
4. Jaden Ivey
5. Keegan Murray
6. Liddell
7. Tari Eason
8. Jovic
9. Mathurin
One player you and others will probably like is AJ Griffin, son of ex NBA player Adrian Griffin.
He was injured at the beginning of the season, He's playing more and more and he starts to be in good shape . Strong foward 6-6, 222lbs. Can do a little bit of everything.
Really good prospect.

My board would be the following for first round:
1. P. Banchero
2. JBS
3. J. Ivey
4. Chet
5. B. Mathurin
6. J. Davis
7. D. Daniels
8. A.J. Griffin
9. K. Murray
10. K. Brown
11. N. Jovic
I would be happy with any of the above players.
For second round Detroit’s pick I like the following a lot will change depending on who comes out and who stays in college.
1.Josh Minott
2. Mark Williams
3. Walker Kessler
4. EJ Liddell
5. Christian Koloko
6. Ismael Kamagate
7. Max Christie
With the Lakers picks:
1. Tristan Vukcevic
2. Jason Tchicambound
3. Trayce Jackson Davis
Interesting player have not watched a lot is Zach Edey dude is a giant 7’4 not sure if he has foot speed though???

I really do appreciate the insight from a-lot of you folks on this topic as I don’t follow college ball.
I think the strategy still needs to be draft the best player available wherever the lottery ball drops. It is comforting that best available player and our positions of need potentially, closely align with the amount of 3/4s on most top 10 lists.
Please, please just draft some size
Agreed. But it's feast or famine when it comes to bigs in this draft.
The good news is that the consensus top three draftees are all skilled bigs (6'10-7'0"). Just what the Spurs need.
The bad news is there is a huge drop off in quality bigs after that. Feast or famine.
There are more high-potential first round "tweeners" than usual. But the Spurs (and most other teams) are not lacking for those guys. (One of those 6'5"- 6'8" guys could end up being the best in the draft but my money is on the top three -- it looks like a pronounced tier, compounded by the fact that it also aligns perfectly with the Spurs' needs.)
This lottery could be the biggest for the Spurs in years.
We certainly need size but shouldn't come at the expense of talent and scoring so best available player for me. We are going to have 3-5 chances for lottery picks these next few years and no one will be plug and play.
Agree, looking at draft and if Spurs pick most talented player I still think it’s about 70% chance we end up with a SG or SF. Which is disappointing but my thought process is increase our talent pool by each draft and this pick should be our first or second best player on the team depending on where we draft.
Your right this draft is extremely light on bigs ie Centers, but even more for athletic PF who can shoot they like Unicorns in this draft maybe 3 or 4 players counting first and second rounds. If we do take a SG/SF I wonder if we go for an upside Center with potential at Detroit’s pick?
One thing fir sure is that as end of season get closer your really going to see teams tanking very hard it’s all about the odds of getting that first pick.
That’s old thinking. The bottom 3 teams have equal chances, and #4 is just a smidge behind. In the three drafts since the re-shuffle, teams have been knocked OUT of the top 4 like 8 or 9 times. It’s not even close to a sure thing that if you finish in the top 4, you’ll draw into the top 4.
