He just feels like a Spur. I bet PATFO will love him during the pre-draft process between his game and his high character. Could even see us trading one of our other firsts to try and move up and grab him if we fall out of the top 7.
Right now my two top prospects are Ivey and Holmgren, who has such a great group of skills and is shooting .465 from three right now, although his frame is questionable.

Same. I have Ivey first and Holmgren second. Then Jabari, Paolo, and Shaedon Sharpe to finish off my top 5. Assuming those guys are all gone, Murray, Mathurin, and maybe even Duren (if we fall around 8-10) would be my next targets.
So everybody‘s been saying this is a weak draft, but some say it‘s a deep one. I know it’s hard to predict how players develop, but what is it? Is this class better than last years or the year before?
Oh he is a traditional big since he is 7'1 he kinda reminds me of Poodle as far as body and height - But he is a lot more aggressive on offense always calling for the ball when he is making cuts to the basket and when he has a mismatch on him. On defense he moves pretty good for someone his size you would not want him out of the paint but guys are not going to easily fly by him going to the basket - He also is a real..REAL good shot blocker so he may get beat but he knows how to funnel the player where he either has to pass the ball or try a shot and get rejected
If the Spurs are looking at moving Poodle I would definitely get him with the Raptors pick if possible as he has been climbing the mock draft boards lately.
Hard to tell. I see it as potentially better than last year, but it requires brushing away the hype. Last year the press morons were all about Jalen Green and Kuminga when the top player was probably Scottie Barnes or Mobley and I'm not sure either of them is a star (leaning toward Barnes). This year the hype is going to Banchero and Jabari Smith and I have doubts about them. Basically, the NBA press is awful about hyping the wrong players or just hyping in general.
Also, ESPN is always going to hype its interests, which is the ACC, somewhat the SEC (especially Kentucky), and anyone but the Big Ten (for example). I think they have some interest with Ignite. There are 3 top prospects from the Big Ten in the top 8-10 this year.
Agree. But you play Holmgren like Durant, more like a SF/PF instead of banging inside, which is Spurs position in need. I think Spurs have a good chance to get him or trade up for him if he falls to 4 spot (hopefully).
Damn that’s like Nowitzky outside shot, who can either shoot over or blow by his defender.

We have enough guards.
Not like him.
You don’t pass up D-Wade because you want to draft a team need like the Pistons did with Milicic.
Luckily, Ivey is maybe the only G/W I’d draft over a F/C at the top. There are more talented F/C’s than G/W’s at the top so that’s good for the Spurs if Ivey is gone.
My latest board:
1. Banchero
2. Ivey
3. Chet
4. Eason
5. K Murray
6. Baldwin Jr
7. K Brown
8. Mathurin
9. Liddell
10. Dyson
Also remember that next years draft is the double draft so if someone wants one of picks and we dont have a player maybe we can trade one for 2 picks next year.
Stocks don’t have odds. The lottery drawing does. Nothing that’s happened in the past 3 years is a major aberration, so you can kind of count on one or more teams jumping into the top 4 on a regular basis.
Kessler is an elite shotblocker, look like the best in this classe. He started to develop his 3 pt, imo He could develop into a better version of poetl.
He was a top prospect coming out of HS and I understand why.
I like your board. I may up Baldwin and Mathurin a little bit.
This draft looks way better than last year's (which isn't saying much). A good draft to have three first round picks.
Another player to keep in mind (other than J. Smith, Holmgren, Banchero and Ivey) is AJ Griffin, Banchero's running mate at Duke.
The good news is that all of these guys are on top 4 college teams so they'll be in a lot of big games to watch the next few months.
This draft is the year of the SG but after the top 3 bigs it's pretty weak in everything else. If I had to grade this draft on position it would probably be..
PG. D - I see no PG in top 10 and maybe 3 in the first round?
SG. B+ - Not elite talent but a lot of very good players
SF. F - Maybe two or three player in the entire draft
PF. C- - Besides big three not much after that at all
C. C+ A couple of decent big I have my eye on

It can be weak at the top, only one or two blue chippers, but have a very full and complete first round, with little drop off after the first 7-8 picks.
Jalen Duren and Memphis about to upset #6 Houston on the road. He’s had a solid game with 14 pts & 10 boards on 5/7 shooting. Had a couple nice dunks and a big put-back jam late. Have to remember he’s a year younger than most the Freshman in this draft. Should be a Senior in High School as he just turned 18 in November.
He’s got a long ways to go in terms of offense but his upside is as high as anyone in this draft outside of Chet imo. 6’11 250 lb athletes like that don’t grow on trees. His size, athleticism, coordination, and defensive potential can’t be ignored.
Forget marfans anyone who doesn't take Chet #1 is going to look like a moron.
whats the point of getting a lottery pick if u aint going to throw him big minutes, instead under popa he will be dump on the bench and gleague...then u look at other teams in rebuilding phase are playing their young rookies alot to speed up the learning process...
I know you have this weird vendetta against Ignite players but Kuminga is the real deal
Warriors already have their next superstar in place
he barely needed to take off for that nasty dunk
He looks pretty good. Hold your roll on the superstar business. Good lord, it's a ing dunk against the Lakers.
