I think he could be in the discussion for the Celtics pick...
Saw on a mock draft of Spurs taking Ousman Dieng from France with one of the later first round picks. Anyone seen him play? Seen him in some 2023 mock drafts. He could possibly declare for this upcoming draft.
I think he could be in the discussion for the Celtics pick...
Raptors choke a big lead at home and lose in OT to the Lakers smh. Both those picks take a hit.
Looks like the Bulls are slumping also they will only be 2 losses ahead of the Raptors after tonight’s L against Phoenix. Looks like it’s Toronto Cleveland and Chicago fighting for 5 and 6 spots in the East.
Dark horse picks 8-10 :
TOR type prospects Dyson Daniels and Jeremy Sochan ( young enough that shot can be fixed in 2 - 3 years , playmaking+ , high level role players )
SAS type prospects Malakhi Branham and Blake Wesley ( productive young potential 2 way shot creators )
My first draft fancy might be Matteo Spagnolo. Tankathon has him mocked to SA in the second now, and after I watch some more I might even want him in the first. Haven't watched his defense yet, so I might end up hating him anyway.
In '15, they beat zero elite teams thanks to unprecedented opponent injury luck (not their fault obviously, but still), then forfeited the opportunity to have a chance to become a dynasty by begging the second best player of this generation to join them and turn the league into men against boys to win '17 and '18.
They had a relatively short period where they played at a dynastic level, but despite the media propaganda, they're not the genuine article.
so you agree they played at a dynastic level... They won three championships and posted seasonal win totals of 67/73/67.... That's dynastic. I'm sure if Durant had decided to join the Spurs in 2017, you wouldn't've had a problem with it. Geez, even if they don't win multiple championships their draft analysis is still impressive. Only a blind homer would say otherwise.

He's a late first round for me, he starts to shows some good things after a really bad start. Still a lot of work but the tools are there : 6'9 with a 7'0 wingspan, can drive, shoot. I have questions about the motor tough.
One of his last games highlights
Another guy we talked about, Jeremy Sochan. He was good in the first game of the MM for Baylor. Really Interesting prospect.
Some video clips of the game in this tweet.

If Keegan Murray is gone, Sochan is damn interesting. The way he’s described, loosely speaking, has some Bobo qualities. I know we need a scorer, but Sochan seems to understand basketball and could still have value on offense.
Sochan with our 1st pick would be pretty depressing tbh as he projects as nothing more than a role-player at the next level. But our choices may be limited since it doesn’t look like we’ll be selecting any higher than 8th and could drop to 9 or 10.
Geez, with Brown, Sochan, and Mayer at 6'8", 6'9", & 6'9", Baylor actually has better size at their wing/forward positions than the Spurs.
My guess right now is going to be Chet, Smith, Banchero, Ivey and Sharpe will go in that order for the top 5.
Kendall Brown and Jeremy Sochan have been very disappointing. Getting their asses kicked.
I think Duren will be in the mix in that range. He looks super promising, if still raw in areas.
What an awesome comeback from Butler. Sochan’s defense a big part of their 38-13 run.
Crazy game going on right now
Crazy indeed. I liked Sochan's defense and general demeanor.
Sochan is a beast on defense, has a foreign pedigree, and is already used to having to live in Texas.
This is why they need to attempt to trade up for Banchero. It's rare they might have the assets to trade up that high, he's the caliber of prospect where it's conceivable and he's a good theoretical fit.
If not, it's time to consider trading Murray. Not so much because he might not want to wait through a full scale re-build, but to maximize value. He'll be 26 at the start of next season and doesn't have the type of game that generally ages well. It doesn't make sense to continue to surround him with low ceiling role players and projects, who basically play the same position.
There's a distinction there, in a similar vein to players who were clearly on a Hall of Fame trek only to be derailed by injury.
Beyond that, the Warriors just didn't have a long enough run at or near the top to earn dynasty status.

I’m with you on that! Not a fan of him being a top 10 pick, but I would be pretty happy if he does the Keldon dive to one of the later picks.
If we traded down or up with our picks to be around 12-16 I would love Sochan. If we are at 8-10 I still prefer Mathurin, Eason, or Duren. I’d draft Kendall Brown with the third first round pick, I imagine his stock has taken a hit if he remains in the draft but the potential is there.
Carolina ahead by 3 nearing the end of reg and allowing a 2+1 shot by fouling Baylor shooter.
Is high BBIQ simply dead and gone from college BB?
(NBA too for that matter)
Either of you catch the super obvious out of bounds off North Carolina guy who dribbled it off himself?....
No challenge by Baylor.
Super key possession either end of reg or end of OT can't remember, but Baylor would get ball back down 3 or 2 (def chance to win or tie).
I heard announcer point it out. Did not hear, is this one of those super lame *cannot challenge* rules?
Sochan is a keeper, brown is Lonnie walker reboot!
Sochan stood out to me wow that kid was every where and an absolute beast. He moved incredibly well for a guy 6'9 230, he's one of the younger guys in the draft as well. I wouldn't mind getting him if he is still around for our later pick in the 1st.
