Future Spur Tari Eason has declared for the draft.
Wizards and NY aren't tanking. They've won 2 and 4 consecutive games, respectively. The tanking line is clear, and it starts with Portland and includes anyone with currently higher picks.
Passing Lakers puts us at 9, and passing NO would put us at 10.

For the Dyson Daniels’ fans…
Hype in full effect here in Australia.

Dejounte will be happy to have another Seattle guy in the locker room. He’ll have to change his # though.
Been spending the last few days watching clips of potential draftees and guys…. John Butler from FSU! He’s really interesting imo, 7ft 1 and actually moves like a guard. Would love the spurs to gamble and grab him with one of their picks
…if he declares…and if he attends the combine
Tari Eason at some highlights looks like either Paul George or Dante Cunningham. lol If the Spurs consider to pick him, hope he has a good at ude and work ethic. He got the tools but not sure if his skills will translate in the NBA since he looks stiff sometimes and struggles how he control the ball but yeah, too early to tell.
Given where we’ll be drafting, I think these will be our top 3 targets:
1. Tari Eason
2. Dyson Daniels
3. Jeremy Sochan
Daniels and Sochan are both 2 years younger than Eason and that could obviously sway the Spurs. But I really think one of these three will be the pick.
My hope is that there are some risers in this years draft and a guy like AJ Griffin or Keegan Murray fall to wherever we’re picking.
Imo take the best player available at our pick and with the other picks maybe address team needs

Eason had the same defensive impact stats at two different schools, so he's clearly not a product of a system
But I am concerned about his ability to play big with that frame. Either he has the lowest shoulders attached to a torso I've ever seen or an unusually long neck and trap combo
Do people really think we’re going to select and keep 3 first rounders in one draft?
no! Having the capital is gravy though
No. I think Spurs will try to package 2 or 3 picks to move up in the lottery (probably to target a PF like Keegan Murray). I just don’t think any teams will take the bait.
If/when that doesn’t work, I think they’ll either try to trade some combination of their last 3 Picks to move up further in the 1st Round after their 1st pick.
If that doesn’t work either, then I think they’ll trade one of those picks to a team like the Lakers for a future 1st, or draft-and-stash a European player like Nikola Jović if he falls to our 2nd pick.
They certainly won’t keep all 4 picks but there are scenarios with potential draft and stash candidates, where I can see them keeping all 3 firsts…

I will say no first but there's a scenario where they draft three guys with one draft and stash.
If no one wants to trade with us, then we will have no choice. However we have the draft and stash route which I believe is not desirable this draft.
There are 8 teams without a FRP. From the group, you can safely eliminate the two LA teams, because they are each in heavy future pick debt, due to dumb trades. You can also almost eliminate Boston and Toronto, as we just got picks from them. That leaves Utah, Philly, Phoenix, and Cleveland.
There are also often teams that want another FRP to take a chance on a player outside of the lottery. You leverage a future first from them, and a second as the convenience fee.
Great strategy ! Lets really take advantage of some bonehead GM.
I think I said in another post that I expected to see them around 11 or 12. It looks like 11, unless they win a couple of play-in games and move all the way out of the lottery.
Quite the divide. I truthfully have only watched hi-lights and PG was the first player comparison I saw. I know nothing about college ball though.
I posted back in December that I thought he would be a great choice for our 2nd round pick. I've never seen a 7 footer get his butt so low and move his feet on defense like he can do. Likely has a lot to do with being a coach's son.
This draft seems top heavy and loses steam very rapidly after top 10. And I don't think the top is all that heavy. Almost every year, though, it seems like there are very good players who get missed - the Herb Jones types. I don't mean stars, but really good role-players.
I'm down with going for a Tari Eason type, if he checks the boxes on character and fit. We need a high motor banger at the PF spot.
Gotta hand it to the scouting team of the Pelicans-- the trio of rookies they landed are impressive: Trey Murphy lll at #17, Herb Jones at #35, and the undrafted Jose Alvarado.
Yeah, New Orleans and Memphis have been doing some good drafting lately.
