PFs who can shoot and defend and run and jump and rebound and defend the rim
If they can’t shoot then they are monsters
We need 2 PFs
The open growth plates theory on one hand is an example of how combine measurements, and in this case, theoretical future measurements, can get ridiculous in evaluating a player. Having said that, yeah, it would probably help him to be taller and larger due to his lack of burst.

Primo will be ok.
The back end of our roster is ass. Landale can't finish or defend, KBD can't shoot, and Wieskamp really showed nothing at the NBA level. I don't know what Langford's deal is, if he's really got hammy issues or if they're holding him out to give Lonnie a shot to show out in his FA year. Lonnie is occasional breathtaking drives, mixed with endless minutes of nothing, and sub par 3 point shooting. If we can come up with halfway decent replacements, I wouldn't miss any of them.
Our LOTTO pick has been eh
Leaving the centers alone
Dougie McNoD KBD and Wieskamp and that other dudes are chaff
Landale is ass, too. The only current bench guys I like are Zollins, Trey and JRich. Cacok is an elite rebounder, can score a bit in the paint, and doesn't seem to get lit up on D, but I don't really have a read since he doesn't play much. The two new 2ways haven't even played for us.
If you can't find a player who projects as better than Landale, Wieskamp or Keita Bates-Diop picking 10-25, then trade the picks away. And fire your scouting staff while we're at it.
I’m not a fan of either backup center but as a three headed not so scary monster I hold my nose and go OK. Do not overpay for any of the centers!
Zollins is WAY better than Landale. He's a slightly better shooter, and a FAR better rim protector. If you didn't watch the Dallas game, he roofed Chriss at the rim, and intercepted a lob.
Well I guess I am not agree with thinking Zollins is all that. I am no salary expert but at his rate of pay he is OK.
The Aussie I think has Oberto qualities and would be better served by being on an intelligent team. He does not do well on D.
Zollins does get credit for sticking his nose in there. He gets abused a lot though.
I think the centers on this team are what they are-nothing special. Jakob has improved.
Obviously can't say with certainty a precise height, but he's clearly much closer to Wieskamp (6'5.75'') than he is Walker IV (6'3.75'') and he also appears closer to them in terms of weight (205 as opposed to 190).
I see a lot of yall listing lineups but not putting Vassel in there. Are yall thinking he is gone. I see lonnie gone KJ at the 3 probably vassel at the 2 and maybe primo backing up the 2/3. bjones backing up murray. We would draft a 4 or sign one during FA. I think us playing bigger at the end of the years show they are looking at going back to KJ at the 3 and looking for more big help.
no, Vassel is the going to be awesome for us hopefully for a while. He’s the next Bridges-type IMO.
Primo will make the jump in 2 years. I think he’ll be special.
I love Keldon, but the reality is he needs to be in the supersub role.
Lonnie’s time with the squad seems to have run it’s course, though, I can see the team giving him a contract to “preserve the asset” for trade purposes later.
Keldon is literally the only player who shoots the three at a good clip, AND finishes throughout contact at the rim..
Keldon is a keeper just for his roughhouse style. I am amazed his 3 ball stayed at a high percentage
Got to get him at the three and get 2 real PFs
That’s great for the starting 4 on this 10th seed squad, but the reality is spurs need a better solution at that position long term to make the jump they want.
Keldon would be the perfect 6th man on that future team.
Why should Keldon be the sub. He is one of the better players on the team. If he plays SF next year he will be even better. Part of the issue is he gets tired playing against the bigger players all the time. He can do it for a little bit but it wears on him throughout the year. That is why he has started playing better since he has moved more to SF. His defense is even better then it was earlier.
Why do people want to keep lonnie around. you dont keep an "asset" (not really an asset if noone wants him) that no other team is willing to give things for to get. We would either have to play him to hopefully get his value up or sit him on the bench which does not increase his value. If we play him and we cant trade him then it is wasting time for other players. I also dont think we would be able to trade him since no one would give us anything this year. Keeping lonnie also means one less roster spot for one of our picks.
Sniffer triggered
Idiot triggered.
I am ok with the team at four of the five spots for now tbh (1,2,3 and 5), the 4-spot needs to be improved desperately and that will have positive flow-on effects such as moving Keldon to his natural SF position, and moving McDermott to the bench as the backup 4 which suits his skillset. Making these two lineup changes alone improves the starting lineups rebounding and defense, two areas its severely lacking.
Improving the 4-spot has to be the main goal of the draft surely. The Spurs have a couple of options here. In the order of likeliness;
Option 1: Keep the projected 9th pick and take Sochan or Tari Eason as your future 4.
Option 2: Trade up to the 4-5 range in the draft and pick Keegan Murray. This will cost you assets such as an established player and/or the Spurs other two 1sts projected at 20 and 24.
Option 3: Keep the projected 9th pick and take the best player available which may be Mathurin, Sharpe or Griffin (depends who the Spurs like) and continue to play undersized at the 4 spot next season.
Option 4: Pick Jalen Duren and trade Jakob for a PF. I think OG Anunoby is gettable as they have Siakam and Barnes at the 3/4 spots. Not saying the Raptors take that deal straight up but I think they're definitely looking for a C.
Between McDermott, Langford, Walker, KBD, Wieskamp and Cacok at least 4 of them should be gone next season. Keldon will be the 2nd option and the Spurs should draft 2 PFs.
Add Landale also. I’d be okay go see none back.
I was hoping Landale would be better. I like his 3P shooting. For that alone, he has some perhaps minimal role. But if we get actual power forwards, he would be on the outside looking in.
Aww don't be so hard on yourself bein a sniffer doesn't make u an idiot
