Jonathan Isaac?
Go get Eason. Kid's a beast.
Jonathan Isaac?
I keep talking about rim protecting, rebound since a long time ago : as we saw yesterday Spurs need that badly.
I hope they will securize a PF or 3/4 and a C in this draft.
PF( 3/4) :
Murray
Eason
Sochan
Pat Baldwin Jr
C :
Jalen Duren
Mark Williams
Walker Kessler
Christian Koloko
we also need scoring , that could come if we have some lottery luck with smith or banchero.
Barring a trade, we have 3 FRP's (and the Laker's second). Thus, I expect us to consider draft and stash for at least 1 international player (maybe 2). It's not actually a bad draft for that. There are at least 5 players that I would consider with our non-lottery picks (in no order):
Ousmane Dieng
Nikola Jokic
Gabriele Procida
Gui Santos
Ismael Kamagate
Matteo Spagnolo
Ziga Samar
Yes i totally see the spurs going with one or two draft and stash, if Jovic wants to stay in europe he's my target with a late pick. Dieng and Kamagate are the others in the first round.
Not a terrible option, but restricted and coming off a knee injury.
If the Spurs win the lottery and get the chance to draft one of Banchero, Smith, and Holmgren, I will cry tears of joy.
Zero chance. Isaac is a Conservative. Pop would never allow it
Hasn’t played in 2 years, entering his second year of a 70m/4yr contract and coming off an ACL tear and more recently a smaller hammy surgery. Also an outspoken conservative who almost assuredly would be castrated by Pop the first chance he got.
This is where I am at. I don’t think he lasts to our pick, and maybe we move up a bit to grab him, but after that game last night, I am of the opinion we need as many chances as possible to land elite talent. I would trade all the picks to move into top three but no one will do that. I think we stand pat and make all three picks. I’d like them to take that kid from NC State with Toronto pick if he last that long. We need a natural lights out shooter who can score at will. His tape looks incredible. Smith is the kid.
Well they could always go hire Enes (Freedom) Kanter for cheap. Pop would love him.Zero chance. Isaac is a Conservative. Pop would never allow it
I’d take a flyer on Isaac. But I’m only doing it if it’s part of a trade that means the Magic part with their premium pick this year and trade back and take one of ours. Not sure what we’d have to throw in to entice them. Too bad it can’t be Lonnie given his pending RFA and that plays out after the draft.
Funny, I came on here to throw out there a Jonathan Isaac trade and ya'll are already talking about it! I think if you can get him on the cheap you take the shot. Statistically, his defensive numbers (when healthy) are son par with Ben Simmons. I know he's coming back off a knee surgery, but so was DJ and he turned out okay. Plus his age puts him in line with what we're doing and headed into his prime. Why waste a late FRP trying to find a guy who can reach the level Isaac's is already at? If we could peel him away for the Celtics pick I say you take it and run.
And the whole 'pop wouldn't put up with him being a conservative' is garbage. Holt and Robinson are both conservative and he gets along with both of them. Plus he won't be here much longer.
Giving us a young defensive anchor aligned with our timeline and like a no brainer to me.
Isn't Koloko a horrible defensive rebounder? I think there was some tournament coverage about that. I like him other than that
We need a power forward and we need scoring, so the interest in Banchero, Jabari, and Keegan Murray makes sense and is preferable. At our likely draft spot we will not be able to get both in one player unless someone like Eason or EJ Lidell is better than we think presently and we go that route. So, I can't believe I'm saying that we still may have to end up drafting the BPA who will likely be a guard, like Mathursin (sic) or Johnny Davis if either are available. The third and perhaps more likely reality is that the Spurs will do whatever the they want. I see that as 50/50. It makes getting excited about the draft less likely for me, but we'll see. If they somehow get into the top 4, then that is a godsend, and honestly, something Adam should probably manipulate if there is any karma out there because the Spurs definitely earned it.
[QUOTE=PhantomDashCam;10718285]Thanks for this tip. Very helpful to narrow guys to look at when I feel like getting ready for the draft.
It's definitely something I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on to see what it would take to acquire him..
I am all for taking a chance on Isaac. They took it with Zollins and he was a more questionable talent with an also worrisome injury history but he was young and filled a need.
if spurs went with a big early in the draft, i'm starting to like the idea of mark williams instead of jalen duren.
You read my mind. Zollins is who I was thinking of when I was considering Isaac's. With his addition we could go big by putting him at the 3 with Zollins and poeltl or play him as a small ball center with vassel at the 3 and keldon at the 4. He provides versatility and a high upside of he can get healthy.
I prefer Williams as well but drafting Duren wouldn’t depress me either. They could probably move down a little to get Williams if they like him enough or move up.
Williams is skyrocketing up the board. I’d be shocked if he survived past 12 at this point.
Want is one thing, but anyone who thinks there's a legitimate chance of them drafting Duren or Eason is naive at best, delusional at worst and setting themselves up for disappointment.
This is the most predictable organization in the league (Primo was a surprise only because of projections) and they've only gotten more strict with their constraints post S bag.
If they can't move up for Murray, be prepared for another guard/wing (Griffin, Davis, Daniels, Branham), with Sochan a long shot.
I don’t disagree. If they fall in love with a guard/wing I hope it’s Mathurin who seems to have a good blend of size, athleticism, and shooting.
They'd most likely prefer him to the group I named, but I can't see him making it to 9 or 10.
Granted, he could be the trade up target, but if they're going to burn significant assets for a projected non star, it should be for either a creator, a four or a combination of both.
