It feels as if the FO sees some bargain at $100 that they so badly don't want to miss on, that they offer $1 million for it.
Sharpe is such a wild card that there's no telling where he'll end up. We don't know who is picking were, and all it takes is one workout and one GM and he could end up at 1. If Darko was selected no. 2, anything is possible. Personally, without any evidence he'd have to show me nothing short of turning water into wine on workouts to warrant being picked ahead of Ivey and Banchero. But you never know.
Same. He’s an intriguing prospect but #9 is too high. A little nervous the Spurs might not give a though based in last year.
Another mock but what else have we got to talk about…
#9 Tari Eason
#20 Ismael Kamagate
#25 Blake Wesley
#38 Trevion Williams
I don’t mind it tbh.
Tari probably contributes on the big boy club in his rookie season, Ismael is likely stashed for at least a year, (Apparently he recently performed well against Wembanyama), and Blake could be the best 2-Guard from the draft, (if a lot of things go his way) by the end of his rookie contract.
Trevion is harder for me to figure out but know he has his fans here and his basketball intellect would undoubtedly appeal to those in the Spurs FO.
All I know is this draft is going to be crazy the picks are going to be all over the place just hope we pick the right guys
I’d be pretty disappointed with Kamagate at 20. If we’re gonna take a defensive rim-runner, I’d rather have Walker Kessler at #25 (if he’s available). He led the nation in blocks at almost 5/per and he’s show some ability to stretch the floor and shoot the 3 and the long 2, unlike Kamagate, who’s almost strictly a lob & put-back guy. There will be better prospects at 20 than Kamagate.
I like the other 3 picks though. I’d still take Sochan over Tari if both are available, but I’d gladly take Eason, Wesley, & Williams as the other 3 picks.

Spurs are known for reaching… they tend to take solid players at the back of the first round but reach in the late lottery and the teens. Not saying this happens either. These things are all speculative anyways.
When is the last time the Spurs took the (mostly) consensus best player available with their pick? DeJuan Blair?
I feel like I'm forgetting someone though.
The fact that Murray will be 22 by the time the season starts makes me think that he will drop and could be there at 9.
Crazy things happen during the draft but most mocks have him climbing and now is in the 5 to 7 range
This draft would be a win to me. You'd have Eason and Wesley next year. One is a bit of a project but can replace Walker. The other, depending on his mentality, could be a menace on both sides of the ball. Very productive player.
Yea I agree but Dieng at #9 is just too high for me, especially for a guy who has shown so far that he’s a poor defender. Wouldn’t be happy with the pick tbh, unless he shows another level during workouts or something. Hopefully the Spurs don’t get too cute here.
Kamagate at 20 would seem like a reach, but Blake Wesley at 25 may be a bit too low, so it evens out. Eason fits a need, and they stash Kamagate for a while. Seems like a nice, well rounded draft.
Tari seems a good prospect but often overlook on ST, what is his major weakness that people are not keen on him.
Im not opposed to the spurs drafting him, I think he’ll be solid. I just think he has a lower ceiling then other guys at 9. I think I’d rather wait until the 20th pick and grab Nikola Jovic, Ej Liddell, or Patrick Baldwin jr
Speaking personally, based on game film and some scouting reports, here’s a few observations.
- He played quite a few minutes at C for UCLA. Can he be more 4/3, than 5/4?
- He has a terrific motor but can be undisciplined in gameplan attentiveness, leading to excessive foul trouble and tunnel vision type plays
- His outside shot is still a work in progress and I think the release is a little slow and flat
I still like Dyson Daniels and Sochan more as prospects due being younger, more versatile offensively and having a greater feel for the game…

Devin Vassell
Thanks for the info, seeing highlights only probably is unable to recognise some of the weakness you pointed out. Based on highlights he seems more useful vs some prospects who only jams and block player much shorter and less athletic.
Consensus BPA was Haliburton. And rightly so.
Makes him sound like Kenneth Farid
no no no… Haliburton was suppose to be drafted like 6-8 and fell in our lap and we passed on him. I remember when that happened and I was furious for days
Granted Vassell isn’t terrible but he’ll never reach the potential of Haliburton on a Spurs roster. He would’ve easily have been our best player right now.
Nope. Halliburton was the consensus highest rated prospect still on the board.
This back-to-back play against Alabama is Russell Westbrook type level of processing/decision making. Almost same aloof look too.... 5:40 - 6:14 mark
Think Lonnie Walker was the highest consensus player on the board when the spurs took him
There's a lot of good players in this draft, more than last year.
