Official 2022 NBA Draft thread

[Seventyniner]

Think Lonnie Walker was the highest consensus player on the board when the spurs took him

That makes sense, thanks.

I was pretty sure it wasn't Vassell because of Halliburton.

[Seventyniner]

There's a lot of good players in this draft, more than last year.

In other words, it's a good draft to have 3 firsts in.

[BackHome]

If we luck out in either ping pong ball or doing a trade I think we could come away with a starting PF , a solid SG, and a starting Center in about one or two years.

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.

I like this draft in term of positions.

A SF/PF, an inside guy and a guard.

Imo Eason is a 3/4, on D he could play 3-4-5 but on offense i don't see him as an inside guy actually, he is not a post up player but more a slasher and a force in the paint while driving.

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.

I can tell you something about Kamagate, he's a really good kid, humble.... and the coaching staff in Paris works hard on their young core weaknesses particulary with Kamagate. He'll surprise people in the NBA imo. I also have Kessler a little bit higher and imo if the spurs will take a C, it will be with their last pick.

By the way, Kamagate just declared. You'll see that he's not just a lob and put back guy.

Good stuff. Something like an Eason-Kamagate-Wesley draft would be nailing it for me.

[FutureMan]

I’d say Johnson too. He was suppose to go in the late teens/early 20’s but fell to 29

Definitely not. I can see him becoming a solid NBA player.

It will be hard for the spurs to mess this draft up with so many good players this year.

[duncan2150]

Someone believe in this ?

[Degoat]

^ Zero chance lol some of the guys I would agree are spurs guys and made me think but no way that’s their big board

[T Park]

Leonard Miller isn’t eligible for this year so the list is bull

[T Park]

That makes sense, thanks.

I was pretty sure it wasn't Vassell because of Halliburton.

In the draft room it was as close to a coin flip as it gets. Room was split 50/50

[ZeusWillJudge]

I'm pretty sure Miller is eligible. He just hasn't declared. He's 6'9" and a 5-star recruit. I wouldn't rule it out.

LaRavia is 6'9", 230, and shoots the 3. I wouldn't rule it out.

We've talked about Beauchamp, and I'm not a fan. But he's been associated with the Spurs for months.

It could be total BS - somebody just projecting. But we all talk about what the Spurs SHOULD do, knowing that they pretty much always go some unexpected route. Miller would be a swing for the fence. I would rather have two scoops of vanilla out of this draft, but if they're looking for a Kawhi-type of home run outside the Top 4? Yeah, he might be a place to look.

[mystargtr34]

I heard Miller is eligible too. Canada is having a bit of a run with basketball prospects. Sharpe, Mathurin, Primo, Miller.

I doubt this list is legit you wouldn’t give an intern access to this lol. But if it was it must be their list for the 20 and 25 picks obviously.

I noticed that tweet originated from somebody named Zeus… Mmmm, Is there something you’d like to tell all of us?

[Mr. Body]

Someone believe in this ?

No. If anything is a scouting list for the twenty range picks.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I noticed that tweet originated from somebody named Zeus… Mmmm, Is there something you’d like to tell all of us?

Oh, man, I never noticed that.

No, I don't know any interns. And I sure don't know what the Spurs are thinking about this draft or any other.

What no Procida come on man..........

Damn if Miller comes out he for sure will impact the top 10 easily and I would take him in an instant the dude is going to be good - If you care to listen to a recent interview he had google...2022 Nike Hoop Summit

This kids screams Spurs player all over....

[Russ]

Leonard Miller is pick 35 on NBAdraft.net's latest mock (dated April 12).

Miller would be a horrible pick at 9. They can get him later in the draft.

Don’t jinx it please.

[SAGirl]

Someone believe in this ?

No tbh…. But if it were, those are not the names people are going gaga over here… so maybe it’s true.

[SAGirl]

No. If anything is a scouting list for the twenty range picks.

Wasn’t Primo mocked in the 20s initially as well? I don’t believe that list is true, but I also expect the Spurs to go their own way, not the projections.

[Degoat]

The Ochai Agbaji interest on that list raises my eyebrows lol doesn’t RC have big connections to Bill self at Kansas and doesn’t his son work for the Austin Spurs? With that being said that connection hasn’t ever lead to the spurs drafting Kansas players but they would have plenty of intel on Agbaji if they were interested
