Primo or Sharpe?
Worse than that, he finished the year with lower 2pt, 3pt, FT, and TS%s than Derrick White... and shooting is White's weakest skill, and it was a down year shooting even for him.
Primo or Sharpe?
Primo
Good joke, though
haha understood. I don’t have a strong view on Sharpe but I think he makes sense if still on the board at #9.
Spurs should jump at Sharpe if he is still there at 9.
He is one of the players outside the top projected 4 who can be the top player from this draft class.
But I'm sure he will be drafted in the top 6.
Just too much future all star potential with his skillset to pass on him.

I would normally say the Spurs would shy away from Sharpe, but you know, they love young untested Canadians!
I wasn’t that impressed with his video. He appeared to nearly lose his dribble several times while unguarded. He’s going to need a lot of work. He’s easily as raw as Primo was, maybe more so.
No way, Much better than Primo from what I see. Primo was not impressive at all. Primo looks like a child.
Where is Primo's tape?
Where’s Sharpe’s NCAA tape?
Spurs would be lucky to draft Sharpe at 9th, then use the 20th pick to draft a PF. Shaedon has the ability to score on all levels and has that star quality. But again I would like if the Spurs get a top 4 pick and really speed back to contention
Would you trade Primo for Sharpe?
Primo lacks explosiveness and quickness and plays below the rim. I don't see him having the skills Sharpe has to ever be a star in the league.
Absolutely. I’d trade Primo for a late FRP.
This trope needs to die.
Lol, don’t let this man near your front office.
are we really writing primo suave off already though?
Can he be a bust? Of course he can just as any player can, but he really does have that look of being a star player if not a high impact player at the least.He is the only player that I would love to see Spurs trade up for as he has the most potential to get there out of the whole lot.
The book's still out on Primo, but I think even his most fervent fans have to admit that last year's "He'd go Top 5 in the 2022 draft" argument is looking pretty unlikely... I doubt he'd go top 15 if he were allowed to re-enter the draft.
This. The reality is he probably has 0 trade value at this point so we are inclined to double down on him. Anyone that thinks Primo for a future FRP isn’t fair must have insider information on his development.
If Primo can put it together I think he can be a very solid complimentary type of player to play along side another All-star or two. He is going to have to exceed allot of expectations after last year to be anything more which I hope he does. I agree though that I think he would be a late first rounder at best but most likely a second rounder in this year's draft.
For better or worse I think the FO is invested in him so I hope it all turns out great.
Primo is tough, because the spurs are not an agent so don't need to sell him. If they wanted to prove hes top 5 they'd make highlight packages, have him chuck up raw stats all season. They instead gave him reg rotation role player minutes. Its still unlikely primo will be a top 5 pick value but we won't know for awhile
Don't you realize that if he stayed in college... he'd be playing against college players? That he was primed to be the main guy on a good Alabama team and that he'd be a big, multi-dimensional guard playing against NCAA compe ion? He'd still be younger than most of the top prospects this year and would have shown even more of his potential.
Perhaps.. or he might've had a subpar shooting year as a bigger target of opponent defenses and that might've made people second guess his shooting. Someone like Trey Murphy lll was in pretty much the same situation as Primo, spending time in the G League before getting some run with the Pelicans, and he led all rookies in 3pt% and looks to be exactly the player New Orleans hoped he'd be. Granted, he's older than Primo, but I just don't think objective observers are quite as sold on Primo's supposed shooting abilities after seeing him in both the G league & NBA. But who knows, he could turn it around in the next two years and be a knock down shooter too.... I guess we'll have to wait and see.
If he played at Alabama another year, he might well have gone top 5. No way to really know, though.
