I think the board wants Mathurian.
I'd be happy with him or Eason or Mark Williams but shooting for those two at 20 seems smart.
Almost forgot to do this this year…
(we all know the Spurs aren’t going to pick anyone listed in this poll, which is made up of consensus/ recently most discussed prospects)

OP, how did you decide which prospects to include in that poll? Players like Mathurin and Daniels have been shooting up draft boards and may no longer be available when we pick. Meanwhile, players like Sharpe or even Murray could fall and might be available when we select.
This. A poll is a good idea but revising the options makes sense.
I voted for Sochan. But Dieng could be a higher ceiling though. That kid has got handles, can cover the perimeter, block shots and hit from outside. Dang!
Who I want (realistically): Mathurin, Sochan, or Davis
Who they’ll likely pick: Griffin, Daniels, or Sochan
think i'm gonna wait a couple of weeks before casting my vote.
I don't follow draft stuff that closely and so I'll just wait for the pick, then come back to SpursTalk to tell me why it is awful.
Have no fear...half of the comments will tell you how awesome the pick is and how much smarter our FO is than anyone else....
. . . . the other half will tell us how much smarter they are than the FO and how awful the pick is.
lol Always a good, funny entertainment for draft night.
I did that when Derrick White was drafted. Had no idea who was who, who he was, etc. I knew a lot of people were upset at the pick because they wanted a big (Spurs really needed forwards even back then, and bigs). Derrick turned out to be alright. I think it was the big forehead and hair that really upset some trolls really. That has remained an interesting type.
Something to watch out for this next draft.
Wait, we're not trading down?
i'm actually surprised there isn't an ST poster out there who hasn't put together a draft analysis based on the cranium sizes of the available picks.
It would be a funny project. This board used to have a lot more trolls attempting to be funny.
My comment above was made tongue in cheek, it was definitely supposed to lighten up the mood. I feel tempted to cast my prediction on who the Spurs pick by looking at player pictures just for the giggles of it. I need pictures of all the picks in one location to make it easy on myself...
Well, it makes sense to do that to grab Caleb Houstan before OKC gets him with 30. Sure, Spurs could do that with 25, but that is a precious spots that cant be used on youngin project players, so why not trade down? Watch Spurstalk explode.
Typical ST post draft stages:
1. Madness/cliff jumping; we are doomed PATFO fked up again!
2. Acceptance; I guess it wasn’t that bad, PATFO has had a traditionally strong track record
3. Euphoria; usually occurs when a rookie scores 20+ in a summer league game. We did it again! He is the new Tony Parker or Manu Ginobilli!!! We are staaaaacked.
I’ll do my best to reserve judgement but I hope at 9 we shoot for a layup and not from the logo

Draft Dieng this year and hope to get Wembanyama next year. French connection.
if i had to make a short list on the fly it would have to include: banchero, jaylin williams, walker kessler and leonard miller.It would be a funny project. This board used to have a lot more trolls attempting to be funny.

My top 3 are Mathurin, Davis, and Duren
I fully expect us to draft Ousmane Dieng, I’m not against it just sorta underwhelming
"Fathead" is one my favorite nicknames eva.
You left off 4, 5, and 6, with 6 being that dude is complete trash and please fire Brian Wrong now.
Funny because I'd be whelmed by Davis and Duren. I'm all about Mathurian and Dieng tho.
I feel like Mathurin or Duren gives us some edge that we just don’t have. Guys like Dieng are just typical spursy guys lol and I think Davis could be really good, people project him as just a starter but he’s succeeded in several roles in college

Obligatory clip because it still cracks me up:
