Agreed Cam Whitmore I could see climb as well as Amen which could force some goods down
Will be interesting to see how the tourney shapes the value
Awful. Blake’s barely gotten development time this year. Not looking forward to 3 FRPs if it happens. Better if they’re more spread out.

I like the idea is spacing out the years when we get a lot of FRPs.
We just took 3 in 2022 and it is too early to know for sure what we have with them.
By the time we’re drafting multiple FRPs again in ‘24 we should have a better sense of who we want to build around and what we still need to find.
I like the idea of having two first rounders in 2023.
Get Wemby and a top PG in this year's draft as those are the top two areas of need on the team.
Unlike last year which was weak in PGs this year is deep in PG's projected to go in the mid first round.
Spurs should target a trade into the mid first round and get a PG this year.
I think they will land VW.
2026 kinda seems like a reset year with mainly just SAs own FRP with swap rights to ATL
Lot's of Boards already have Amen at #3. I'm not that high, but I can see why the athleticism is attractive.
Bleacher Report just came out with a new mock - Has us taking Henderson at 2 a big surprise has Gradey going 6 he has been flying up on a lot of mock boards as teams desperately need players who can shoot and hit the 3 ball. I think they have Black going 13.
You could do a host of things with those picks beside use straight up.
Gradey is rising fast... I've got him at 8 and hoped we might could acquire a 2nd pick to get him, but it looks like he's going to rise out of the range that we could acquire a 2nd 1st.
Spurs need a pg more than .
Don't like Gradey . What else does this guy do other than shoot the 3 pointer?
Better to target more athletic and versatile players who can also shoot the 3 ball.
Longer term I 100% agree. Tre Jones and Devonte Graham can play the part to help others develop in the short term though.
Tre Jones and Graham are great if you're tanking.
He drives the ball and is a plus Defender...
Yeah, one thing I have learned is that if you can't shoot in college the chances of you now being able to shoot in the NBA are slim to none. I think people are finding out that he brings more then just the 3 ball they are looking at him closely and a lot will depend how he does in team practice/scrimages..
I would say that your chances to improve your shooting increase with being a middle to lower pick. They tend to accept that they have to work on their game more than top picks do. Russell Westbrook NEVER learned to shoot, and he’s about ready to retire.
I'd say the only players who may are the ones who never really had to learn how to shoot in college because other aspects of their game were strong enough for them to dominate (strength, speed, handlings, defense, passing, IQ...). Nephew is a good example, he was a 25% 3pt shooter in College (45% overall) but had to work on his shoot in the NBA to become a 38.5% 3pt shooter (49.4% overall) dominant player there.
And maybe Ex also has a point there, since Nephew was a mid FR pick. Would have to look more closely at lottery picks to see how many managed to improve their shooting.
Hey rascal, how are you doing?
I was wondering what do you think about Jokic, Luka Doncic, Larry Bird, Tim Duncan, Steph Curry, etc....
Do they have enough "burst" for you?
Curry has burst to the basket.
I'd replace Keldon with Gradey .
the charlotte pick has 3 years to convey, this year being the first. for the next 2 seasons it is 1-14 protected. so more or less, we need charlotte to make the postseason in the 23-24 season or the 24-25 season for us to get their pick. otherwise we just get even more 2nd rounders lol
What better players than Tim Duncan and Luka Doncic might look like.
IMO the only path to us landing the Charlotte pick is if all of the following conditions are met:
1) They lLand a top pick in '23 that has an immediate impact (Wemby / Scoot)
2) Lamelo makes it clear he won't go along with another tanking season.
3) They re-sign Miles Bridges and is available and in shape.
4) Mark Williams takes a leap forward.
5) They keep their core and add an impactful veteran.
Under those conditions, the Eastern Conference is weak enough that they might make the play in as the 8th seed with a losing record, where they'd have to win only 1 game out of 2 to get in. But unless Lamelo lights a fire under management's butt, they will not feel the urgency to act now. So I'd say chances are not looking good.
Arguably you only have four locks for the POs in the EC next year, Boston, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Cleveland.
Arguably the others could fall off, Toronto, Miami, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Atlanta.
I don't think it's a huge leap to think Charlotte will be in the mix next year for a late spot. But it's bad franchise and Lamello is a chuckle so who knows.
A few teams regretfully passed on Tyler Herro and that might elevate Gradey's draft stock.
(Herro went one pick ahead of Romeo Langford.)
He can shoot and that projects.
rascal's kind of player...
