Bust written all over him.
6'8"? Is he going full Rodman and playing in high heels? Last I checked he was 6'6"...

I’m excited to see who we get.
Of the prospects I feel like he will be 18 or 19 years old, congenial, no legal/character red flags, hard working, and with offensive upside. Not sure who that will be.
You just described Josh Primo! Congrats!
That sounds like most of the top 10 except the Thompson twins..
Anyone have an update on Primo? I mean the league is about to reinstate CHA’s Bridges so you have to think this guy gets another shot sometime if he shows growth/remorse.
Those are 2 very different situations. Bridges had a very serious legal situation hanging over his head, but his archetype is at a premium and he's already a fringe all star at that. Someone is always going to take a chance with him provided his legal situation isn't at a point of no return (i.e. jail time, more allegations coming to the surface, etc.). If he can stay in check and play up to his potential, the risk will be worth it for some organization (not the Spurs).
On the other hand, Primo's case is much milder, but also he isn't good enough that you can't get several prospects equal or better than him every year in the later first round or even second round. Not necessarily the same kind of player, but in terms of value I'd argue past year's Andrew Nembhard and Jaden Hardy are as good if not better bets at being productive NBA players that Primo is. Maybe even Max Christie and Bryce McGowens. This year I'd rather take Strawther than Primo, even disregarding the off court stuff.
If so, why take a chance on him, when he's not that special to begin with? I realize some people had convinced themselves he was on his way to s om, that sounds more like a leap of faith or wishful thinking that evidence based conclusion.
Who would this guy most resemble on our current squad???? Is he a second round pick?Wemby at 1:35
Nor Miller.
If you talk about Coulibaly, I would say Keldon, not as strong for now but maybe a bit more dynamic and faster, notably on fast break thanks his long strides where he's pretty impressive, as you can see in the vid.
Ball handking OK but not totally there yet but I believe it will, he's still young (not 19 yet), and has shown abilites to create off the dribble (mostly to slash tho). Can shoot the 3 but mostly on catch and shoot (which is already this). Good slasher thanks then to his athltetism and can finish (I could say better than Wesley but that wouldn't speak much). intrigued to see what all that could give as he'll bulk up. Active on defense, good instincts to deflect or disturb passes and nice BBIQ. Can block a shot here or there.
Depending on who you ask, he's projected late FR, early SR but you know how it goes with euros, some people only start at seriously looking at them when they declare... I firmly believe he's a FRounder and could go as high as 20 (or more, who knows in this draft) for whoever would be ready to talk a flyer on him. The upside and potenitial are there, as a slasher who can shoot the 3, defend and run faster than everyone on fast break, eventually playmaking more over time.

JPB: yeah, Keldon was the first guy that came to mind for me. Perhaps this guy Coulibaly, or someone like him (Miller??) will open up some eyes. Players like him (and Keldon) come around a lot in the drafts and may have more upside than some on our current roster. Not saying this is the guy to replace Keldon, but we have to keep looking for a better SF to move forward. If we get a high draftee with immediate skills, throw him into the mix like Sochan and let him prove himself.
For that reason, I wouldn't be upset if Keldon got traded in order to try someone new with a better BBIQ and more upside in view. After this many seasons, I think we've about seen all we're going to in Kendal's development. Never gonna be the All-star we need. And he still has some glaring defieciencies in physical ability as a "tweener" as well as BBIQ which results in problems on defense and offense. And I don't see how you move him from a starter to second team bench role here. It seldom works out, so better to let him find a place with another team.
Which brings us round again to the possibility of getting Scoot. I suppose the FO will take him if they can get him. If not, I shudder at the thought of either of the twins, so I would prefet a great SF pick.
He’s never been suspended or barred in any way by the league. As a flasher, which is a sex crime, he’s beyond radioactive to teams. Knowing what they know, if they sign him, and he reverts, they will have some level of legal liability.
Technically there is no crime. I don’t think he’s been convicted or even charged.
Doesn’t mean there wasn’t a crime. Once suits are settled, many times charges go by the wayside. I’m guessing if you dig, the depositions are somewhere. There was supposedly multiple teams interested, and then…nothing. Something they found out made him radioactive.
They probably watched tape of him.
If we draft 6 or 7, you can give me this guy.
Atypical player, looks like a 3 and D at the four/five( small ball) spots. He could be at least a very good role player, not exactly what you want with a top pick but the floor is good.
I like him. He seems like a guy that, on D, could compliment and even enhance Sochan with their defensive versatility.
And let's face it, this team needs a serious injection of D and I'm not sure it was all because of tanking.
On O? I'll be hopeful, but not too optimistic.
I do see a lot of good intentions in what he wants to do, but he's just a tick too slow, or a smidge too off to execute what he wants correctly.
That can be fixable, but that D with Sochan and him switching is mouth watering.
I love how active and instinctual his hands and arms are when he's defending with his good positioning. They're all over the place all the time.
No more role players. The Spurs have a team full of them. Need to swing for the highest upside players.
I don't want a team full of limited offensive players and trying to win with defense.
I'd rather have Taylor Hendriks instead of this guy. Hendriks looks to have a higher offensive potential and still is solid defensively.
Funny, because what the Spurs have is offense. What they need is defense.
They finished 29th offensively.
So what, Poindexter? They're fine on offense. They kept sitting out all their ing players. Defense is where they need to improve.
He actually is reportedly a bit lead footed laterally, to the point where he has trouble staying in front of 4s. When he played against Hendricks, Hendricks forced him into floaters, and blew by Walker for a dunk.
