Moving into the Top Ten or Lottery

Rayan Rupert will be the target if there is a trade up tbh

Freak athlete with elite measurements. Can pick up point guards full court. French. Friends with Wemby already.

He shoots poorly 19% off the dribble which pgs need to do.

[Mr. Body]

It’s really ing complicated to trade him before the new league year starts in July.

Makes sense. So, hypothetically, the Spurs could just absorb a Bertans contract outright on draft day because they're way under the cap?

[rascal]

Mikal Bridges is the new Jimmy Butler in the making. An incredibly consistent and hard working player who will elevate your team. Neigh impossible to get him on the Spurs but he would be a great great fit.

I wanted the Spurs to trade up and get Bridges on his draft night. It didn't take much to get him on draft night.

Small sample size and was a 5th option on offense due to his youth.

can people please do their research first before they respond to me instead of opening up one page of stats and thinking they know it all

I've watched his tape and it's generally considered he isn't a strong shooter overall and I can see from his tape he isn't as good of a mid range sooter compared to Jalen Hood-Shifino who would be my target outside of Scoot( who would be unlikely to get).

Rupert has very good form on his shot and his work ethic is reportedly very good. Those things give optimism that he will be able to improve in that area.

Double post

I don't see the similarities...then again, I don't see Rupert as a PG either....more of a defensive stopper with secondary playmaking skills.... However, if teams do see him as being able to transition into a full-time PG then he'll rise up the board over this next month.

So he doesn't even have what made Killian Hayes a good prospect?

He's just a different archetype than Hayes...

To be fair the 2021 unprotected MIA pick was the best draft asset at that time.

BOOM!!!

I really wonder if TOR would give SA 13 for their top 6 protected pick back? Seems like a solid move. TOR is in flux and they can lock in the cost of Jakob to pick 13 vs risk it be pick 7-12 and they are definitely in a bit of flux and having your pick back in the future to use/trade may be enough to get it done?

Interesting. Who would you take?

[spurraider21]

at that range i'd like Bufkin

[CorrectCrusader]

Could be really interesting to move up and grab a PG, those are the main targets with Schifino imo

btw i think it will be really expensive to move up in the top 10-15

Anthony Black would be awesome.

[Mr. Body]

Me, too. I'd 100% grab Bufkin now instead of leaving the pick for next year. Spurs likely already have 2 FRPS next year.

Really want a PG type with rangy length and good defense.

[DPG21920]

Bilal if he’s there. Black. Cason? Walker? Something like that.

[DPG21920]

Another good one for sure. Lots of options

[DPG21920]

Trade TOR pick back for pick 13. Trade pick 13 + CHA pick to move up for Black or Whitmore if he falls some?

I'm all for them being aggressive to land one of those guys. I like the idea of getting a good PG type on board to grow with Wemby right away and not all drafts have good prospects, especially defensive ones. With a good defensive guard this team could be nasty. And then those CHA and TOR picks are sort of gravy at the moment.

Or

Trade Toronto back for #13 then trade 13 + Charlotte + keldon for #3 and draft Scoot... lol

[spurraider21]

if we trade around pick 10 or so, i'd like black as the target. if we move into the mid teens, bufkin. if he slips slightly past projections into the 20's, id want to move up from 33 and go after dereck lively
