Stealth tanking baby!

I hope Spurs aren’t one of the teams lining up to throw stupid money at Reeves. We gotta see what we have with Malakai first.
Never going to be a GREAT scorer shooting threes like that.
i'm actually pretty high on Branham tbh. I'm all for starting him at PG and seeing how it goes
He is such a smart, efficient scorer, and he does it without relying on speed or strength. You could see him scoring 20 points a game for the next 20 years.
Devin was also a 40% 3 shooter in college, and it took him until year 3 to hit that in the NBA. With his great form and 83% FTs, it’s only a matter of time.
He was low key savage down the stretch
Love Branham, which is funny because I liked him less than Wesley during the draft process.
Not an uber athlete, but proof that you don’t have to be one to score buckets in the NBA.
My pet cat from day 1. Was stoked when he fell to us at pick 20. I think he’s going to be a really good 6th Man for us moving forward, and one who will start for us plenty of times too when we rest guys. Could eventually become a full-time starter depending on what roster moves we make in the future. He just turned 20 a couple weeks ago and already plays like a vet. He’s only going to get better as a scorer with experience. Once that 3-ball starts falling at a good rate, he’s going to be a really good 2-Guard. His defense will likely never be great, but it can improve enough with coaching to where he’s not a huge liability. And Wemby will likely help all our Guards defensively with his absurd length. I’m excited about his prospects moving forward tbh.
#22 is a bucket! Will be solid off the bench
branham's development is just one more reason to be pumped about the upcoming season.
Excited for Branham tbh. I think he's going to be great off the bench this year. I don't think he'll ever be a good NBA defender but there were questions about Jamal Murray's defense as well and he just made some huge plays on that end in the WCF. Plus if Wemby pans out, you'd have the ultimate eraser when it comes to hiding ty defensive players tbh.
Luka moves glacial. It’s overused but Branham has the old man’s game. He gets a quiet 20 pts because he’s just so efficient. There’s an argument that starting him could put the fire on him, BUT for the sake of Wemby getting good touches, Spurs need a true PG, especially while getting Wemby transition. I know Wemby can create for himself, but having true PG will help him more, set him up better, at least until he gets NBA strong.
I'm very high on him. Looks like he will be able to average 20 in his sleep. His 3-point shooting will come around, but I want to see is him getting to the line more. He averaged 10.2 PPG with only 1 FTA per game. He can definitely up that. Also a smart cutter on offense. Defense will determine his ceiling. As the season progressed he made some plays here and there. Maybe there's still potential on that side of the ball, although that would be surprising.
he has great touch, shoots good FTs. tells me the 3pt efficiency can get a lot better. definitely has the looks of a good 6th man/combo guard
if he was a better defender i'd be more inclined to think of him as a viable starting prospect
Something every player in the entire NBA coming up into free agency in the next 3-4 years has to be thinking about now: How much easier would success be in the NBA if I had a 7'5" monster behind me on defense who's also enough of an offensive threat that he could be drawing doubles in his first month in the league?
If he can become like a Kris Middleton, I'd be very happy
He doesn’t have near the defense for that.
Seeing as he scores a LOT from midrange, are you guys not worried he might become DDR 2.0? From the games I’ve seen though, he’s not necessarily a ball stopper unlike DDR. That being said, there’s a lot of games I haven’t seen.
He shoots more shots from 3 than anywhere else, so no.
Yeah, once his 3 ball comes around, he’s a true three level scorer, something DeRozan never was.
Per 36, Malaki attempts three times as many threes per game as DD, and he is a 20 year old rookie. Drmar's midrange game isn't the problem, it's that he flat refuses to shoot threes and that he pounds the air out of the ball. Like you said, Branham doesn't do that. Branham was so good last year I expect him to be far more useful than DD next season.
His tear drop floater is really close to TP
