    Serious question, how far apart at Rayan Rupert and Bilal C.? They have similar measurement and motors. Could be Bilal is better but how much so?

    Like if Rayan was on Wemby’s team would he be the one getting hyped?
    I think there's a difference in athleticism, where Bilal is likely to be a clear ++ athlete, while Rupert is a good, but not great athlete - for the Breakers, he did good work as a defender with length, but never struck me as a "Holy , that guy is an athlete" player. You don't have to be a ++ athlete to be good, but as they both have good length, and similar skills, the athleticism puts him in a higher tier.

    I'm not particularly high on Rupert. I'd be OK with him in the second at 33.

    It’s a smart point. Makes you wonder the inverse: who where the “safer” bets for contenders in that range had they kept their pick that are at risk of slipping? I’m thinking it’s the Jaime Jaquez and Kris Murrays of the world
    Yeah, I've been pumping Jaquez for months, but unfortunately there's Memphis at 25 and he's exactly the kind of guy they usually target. But if for some reason he gets past them, he could very well go all the way down to #33.

    I’m still intrigued by Jordan Walsh. Great motor. Great defense. Great measurements. Super athletic. Yeah needs a jumper badly, but at least has an NBA skill day one with his defense. So far, I like his fire. I like players like that.

    There are no superior PGs in this draft who are likely to drop to us. Moving up looks tough although a few theories have been advanced. Miracles do happen but we are probably stuck with Jones as starter. He's improved enough to keep the job when competing against anyone on the current roster. The coaches should be able to draw up some plays to free Wemby on a cut to the basket for a lob from Jones.

    Jordan Walsh is a good prospect. He'd be a lottery pick next year with a jump shot, imo, but then he may never shoot that well. Maybe I just hate jump shooters. But he's scrappy as , can be a great defender, makes winning plays on that end, and we don't really have much by way of wing forwards.

    I really think that’s gonna be what the spurs address in the draft in the 2nd round, finding a big forward/Wing to add

    It is surprising, I know the spurs always keep things quiet on their end but usually there’s at least 3-4 prospects who post on their Instagram story that their in SA or post pictures insides the teams practice court, something that shows they worked out in SA. There’s been Zero of that so far

    It's a draft that doesn't have a ton of SFs/wings. But then those positions are so slippery nowadays. Like, Ausar and Amen seem more like wings but people swear they're point guards. And then these new hybrid PFs like Hendricks and Miller who don't post up but sort of rebound and block shots, so they are PFs. Anyway, deep in the draft it's like maybe Strawther, Jaquez, Klintman, Jalen Wilson, Max Lewis, those types who are SFs.

    That one quote makes him a cancer? I think he’s trying to convince people he has more to his game so he gets drafted. But if there’s more stories I’m curious to hear.

    James Nnaji is an interesting prospect at only 18 years old. 20 years ago he would’ve been a top-10 pick. He projects as a great interior defender with his big, athletic 6’10 frame and freakish 7’5 wingspan.

    He’s extremely mobile and fluid for his size, can switch onto quicker guards, and dunks everything around the basket. He shot a ridiculous 79% from inside the paint this season so he’s a strong finisher inside.

    The problem is he has little to no offensive game whatsoever, hence why he’s being projected late in the First or early in the 2nd despite his physical capabilties. Can he develop a jump shot? Given his mechanics.. it’s not promising. He projects as an athletic Rim-running Center off the bench who can maybe start down the like in his career with more development. I think his best case scenario is a more athletic Robert Williams, which is still a good player tbh. Will be interesting to see if goes late First or if he’s available when we’re on the clock at 33 (assuming we don’t move up).





    Sochan likes what he sees.

    Probably has something to do with the fact that, in previous years, getting an invite to workout with the Spurs meant getting interest from a lottery team, which many prospects were eager to signal. This year, it just means drawing interest from a team in the second round.

    Can confirm via my sources that Jordan Walsh is in fact a Pisces, not a Cancer.

    You know after watching his High School tape I would take a shot at him he has a great base to build off and he is still young. I think with good coaching and someone assigned to him in the G League he could make some major strides on the offense side of the ball. I do admit he might be a little bit more riskier then other players but I think he has a higher ceiling then most other guys in the second round and still has a decent floor

    Well, he does look like he may be going through chemo.

    I had never thought to check before, but Number Two literally is a Cancer. You can't make this stuff up.

    Two guys that I feel don’t make any noise around the league on where they’ll go is Bobi Klintman and Ben Sheppard. Bobi supposedly has a promise somewhere and Sheppard was one of the winners from the combine but no news surrounding them

    Is Klintman even working out? If he has a promise, then no one is likely to try to steal him. He's only upside at this point, he was a nothing player at Wake. So people just guess a team with multiple late picks has him.

    Sheppard is a senior. Some promising things, but it feels doubtful he'll escape the mid second round.

    I read somewhere that Utah was high on Sheppard and might snag him with the 28th Pick. Could be hearsay obv but they’re a team to keep an eye on.
