Winner winner chicken dinner
Not to beat a dead horse here, cause I know I’ve been stanning Bailey the past couple weeks, but my hope if we miss out on the other PG’s in the lottery would be to trade back into the 20’s to take this kid. I really think he’s a sleeper in this draft. He’s not falling to 33 imo, especially after his combine showing last week. so we’d have to move up for him. Not sure Spurs would be willing to trade a future 1st for him, but he’s an option and I think he’d be a good value pick on the early-mid 20’s of the draft.

The No Ceilings guys last mock had Cason at 16, with Utah pairing him with Anthony Black.
If he slips there, given Utah doesn't have excess 2024 picks ( they have excess picks in every other year for all eternity), I'd look into a trade where we give up the higher of the Toronto pick and the Charlotte pick (so a pick that's at most #7 next year) and 33 (maybe enough? might need a touch more) to move to 16.
The type of prospect Cason is ( as a strong guard who can defend 1 - (some) 3's, shoot, has awesome stats projections) might not super hit as a star initiator, but the range to me is De'Anthony Melton to Smart / Jrue. I think Melton is really good and fits well next to anyone, so I'd do that for the floor of what I think Cason's range is.
dont think anybody in the draft defends 1s and 2s at the point of attack as well as Wallace does
His dead zone (~20% lower) left FT line extended (than right FT line extended) is odd.
Good stuff man.
One thing I always hope with my own Stan prospects is that: A) Hopeful at least they Spurs get a chance to work them out and B) If they're available when we pick (or can be obtained with the right assets earlier), I can ultimately live with the results if the Spurs go in another direction.
Bailey, if they love him (and they must at the very least like him, having him worked out); could be had...
Agreed. I was just making a point that Spurs have assets to possibly get it done without moving Keldon or Devin if a team values future picks.
Understood.
I like the cut of your jib.
Needed more Klutch guys in attendance tbh lol idk he’s interesting, high upside but big bust potential too. Sounded dumb in team interviews I watched of him
I don't think he's a top 20 guy, but a lot of teams could convince themselves that he could become kind of Ibaka like as a floor spacing big / rim protecting 4 (upgrading Lyles, more rim protection), and bet on the upside of a hard to find skillset and confidence in turning him into that.
I can see Clowney to Sacramento at 24. Really good fit if you are planning to build on the Fox / Sabonis pair, as that combination of skills is quite rare. Other teams could convince themselves given their need for size that can play next to another big (Miami next to Bam, GS next to Dray or Looney, etc).
This guy has the BBall IQ of a rock. Who the heck is giving him an invite in the first round, lol?

O-Max was projected as a mid-2nd Rounder 2 weeks ago. Crazy what a good combine performance can do for you. He was one of my favorite prospects at 33, but that looks to be a pipe dream at this point.
All players compared themselves to current NBA players and stars. Podz though, is the only one who compares himself to a retired great, SAS own Manu Ginobili...
2:00 minute mark.
Leonard Miller without an invite.
Lol at drafting for fit over talent. Miller actually does have the talent to be Paul George-esque though, time will tell. We’ll see how this plays out over the next half decade.
Miller in Charlotte at least gives the Spurs a better chance at getting the CHA pick.
A guy who beat his wife, a guy who brought a gun to a murder, a guy who shoplifted while playing basketball in China.
If Miller is solid to good, that team is a playoff team.
