Zach Collins is the C with upside. We weren't coming out of this draft with another C.
Yeah we all love Wemby. But what is going on with PG?! We going into the season with Tre Jones and a bunch of maybes? No legitimate C with upside?? Wtf is going on?!

There are other ways to improve besides the draft when you already have your centerpiece. Seems like a knee jerk thread.
Spurs fumbled what could have been a A++ draft. All they needed to do was pick one of the many 1st round talents still available at 33, let alone trying to move up.
- Not surprised we didn’t end up trading into the first round…never bought that in the first place even though I think it made sense
- Trading out of 33 seemed terrible in the moment, but landing Cissoko at 44 made up for it. If you told me going into the draft we’d leave the 2nd round with Cissoko and two 2nds I’d be pumped
- Still would’ve preferred some of the guys available at 33 (Bailey, Walsh, Andre Jackson are 3 names that come to mind), but again, hard to complain too much because I do think Cissoko is a nice pick especially when you include the 2nd rounders coming with him
- Rice seems like a good two-way guy
Spurs fans right now at the intersection of en lement and desperation after experiencing a couple years of life without the playoffs.
Not sure what trade people are mad about. IIRC Spurs took Wemby at 1, Cissoko at 33 and Rice at 44. Then found a couple of 2nds behind the sofa. Great night.
They did pick one of those 33 pick talents, but at pick 44.
Spurs have 3 first round draft picks next year, right? Don't know if next year's draft is weak or not. If not, package them for someone good I guess.
Could have had Leonard Miller at 33.
Could have had a number of players at 44.
Not particularly inspiring but I'll trust them to get it right in the end.
Let's hope the 46 second round picks we have can go towards a decent trade
Leonard Miller has promise, but is a longterm project who is an absolute disaster on defense. I still expect people to bring this up over and over again.
Wait until after free agency to see the final concept. If bailing on 33 opened up roster slots for some established players I think SpursTalk will ultimately be very pleased with the choices.
To many current players need a chance to improve
to care much more than wemby this draft
The Homers would be happy with anything the Spurs did.
Spurs didn't address PG or shooting.
Wemby fell into their laps and they did as little as possible to improve the team outside of that lucky Wemby win.
Keep all draft picks away from that massage lady tbh
They weren't going to get shooting out of this draft. We already have a ton of players. We already have a good number of shooters for now and the ones who 'technically' are not, will be soon, like Wemby.
The PG thing is a puzzler, but they couldn't get anything done and that was a likely result. Our lottery pick got us Wembanyama instead.
I choose to believe that the Spurs had a tentative deal with Orlando to trade up to 11 for Cason Wallace. This forced OKC to trade up to 10 for Wallace. Once that happened, the Spurs walked away from the trade.
Also, somebody, maybe the Spurs, was flirting with Indiana for the 7 pick, forcing Washington to trade up one spot for Coulibaly.
I think the plan is to “see what they have,” i.e. play young guys like Branham and Wesley tons of minutes to see if they sink or swim. They’ll also give run to some of the marginal guys like Mamu and Champagnie, again, to “see what they have.” I also think they’ll do weird experimental lineups like Sochan at point guard.
Next year will be sort of a semi-tank. They’ll “be patient.” Really I think they have their eye on another high lottery pick next year to acquire a second star.
I'm trying to think through about that 10 spot trade.
- Orlando picked Jett Howard earlier than he was mocked pretty much universally. Certainly Orlando could have just valued him. Or it could suggest they were going to pick him slightly later.
- If the Spurs had the 11 locked up and wanted Cason Wallace, why not just take the pick and pick their next guy? Did they really not have a next guy? It's possible.
- My feeling is that it's not the Spurs that had a deal with Orlando, but a team like Utah (16). Orlando expected to take Howard at 16 and Utah really wanted Wallace and knew they needed to get him before OKC (12) or Toronto (13). And that fell through. They took their number 2 guy at that point staying at 16, Keyonte George.
Drew Timme signed by Bucks as an undrafter.
Solid selection.
Wouldn't have minded Spurs doing the same.
FFS get Wemby some muscle to help on the frontline. Don't want to see Timmy Duncan surrounded by washed Michael Finley at the PF. Or Matt Bonner.
Then they could have had another top 33 talent. It doesn't make sense any way you look at it.
What are they going to do with a third rookie?
i bet you could tell me what Pop had for lunch yesterday
the same thing they're going to do with those 2026 and 2028 second round picks they just added to the ledger
