They said the same things about Ginobili before he came over -- he'll never get to the basket that way against NBA players. But he did and he did it the exact way he did before.
No handles or passing. Basically Danny Green, a catch and shoot 3 and D wing. If he goes in the lottery, it’ll speak to how weak this draft is.We need some damned scoring...........JaKobe Walter should be at the top of that list.
Ron Holland if we get the #1 again
Yeah, guys like Jokic.
One review I read said that his path was blazed by two other guys who dominated their European leagues at 18: Doncic and Sengün. Both of them were drafted below their talent level.
We need to start adding some elite shooting to the team.
So this time it's against an euroleague team, maybe some will understand that doing this at 18 is not common. Topic is a really good prospect, i will try to see a game to follow his defense.
Him being 6'7 is great because it gives him a much higher ceiling defensively than what we have currently at PG
Spurs like foreign players so they will likely again draft one.
That’s why I’m much more team Risacher than team Sarr.
Is he really 6'7" though? I have read many scouts sayibg he's more like 6'4".
I never understood how could there be so much discrepancy over players' height.
We should find out at the combine. Or, we could get Dejounte to weigh in on the photographic evidence.
Topic is my #1 PG. I would take him top 3.
a lot to love about Topic. whether he's 6'4 or 6'7, he has good size for a point guard and is reported to also have a 7 foot wingspan. as is the case with so many players though... can he shoot?
29% from 3, currently, but his FTs are 87%, and that is what is known as a strong shooting signal. His TaT profile has him projected as 36% in the NBA.
He has a really good free throw percentage which is great for someone like him who is really good around the basket and seems like he is knocking down 3's with a pretty good shooting form from the highlights.
It's crazy how many don't get this despite how basic and obvious it is.
Excluding McDermott, who'll obviously be jettisoned soon, Vassell is the only rotational floor spacer and along with Branham, they're the only credible pull-up shooters (though only from mid-range).
With the possible exception of a lead creator, who provides rim pressure and dynamic play making, no more significant assets expended on players who aren't current or projected + shooters.
Cedi, Champagnie, Keldon, Devin, and Sochan are all shooting between .375 and .391.
I am actually hoping he sucks it up for the rest of the season bc there is no way the spurs win the lottery 2 years in a row to be able to draft this guy.
The Spurs’ offense creates too many bad shots - Pounding The Rock
At spouting counting stats without context. Things like sample size, volume and quickness of release all factor into whether defenses actually guard someone close enough to open driving lanes.
As I said, only Vassell (among those you listed) fits the criteria, though Champagnie has the potential.
Haliburton has a terrible, slow, low release point. A bunch of GMs with ideas like yours passed on him in the draft, 10 to be exact. He's shooting 44% this year, and 41% for his career. It's about results, not form.The Spurs’ offense creates too many bad shots - Pounding The Rock

Oh he only did it to Red Star, which is one of the top teams in Europe. He‘s legit
Spurs don’t let this guy go past 3. I’m
I’m increasingly convinced.
How cool would it be if this guy is there with the TOR pick?!
