tank in despair for Risacher
Just that its a better draft..
Really liked what I saw from Matas
how is his defence...Dont want another davis bertans
Well he’s a far better athlete than Bertans for starters. They’re not similar players at all. Holland is an elite athlete who likes to attack the rim while Bertans is the opposite.
I agree. If im TOR i'd rather it convey during this crappy draft and be done with it. Allows them to trade their FRP starting next season for other moves they may have, etc., instead of their ability to trade a FRP being en bered until 2027 (by my count).
This kid is going top 3. If he is a legit 6'8" after measurements (questionable) I think hes the #1 pick right now. Feels like its between him and Sarr right now.
Tell my Topic is your top pick without telling me he's your top pick.
I'd rather receive a mid lottery pick in a so called crappy draft than something in the 15-20 range in a so called good draft.
Me too. I'm saying if im TOR I'm not really concerned about tanking this year. Just let the pick go this year, and be done with it.
Tbh I think Holland is only 6’6. Doesn’t even look 6’7 to me. He’s a great athlete and has good defensive potential, so I see him as a top-5 pick, but not #1 imo.
If Alex Sarr keeps playing like he has been lately, I think he eventually goes #1. His ceiling is too high not to with his 7’1 size, defensive abilities, and projection as a stretch-5. He’s super raw as he’s still only 18, but he probably has the highest ceiling in this weaker draft class.
Another guy who’s quickly becoming a pet cat of mine is Ryan Dunn out of Virginia. He’s an elite athlete at 6’8 with long arms. Maybe the best athlete in the entire draft, and he’s a menace Defensively. He’s super raw offensively, doesn’t project as much of a shot creator. Will probably become more of a 3-and-D guy at the next level, but his athleticism and defense are elite already and this is exactly the type of prospect the Spurs badly need to surround Wemby with right now. He could be a target in the 10-15 range IF that TOR pick conveys (not holding my breath tbh).
Spurs were also two days earlier in France to watch a game between Risacher and Salaün. There were 7 NBA teams at that game (Spurs, Sixers, Blazers, Suns, Wizards, Heat and Thunder).
Nice find....he definitely has the height and athleticism we want at SF position and I think he will either be the youngest or second youngest in this draft. One thing I like is that he plays with a lot of emotion which I think sometimes is lacking on our team that is that passion to win and not loose..lol
I would think if you like Risacher you should like this kid? Has anyone seen him play and if you have I would like to know your thoughts on his potential.
Oh Snap you were right - NBA Draft Room has him going at 13 - that is a big jump.
I like this guy a lot too, especially late lottery. I'm not sure if the steal and block percentages hold up over time, but he's a monster defensively and provides the point of attack defense and rebounding that even a fully realized Sochan lacks. Unfortunately, the downside comp for him is probably Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who went second after AD due to his defense, intangibles, and hustle but never developed an offensive game enough to ever become a useful NBA player.
Risacher vs Buzelis. I vaguely put them in the same broad category: tall, skinny wings, sort of glue guys more than alphas, can shoot and defend and connect. But that's because I don't know the nuances of their games. Anyone here done a deep dive on those two?
Holland seems vaguely similar but more alpha potential and less technical skill.
Does that sound right?
whoever is more consistent i guess and Is the french league better then the g league
Have any of y'all watched Baba Miller (Florida State) play? I find a SF with his size intriguing, but judging by stats alone I have no idea what to think. Both he and Trevon Brazile project to be around where SA's second rounder is right now, and if either of them could become reliable 3 and D guys they could easily start with Wemby and whoever our lead guard ends up being.
Yeah, after watching some games I came away with the same thing both Risacher and Buzelis are 3 and D type of guys - I would give the edge to Buzelis as I think he has a little more wiggle in his game but both pretty much close. One thing both are not your Alpha type dog players they are both OK just playing within the game and not take it upon themselves to win games on their own. This is OK since they are probably your third option on the offensive side so for me I am OK with drafting them with our first depending on where we draft as Topic is still my favorite at the moment.
Holland issue is he played a lot of PF in High School so coming in against grown men playing the SF role is different for him so he is having to adjust. The main concern is his shooting and his height because I believe he is listed on Ignite as 6'6 - but he is pretty athletic and I agree with you he definitely gets after it on offense and defense - He is a low floor - high ceiling to me..
