Just our luck. When we were stacked with guards, we didn't have no choice but to keep drafting combo guards because that was all there was. Now that we really need one, the options are scarce.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to draft another Derrick White, tbh.
Well, I don't know. It happens. Last year there was a lot of unexpected movement. Collier and Castle may have dropped some, but then we have Topic, Reed, and Dillingham instead.
Topic isn't that much of a better shooter than Castle. Castle hasn't shot that many 3 pt shots. Got off to a poor start but only has 15 shots, hitting only 3 of them. Topic isn't much better across 75 shots.
I never said he was a good shooter. He is, however, a point guard.
Even if the Spurs select a PG in the top 10, they should draft 1 PG in the second round every year for the next 3-4 drafts until they hit on someone serviceable as a backup or if extremely lucky hit a jackpot.
Scratch Cody , Buzelis should be a near perfect fit as the 3 in this roster that guy is legit huge and can function as a secondary rim protector with Sochan at the POA.
It's really hard to evaluate players on G League Ignite... flashy numbers are nice, but as a team they're 0-9 with a -14.4 point differential. They're getting slaughtered on the regular by G leaguers. Big numbers with mediocre efficiency on big time losing teams are really difficult to unravel.
I know this is old and it's not exactly "winning basketball", but how entertaining it would be having a guy with this style of play in the team, tbh.
Coulibaly wasn’t expected that high in the draft, we were afraid it would be too much pressure on him and he would match the expectations, but he’s doing well so far.Dat FNT is going to be scary good in a couple of years tbh... For now Salun potential is still to be figured out but I would say it was a bit the same for Bilal at this time of the year last year, I think he is going to climb the draft ladder during the year.
Frankly I've never seen so much changes in the draft positons of players like in this 2024 mocks...actually my undertanding is that there could be good talent at any point of the draft (expecially about bigs...for example Clingan and Edey are projected in some mocks in the lottery, in others as 2 rounders in the late fourties). Considering we're probably going to draft four picks (2 early firsts and two early seconds) I believe there wil be a lot of work to do for our FO and expecially for our scouting department...starting from now, considering that the value of an early second could usefully be attached to some of our players/veterans , in case we really like this draft or some specific player, for trading for some more first round picks...
I agree with the sentiment. I don't think there's anyway we use all 4 picks though.
I prefer Risacher for that role a lot more. Knockdown shooter with good defense. Anything else he adds to his game will just elevate his ceiling.
Risacher had a great game with 22 points in 21 minutes in front of Holt.
Another noteworthy tidbit about Risacher is that he knows very well Wembanyama since they were teammates in 2021-22.
looks nice
one noticeable thing he can do to make himself an even better shooting weapon is to speed it up just a little bit. on the 2 clips starting at 0:52 or so, he should catch and hop in the same motion, so he can go right up with it. rather than catch, hop and gather, then go up and shoot. shaving his release time by even that amount could be the difference between getting and not getting some shots off
seeing him take a handoff while curling and shooting from deep smoothly is really good stuff.
ive generally read good things about his defense, but definitely want to take a deeper dive into that
Can some of our European posters enlighten us on the difference between EuroCup vs EuroLeague? Is it like a Europa League vs Champions League kind of thing?
Yea Risacher has definitely cemented himself as a top-3 pick in this draft imo. Projects as a really nice 3&D weapon at the next level with his length and shooting ability. #2 overall sounds about right for him as of right now.
Topic hurting his knee sucks obviously. Wanted to see a lot more of him and now it looks like he's out for 6 weeks. Big bummer.
Sarr is still the favorite to go #1 based on ceiling alone. He's banged up too right now with a hip injury, but I think he ends up going 1 when it's all said and done given his defensive upside and due to it being a weaker class.
Cody Williams is the other guy who seems to be moving up boards right now. Younger brother of OKC's Jalen Williams of course. He looks like another solid 3&D guy who could sneak into the top-5 or 6 of the draft if he continues to play well.
Three rebounds? Lol, I'm gonna be like RC to Luis Scola. You got to get those numbers up bro.
The Cody Williams stuff baffles me. He looks like a first rounder, but he's not that fast, he's not that big, he doesn't have a large bag, his stats are just okay. I feel like he's getting massive "I have a brother" dividends that are undeserved so far.
Honestly that’s the same thing they said about his brother. We forget that he was a “stretch” at 12.
risacher has been shooting up on draft boards with nobody in this class being able to separate themselves as high end talent. meanwhile risacher looks ready to come in day 1 and provide at least 1 high level nba skill with a lot of room for growth
But J-Will was actually a good basketball player in college. Just because your sibling is good doesn't make you good.
