That's why the Magic were right to draft Jeryl Sasser over Tony Parker
It’s a matter of time. Matas is underrated here even if he’s the 3rd best wing prospect behind Zach and Cody. In fact, I think after ZR, Matas arguably fits the front court needs more than Cody. Theoretically Sochan does what Cody is projected to do.

Still can’t shoot?
Also, Buzelis ain’t Wagner.
Bro, that was 23 years ago. The game is totally different now.
He can't shoot, 27% from three, and this team desperately needs shooting since it isn't getting it from Sochan nor Jones.
I can’t understand the outright pimping of Collier. He doesn’t shoot or pass well, and his bull charges to the rim probably won’t work in the NBA.
Must be why Sochan was a better PG than shrimpy De'Aron Fox
I think Dilly's pretty good, but with the PG's that should be obtainable by trade this sumner, I think there's a legitimate argument for taking two sf/pf types. There just might be more value doing that...
What PG are you expecting to be on the trade market this summer?
Mainly the one's we talked about at the trade deadline (DJ and Trae), but I could see Derrick as well if Boston doesn't live up to expectations.
At this point, say we end up with pick #6 (the highest probably single landing spot for the 3rd worst team) and #10 with the TOR pick... I think I'd be down for taking Filipowski with that second pick. Sure you don't want to use the #10 pick on what projects to be a backup... but I'd view it as a way to have a long term solidification of the second unit. Basically a higher ceiling versus of Zach Collins. Only hesitation is that you're locked into Zach for two more years and $35MM, but maybe you can move him. I'd take your top wing prospect with the first pick and Filipowski with the second, try to get your starting PG via other means.
And hot take, but I'd rather have Filipowski than Sarr for this team
You mean the 6’3” guard with a 6’7” wingspan? Yeah he’d be a much better PG prospect in this draft than the 6’0” prospect with what looks to be a negative wingspan.
Not sure what Sochan has to do with it. He was never supposed to be a PG.
In that scenario I might be tempted to consolidate a few 2nd's and move up into the first and draft and grab Proctor as my PG. Obviously, I'm assuming Topic and Dilly are gone at 6.
We'll see at the combine since it's hard to find good measurements on Dillingham. Fox was 6'2" without shoes and 170 lbs at it.
I made a case for Filipowski a while back. I'd much rather fill team needs competently than wildly swing at flawed candidates that won't ever cut it, and a strong need is size. Filipowski can do the short rolls and high post passing that we taught Poeltl to do. He's not the shotblocker Jakob was, but I compared him to Vucevic coming out of college, where the comp is favorable. Filipowski is a long-range threat, can rebound the ball, isn't bad defensively, and has the size Collins doesn't. Unfortunately his touch is kind of balls inside and his ft% is worse than you'd want. Probably fixable.
I'd much rather take Filipowski at #10 than Sarr at #1.
I wouldn't worry about Collins' contract. Even if he doesn't return to form, this team has no cap issues whatsoever.
Crap I thought you had some guys the Spurs had a decent chance of getting
Lol... I wish...Crap I thought you had some guys the Spurs had a decent chance of getting
Proctor isn't doing it for me. He didn't have it last year and he doesn't look great this year. For PG, I want to get a guy who clearly projects as a longtime starter/near star or a guy who is more prepared who can platoon well who the team doesn't feel they need to commit years to.
Right now I'm interested in Tyler Kolek and KJ Simpson from Marquette and Colorado. They're a bit older and will be around our #33 pick. Kolek is a badass veteran who can probably step in and do a lot of things right away. Simpson's production is also very good. At least they can run a team. Kolek is a tough mother er.
Knowing the Spurs, I do think they will take a hard look at Sheppard.
Sure, I'd rather have a guy who projects as longtime starter too. Unless Topic is that guy I'm not sure I see him out there, though. Dilly looks real good, but his length 'could' limit him and he could very well be an energizer off the bench. That's still valuable and I'd take Dilly or Topic well ahead of Proctor, but in a scenario where both are gone (and Shephard) Proctor makes sense. Decent length, good court awareness, handles, and nice form on his shot. I think he's more suited to the nba than college. He's certainly not a surething (although few are in this draft), but at worst he's a decent guy off the bench.
doesn't matter. Even if we got one of them you'd hope Dillingham would become a better back up than Tre Jones at some point
I think he would. I just see some value in doubling our odds that one of the sf/pf types work out.
People need to quit the nonsense that small guards don't exist in the NBA or that "the NBA is moving away from small guards." Small guards are all over the ing place. Many of the biggest stars in the league are small guards and there are small guards who contribute in other ways.
As for Dillingham vs. Trae Young, the Kentucky player was a better shooter in college by a good margin. What Trae had was a crazy twice as many fts a game and an insane 37% usage rate. Trae's three point shooting in college was kind of balls.

Who exactly made that argument?
