Do you imagine this guy at the 4 and Wemby at the 5?
Ulrich Chomche
Will be interesting to see where this guy goes in the draft. I think this he is going to be a late riser, and wouldnt be surprised to see a team use a top 3 or top 5 pick on him if he performs well at the combine and in individual workouts. He has rare athletic tools and appears to be a plus volume 3 point shooter.

Definitely, hope we get the first pick cause I don't see anybody passing on that guy.
I tend to look at things realistically. The best the spurs will pick is probably 3. I know in the lottery anything can happen, but I just don't see the spurs landing a top 2 pick after landing Wemby last year. That being said I look at who would be available from pick 3 to 6 since that is where the spurs most likely will be picking. Please don't quote percentages, we all know what they are already. We can also look at the number 7 Toronto pick as well since it's looking like it might convey this year.
We absolutely need a point guard and some scoring. Considering what position they are being drafted, both players selected should be able to fit in at least as a top 10 player on the team. No 2-4 year projects. Doing that will all but give us another 20 win season if that much. Think of players that could compliment our bench or even be a part time starter - not someone glued to the G-League for 2 years, flop and get cut while still being paid. We also have two 2nd round picks. Trade those for a better bench player as well. Second rounders sometimes do well, but mostly don't. The G-League is full of them trying for a shot at an end of the bench position.
All in all, there are decent players in this upcoming draft that could very much improve the team, we just don't need to waste another year of Wemby's career by drafting player's who need another two plus years of development (Ignite players anyone). That would be a true injustice to our only superstar. The objective is to really improve not stay the same 20 win team like Detroit.
If you assume 3-6 then Risacher and Sarr ate probably off the board. You're looking at Topic or Buzelis. Then the Toronto pick (if it conveys) you're looking at Salaun, Williams, Knecht, or JaKobe if we take Topic first or one of Shephard, Dillingham, Collier, or Castle if we go Buzelis first.
Someone that completely raw and uncertain won't go top 5. Salaun is very raw as it is and he's probably going lottery. Chomche will probably go in the 20s at the earliest, but even then teams will see it as a big swing. I see early SRP.
Risacher with our pick
Sheppard with the Raptors pick
Chomche with the 2nd round pick.
I think you would be amazed at the number of times NBA teams have taken raw, athletic, offensively versatile bigs extremely high in the NBA draft. It happens quite regularly, to be honest.
Risacher is way more productive this year than Coulibaly last year was. Coulibaly had some very good games/plays but he was overall quite bad. Risacher is already a good player in french league. I like Risacher significantly more. He may not be as athletic/explosive but he is more skilled and has a higher BBIQ.
I would say that Tidjane Salaün is the one that has a lot of similarities to Coulibaly. They have both a very intriguing package of basic skills and physical abilities but they need to put them together. As an obvious main difference, Salaün if bulkier and should end up playing PF.
A comparison I like a lot for Risacher is Nicolas Batum. To me, Batum is Risacher's floor. For his ceiling, I'm not sure.
With the top of the lottery? No. Like a top five pick? Are you joking?
Batum comp is pretty apt. Or something in between Batum and Michael Porter Jr.
Batum became a pretty good connective playmaker and passer but that didnt really come along for a while. He averaged about 1.5 assists or less in each of his first 4 seasons, only really breaking through in that department in his age 24 season. For whatever concerns people have about Risacher's lack of playmaking exhibition, he's only still about to turn 19
I'm personally not concerned about Risacher's lack of playmaking. I'm concerned about his lack of rebounding and whether he actually plays good defense. Drafting a good shooter who can't do anything else or play great defense with a top 3 pick would really suck.
If he really impresses in the pre-draft circuit, anything is possible. All the top guys will have to play in the combine this year, so teams may weigh that more highly. If he performs well at the combine, then he'll probably get a number of team workouts. If he impresses there and starts really generating some draft buzz, then there is always one team willing to take a chance on a guy like that super early in the draft. This year has no set top 10 like previous drafts, so I'm expecting super weird things to happen.
I can imagine it, and to be honest I find the prospect pretty exciting.
Ok buddy
Risacher and Sarr are both decent players most likely going 1 & 2. Unless the spurs get the first or 2nd pick, we aren't getting either one of these guys. I feel like Buzelis is Luka Sammich 2.0 with more energy and is also an Ignite player so pass on that guy as well. Considering our two favorite players will probably be gone by the time we get our first pick, Sheppard and Kenect who would be great selections if we draft late ( pick five and above). I'm thinking Topic is going to drop and with a decent tournament Kyle Filiipowsky will rise. Not a whole lot of size in the top 10 other than guys in the top 2. So one of the sweet shooting guards with our first pick and a tall Dukie who can rebound, pass and score as well with our second pick. Maybe a trade might happen. We'll know in a few months. Bottom line , we need better shooting and better passing ASAP.
I think it'll still depend on how the top 5 lottery shakes out.
Detroit, Spurs, and probably the Hornets would take Risacher. I think the Blazers, Wizards, and Grizz would go Sarr tbh.
March Madness could still change a lot of things. If Cody shines for ex
If Topic makes a good come back as well...
There are still no clear top 3-5 imo
The Spurs are lacking a penetrating passer. Completely lacking.
That could change the whole picture more than any other thing they could acquire.
This team needs a lot of new talent:
We need a starting PG
We need a starting SF
We need a starting PF
We need a backup PG who can hit the 3 ball
We need a better backup SG someone who can be a plus on offense and defense
We need a better backup for Wemby
you thinking topic
I'm not sure what blueprint he's implying, tbh.
Is he saying Tre is the starting PG of the future and we shouldn't improve on that position?
I think that is what he's saying.
I think he means real PG + 3 pt shooting, more than anything. Tre (and Vassell too) can definitely be improved, but you need someone who can run a team's offense and you need proper spacing. Those 2 are non negotiables.
