I didn't say he's not an NBA prospect. I said he's not a number one draft pick prospect.
It’s not about what he can do it’s about the real level of the opposition that changes everything.
first time I saw Barlow in summer league I was so impressed I thought he’d shine straight away in NBA
Watch the video again and focus on the opponents, most of them are small and unathletic and defenses are “open bar”.
Its just tough to transpose it with a much better opposition

I'm still high on Topic and wouldn't mind him with our pick if Risacher is off the board tbh.
do we know when he is supposed to play again? He was supposed to be out for 4-6 weeks two months ago
Given the dearth of play making, I had interest in Topic early but have soured as the season has wore on.
At this point, I'm not in favor of investing significant assets in limited - non shooters, centers and small guards with sub star potential offensively.
This is why if the draft breaks a certain way, I'd be in favor of engaging with certain teams on either pick (definitely keep one; probably the natural) on proven young or youngish players who fit.
Loved Klintman last year till he pulled out of the draft. Like a more athletic Davis Bertans.
probably won't play again this season since he's still be mocked top 5. Probably can't improve his stock anymore but could certainly hurt it.
There is no way that’s true, if anything looks like he has T-Rex arms.
lol does this look like TREX arms?

If he’s all those things, I wonder why he is so low especially THIS year. Bad feel or bbiq?
Touché sir. I was going off videos.
if we draft topic or dillinham,Do we move on from tre jones this offseason?i know we still got another year with him.
But i feel we should always have mutiple pgs who can shoot with wemby on this team,Especially if we draft topic.Tre has been
not that impressive this year with wemby,Feel like he could of done more getting wemby involved and made easier for wemby and his teammates.
But not being a pg who can space the floor hurts this team.Feel like we gonna have to draft a shooting pg in the second round
cause i dont think tre or wesley may never be good at shooting.
nah you definitely still keep Tre. he's under contract for another year and there's no rush to move off of him. theres no guarantee that a rookie PG will be ready to assume a full time role as a starter, and i dont know about you, but i dont feel great about my only backup PG being blake wesley or Bran Ham. in the best case scenario where it seems we dont need him, you can just sell him at the deadline
Worked for scrub ass Wiseman to maintain draft stock. Wouldn't touch Topic with a ten foot pole if he's that made and not coming back and playing Euroleague.
Topic's pterodactyl arms would be even crazier, if true, since his neck is so long, which means his arms are set lower than usual.
same cody williams is doing it seems.
Trade scenario:
The Spurs land the #1 and #7 picks.
Washington lands the #5 pick.
They want to trade the #5 and Bilal Coulibaly for both of our picks. Do you do it?
His body type always seemed weird to me... his legs more so than anything, it's like he's got a larger torso, arms and neck, and shorter legs. Not really sure what to make of it, probably nothing, just a curiosity.
Not really sure, probably I'd be more su ious than anything if they were willing to move on from Coulibaly this soon... are we this sure he's better than any other wing in this draft? (say, Risacher and Buzelis)
In that case, one deal I might be willing to consider is offering them to swap no. 1 for no. 5, and in turn they give the Spurs swap rights for '25 or '26 (preferably the latter).
So Spurs go from #1 + #7 to #5 + #7 + gets swap rights in '25 (or '26)
Washington goes from #5 to #1 + gives swap rights in '25 (or '26)
Another idea: #1 + Charlotte's pick + Collins for #5 + Deni Avdija + Kispert

Do you think it would require adding #7?
Nah I'd rather have Risacher. Plus #5 is probably too late to get Dillingham.
#1 for #5 AND Coulibaly? Where do I sign?
Hmm... I don't know. I guess I'm seeing Sarr (or Risacher) as 'nice to haves' rather than 'break the bank' type players. Guess I see the 1 and 5 as somewhat equivalent-ish and made up for by any supposed difference between Coulibaly and 7.
They wouldn't do it for a 25 swap with Cooper Flagg coming and even with Dybantsa and Boozer in the 26 draft class that's a pretty hefty price for two years out when #5 this year is going to be a big step down from the top 3 most likely.
