apparently risacher sucked ass today again
Surprised I haven't seen Ajay Mitc make any headway in the mocks. I like him with the Spurs SRP if there (assuming we don't simply punt our SRP again).
apparently risacher sucked ass today again
Saw this: “He’s shooting 28% from 3 and 34% from 2 over his last 5 games.”
Muh shooting
muh 6’9” small forward archetype
i’ve been calling it for a while now. Dude provides nothing if he’s not making his shots. We don’t need more one dimensional players like this.
lol Spilts always with the low investment posts
just makes me think some posters on this site are young and foolish.
to everyone else, thanks for the write-ups and content. learn a lot here otherwise
I was throwing his name around maybe about a month ago. Looks like a great option for a SRP. Just maybe not super athletic.
Which would be these "one-dimensional" players that we have?
Clearly not Wemby. Vassell is a three level scorer showing glimpses of playmaking. Sochan is a versatile defender with a bit of point forward abiltiy. Keldon, another three level scorer that can play 2 to 4, Tre is a floor general that can pass the ball and attack the basket. Wesley a great point of attack defender that is believed to develop on offense. Branham, another versatile scorer. Collins, a big man that can stretch the ball and a decent passer for a center.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all these players are good at what they do, just that their "skillset" isn't one-dimensional. They were drafted/signed with the idea of them all being able to do a bit of everything both on offense and defense in this "socialist. Everybody eats. Everybody is a PG" style of play that Pop wants to implement.
The problem? They fixated too much on these "do it all" prototypes that were very raw (specially on the shooting department) instead of getting a couple of "specialists" here and there. I, for once, would welcome with open arms an above average 3 pt shooter, with great positional size and good defense, tbh. Even if they can't do much else.
We had McDermott who’s exactly as I described and was the odd man out because these do-it-all archetypes were clearly more useful than a plain shooter who does nothing else on the court. Rissacher would be another McDermott out there and it would be the biggest mistake the Spurs could ever make.
Castle and Knecht. I could live with that. I still haven't given up on Collier - has some star potential but some triple D bust potential as well. But Castle and Knecht seems like a balanced draft. But I see them going more like Castle and Kyshawn George.

Ripped that from elsewhere. That's rough. It's a young player in high compe ion, but he didn't do anything to make up for bad shooting and as mentioned, has been trending badly on his shots. Just have overall had a bad feeling for him. He's a player you want to consider at pick 10 or 12, not 1 or 2.
McDermott was the "odd man out" because this was a developmental year. Pop preffered to give minutes to the youngsters over McDermott. If we would have been playing for the playoffs, you can bet McDermott would have gotten a lot more minutes and would have been a key piece.
Also, you kinda contradicted yourself. You said you wanted no more "one-dimensional" players, and the only name you brought is McDermott, who isn't no longer in the club, because, in your opinion, wasn't as good as these "do-it-all" archetypes that we have. So, which one is it? We have too many one-dimensional players, or we don't?
didnt watch that game so i dont know if he defended well. from what i understand he's often asked to guard other team's top options as well. mcdermott was one of the worst defensive players in the league, so if he wasnt hitting shots, he wasnt just passive/invisible like champagnie who is at least a mediocre level defender, but was actively hurting the team
Castle is just as big of a bust potential as Collier, tbh.
Saying I want no more one dimensional players wasn’t in reference to current players on the roster but in general. I’m glad the Spurs have been letting these types go over the years: Mills, Forbes, Bertans, McDermott. I want no more of these guys. And no, McDermott was let go because a player of his ilk has no place on any team that doesn’t have an elite creator (the actual archetype we should go for).McDermott was the "odd man out" because this was a developmental year. Pop preffered to give minutes to the youngsters over McDermott. If we would have been playing for the playoffs, you can bet McDermott would have gotten a lot more minutes and would have been a key piece.

These re s tried to make Livio Jean Charles look like a good pick at the time. Not enough words can be said about the hard-on ST posters get for European scrubs.
Risacher is going to be a ty reach just like Coulibaly was. Laughable that he’s everyone’s lock for our own pick.
Reliable shooters is all I ask
Sure, he definitely can. But Castle is one of the key players on a NCAA-championship-level team and he has the physical tools to succeed.
I want to take a closer look at Collier, mostly because looking at Sheppard's man defense was seriously depressing, although Collier's season is basically over. I think he has one more game.
I really hope there isn’t a dumbass out there that still wants Sarr with our first pick. If there is, just watch every minute Victor has shared the court with Barlow and you’ll see how awful a non-shooting big is to his game. Don’t think the Spurs even scored the time they were together in the second quarter.
Exact same can be said about Topic. A non-shooting PG like Wesley has been unplayable next to Victor and it’s made for some egregious play.
Shooting, shooting, shooting. Don’t be cute B Wrong
They are now asking for Castle and Collier, tbh.
Tre is a non-shooting PG but he's ok with Vic because he can competently run an offense and is a plus passer
He’s also having a shooting outlier, 4-7 from three as I type this. Also notice how you said ok, and not good or great? We’ve yet to seen Wemby with a 40% 3pt shooting PG that will actually pull their guy to the outside every time on Vic post ups.
Dilly or Sheppard have to be top 2 on our board, and it can’t be close with how weak the top of this draft is.
Tre is limited in more ways than just shooting. he's also not explosive when attacking the paint, so isnt too much of a blow-by threat. its why he winds up with so many games with less than 4-5 FGA. he's shooting well today but like you said its an outlier performance. even with a non-shooting PG, its possible to run a good offense. but it would help if the other staters could shoot well. champagnie is the "specialist" but he's shooting 37% from 3. sochan has had hot streaks but is 33% for the season, so not good. obviously when the other starters arent shooting well, it magnifies Tre's lack of shooting
i like both dillingham and sheppard
Of course there are huge bust potentials in this draft. That's not a new revelation. You can share your preferences for players to draft if you like. But if you and Yacht want shooting only then what, draft Knecht #1??
Edit: I see Yacht wants Dill or Sheppard.
Risacher, Dillingham, Sheppard, Knecht. Chomche in the second round.
Sign me up for Dilly or Sheppard with our pick and Knecht with the Raptors pick. The more I watch the top 15 prospects the more I hate them. Non shooting right away knocks 10 of them out. Half of them have numerous game stretches where they ghost like Vassell did tonight, ESPECIALLY Cody Williams who I hate the most. Being on Ignite is a straight no for me, Holland and Buzelis (net negative…) both can’t shoot for and their team is 2-24 for a reason.
If we’re trading for Trae, I would have no problem trading both this year if it lets us protect some of our picks for better drafts.
Wes is just bad.
