Are you really being fair with Topic?
What about the possibility that he's quitting on his team like Samanic? That isn't even on your list!
Dillingham coming off his guys on helps. Not overly defending the guy, but these have been his coaches the last three years:
- Kanye West, at Donda Academy
- OverTime Elite. I assume they might have coaches
- John Calipari
Best prospect in March Madness I’ve seen so far has been Dunn. Damn Virginia can’t score AT ALL but this kid dominates on defense. At least that’s a definite transferable skill to the nba. Unfortunately he would probably make Sochan look like Steph Curry (Deja vu?) so we will definitely draft him.
College basketball is terrible. I don’t understand how people regularly watch these games. And the people who say college basketball is better than the nba are just the dumbest people on earth
Rooting for Toronto to keep losing tbh
Saigon, you're still in Saigon... .
Just stare into the ceiling fan blades before the MP's throw you into the cold shower.
^ good, could we know de-hype these UK prospects?? Any other draft they’re being selected 17-24.
Sheppard would, Dillingham would still go lottery.
The entertainment isn't the basketball, it's the gambling.
I still like Furphy for Kansas, although it feels he still needs another year for development. The skills aren't quite there, like self-creation, but he hustles, gets a good number of rebounds from relentless movement and activity, just ran a fastbreak where he handled his body for a pass that could have easily been a charge - and made a smart read. Not quite the shooter Gradey was last year, but good there. His defensive stats are surprisingly good, like 3.3 DPBM.
He and Kyshawn George are wings who could float into lottery range or late teens. I'd rather take them there than be forced to pick at 8 in this draft. Not sure how you'd get there, though.
RDCWorld ting on the NCAA tourney
In my view, the tourney can only help a player's stock. These are kids -- it's fine for them to have a bad game. Especially for a team like the Spurs who aren't looking for a franchise player, they don't need to be able to come in and carry the team. A player who plays consistently well in a playoff setting should get more looks, but if they thought a player was a good prospect before, losing one game won't change that. The Spurs shouldn't be looking for Wemby's 2024-2025 co-star in the draft. As much as it bothers ESPN and some fans, the team isn't at that point yet. Whomever the Spurs draft should absolutely be expected to be fourth, fifth, sixth or even lower on the list of best players on the team coming in.
There are a number of posters who'd gladly trade the Spurs' pick and maybe even the Raptors pick for Coulibaly, and dude would've graded out as one of the five worst players on the team this year by a wide margin. Are those posters crazy? I think they're wrong, but I don't think it's unreasonable to still believe in a guy with tools who didn't put it together immediately. Whomever the Spurs draft should get the same benefit of the doubt. That goes even more when you look at guys like Miller and Amen who started off getting on on this forum but have had great rookie seasons. The Spurs could draft "the right guys" and have it easily look like the guys are unexciting or too raw to help immediately. That's okay, because Wemby is also there. I don't want to repeat myself, so I won't get too into that in this thread. But the important thing is that the Spurs in a position to be patient with their picks. If they want some more actualized players on the team (and they should), they have ways of getting those guys, but their long-term success is still going to be aided by them taking the time to draft and develop prospects while they still have the high picks to do so.
Just draft this Defensive Tackle from NC State. He’d at least be a fan favorite.
Not sure why I wouldn't want Johnny Furphy at #21 rather than Risacher at #2.
Dejuan Blair - Dave Cowens mixture.
really think you gotta take rookie scale contract panic out of your repertoire tbh
Question Toronto pick is top 6 protected so if their pick is top 6 what happens? Does it move to the next year and each following year until it isn't top 6?
Lol, no.
And why is Risacher even ranked better than Furphy anyway? He does nearly everything better.

I wouldn't rule out Salaun , history tells us there are several french prospects that would hit big out of this batch. This is Tony's generation of prospect.
For two additional years, then it becomes seconds.
