    So I’m thinking have defense be the iden y of this team next year; what do you think of this lineup?

    Wemby - c
    Sarr (#3) - pf
    Dunn (#33) - sf
    Castle (#7) - sg
    Sochan - pg

    i think we would have a great chance in leading the league in threes (missed).
    Sarr can’t play PF

    Wemby is closer to pf than Sarr is and as we saw early this season he’s not close to being there yet

    There’s no way in that Dun lasts to #33. He’s late lottery in many mocks.

    I’m curious what knechts measurables end up looking like. He’s fine but if he’s just a 2 he’s pretty redundant with Vassell who is the only good starter we have other than wemby. If knecht looks really good there he could make Vassell a more tradeable asset but I’d be more intrigued if Knecht had the size and length to play the 3
    I think you're confusing good with least ty there on Vassell

    Sochan should never play pg again. He shouldn't even be starting.

    Sarr can’t play PF. He’s not athletic enough and can’t shoot. He’s like Sochan. Team needs athletic players.

    Sarr is athletic, Sarr is 7'1 and Sochan is only 6'8 and doesn't jump well. Sarr shoots better inside the 3 point line than Sochan, shoot about the same from 3. Sarr is a huge upgrade to Sochan at pf.

    Sarr is not athletic. He cannot jump or move laterally. Sarr is a low volume shooter. He cannot play pf.

    lol you making that up. I never said that. I said trade Toronto pick for Giddey + Okc pick (about #12 right now). By the way, here’s some thoughts on who would be great gets for the spurs this offseason ( spoiler: giddy included in list!):

    We should just trade for his older brother Oliver Sarr. Played in gleague the other night and got 30/13 with 3 steals and 4 blocks.

    I've been thinking about comps for Castle lately, and I wonder if he might not have a similar early career to a guy like Jalen Suggs. Fairly similar situations as large defense-first combo guards with questionable outside shots whose creation potential might have been masked by playing in a 3 guard lineup in college. Suggs was playing with Nembhard and Ayayi at Gonzaga while Castle is getting used as a utility wing with Spencer and Newton. He also played as a lead guard in HS and seems to have decent vision that's better than what his numbers show. I also worry a little about his anemic steal rate but just based on eye test his defense has been excellent all year so I'm not going to stress too much about it as he seems to be a solid B athlete by NBA standards. Suggs was a great defender in college both from eye test and numbers standpoint and had a way higher motor, but Castle is bigger so he may have the potential to get close in that regard.

    If the spurs do draft him, I'd be prepared for a lot of pain in his early career especially on offense. Suggs' first 2 years were truly awful on offense and his shooting signal was actually better than Castle's. The guy's not completely hopeless as he as a decent FT% and his shot mechanics look sound but you might be looking at 30% or lower for 2-3 years from 3 and being basically unguarded for a couple years. I don't know that he can play together with Sochan until at least one of their jumpers improves significantly. You might even be able to play him at backup wing if you have enough spacing around him. However, if he pans out he does represent the kind of positional size that you're looking for if you're building a defense with no weak links.

    Dejounte was selected in the third round with the 291st overall pick in the 2020 scout draft.

    Yes he can, and will. His mobility for a big being actually one of his main qualities.

    Interesting, your only 2 options …

    Not sure what make ppl want to keep seing Tre Jones handling the ball lmao

    Some of u are brainwashed
    Tre Jones level players are great value in the second round. Most second rounders never see the floor.

    Castle seems like the pick with the highest upside.

    Buzelis may have higher upside in my opinion as he seems more skilled. But maybe a higher bust potential, as Castle seems to play harder.

    At this point, I believe you're confusing him with someone else.

    As detailed in any scouting report, for those who just never simply watched him... Sarr is an athletic big whose vertical and lateral mobility, that allows him to defend the rim and the perimeter, are what makes him a top prospect in this draft. He can and will play PF in the NBA, the comparison doesn't stand overall, but he's comparable to Kevin Garnett in terms of mobilty.

    He wouldn't be there otherwise.

    (You can start at 1:45 and skip the dude talk, then notably and more attentively check at the 3:00 mark, to have a clearer idea of his lateral mobility).

    Possibly. I mean, Suggs crushes him in most advanced stats but castle eye tests well and his role this year is so different from how he was used in hs so you’re really betting on his positional size and hidden creation upside if he can play as a guard. If you play him as a wing connector he’s probably decent but nothing special.

    Ive never seen so much confusion as to what a players skill set is more than Sarr. Half say he's athletic and shoot 3's the other half says he's not athletic and cant shoot. I have no idea what this kid can do and that's pretty scary if he's talked about as a top 3.

    You gotta have at least an outline of what he can do.

    He'll definitely be an elite defender. And he's athletic. No question about that.

    Shooting is a big question mark and will decide if he's just a good role player or a potential all-star.
    Defensively, he'd be a perfect fit with Wemby. But if he can't shoot, it wouldn't work on offense.

    As I said a while back, I'd still take him if we get the first pick. He's easily the best prospect in this draft and our roster is horrible, we need good players.
    He'd guarantee 48 minutes of elite defense at C and he'd be under no immediate pressure to develop his shot.

    Then a few years down the line, we could easily trade him for a better fit with Wemby if he doesn't develop his shot.
    Kind of what Kings and Pacers did with Sabonis and Haliburton.

    BPA as long as you're not a good team, then look for a fit around your best player when it's time to become a legit playoff threat.

    If PATFO doesn't want him, they still have to trade down. Passing on him shouldn't be an option if there's a chance to make the pick.
