Someone needs to explain why they think Cody Williams or Risacher are actually top 10 or even lottery picks, even in this draft. They're very, very poor.
As of this draft cycle, they have to give medicals to everyone, and all players must be weighed and measured at the combine. The exception is if your league is still going on, like maybe Topic will experience.

Spurs will most likely draft topic or dillingham..it will be a nig surprise if they pick a different name beside those 2.
I'd love a Sarr @#3 and Dilly @ #7 would be ideal. A high potential upside draft with Sarr's defensive pluses negating Dilly's defensive negatives. Conversely Dilly's offensive positives outweighing Sarr's shortcomings on offense.
Thanks, good context. The mental/physical wall argument makes sense to me once it was explained how many games he’s logged this year. I hadn’t appreciated that.
On drafting, I see the world similarly with a slight preference for scenario 1 if they land the TOR pick too. I’d personally be very pleased with drafting Risacher and Williams. I’m also higher on Matas than most here.
For me it’s archetype.
The player I have in mind as the ideal front court pair next to Wemby is Houston’s Jabari Smith: 3/D, size, and doesn’t NEED the ball to be effective.
I rely on the credible draft analysts for their takes since I really don’t follow college/foreign leagues closely at all. These two are consistently rated as among the top wing prospects (Sarr is a Center to me) by those folks. If someone surpassed them at the combine (Matas?) that’s who I’ll happily gravitate too.
I’m not a fan of the small guards in this draft. They’re not elite enough to overcome their holes.
I know G league ignite players have not really turned out but Tyler Smith is an intriguing fit next to wemby
Sarr won’t be there at 3.
If you're drafting Sarr you're drafting a backup big. Not sure why we would do that.
Feels like a draft to potentially get two Top-10 picks in. Trade options?
They won’t trade him for our picks. Nothing less than the return of all of their picks and swaps will do.
Who knows. Brian Wright it too re ed to go after a superstar guard anyway.
simping for the former detroit executive is crazy
Cause teams want to fill their roster with position other than guards and centers.
Oh no! Not Trae Young: this guy is terrible at defense, he has bad % at 3 pts for a so-called 3 pt specialist...besides the Hawks are better since he's not here

Draft day trade of:
SAS FRP 2024
CHA FRP 2025
Keldon + Malaki + Graham
For Darius Garland
They're not that stupid.
I'd love Garland here, but it doesn't look like Mitc will stay with the Cavs, meaning that they have no incentive to trade Garland.
Through my extensive testing and advanced simulation I have found that this is the most likely outcome of the draft.
This draft is so ing flat that I wouldn't be surprised by a wide range of results on draft night.
This board looks crazy compared to the others but who's to say the Clingan isn't the safest pick to ensure a good player out of this year?
Who can prove that Cody Williams will turn his talent into something when playing at NBA level and forced to increase his paltry volume?
Will Topic learn to shoot?
Can Dilly hang with his stature? Can he play any D at all?
Risacher has just fallen off cliff. Which version is the real Zaccharie?
It goes on and on.
With so much uncertainty, the chances of the Spurs making a pick that no one else expects is very high.
It's hard to call anyone a reach in this one when all of them feel like reaches.
Who do you say are the most likely guys we might want that could be seen as big "reaches" on draft night?
I think Filipowski, Furfy, and Devin Carter are three guys we might secretly like and take way before anyone else thinks they should go.
Only in MAGA logic could contextualizing his role be conflated for "simping" for him.

You gotta let the hate go brother! Presti and all the other GM’s you guys fawn over have won 0 chips.
Clingan probably IS the "safest" in that his role is the easiest to project and he's not going to be a bust. But I also think his upside is barely above average starting center, he can't shoot AT ALL not just 3s but even FTs, and he's got a history of weight jumps and feet injuries. All of that makes me think that anyone who'd take Clingan #1 is simply not confident enough to take a risk and shouldn't be making these kind of decisions. I'd rather take a risk on a player with higher potential knowing that he can also bust even in a flat draft riddled with question marks such as this one. Work out Dillingham, Buzelis, Risacher, Sarr, Topic, and take whomever you feel most comfortable with, or just trade back or out altogether. Personally I think Clingan should go to a team that is already set and could use a traditional center at a controlled cost, like Memphis or OKC, but never for a team such as Detroit, Washington, Charlotte, Spurs, Portland, Utah or Toronto, those teams should take a chance if they pick high.
How many has Wright won?
