2024 NBA Draft Thread

[LeBowen]

I’m going to quote this and respond every time anyone posts this.

NO ONE IN THIS DRAFT IS NBA READY.

Tbh, we shouldn't talk about NBA ready, but better than Champagnie, Branham, Wesley and Mamu ready.

[Rocalcio]

Honestly, I think everyone’s going to be happy no matter what the Spurs do because we have two picks in this draft.

You can be sure some guys here will be blaming PATFO 1 month after the beginning of the season because they passed on a guy who is having a better start than the players they picked.

[Atl Spur]

I've never seen a more on brand post than Miss Cleo advocating for the Spurs to pick Boban Edey at #4

Poor you….. still at it huh? I said a few weeks back you boys were seeing Edey all wrong and now the numbers are here to support it I have the receipts. Who would you rather have Steven Adam’s or Edey? BTW, are you saying Boban and Edey are the same type player? Asking for a friend

Are Champ, Branham and Wesley NBA ready? I'm still waiting

[BackHome]

With almost zero shooting . This lineup would be horrendous offensively. Don't think we take both Castle and Holland. Just guessing here, but unless a second wing is clearly BPA, I think PATFO take one wing and one guard (assuming we keep both picks).

Do you really think anyone we draft this year are going to start and get major minutes there first year? The only way I see that happening is if they trade Blake and Branham and I just don’t see that happening unless a major trade works out.

[LeBowen]

I bet that neither Branham or Wesley are on the roster for 25-26 season and that Champagnie will never be anything more than 10th man in the rotation.

Tbh, just call Detroit before the draft and ask them about Cade. They're not going anywhere for at least three more years and he hasn't signed an extension yet.

Why wouldn't they? This isn't the Spurs of old competing for chips and not needing rookies. This team is hot garbage outside of Wemby and aside him and Vassell no one is good enough to be getting guaranteed minutes

Sochan started right away. Yes, they definitely will start at least one rookie right away. The Spurs treat their top 10 picks differently than their non-top 10. It’s a myth that they don’t play rookies just because we had so many rookies in the past that didn’t play. They were drafted late. That’s all it was.

[Ariel]

So has there been any news on why Dilly missed the strength and agility tests? If he just straight up ducked it, that’s really concerning

https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/sto...nts-stats-more

Rob Dillingham, PG, Kentucky: Dillingham, a projected top-five pick who ranks No. 4 in our Top 100, wasn't able to fully participate in the draft combine Monday. He sprained an ankle in a workout two weeks ago, Klutch Sports agent Lucas Newton told ESPN, and is expected to be out for another two to four weeks. Even with a more conservative timetable, Dillingham should have enough days available before the June 26 draft to conduct workouts with teams as needed, though he may not need to do more than a handful given his draft projections.

[jjspur]

If Wesley and Branham were drafted by other teams and had the same stats, they would be in the G-league or cut. Every so often they had a decent game, but these guys don't add that much to our team that can't be replaced by one of our draftees. Please don't talk about wasted salaries. The team has spent many millions on players that never set foot on the spurs court and still got paid for doing nothing. Think Marcus Morris.. Yeah he was part of a trade but we got next to nothing for it. Wesley and Branham should be let go, it wont hurt that much. We just have to be smart with our draft picks.

[Ariel]

Definitely feels like a Miami Heat pick, with him being slightly older and maybe more likely to contribute immediately.

Plus his father is former Miami player and current staff member Anthony Carter.

[Mugen]

Maybe BWrong should package #4/#8 to trade up to to #1 just to make sure we don't lose out on him

[heyheymymy]

Damn man that's a perfect narrative. Miami gets 2 really nice picks in a row with Jaquez Jr. and Carter if so. Good info, thanks.

I knew as soon as the picks were announced that 2000's era Spur fan would show up and start stanning for Edey.

No disappoint detected.

Anthony Carter is a former Spur too

[OldMan88]

Carter interests me. Highlight clips are never anything you’d want to hang your hat on, but they can certainly make you go hmmm ��. I like the strength he shows in the paint and making good use of contact. Shot looks decent with a very quick release. Definitely has the balls to take difficult shots. Could be a good option for 8th.

[Raven]

well fck. If Castle comes in at 6'6 I want him as our PG at 8 but doubt he makes it there at that height

wingspan isn't good for that height which brings questions

[Atl Spur]

I guess Minnesota has the same fans with worst pieces. Edey can work with specific teams as stated above, not all….. I have no problem explaining.

Still waiting for that answer sport…. Just trolling to be trolling again? I’ll let you make it

[LeBowen]

6'9 wingspan is plenty for a guard.
Except Dillingham, measurements of every other player Spurs will target are fine. It's all about their basketball IQ and skillset.
Athleticism means if they can't play.

[Raven]

Matas and Holland will be gone by 8, which leaves the PGs. Unless the Spurs want to take a second PG (barf), they’re likely looking at a swing on Cody for Saluan at 8.

think those two are the easiest busts to project

[Raven]

I was not into Castle all, until I saw that he was only an inch shorter than the supposed 6 foot 8 wings, Holland and Williams. Then you throw in that he could play PG, SG, or SF. He’s 6 foot 6. Outside shooting looks good at combine. The clincher is take a look at his highlights, he’s a can’t miss prospect.



He checks every box for us, he’s a chameleon. Then if we still take Dilly, Topic, or Sheppard at 8 that’s fine also.

he didn't look like the pg in this video.

Of course he's trolling you. Your take isn't serious and doesn't deserve a serious answer. It's no one's problem but you're own that you can't figure that out.

[Mugen]

Anybody that thinks Edey should go top 5 isn't a serious person tbh. Just keep looking at that crystal ball
