    If Reed is gone then I’d take Risacher and hope Castle is still available at 8. Posters here are saying teams at 5-7 picks don’t need a PG so any of Castle/Dilly could be available.
    If you’re low or even meh on Castle as a PG, you could still draft him as a wing. He has the size and game for that, too, in which case, he could easily be snapped up at 5,6,7. Other than Topic, who’s a pure play PG, none of the rest could play up a position or two like Castle. Dilly has a much higher chance to fall through a group of teams not needing a PG.

    Yes Castle is who you need to draft at 4 as he is not a pure pg and will more likely get drafted from 5-7, can be played at the 1 or 2. And would be great on the Spurs because of that versatility.

    in that case, why would you draft him at all...

    Because he’s multi positional as a worst case, and a jumbo PG in the best case. Either way, he’s a monster defender.

    25 points for Risacher after 3Q.

    If you want to be a Spur, don't play too well, Zacharie...

    It's uncanny how nearly identical Bronny James's combine numbers were to Reed Sheppard's.

    Lane Agility
    Bronny: 10.96
    Sheppard: 10.96

    Shuttle Run
    Bronny: 3.02
    Sheppard: 3.03

    Three Quarter Sprint
    Bronny: 3.09
    Sheppard: 3.08

    Standing Vertical Leap
    Bronny: 32"
    Sheppard: 32.5"

    Max Vertical Leap
    Bronny: 40.5"
    Sheppard: 42"

    You can argue the same with Wemby and Bol Bol, but the product is not the same.
    Exactly. Don’t fall in love with measurables and anthro. They still need to be able to play basketball. Weighting this kind of too highly caused guys like SGA and Book to drop to the late lottery, while lesser more athletic candidates were drafted ahead of them.

    I certainly wasn't trying to say that Bronny is similar to Sheppard! My point is Bronny's now being praised for his "athletic upside," while Sheppard had an incredibly impactful year plus the athletic upside, which totally goes against the pre-combine takes on him as a great shooter who wasn't necessarily very athletic.

    I suspect the Hawks are going to select Risacher with the first pick, Wizards - Topic and Rockets - Sarr. That leaves the Spurs to take Reed Sheppard at 4, Pistons - Castle, Hornets - Dillingham, Portland - Holland, and the Spurs will have to choose Buzelis. I doubt any team is mad enough to take a center in the high lottery slots.

    You can't be 6' 1.75'' with a 6'3.25'' wingspan and average nearly a block a game without having insane athleticism

    You're more or less describing Jalen Williams.

    Not the same player, but strength can really matter for a guard.
    if Carter plays PG full time then I don’t have a problem with it but as a SG he will be undersized and not sure that he’ll able to block people from the back as the blow by him. He seems that have great speed but not first step or lateral motion.

    Jalen Williams has a 7’2 wingspan that 5” more than Carter. Carter might still be an upgrade over what we have

    Salaun and Risacher sure picked good times to have their best games... these guys both probably added millions of dollars to their future earnings this week.

    You don’t see Sarr as a center? That would be a minority opinion.

    Williams kinda plays SG now, no? Positions can get confusing and beside the point anyway, but I'd say FTA plays PG for them.

    Because the Spurs need help desperately at every position other than center. Victor is the only core piece on the roster.

    With Sarr's mobility and ability to defend the perimeter, he could probably eventually play 3-5.

    Not even close to the skills for 4, let alone 3, imo. Defense is only half the game.

    Sarr/Risacher going top 2 is a lock, if we not moving up to get one of them we need at four to go with the high risk high reward Cody Williams trying to make him a mini Kawhi

    For now you may be right, but he's shown some glimpses of "on the move" offensive potential. If he can develop that, his potential is pretty high.
