Does RC Buford play any part in the Spurs selection process?
It sounds like the new management is opting to start over, which is the right move (finally!).

That's fine. Knecht is almost required if the shooting of the #4 pick is in question.
Also fine but kind of unlikely now.Risacher at 4 and Castle/Dillingham at 8.
I agree with Baseline, I think it smoke screen to get a team to trade up to trade for him maybe work something out with the Grizz.
It's funny him complaining about fat women when he's a lardass.
the closer we get to the draft, the more I think the team make-up needs to be:
PG who can get the ball where it needs to go
SG - 3&D (minimum)
SF - 3&D (minimum)
PF - 3&D (minimum)
C - Wemby
It makes me pray for Risacher to fall to us at #4. Topic may be best for getting the ball where it needs to go, but I can't overlook Castle's defense either.
Then Ulrich Chomche at #35 (6'11.5" 3&D PF with 7'4" wingspan who shot 38% from 3pt on 8.4 attempts per 36min).
i dont think bigger blake wesley is really what the team needs right now
Him and Sengun would not work well together.
We’re getting Topic aren’t we? Lots of mocks now having Dillingham at 3.
As much as I like Castle, I don’t think they’ll take him with 4. They be OK seeing if he falls to 8.
In this world I think they go:
Topic + Castle
Topic + Williams
Topic + Saluan
Topic + Matas
(I assume DET takes Reed)
Am I crazy thinking topic has a higher chance to drop to 8 than Castle does? I don’t see Topic as a piston, Hornet, or trailblazer kinda player could be wrong tho
No, that's a perfectly reasonable take.
No chance Castle goes past Hornets.
Topic is a bad defender with questionable shot and all those teams already have a playmaker. I think they wouldn't pick him even if he was healthy. It would be really upsetting if Spurs took Topic with #4.
Nope. Agree with you there, cause Castle ain't making it to 8. Think the Spurs would definitely take Castle over Topic if both are available at 4. Neither can shoot the ball right now, but at least Castle offers great if not elite Defense right off the bat, as well as versatility on that end to defend 1-3. Topic is more of a wild card imo because he's likely going to be a poor defender his entire career due to his lack of athleticism/foot speed. His offensive ceiling is higher due to his play-making ability, especially if he figures out that shot, but if he never reaches it, then he could easily become nothing more than an average role player at best who cant defend. And if Castle figures out his shot, then he almost certainly becomes the better, more impactful two-way player.
I'm taking Castle over Topic all day tbh, though I wouldn't hate Topic at 8 if we don't land Castle at 4 for some reason.
Topic also has the durability concerns already early on in his career. Hopefully its just bad luck and nothing more, but definitely something GM's and scouts will have to consider while scouting him.
The Spurs won’t be able to help themselves, lol.
Spurs issues
shooting and defense
Topic's weaknesses
shooting and defense
Also a China doll
Shooting is more important than defense when measuring a player's worth unless it a potential elite rim protector like Sarr. Gotta take a shooter at 4 and swing on a defender with no jumper at 8. Supply and demand really plays a role in who to take at 4 VS 8.
On the other hand, it makes sense for WAS to realize that no one on their team is good enough to stop them from taking whoever they feel is the best player available (much like the Spurs should, outside of Wemby).
If they do take Risacher, I'd be curious as to their appe e to move some of their other wings.
I'd be happy with Castle and Reed with 4+8
You really think Poole, Kuzma, or even Kispert enter the equation when deciding who to pick at 2 for a team that is probably tanking for 3 more seasons? Really?
If they think Risacher is the best fit, he's their guy. I think Atlanta probably takes him TBH, but otherwise he's likely gone at 2 unless the Spurs are absolutely crazy about him and make a ridiculous offer for him (hope not).
I think Coulibaly is off limits, Deni I'm not sure, probably they don't move him unless it's an offer they can't refuse, people usually name him as an older guy with no upside but dude just turned 23 this year, he's about as old as Dalton Knecht who is yet to be drafted. Everyone else is probably available for the right price.
That's the biggest issue here..
Supply and Demand would seem to indicate that you take the defender at 4 and the shooter at 8. There's only 1 elite defender and at least 3, if not 4, shooters available.
I think that's the best (reasonably possible) pairing in the top 10.
To me it's the lack of shooting with no in between game either. Not gonna get to the basket if everyone can just drop back and take away the drive every possession.
I've been wanting Deni here for a while now. It's something I'd explore after the draft though. Let Washington draft Risacher and then 'figure it out over the summer' strategy. I'm not giving top picks in 25 or 26, but there are other picks and players I'd consider when rounding out this team.
