That's a fair assessment. Honestly, this has been the hardest draft I can remember to get my mind wrapped around. Having two picks in a flat draft with no consensus on a hierarchy leaves more paths that we can take than I have ever seen. Some days it is fascinating to think about and some days it's more than I wanna think about....
Mini rant over...
I wouldn’t mind Knecht at 8. This team is in big need of shooters and I think he might surprise some people with his athleticism. I think whoever you take at 4 has a lot of boom or bust potential and Knecht balances that out with a pretty solid floor.
That's where I struggle to see his fit. He needs playing time to improve, if he's able to improve. Can't do that when Keldon is the man when Vassell and Wemby are on the bench. Can we go with a 3 combo-guard lineup? Something tells me that's suicide.
This man competes..
Same. I would love to trade these picks if I thought it would lead to a solid player(s) in return. But this is a big time “trust the spurs” draft. Have to find a good player and trust regardless of my opinions they have their guys.
Thats why a Castle + Risacher draft is so interesting. Keeps SA very big and adds some shooting at least. Castle/Vassell/Risacher/Sochan/Wemby is a big lineup.
With 4+8 impossible
It's been a roller coaster for me. So many different combos and all super subjective since nobody is real sure fire. It's a draft I can't wait to look back on and re grade.
No idea how that combo realistically happens but sign me up
I'm not surprised Knecht is on the radar. Definitely makes sense. At 4 it might be a stretch, but he may go 5 anyway.
Not sure how the point guard part makes sense. None of the forwards are really more or less game ready than the points. Which points do they mean? Sheppard is probably going to see the floor in rotations right away. No player in this draft projects as an automatic starter. Might be, but it's not obvious.
From what I've read, I realistically want Knecht at 8 if we draft a point at 4. Dream realistic draft would be Shepherd and Knecht tbh. Having one rookie ready to contribute right away would be ideal. Then if Spurs do something with free agency eg Pat Williams.
Even if Spurs say go with a trade route for Garland, and keep pick 8, Knecht is still my pick.
He didn't go crazy he missed half the shots. DA SPURS FANS being enticed by a win now prospect, though.
My sense of Knecht is he ends up somewhere between Weiskamp and a shorter McDermott.
I'm not seeing him as a great piece of the puzzle around Wemby. He'll make some 3's and give up more on the other end. He could be a nice 8th-9th man on a contender for offense.
I hope we steer clear of him.
12/15 is not "half." Math is hard.
That would be in' dreamy. I'd definitely take Castle at #8 if he was there and we managed Risacher at #4. That's a playin team, if both Castle and Risacher deliver as expected.
For sure - woudl have to be happy with that outcome regardless of how it turns out. I do have a lot more worries about Castle than seemingly so many others here. I like him and would be excited if the Spurs like him too, but Im pretty firmly in the camp of Reed>Castle at this point personally.
Please please please with 8
The problem is that he has no lift on those threes. His release isn’t Uber quick. Sure he’s shooting against his imaginary friend in those shots but those are not shots he’d get in a game.
He has shown to be a great shooter in college but I’d rather have Dillingham or Sheppard.
I'll have to look at his shot again. But first thought is that he'll still have a way easier time getting his shot off than Sheppard or Dillingham.
with wemby and Vassell out there he 100% is getting easy wide open shots
Unlike most prospects in this draft (ike Castle, Holland, Williams, Salaun, etc.) this guy seems like a sure thing to stick in the league, at least as a rotation guy, imho.
I thought Dougie was going to feast with Victor out there, and he crashed and burned. There is no shooter in this draft better than last year's DM. With all the terrible passers on this team, the coaching staff is going to have to put shooters in a better position.
Still my guy after Zacch. Sam Vecenie talked about him, mentioned he is a top 5 talent in a motion heavy team like MIA, UTA and SAS. We are underrating how prospect like this can get 18-20 pts in the flow of the offense around a pivot big like Wemby.
It’s Crusty Schmarza, so no.
