Wemby should never, ever start with another traditional big.[/QUOTE sorry dup reply
Basically, the Spurs have an honest shot at getting the two best players in the draft, or at least who are visible right now. Sheppard has great promise, too.
Atlanta-Washington are in tight spots because Sarr-Risacher look like those 'safe bets' they have to take, but most likely tap out at pretty good.
Other teams have particular needs and allegiances that will affect their choices. Of course anyone can turn out, team itself matters, but at 4 and 8 the Spurs have a really good shot at this.

Tobias Harris is ceiling lol.
I would be willing to do 7&14 for #8.
Bro I'm tired of Wemby getting rest and the whole defense going to . I'm leaning towards drafting Clingan if he's there at 4. If he's not there at 4, then yeah Castle or Sheppard is fine.
This is exactly why Clingan could be a good pick.
Wemby is going to avg 30 mins a game next year, at most.
Replacing Collin’s’ minutes with someone who doesn’t suck on defense is probably worth at least 5 more wins immediately.
I also think Wemby can share the floor with a good big a few minutes a game in certain matchups.
Last but not least, when someone like Embiid or Jokic is using their beef to eat Wemby alive it would be nice to have a beefy alternative to throw out there for a few minutes.
Spurs need size. I am not opposed to taking Clingan or even Edey in this draft, as long as the other pick is a talented shooter and ideally playmaker or defender as well. Some day Wemby is going to develop that 7'5" Kevin Durant side of his game and it will make all the sense in the world to have another big on the floor for significant minutes.
Makes no sense. We get to trade up one and get an extra pick for them moving back one? A hypothetical based JUST on pick numbers would be 8 and 14 for 7
I'm pretty sure he was joking.
For the most part we should be able to draft who we want at 4 (other than Sarr & Risacher), but someone always drops and changes the complexion of the draft a bit - especially in this draft. The Spurs should prepare themselves to trade pick 8 - just in case something like that happens. Take advantage of the situation and possibly get some extra value picks or players , rather than select a meh player that really doesn't help the team much other than keeping a bench seat warm. Remember the #8 spot is a somewhat pricey salary, why waste it.
If we are drafting castle at pg instead of one of the Kentucky guys (sigh) i really hope we make a full court press for Malik Monk
and I’d much rather take Cody or Clingan than salaun

How many times a day does exstatic get told that someone was joking? Dude is as dry as his wife's Thanksgiving turkey.
You don't use a #4 pick on a backup center. EVER.
I read that too. Dudes a re . Makes no sense.
This is true. In my scenario, he would be a backup C. Saying that, he would be better than anyone we could get from the G League or free agent market and would allow for Colins to be moved. There's such a severe lack of on depth on this team.
And he could start on selective matchups.
The only reasons Castle is ranked higher than Carter are because he played for a more prestigious program, he's 3.5 inches taller and 2.6 years younger.
Castle has him by 15 pounds and 0.02 inches by wingspan, but Carter plays much bigger as evidenced by his elite "event creation" (2.8 blk% and 2.9stl % which in the NBA would tie for 30th and 1st respectively) and all-time guard rebounding (23.7 drbr % to 12 %; the former is equal to Holmes and greater than Clingan and Filipowski by .3 and 1.1% respectively).
He's also a way better 3-point shooter (37.7% on 6.6 3PA/G to 26.7% on 2/2 3PA/G).
We've seen teams constantly overrate the former's (high bust rate) archetype and underrate the latter's (high hit rate) archetype for these same reasons.
The Spurs have been beneficiaries with the likes of Hill, Murray and White. Others include Caruso, Podziemski, Nembhard, Mann, Melton, Brogdon, Brown and Quickley.
If we don’t draft Sheppard or Dilly at 4 I have no problem with picking Carter at 8
He's a year older on his draft day, but Devin Carter kind of blows Jalen Williams out of the water in advanced stats.

These don't seem like trivial reasons to me.
i dont buy too much carter's shoot by seeing his % during three years in college, castle is more versatile on D imo.
I would not mind Castle at 4 and Carter at 8 - That is some Doom Day Defense with those two and you add Wemby to that mix...Also, with Carter he got the burst to beat you off dribble and he has gotten so much better with his 3 ball and also handling the rock
I think I’ve commented this before but, but the last time Devin Carter played UCONN this year he had 24 points 15 Reb and 4 AST. Those are some dawg numbers against that stacked UCONN team
Castle and carter would be cool.Would be a immediate upgrade over branham and wesley and tre jones.
