the overwhelming question is >>>>
Is Risacher worth the pursuit??
i do hope we can get some free agents who could "mentor" our core group
probably next year, i understand that we shall have glimmers of the core group? Wemby, Vassell, etc etc

Is Risacher worth the pursuit??
Might have been shared already but Matas Buzelis posted on his Instagram story that he was working out in WAS and they had a big presentation on there Jumbotron welcoming him, obviously doesn’t mean he’s WAS bound for sure but feel like that’s a lot of work to do for a guy if he’s not somebody they’re seriously considering drafting.
I think he's (matas) our pick at #4 if he lasts that long.
It's like they're trying to recruit him instead of drafting him.
I see Buzelis rising past Rizz.
Keshad Johnson had a workout with the Spurs.
I would draft Buz a million times out of a million over Riz. The archetype is just so much better if he pans out… he could be a big Bird!
Risacher will be gone at 4
One FO will take him to cover themselves bc of his hype
Here is a list of the known workouts by the Wizards: https://x.com/GregFinberg/status/1802010717236732156
Hornet fans seem to see their top 3 as Castle, Reed, and Holland. Clingan has some fans but there is a big debate about Mark Williams.
I bet they could be sold on trading back with the Spurs at 8 if Holland is the only one left from that list. Obviously Spurs would have make good on their threat to take Castle at 4 for it to work.
Best for me for a while has been taking our player at 4 and trading up to 6, as you say. At this point that's Castle and then preference. But at this point I don't think Dillingham is on the Spurs radar so I don't really know if it's necessary. I think Reed will either be gone or a Spurs preference and I dont' think Holland is on their radar, either.
Youre right. I struggle to see who they’d love so much at 6 that may not be there at 8 (or a consolation prize they can live with). It’s probably more a contingency in case ZR falls to 4, but that seems unlikely.
I suppose the more interesting scenario is trading back from 8, if they’re deadset on players like Carter, Salaun or Williams.
— From Chicago, could they nab that lotto protected POR pick CHI owns, or swap some players along with picks (Wesley/Ayo), etc.
— Does Utah send us 29 with 10, so that spurs have fodder, together with 35, to grab someone they like in the late teens?
— would Memphis give up its 2030 FRP swap with WAS/PHX (least favorable) to swap 8 for 9.
I started with wanting Dillingham at 4 and then, seeing Charlotte as most likely to nab Castle of the next three, jumping to the Hornets' pick to secure him. Since then, Dillingham has seemed to drop. I'm still perplexed by this for reasons I've recorded all over the place, and I do think teams are way overthinking this. I don't get why Detroit seems to not see him as among their right players.
But whatever. Maybe there's something behind the scenes that's turning teams off. Maybe they really bought into the measurement problems as if Detroit doesn't just need a super-talented scorer. Of course I could be wildly wrong about Dillingham, although I still see one of the top 5 or so more talented players in this draft.
The above scenario could stand if they're hiding great interest in a Buzelis and still want Castle. So go for that Hornets pick.
I do see trading out of the 8 is a big possibility.
Executive summary from the above -- Nikola Djurisic will remain in the draft.
Interesting...
Any surprises here? Are most these guys draft and stash types?
Afaik the only surprising one is Izan Almansa withdrawing, from Ignite. I don't think there's any other surprises.
numbers suggest Traore had a strong finish of the season. There were for sure plenty of NBA scouts around at most French league games. Seems as if he had good games against Risacher and Salaun. He might be a bycatch.
You’re a for quoting that whole post.
Juan nunez in the second round
Nunez is probably good enough to become a rotation guy, but someone better than him is probably going to slide.
