It’s hard to tell. In a draft like this, teams may very well not be willing to pay much to move up so there may be a surprising lack of movement up due to teams with higher picks not wanting bad optics of feeling like they gave up a “top 10 pick” for too little?
So may be a situation where there is no such thing as a reach really and teams just get their guys despite some mocks saying it would be a reach
Theres plenty of combos that make sense: Castle + Carter. Risacher + Cody etc…
But if definitely feels like we may be shaping up (assuming no trades in top 3) with: Clingan to ATL, Sarr to WAS and Reed to HOU. What does the board want for SA in that scenario?
Said they hadn’t worked out any Ignite players. Maybe that’s a thing with them.
Castle, every day, and twice on Sunday.
while id be content just taking risacher at 4 and expecting dillingham at 8, if it is indeed the case that the spurs dont care for dillingham and sheppard is the next guy on their board, then yeah i'd be in favor of making some kind of trade. im not sure if 35 and 48 is enough to move 3 spots, might have to be the charlotte FRP
beating the dead horse here, but imo gotta be risacher with an eye on dillingham at 8
Correct. Coming away with Castle makes everything else gravy.
I feel like this is what SA would do, but I would prefer Castle personally in this scenario. Then you hope Cody/Holland is there or you take Carter as well and come away with two guards and phase out Branham/Blake entirely.
Of course you can trade up to ensure you get both Risacher and Castle as well…
Tbh, I hope so. I dont' want either of those two.
I'm fine with every other pick. Except maybe Topic because of his injury status.
Risacher and Carter I think would be the best case scenario, they fit what the team needs the most
I wouldn't discount Buzelis to Washington at #2 just yet.... if thst indeed happens Houston has to decide between Sheppard and Sarr.
If Clingan goes #1 and Buzelis goes #2.... I'd be calling to try to move #8 up to #5 as well as trying to buy #6 with as many future 2nds as Charlotte wants. End up with #4, #5, & #6 and get 3/4 of Sarr, Risaccher, Sheppard and Castle.
Officially one week away from the Draft boys.
That wouldn't be enough to move up 3 spots. That's a considerable jump in the top-8. Charlotte would want a future 1st at least tbh.
I'm expecting it's going to be Castle and if he's drafted before 4 then it's going to be Topic (even with the injury) and Salaun at 8.
It's going to be two of these three players. Topic or Salaun at 8. It's going to be hard for the Spurs not to draft Topic but they also like Salaun.
If Castle goes before 4, then either Risacher or Sheppard will be there and I expect either one before Topic.
My dream 1-2-3 sequence. Spurs choice of Risacher/Castle. My personal preference:
SA picks Castle at #4 and Carter/Dillingham/Williams/Salaun roughly in that order #8. Would be thrilled with any combo of Castle/Risacher + Carter/Dillingham/Williams/Salaun just selecting at natural positions and not spending any capital.
But if you can trade up with DET using #8 + a few 2RPs/even considering say one light protect 27 FRP and then take Risacher at #4 + Castle #5 would be my ideal scenario granted pricey. But you pick Castle at his jersey number lol
I'm still expecting Topic instead of Sheppard. Spurs are more interested in Topic than most in here think.
Topic at 4 would be shocking. Who would touch him before 8? To be honest, it's difficult to find a landing spot for him even in the back half of the lottery. There were too many questions already, and the injury was the nail in the coffin. Someone will take a chance, but a long slide would be the most logical outcome.
Charlotte could use another playmaker.
You literally just said in the Topic thread that the Spurs have no interest in Topic...
nah, he said he believed spurs are still considering topic, despite timvp's writing that the spurs are not interestedYou literally just said in the Topic thread that the Spurs have no interest in Topic...
Oh you're right. Didn't see the first post, only saw the second one. My bad rascal
Tbh, Castle+Sheppard draft would be amazing.
As someone suggested, getting #5 pick from the Pistons wouldn't be the worst idea if both are available.
