We just despise the bad ones, which happens to be most of em.
If we could trade for cade there is no pick I wouldn't put on the table. I big point guard like him with some offensive juice is a dream pairing with Victor. Detriot has almost limitless problems but Cade isn't one of them. I'd think the one thing Langdon can't do is trade Cade.

Nugget on Devin Carter in the Rusillo/Vencenie video.
”Last year we heard Jamie Jacques was the best player in every workout he was in. Just dominant.
We’re hearing the same this year with Devin Carter…only the praise is like double that.
He is absolutely murdering these workouts…”
No direct correlation to Spurs but if that was one of the ones mentioned, make of it what you will…
Trading for Cade is almost a, 'put all your eggs in the same basket,' type of approach. Because Cade isn't there yet and most certainly be a rookie max contract. The idea of Cade is so intriguing though. I still think he is not a pure point and better suited off ball where he can he punish teams that chase him off the line.
The mock free agency podcast I just listened to, had Naji Marshall signing with the Spurs. Thoughts?
I would kind of expect Carter to be dominant in workouts, he's older than the guys he's competing with, has had more time to develop, and just based on 2023-24, he was better than them. He should be better.
When you're comparing, obviously being better is good. The question is whether Carter is 2-3 years better in terms of development, or a year or so.
I'd be disappointed if we took him in front of Castle or Reed, though fine with a choice between him and Dillingham at 8 (prefer Dillingham, but close enough to me).
Would you do #8 and next year Atlanta pick for this year #1?
I highly doubt the Spurs would consider Ulrich Chomche with either of their top 10 picks (although, it wouldn't be the first time they went completely off the board) -- but he's my pick for random guy who came out of no where to be the best player in this draft.
Considering the runoured top 2 are centers, then no.
I thought it was ridiculous. It was like 4/64 for someone a guy with 1 start last year and 7 points a game
I doubt Marshall even breaks the mle. , maybe not more than the room exception if that
Carter's point guard skills are about on par with Sochan. He's not an impressive passer in everything I've seen, kind of basic, not great touch.
I think Castle has better creation and passing skills and I'm not at all a fan of Castle as a point guard.
Including how skeptical I am of his shooting, I think Carter is becoming one of the more overrated players in the class. Upperclassman bullies younger players and dominates with strength, while dishing basic passes and with every shot being a struggling launch, I'm not buying it. Happy to be proven wrong
Ideal draft
Beyond meh.
Yeah, Carter isn’t a point. He’d need to be paired with a big creator of some kind.
Saw on the SR workout list that Kel’el Ware had a workout with the Spurs.
No sign of Buzelis yet.
Based on the intel. we’ve read, I’m saying Spurs are going #4 Cody Williams, #8 Devin Carter and #35 Dillon Jones. They’ll probably trade out of #48.
You get two guys in Jones and Carter that can likely play with the Spurs day one with Cody likely sent to the G League.
My team from the draft:
G Reed Sheppard
G Bub Carrington
G/F Dillon Jones
F Stephon Castle
F Matas Buzelis
Tobias Harris? Only if for vet min
These idiots are probably so far down the road with Castle, Salaun and their respective representation that even in the unlikely event they get lucky and Risacher falls to 4 or Sheppard is available, they're probably not budging.
Instead of a high floor, plug and play outcome like Risacher and Carter, they'll hope project, mystery box players can bloom quickly or else it'll be more time wasted for one of the GOAT prospects.
I'm in on Castle and Carter both. It's like drafting a brick wall on defense. That would be amazing.
Super no thanks to Risacher, who looks like a pencil.
My top 8 (and my opinions are starting to gel finally).
1. Stephon Castle
2. Reed Sheppard
3. Dalton Knect
4. Devin Carter
5. Matas Buzelis
6. Rob Dillingham
7. Tidjane Salaun
8. Tyler Kolek
I'm out on Risacher, Sarr, Holland, and Topic. I like Cody Williams and Donovan Clingan, just not enough to grab either with the 4th or 8th.
69.29% of Spurstalk posters are not idiots for not wanting to take Risacher if he was available tbh.
Now that Sarr to the Wizards is a lock, it looks like the majority of the vocal posters here have separated into 3 camps mainly based on which prospect they dislike the most at #4:
1. "We need shooting", aka anti-Castle; Patron saint: TD21
2. "No shrimp guards", aka anti-Sheppard; Patron saint: rascal
3. "Risacher sucks" - self explanatory; Patron saint: Dejounte, MrBody
My top prospects for the spurs, Locked in…
1. Risacher
2. Castle
3. Sheppard
4. Carter
5. Knecht
6. Dillingham
7. Salaun
8. Buzelis
I don’t think he sucks. I think getting him with a top 7 pick is a waste and would set the team back years. They won’t have many opportunities like this year to pick this high. Use the pick on someone with a greater upside.
I’m in group 1
Just read ESPN is calling Sarr to the Wizards and ATL will decide between Risacher and Clingan.
If they choose Clingan, and Houston goes Reed, we draft Risacher and whoever is left of Dilly and Knecht. I wouldn't be opposed to trading up for Castle, either, and with Risacher wearing a Spurs hat, that's probably the smartest move.
