I guess the big question is: Is there anyone SA likes so much more than everyone else that they would trade up for him? Because if you have Sarr as 2nd on the board only way to get him is to move to pick 1. Risacher can probably be had at pick 4 however.
Reed is above all of them IMO and I kind of hope that SA doesnt have Risacher over Reed/Castle.
Uriel blows his load over this big board and uses it as confirmation bias even though absolutely no one knows who the Spurs are truly valuing most
Wednesday can’t come soon enough. Will be glad to finish draft day without Zaccharie becoming a Spur and hear no more of this nonsense tbh.
It’s his Spurs board, not overall draft board. Other teams boards may, and probably do look different. There are probably 5-6 players who could legit go #1. Sarr could drop like a rock if there are a couple of trades for wants or needs.
Sure in this draft that’s possible but by all accounts it seems like WAS will 100% take Sarr at 2 if hes there.
If you believe that’s not a smokescreen, sure. Right up until draft night, Jabari Smith was supposed to go #1, and he fell to #3. Front offices spread disinformation, and flat out lie to pressure trades. Blame Boston and their successful Philly heist. Everyone seems to think they can replicate it.
Yeah…for reference, Vegas odds for Sarr to go #2 are at -550 at this point, which implies about 85% probability.
Anyways, outside of Sarr at #2 I’ve almost given up on trying to figure out how it’s all going to play outPut me in the camp of “no one has a ing clue how this draft is going to go”. Wednesday can’t come soon enough.
I don’t think Sarr to WAS or Reed to HOU are smokescreens. They both make a lot of sense to me.
ATL could throw a curveball and take Sarr - it’s a curveball only because Sarr seems to be avoiding them.
Castle is their smokescreen. They want the true off ball guys in Knecht, Zacch and Sheppard. They don't want to spend the on ball equity in this draft class with a big 2025 offseason ahead. My opinion.
Interesting take...
They actually want Risacher, Salaun, and Dadiet because France
How is Castle their smokescreen if they've literally said nothing about Castle.
Are you that much of a fool that you think this indicates the Spurs love Risacher? Bro let me guess, you still believe in Santa?
Early reports had the Spurs highly interested in Castle and now reports are quiet on Castle, very odd for the spurs to sudenly go quiet on Castle.
Spurs love Walter and Carter... while Branham and Wesley are already on the team lmao. I sure hope these are smokescreens or they're trying to get the right bites on a trade-down scenario.
They haven't said anything about any player. Just going by what timvp says, if we believe he has any contacts at all, there are multiple players these supposed contacts have nothing to say about.
It's not only what timvp has said. There were several reports that the Spurs were interested in Castle with the 4th pick.
What no Bronny?! JK
Should be a fun draft, thanks for the grades
So what. Do you know what a smokescreen is? What did they say themselves?
If they haven't said anything about any player then there can't be any smokescreens.
It's hilarious that the take on Salaun is that he's tall and he plays hard. It's like a Make a Wish kid getting drafted.
Teams hire people to do as much digging as possible to figure out what other teams draft plans might be. I’m not buying anything timvp was told. Purposeful leaks. I’m really hoping Buzelis is their secret target then take best guard they have left on their board at 8. I’m also down for some Cody Willams at 4 with same scenario best guard left at 8. If spurs pick a guard at 4 I hope buzelis or Cody Williams fall but if not screw it take a swing on Salaun at 8. As far as Risacher is concerned I can live with it but would rather pass. Definitely would be okay with him at 8. I just think Buzelis and Williams are better. I wouldn’t even mind doubling up on long wings and punting on point guard. Plenty can be found in free agency and plenty of future picks incoming.
I think he's going 8th
My confidence is such that I'd wager 5 dollars but not 10.....
I think TimVP even acknowledged in his own draft board that information he's getting might be part of the smoke screen. Spurs are known for being so tight-lipped it would seem weird that anything they tell anyone should be taken at face value.
