Castle/Salaun is also what Vecenie did in his final mock.
Seems like the most likely scenario, but that would mean we absolutely have to invest in shooting in free agency because we gotta have some space out on that court.

It's supposition and guesswork, also there's a heavy bias toward believing Wembanyama insists on having French players around him.
That said, Salaun is probably most likely at 8.
If they did that, it’d be so nice if they could drop back to 11 and pick up another asset too.Castle/Salaun is also what Vecenie did in his final mock.
Haha just did a mock and first time ever it went Sarr, RISC, Clingan, and had us taking Sheppard at 4 and Castle at 8 - Book It. Lol
DraftKings still has Carter as the most likely pick at 8 at +300. Salaun is next at +400 followed by Dillingham at +550
Someone posted this on reddit:

Lol what the

Many of us have been saying this all along.
Spurs are not taking Sheppard. Book it!
A Wing or Castle + Dillingham or Knecht please.
Assists aren't as common in European ball, not that they're great passers anyway
It's officially draft day boys.
Assist rate is the percentage of assists a team gets from a player while he's on the floor, so it doesn't matter how many overall assists the team gets. Normally centers have really low assist rates because they are finishing plays. Perimeter players who swing the ball around at minimum have fairly decent ones. Those who don't either are chuckers, whether by role or demeanor, or they just can't handle the passing required of them.
Since both Risacher and Salaun also have very poor assist/turnover ratios, I think it's more the latter. Their processing is so poor that they cannot handle more than basic passes and cannot set up teammates.
Fwiw Givony claimed Risacher was a point guard in the b division and averaged 5 assists a game there. Haven't double checked it myself. Givony also made other excuses for why Risacher didn't have assists this year
Would love it, but no way Utah goes for that.
Assists aren't as common in FIBA because they don't record the phantom assits that the NBA does. Have you ever seen some of these "assists" in a player's game highlights on youtube?
A drible hand-off where the guy that got the balk takes likes 5 dribbles, does a spin move and hits a fadeaway triple while being double teamed counts as an assist.
Hey guys. I’m rarely on here now but just wanted to chime in and hope we get Castle and Salaun with our two first round picks based on what I’ve read on them while investing in shooters in free agency. Am I wrong in wanting this scenario? I haven’t actually seen those guys play other than bits of Castle at the NCAA tournament.
Aside from a few folks here, no one wants Salaun, but the outcome you laid out seems to be the consensus most likely outcome. If pick #4 goes Castle, about 75% of this board will be happy, and if pick #8 goes Salaun, about 75% of this board will be pissed.
Lots of people with you on Castle, but a sizable portion against. Could be 50/50. I'm on the anti-Castle side, think he would be a big mistake
Same. Huge overspend with the 4th pick, IMHO. Castle doesn't seem to have 4th pick upside stuff. I personally prefer Buzelis and Sheppard there assuming 1-3 go in order more or less with the expected mocks.
KOC has to be paid for is takes on Buzelis
How do you define upside? If Castle develops his shot he's a great player. That's all he has to do. Pretty much all the other players have more things they have to hit on to get to their best outcomes.

For what it’s worth, in the latest ESPN mock Givony alludes to there being chatter around SA trading back from 4.
There's trade chatter surrounding both the No. 3 and No. 4 picks, with Houston and San Antonio weighing potential trade-back scenarios. Clingan is considered the likely target for whichever team might move up, if that should occur. He is most frequently connected by rival teams to Memphis, which has a clear need for a player in his mold. Some also have speculated on Oklahoma City, which has the wealth of trade assets to maneuver up the board if it chooses.
The only thing Givony can allude to is that he doesn't know .
