I am 100% sure that no one knows WTH is gonna happen on draft night.
Anyone but Castle. Feel Sarr and Reed are both safe and high upside so worth trading up for. There's not a lot a talent in this draft so don't get too smart...

I'm 100% confident the board will melt down at the picks; only 50% I do I think.I am 100% sure that no one knows WTH is gonna happen on draft night.
I can see the draft being a real head-scratcher and then the trades get announced and we'll need an air traffic controller to sort out the re-routes.
Might be a double meltdown here of Irwin Allen-sized proportions. I can't wait!!!
Someone here mentioned that it might be smart to focus on off-ball players this draft and wait for an on-ball player next year (like Nolan Traore).
The best outcome for the Spurs (long term) may be Risacher & Sheppard
I'd still hope for Risacher & Castle
I'm expecting Castle & Salaun
Yeah that sums it up very nicely.
It feels like there is about a 50% chance, we will end up with Castle (big PG experiment 1.3...Primo...Sochan) and Salaun (going for upside while pleasing Wemby).
Risacher beeing pushed out by Clingan to #4 while Castle scaring the PG teams at #5-7 away is a dream scenario.
And I personally still hope for Reed (I really fear, that he could become someone resembeling 90% of what Curry became...while falling for the KOC hype) and Salaun.
Biggest question is how the Spurs rank Zacc, Reed and Castle on their board. Probably we will never find out, but if Clingan pushes out one of them, we at least know a little bit. I personally would have them Reed->Zacc->Castle, but my bet would be on the FO having them Zacc->Castle->Reed.
I fear Houston will draft Reed.
Agree, but I think theres a chance SA can trade up to 1 and get Reed if they want and/or HOU takes Clingan (although I agree they likely take Reed)
The most likely way to get Sheppard is if Memphis or someone trades up to 3. From all accounts, the Rockets are in win-now mode and looking to add veterans. I don’t think they want to pick at 3, even if they like Sheppard.
As for SA trading up: the first question is obviously whether they are that high on Sheppard in the first place. But then once you get past that, you have to decide how likely the scenario above might be. If you think there’s a 50% chance Houston trades out of that pick and the new team takes Clingan, do you like Sheppard so much that you still trade up to grab him at #1?
Ultimately I really don’t see SA moving up but it would be exciting for sure. Any outcome where we end up getting Sheppard would be huge but at this point I feel like it’s a decent long shot (20%?).
edit: As soon as I say this you post the tweet about Woj saying Houston could pick Clingan
i hope he's right. i just dont buy it.
if houston is letting this be known, more likely its them signaling they want to trade down. teams who want cleveland (likely portland, memphis... possibly charlotte if the health concerns around Williams are legit) are weighing how long they can wait before pulling the trigger to trade up. the clingan-hawks stuff peaked last week but has kind of simmered down. houston feels like a bizarre fit since they love sengun and there's no world where he can play the 4. then teams know that SAS and DET arent likely to take clingan at 4, so theyre thinking they can wait till 6. houston wanting to move down needs to make it known that he's a threat to not make it there.
Gawd I cannot believe we are 24 hours away.

I'll be totally happy with Reed at #4 too. Just like Matas' upside a hair more.
Really don't want Sheppard.
I don't see any difference between Sheppard and Cam Spencer(Spencer can dribble the ball just as good as sheppard, even better) who are mostly just going to be spot up perimeter shooters in the NBA and you can get Spencer far lower in the draft.
Why burn a top 4 pick on this type of player.
I still think the Spurs draft Castle over Sheppard if they are both on the board at 4.
Thanks for posting this for the 800th time. Missed it the first 799.
Thought you missed it
Just amazes me how what poor taste in players some on this site have.
Let's burn our 4th pick on a player who is going to come off the bench as a spot up shooter because his game lacks in other areas and hope this guy is going to shoot at the same %s he did in college.
When you can get this type of player much later in the draft or maybe even the second round.

I think rascal secretly loves Sheppard but can't bring himself to admit it. He keeps implying over and over that 19 year old Sheppard could have been the second most impactful player on a dominant national championship team. That's pretty high praise last time I checked

Personally, I don't like the idea of trading up in this draft - especially not if it means having to give up both 4 and 8 to get 1 or whatever. In a draft like this, having two shots in the top 10 is likely going to be more valuable in the end than having one "big shot".
You seriously repeat the same over and over again, it’s like a meme at this point. You must be like 90 years old with too much time on your hands
kinda weird that you don't like him, since he can jump high. That's usually your main criteria.
