Three guys most of Spurstalk were against (Sheppard, Knecht, Edey) drafting have all looked really good in their games so far. We just need 3+ years for Castle to maybe become a league average 3 point shooter![]()
well we didnt have a chance to draft him...Even if we did,Not sure we would of gone after him anyways.Seems like we want players who
cant shoot and believe our development team can fix them.Sheepard got that curry touch it seems fck me.
Doesn't make sense to lump Sheppard in with Knecht and Edey. Those two have age concerns that hindered their value. It's not shocking that guys who were college stars as super seniors would play well out of the gate in SL. Sheppard was the third-lverall pick for a reason. It's more impressive that he started off well, but as we know, it's not a sign of sure success.
Summer League is built for shooters and those that can take advantage of a crazy, chaotic up-and-down game with no rhythm. Marco Bellinelli had like 40 in a SL game at one point.
That said, I don't know who was against drafting Sheppard. Other than his size, it's pretty clear he was going to be one of the top guys in the draft. That's why he didn't last to the Spurs pick.
Hardly anyone was against Sheppard. I personally wanted him over Castle, he just didn't fall that far.
Knecht I'm tentatively with you about. He was my 8th pick after RD. I'm on the " 2030/31 picks" train, even though even my homer wants-to-win-now ass can see they're obviously worth the 8th pick if everything works out.
most of us had Sheppard in their top 5 tbh
Nah this is changing the narrative. Not you specifically, but there’s plenty of evidence in the threads questioning if Reed would have success in the NBA. His combine was even twisted against him. And comments about him only being able to play shooting guard. You can easily find out who those guys are that people should stop listening to for draft analysis tbh
Windy’s agenda along with the other fairies at ESPN is apparent and their desire to push Wemby out of SA and to a bigger market. For the next couple years these “insiders” are going to attempt to put a wedge between PATFO and Wemby. Hopefully everyone involved is smart enough to realize what’s happening. If I’m Spurs management I wouldn’t let these bas s anywhere near the building.
Wait, I remember your ass calling him a 6th man at best. I take it back. What kind of gaslighting is this
I found one of the posts
this is gaslighting at its finest and why i call out people who make bad takes and never own up to it
Lmao great find i love this forum
Pull up guys are gods of the summer league. I think it is more telling if a pull up guy is struggling like Johnny Davis and Dilly debut.
I'm not at all of the belief that we wouldn't have taken Sheppard if he was available. He would have been a seamless fit regardless of the Paul signing.
Everyone should know by now that summer league performance is meaningless and performing well in summer means jack when it comes to the actual season
Bryn Forbes dominated summer league as well, Sheppard looked good but let’s not act like he’s already cemented himself as the top prospect from this draft.
Jesus, DJ came with RECIEPTS lol brb deleting old posts j/k ::sweats::
I voted Castle in the ST poll and def had Sheppard in my top 3 on my last big board before the draft.
Risacher
Castle
Sheppard
Was a pretty common holy grail for most posters. What I do remember is a more subjective preferential advocating for someone else besides Sheppard for fit but I feel like most people recognized and paid due respect to what Sheps potential was here and reddit etc before the draft. I do recall some naysayers though.
One thing I noticed last night was Sheppard doing the old Tre Jones hunchback ball protection as he dribbled. Hunching at the waist and pushing your butt out to create separation as you dribble from the defender to shield from ball swipes. Summer league is one thing but how does that translate to NBA? Playoffs?
My friend not everyone is against Sa lol. Windy in particular is EXTREMELY pro San Antonio. Not just Wemby and the team but the city. He’s been pounding the drum on how it’s a great city alongside Wemby will attract talent to SA.
Maybe others are doing what you say but not Windy in particular
Reed looked amazing and it wasn’t just the shooting. His hands and anticipation on defense looked good. Hou has drafted very well and are very analytical and Reed was off charts on analytics so not surprising hou took him.
Who knows how good he will be but he looked solid so far. Sucks hou got him but oh well. We roll with our guys and I’m happy with Castle too. I wanted both of them tbh
I had Risacher Sheppard Dillingham Sarr in my top tier and in that order
and i admittedly was low on Castle as a point guard and preferred him as a wing. Would love to be wrong there and so far like the things I’ve seen
I think you need to listen to Windy’s rhetoric again if you think he’s been pro San Antonio. He’s not. He along with other pundits are already trying to drive the narrative that the FO is failing Wemby. I think the agenda is obvious. If you don’t see where I’m coming from go watch his reaction after Giannis signed his extension with the Bucks. I predict Windy along with others will have a similar reaction when the Spurs start winning and they’ve been made to look like morons.
