Isaiah Miller is for Austin, he is just getting some exhibit 10 money. Austin Spurs did a trade to get his rights a month and a half ago.
I wanted him if he fell to us at 34, but let’s be real: no one thought he was a shooter ahead of the draft.
Feel for him. There are millions of reasons he’d prefer to have had this shooting streak pop off during the Draft combine instead of now! he would have been a lotto pick in the is draft easy.

I actually made the case that he should be in consideration for a top 10 pick because shooting is the easiest skill to learn. That said, he faded a lot down the stretch and I wasn't sure any GM would take the risk with a lottery pick.
Before worrying too much if we missed out on a gem in Dunn, remind yourself that the Spurs haven't been able to develop a shooter in years.
I'm officially proclaiming Yuki Kawamura the one who got away. He might actually be terrible, but his highlights are fun AF, and fun is fun. A Wemby/Yuki pairing would have been the Manute Bol/Muggsy Bogues pairing that Gen Z needs.
Instead the kids get Edey/Yuki. A small consolation. Grizz are gonna be fun to watch.
Well, they better make sure that changes with Castle, tbh.
Edey is the one who got away. Dude is going to win RoY and he was ours at 8 instead of a 20131 pick swap
I do like Edey as a ROTY bet, for sure. What are odds look like? My state has all the evil gambling on lock down to protect us from our own sins
I'm in Vegas in a few weeks, I might have to do a little something something
Was thinking WTF 雪 (Yuki) is a girl's name (Yuki like snow), but then saw his name is really 勇輝 (Yuuki like courage radiating)
Sorry bro, I don't speak Spanish.
What about Yuki Tsunoda (Japanese F1 Driver)?
It's Yuuki (written 裕毅, 裕 is like rich 毅 is strong)
Though anyone whose name is said ゆうき (Yuuki) really conjures up the word 勇気 (yuuki), which is bravery or courage.
Any theory on why both Kawamura and Tsunoda spell it "Yuki"? Lost in translation? Just dgaf?
Ive tried all draft period tò suggest that, if we had a chance tò take Edey at 8 (After our preferred choice at 4, was It Castle, Sheppard, Risacher or Sarr) he would have been fool not tò draft him...frankly I think some time out FO overthink and dont see the obvious...we not only had a problem at back up center (Collins And Bassey on paper but also in reality are out weak roster spots) but Er had the defensive personnel (expecially After the Castle pick, with Sochan, Vassell, Wemby) tò cover Edey defensive flaws...while on offense Er could have had a very strong post game and a duo Wemby/Edey quite impossible tò stop...looks tò me scaringly like another "Scola misunderstanding"...
I don't get it either, that is why I was asking if it's issues on the defensive end that they didn't draft him. On offense, I thought he could play with Victor no problem as Victor can play on the perimeter and Edey on the inside if they were in together. I was surprised they passed up on him when he was still there. At the very worst, they could have traded him to a team like Memphis later on if the fit wasn't quite right.
Still not a fan of edey. Love his story and how he worked hard to change his game into something more adaptable to the modern nba, but his use cases are limited. His lateral quickness will never be there. Boban is a good comp, looks great when he’s on the court but there are rarely scenarios where he is useful on the court. He’d be run out of the gym pretty quickly.
I would think that Edey's agent would have done everything he could to keep him away from San Antonio even if the Spurs were smart enough to scout him accurately
After seeing the Spurs dedicate themselves to Wemby at the 5, no agent would want Edey spending his rookie contract as a backup when they could guide him to a team with no other centers.
On top of that, any agent worth a damn would see the intense danger of Edey not even getting minutes as a backup center with the Zollins extension and Pop making Edey "get over himself". You've already seen Castle have a huge game then get Popped the next game with 6 minutes in a first half without Vassell even playing.
Edey might be the best player in the draft, but it is what it is.
They don't. In Japanese the hiragana (which gives the pronunciation) is written ゆうき (eg Yuuki) while the girly name is written ゆき (Yuki). In romaji, the way you write Japanese in a western alphabet, Kawamura and Tsunoda spell their names Yūki where the ū is a long u while the girly name is just Yuki. In English syllables can have variable length but in Japanese you pronounce every mora (JP equivalent to syllables) for the same length of time. So ゆうき=Yūki = yu.u.ki (three mora) while ゆき=Yuki = yu.ki (two mora), so you get that u sound for twice as long in the boys name vs the girls.

PG8 and Leonard both already injured. If the basketball gods really love us Trae might hold out for a trade or find god and step away from basketball to pursue a higher cause.
NOW THE REAL FUN BEGINS!!!
BASSEY FAM, MOUNT UP
Big Mouth Bassey back at it tbh, hopefully the guy can make it through a full season healthy.
