    Ace Bailey is starting to scare me a bit. In his highlight videos, it's all crazy dunks. My main concern is I don't know much about his personality and whether he'd be a team-first player. But you really can't deny his talent. I'd choose Flagg and Traore over him right now and I haven't really seen the others in the top 5 play yet to have an opinion.
    Let’s wait and see what ANY of them do with better compe ion. He won’t be able to physically overwhelm opponents like he could in HS, so how does he adapt? He and Dylan Harper will also be able to share the load at Rutgers.

    I could be wrong but I think Ace is going to fall a little bit my main issue with him is he is a bit of a chucker there not a shot he won’t take. Will see how he adapts to College ball but that is with all these players so College ball is going to be really fun to watch lots of Spurs prospects on display

    The negative parts of Bailey's evaluations mention that his decision making on shots is suspect and perhaps decision making in general. Also not a three-point shooter at this time. I've heard Brandon Ingram mentioned as a comp.

    Funny, but he is a real talent. 6'7 and projected 23rd currently.

    Some mocks have him going to us a lot higher though I like his offense his feet move like they stuck in concrete on the defensive side. He kind of reminds me of a shorter Matt Bonner.

    Michael Ruzic 6'10 with a nice shooting touch.

    Reminds me of Bertans but moves well for the size and sets strong picks plus that jumper is wet. Ruzic and McNeeley would be a sweet draft for now in very early initial impressions.

    Interesting,but I’m not sure you can trust the 3 ball since it’s with low attempts, and his FTs are 68%. Definitely someone to keep an eye on.

    I just drew the 1 pick, 2 pick, and 10 pick on tankathon. Flagg, Bailey, Demin.

    Agreed. Good points to watch for. I also think his shot is kinda wonky and slow mechanics but we will see. Someone I think Spurs could mould imho.

    Really just want to get a shooting PF (no more shooting projects) and view that as the main hole in the roster currently barring Sochan development. Filtering for 6'8-6'11 PFs that shoot is where Ruzic rises up to me as a solution since the category is a little shallow and Cooper isn't known for shooting so far. Not saying there aren't others but that's where I noticed him. Oh well maybe Sochan and or Mamu will exceed expectations and change the needs, it is still very early.

    This is kinda a weak draft for those type of players but you might have a Sop re come out of left field stranger things have happened. I think we got a decent shot in getting a really good SF and probably a International player who can play some PG and SG as needed. Also, I would not mind using a high second on a backup Center who knows maybe find someone worth developing

    My pet cat for this played at Kentucky last year and followed Cal to Arkansas, Zvonimir Ivisic. He can block shots and shoot the 3. If he weren’t going to be nearly 22 on draft day next year, he'd probably be higher than 33 on the TaT big board.

    Absolute best case scenario is that this team surprises with a big leap from Sochan, Castle shows major stuff early, Devin takes a step forward, and the team decides we’re better off moving our pick, or maybe even both picks, for a young-ish (25 and below) more proven prospect.

    Not going to wager on it, but that’s what I’m actually hoping for.

    I was high on him last draft but been watching his twin brother who is not as fast as him but is not as skinny as him and he has good hands and is still agile enough curious on your thoughts - Tomislav Ivisic

    Don’t know the twin, but Zvon played well in his limited time at UK. He was waiting on eligibility clearance for the first half of the season. I’d be curious to see what he could do in more minutes and a larger role at Arkansas.

    Wouldn’t be shocked if we moved one of the picks if neither jumps into the top 4. I’d still like to maybe take a shot with McNeeley, who could be in draft range.

    I’ll get a good look at McNeely at the Maui Invitational in a few weeks. He definitely fits the bill of what I think we could use.

    As I was saying…

    Reminds me a bit of Brandon Ingram.

    There’s literally no real world scenario where we can lottery draw three top 10 picks in next year’s draft. Saying that doesn’t make me a clown, it makes you one for saying that’s what you spun on the Wheel of Tankathon.

    I just drew the 1 pick, 2 pick, and 10 pick on tankathon. Flagg, Bailey, Demin.

    I don't know if it's worth having an omnibus thread on the potential picks themselves instead of individual ones.

    Risacher didn't play last night and I don't know why. He looks like he'll contribute, his professional background helping. Dyson Daniels for Dejounte may straight up make them better. Jalen Johnson's devel really saves them. They have some long wings. Still feels like they have a significant ceiling. Depend so much on Trae Young and even with him I don't think they're that great.

    But one thing I didn't realize -- they own the LAL pick this year straightaway. If the Lakers tank this year -- with LeBron getting older, always a possibility -- that could really affect us the next two years.

    Chicago has Lonzo Ball and LaVine back. My guess is they'll continue not tanking, although I don't know how good they'll actually be to get a playoff spot in the east. We'd only need them to fall past 10 if we wanted the pick.

    Correct but we could have 1, 2, and CHI at 11. Instead of pointing that out you brick wall it as impossible when that only involves Demin at 11 via CHI.

    After I posted I realized that CHI was top 10 protected but that means we could get 11. I figured any knowledgeable poster would be aware of that minor difference and let it go.

    Instead you became the clown in that instance by taking the bait left by my honest mistake and your uncontrollable urge to over correct other posters. And the funniest part may be I already knew you would be the one to do it.

    Any reasonable poster would have said ‘Whoops, my bad, I meant 11’ instead of making it a hill to die on. I simply pointed it out, and you immediately called me a clown, which led to all of this.
