You’re third in line behind Scott and myself. Scott is going to get to see him in person at the Maui invitational.
Planting an early flag for McNeeley in the likely scenario that the Spurs don’t land in the Top 3.
Smart 6’8” SF sniper who played with Flagg this past year and now headed to UConn, but does more than shoot too. Exactly what the Spurs are missing.

Tankathon's mock before the season started had us getting McNeeley and Demin.
All I know is that I don't want any more guards unless we luck into a top3 pick and Harper/Traore/Edgecombe are available. If they live up to the hype, that is.
We need a defender who has the lateral speed to keep up with 3 pt shooters.
With Sochan and Castle looking like keepers, outside shooting should be Spurs first priority in this draft: they can't really afford to add another poor to average shooter to the team.
I can only see Spurs adding a non-shooter if he is something special.
I'm not quite on the McNeeley bandwagon yet, I just have tickets to some games he is playing in, lol. But... I do hope he is awesome, and we land him, and you and CGD get the bragging rights - because that would be great for us.
It is early but if your looking for that I would say then Check out Hugo Gonzales who I think will be a very good defender he gives you steals and he can you some nice help side blocks. As far as offense he has potential his FT% seems to be pretty decent percentage and form wise the issue is one his 3 ball is not good and he is playing for a deep Spanish team so don’t know how much burn he gets.
I don’t know if I would use my first pick on him but depending on how he plays and how much playing time he gets ya might be able to buy low and hope to find a diamond not bad if we got two picks
No more shooting projects, please for the love of the flying spaghetti monster
Looking at shooters I think the following would be worth looking at:
Tre Johnson-SG - The kid can shoot he has a very smooth shot the only issue will be how he does on defense and how athletic he is?
Liam McNeeley- SF - Fits a position of need good shooter and above average defender
Kon Knueppel - SF/SG - Very good shooter the big question will be his defense
That’s right. Obviously if we luck into Cooper, Harper or Ace that’s different, but we need the wing shooting desperately.
I’d also consider with the worse of the SAS/ATL picks:
- Vassell insurance at the SG given the recurring injuries (at worse at Branham upgrade)
- Backup C
Pretty sure I got y'all beat. 5/20/2024

Bragging rights can be yours! Excited to see him play in about a month
Tankathon update has us with the 6th, 12th, and 16th for the upcoming draft
Yeah, I remember reading your quote and looking at his vids after and thinking “We might have just found our starting SF”.
I don't think McNeeley is going to last to picks 8-10 when the Spurs will likely be drafting.
When I posted that, he was still listed at pick #15.
He's shot up pretty good without playing any games. I would still prefer one of the top5 picks... but if we get a 5-10 pick, McNeeley would be my choice there.
If he rises, someone else good falls.
kevin durant scorer with kawhi work ethic.......has already scored 30 points in first game as freshman vs power 5 team
I know it's early but since I got #3+#4 at Tankathon I was wondering if we would prefer that or #1[Flagg] (plus say a non lottery pick).
On a side note: In an interview I got the feeling that Flagg is not optimal Spurs material. I got some: Would leave for LA as soon as possible vibes.

The Spurs will suss that out. If he has a hard on for LA and Utah is in the top 3-4, flip #1 + contract to Danny for their pick and Lauri. If he balks, take other calls in the top 4, but I don’t think he will. The hard on he has for a white American kid with superstar potential in that market couldn’t be measured using existing technology.
With Wemby already, im taking 3 and 4 in that scenario. Getting Ace Bailey at 3 would be ideal, but so would Harper especially if Castle isn’t the guy at PG.
Looks like OKC will have a better chance getting Flagg than the Spurs with how the Clippers are looking
Maybe Pop should throw the game Monday by resting Wemby.
Atlanta is also looking ty.
That’s insane to think about. At some point they’re gonna have to consolidate pieces just to be able to keep the roster affordable.
