They need to drsft someone with at least a semblance of a shot. Sochan and Castle have turned out about as well as expected yet we can't play them together because our spacing will go to . At some point we need folks that can make jumpers.
I hope not........I will be emailing them of who i think they should draft this summer.

I think that would be a fantastic use of an SRP. Would like the team to do a little more of that sort of thing. Even if you want to cut him after year 1 in a structure like this, it isn't a killer.
I'll be happy if we end up with either Asa Newell or Danny Wolf wearing black and silver next year.
The most glaring and obvious need, is for a big man.
A solid brute of a man that is big, strong and a force in the middle. When Wemby is not on the court...we are one of the worst in the league on interior defense.
And Wemby's body is not long for this world defending the Embids...even he can get sneeky offensive fouls on them, he needs someone else to take that punishment...and maybe dish a little as well.
We have no one like that. We are a very soft team. In a very soft NBA...so there is that.

Backup bigs are easy to find and we'd want someone experienced who can be relied on when we start competing.
Using a FRP for a backup big when we have so many other needs that are way more difficult to fill via trades/FA would be a bad decision.
Embiid is in another conference.
Well, a Big is our most obvious need. It that is easy to fill, why haven't we?
Not talking trash bigs like we have. We already filled out trash bigs roster.
Embid was just an example...
Because they thought Collins wouldn't be complete garbage.
Valanciunas is on a $10M a season deal up until 2027. Wouldn't even take a FRP, just a handful of SRPs or maybe a couple of our scrubs like Wesley or Branham if they're interested.
But for some reason PATFO isn't making the move.
Or we could straight up trade Tre for him.
I'd love us to go for Brook Lopez next summer
Of this type of player, do you prefer Karaban or Noah Penda? Karaban the better shooter right now, Penda seems to be more athletic and stronger. Karaban maybe more NBA ready, but Penda's not doing too bad in French league himself. Both mocked late first to early second.
Whoever they draft, they better avoid non-shooting prospects. For all intents and purposes, Sochan has been a hit. He has fulfilled what was expected of him as a prospect, yet he becomes a huge liability at times with his inability to shoot; and the truth is that with each passing game I'm more and more convinced that he shouldn't be a part of the core going forward.
Castle can pretty much follow the same path if he doesn't develop his shot. At the end of the day, you need to make shots to win in this league.
Yep, Spurs can't really add non shooters on their team with Sochan and Castle already here.
Shooting is actually a big issue for the top international prospects in this draft.
Their 3 points stats for this season:
Nolan Traoré: 25/93 (.269)
Ben Saraf: 17/58 (.293)
Noa Essengue: 10/46 (.217)
Hugo Gonzalez: 6/27 (.222)
While it seems that it will be strong draft, there are quite a lot of prospects with a questionable/bad jumpshot. For example, if you take tankathon big board, 11 of the top 20 players have poor 3 points shooting numbers.
Who are the players to target from 20 to 25 with the ATL pick?
We need a Sochan replacement. We can't build a solid team with such a low IQ/weak link in the SL
Unless we get Flagg I don't really see any Sochan replacement in this draft. There are only 2 players in the league with that defensive versatility.
Without Sochan last night, both Ant and DeVincenzo go off, and we get blown out. Jeremy held Ant to 14 points.
I haven't studied much the next draft tbh but Sam Vecenie's podcast, who's opinion I value, seem to think it's quite a poor draft past the lottery, they strugle to make they mock past the 20th pick...
If it's not a rookie, it has to be via trade. Sochan is too small to play PF and not skilled enough to play SF...
Of course he was important and he's not the reason we lost anyway. Mitch is the main one to blame imo
That's the scary part about this roster, Sochan is an uncontested starter... smh
I think JT Toppin is super underrated rn
A player that fits this would be Tomislav Ivisic - Illinois - 7’1, 255pds - Decent athlete can also hit the outside shot and has good hands. Averages - 15pts - 9rbs FT%733 - 3P% 385
Both of the Ivisic twins have skills. Tomi is a better rebounder, but Zvon is a much better shooter, and blocks twice the shots per 36.
I was curious so I took the top 30 of Tankathon's Big Board and sorted them by 3pt%. Left side of the image is their BB order, right side is sorted for 3pt%. (I still like Demin and McNeeley, but falling off from Traore and starting to like Karaban now)
