    Open question whether Traore stays in the draft this year. He's been rather poor.

    NBA Draft Room describes Nolan Traore as a taller Tony Parker and Ben Saraf as Manu Ginobili lite.

    I think we have our picks.
    I would love Saraf to be drafted by Spurs, using Bulls pick

    Best values relative to consensus mock draft opinion (There are other prospects I like, but these just point to value relative to mock draft)


    Miles Byrd (Tankathon mock: 36) -
    You've gotta be ting me with this ranking. 6'7", +wingspan. Career 84% FT shooter, jacks up 12 3's/100 possessions, shoots 40% on unassisted non-rim 2s. Yeah, he's skinny and only shoots 48% at the rim, but 90% of those makes are unassisted. 15 BPM against top 100 compe ion, almost 20% AST% with 1.5 AST:TO. 4+ BLK and STL%. This clearly screams high level 3 and D + player with some creation upside. The fact that this guy is ranked 36 and kon knueppel is 6 is just...I mean, I like Kon aside from the fact that he can't seem to get his shot off against high level compe ion, but this has to be one of the best values for draft position that I've seen.
    Nice call out. I think Byrd is this year's Jaylen Wells, and I'd love it if the Spurs could pick him up.

    Important to keep in mind that whatever players you fall in love with over the next few months are the ones that the Spurs definitely won't be picking... or worse, will be picking, and then immediately trading away

    I'm curious if anybody else has any opinions or intel on Michael Rataj from Oregon State? He popped up while I was looking through players with high Win Shares in good but not great conferences. Looks to be 6'8" or 6'9" with a neutral wingspan and decent build. He's played well statistically this year, but he's been on an absolute tear in January, averaging 20.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. Shooting .406 from 3 and .816 from the line this year so he seem to project as a plus shooter. He's had very little hype from the mainstream draft sites and am wondering if there's a reason. What little video is out there is intriguing, but not showing a complete picture.

    Wow this Wolf guy is enigmatic. Not sure how that would translate to the NBA but he is impressive to watch.

    Brings the ball up and flawlessly hits the open guy corner trey. Just bullying his way to and 1s. Needs to hit his FTs though and he's been in foul trouble in this game right now against Penn State.

    People forget there was also a decent amount of discussion around draft prospect Leonard Miller. But Pepperidge Farm remembers.

    I personally don't care about any of these guys, but I do find it funny that Miller, Dilly and Furphy were all guys talked about more than casually as targets and we traded away all of them. I guess it's bound to happen since we pretty much talk about everyone though. Too bad we didn't trade away Primo's rights.

    and Wolf just nails the three to put Michigan on a 10-0 run

    Wolf has fingerprints all OVER this 2nd half. Rebounds, hustle, ball-handling passing, sets crisp screens just all smooth energy. Not sure if NBA teams will take away his inside game and dare him to shoot but he's a beast at the college level at least.

    It's a shame that athletically Saraf looks less athletic and less explosive than Manu in his final year at least from what I've seen

    An issue with this draft is that it seems a weak one shooting wise and Spurs can't really afford to add non shooters on top of Castle and Sochan.

    Right now, Spurs are projected to have #10 and #11.
    Using tankathon, there are, between #7 and #20, 2 good shooters (Tre Johnson and McNeeley) and 12 bad shooters.

    Hopefully some good shooters will rise during March Madness but it's worrisome right now.

    It's tough to find more different profiles than Traore and Parker


    TP was limited in every area of the PG position when he came into the league except scoring where he was elite from the start, TP was mentaly a SG having to play PG bc he wanted the ball in his hands.

    Traore is already better at everything else, more athletic, better game manager, but his problem is the scoring.

    Also as quick as Traore is, TP was a cheat code with his 1st step that allowed him to start at an early age bc it was unguardable,

    Ian Jackson might become one of those who will rise. not a bad shooter.
    outside two bad games lately, he was pretty good in the ACC conference games so far. he is a bit old for a freshman though.

    Hey could be the break out of another major disease. But we'll never know since Trump named the CDC from communicating with anyone. Already truly ed up one pandemic, why not another one?

    Americans are the stupidest people on earth, lmao.

    De Larrea and Jase Richardson are two guys who fit and can shoot that I'd have in that range along with McNeely. Fleming and Byrd can shoot as well and are a little further down. I realize most mocks have these guys in the 20's, but the draft is so flat after pick #7 that I doubt that it matters.

    I kinda had no choice lol

    I did go against the grain with Franz Wagner though. He was mocked 8-12 back then, if I remember right, and I had him #3 overall. I know you were high on him as well.
