the chance to win a top 4 pick ist currently at 23%. still, 95% of all posts in this thread deal with names you will need to win a top 4 pick.
I rather bring up a player, who hasn't been discussed at all, but I guess he will be our man: Ian Jackson.
he's been getting better over the season and considering the poor UNC team und his (out of position) role, people will realise, how much better he could (should) be. but maybe that's good luck, so he will stay in the reach of the Spurs picks.
The Basketball Gods are smiling upon us.
Sucks for Jalen Johnson, and hope he fully recovers... but this is huge for us. #8 lotto seed is in reach!
Owning the Hawks pick alongside our own, and given our current standings, we currently sit at 16.3% chance to reach a Top 4 pick in the next draft. Not bad, right?
Also I rolled the dice quite a bit and literally every time we get #1 (which, while rare, is certainly not nearly as rare as I thought it'd be) we also get #11 and Tankathon always gives us Cooper Flagg & Nolan Traoré.

One guy to keep an eye on and who may be a fast riser later in the draft process if Carter Bryant of Arizona. Currently only averaging 5 points per game on 16 minutes so not on too many draft radars.
19 year old freshman, 6'8", probably 7 foot wingspan, bouncy and athletic with a decent handle. 9.4 BPM (13 BPM against top 50 comp), 5.7 BLK%, 3.5 STL%, shooting 39% on 3s and 40% on non-rim 2s. Currently shooting 54% from the line, but allegedly shot >80% from the line in Nike EYBL.
Duke v UNC on ESPN right now.
Obviously Flagg, but FRP prospects Knueppel, Maluach, Ian Jackson, Drake Powell also playing. I'm also curious to hear some of our big brains opinions on upper classman RJ Davis. He impressed me at the Maui Invitational but IDK if that was just a "I'm older and better than everyone else" kind of thing.
Flagg off to a hot start.
Duke blowing these scrubs out. I remain unimpressed with Ian Jackson.
Turning this off.
Davis looks like the only tarheel that even trying to put up a fight. Flagg knocking down 3's, Knueppel playing great, and Proctor looking good as well..
UNC sucks. Davis sucks, this program is going down
Was Davis already coach when UNC destroyed Duke in Coach K's last year?
If we get a Top 5 in my opinion Tre Johnson is a no brainer.
Imagine just trading for De'Aaron Fox to pair with Wemby and STILL getting to talk about Top-10 picks. Thanks Atlanta!
With all that happened today these two picks could be the final pieces in the puzzle
Trusting the Spurs front office to burn midnight oil in their scouting
We need a mobile stretch big who can defend, has a knack for rebounds and hit the occasional three point shot.....
Wonder who could that be..........
Tre Jones moving opens the way. You can only have one Tre per team.
I wonder if Naz Reid could be obtainable
After this trade Bailey>Harper
More like Flagg, Bailey or shop the pick around to see who's available.
Egor Demin
Yup, though i think in the likely scenario that we dont get those two, in my view the next priority is to start drafting for Vassell's eventual replacement (e.g., Edgecomb; UT's Johnson).
I'd even say that those two would be great bargaining chips.
We shouldn't replace Devin with another 6'5 player, we need 6'8-6'11 wings who can shoot the ball. Markkanen, MPJ type would be ideal. Bailey looks like one of those players.
I don't want to lose Castle's physical advantages over guards by sliding him to SF.
Ideally it should be Fox/Castle/Wemby with two high end 3-D guys on the wings.
Obviously if Spurs think someone is a must get at our position, draft the player, but I think we're moving away from guards for the foreseeable future.
I'd say draft BPA in the lottery. Still plenty of room for improvement on this team.
Asa Newell?
