That 5 minute video sold me on Wolfe. Dude knows how to cut, how to use angles, passes the ball well, can dribble the ball pretty good, and his shot looks pretty. More importantly though he plays smart basketball. He’s exactly what I want in a back up big.we need players who set hard screens, don’t need the ball in their hands, make quick reads once they do get the ball, and actually finish around the rim.
It’s three times now that Cooper Flagg has turned it over with the ball in his hands and a chance to win late, leading to a loss by his team. I’m not worried about it for his standing as a prospect, though. He will get better and learn from his mistakes.
He is not a shot blocker but he is a beast in rebounding I like that he can play PF and Center and I can see him setting some mean picks for Castle and Fox
should we go for Wemby light?
Sounds like the perfect Spur tbh
His twin, Tomislav Ivisic, who plays for Illinois, is probably a better prospect. TaT rates him at 54 and Zvonimir at 64.
So who would be the best fit to rebound and defend and knock down open shots.Fleming or wolf?Or anybody else?So obvious we need
a big to rebound.We been losing alot cause we are getting outrebounded just look at the last couple of games.
Doesn’t have to be a draft pick. A vet in the mold of like David West would work.
I don't think we should draft a big unless PATFO think there's a steal available.
Using a lottery pick on a player who will never average even 20 minutes would be a waste.
Just get an experienced backup this summer, someone who can be relied on consistently. Keep Bassey as a third stringer.
The Alien and The Big Schwanz as our starting front court has a nice ring to it tbh.
I don't think we should be drafting for need right now tbh, we've seen with Vassell and Keldon that too many young guys together really forms bad habits over the years. Right now the Spurs have some major developmental projects in Castle 1st, and even Sochan as well. Even Wemby has shown he needs serious development. I'd advocate for trying to acquire additional vets to try and raise the collective basketball IQ of this team, as Paul will likely be gone after this year leaving us with just Barnes. With regards to the lottery picks, just take who you think will be the best player 3-4 years from now whether that's guard, wing, or big. I was previously against drafting a guard but they take so long to develop that if you find the right guy he may be a consideration for the post-Fox phase of Wemby's career since I doubt Fox is going to be worth a max contract when he's in his early to mid 30s. If we're counting on draft picks to play a major role in improving this team next year**, then that probably means that we've done something wrong on the development/trade/FA team building front.
**Unless that draft pick's name is Cooper Flagg
I agree for bigs in the top 10 of this draft...I do likewolf, but not that high... you can find a serviceable big in the 2nd round too..
Draft players with the highest ceilings then adjust the roster for fit with free agency and trades.
If he keeps winning like this, he’ll climb up fast, but Spurs has twice the chance to pick him A very smart player, can read plays develop and make the necessary pass. He has true big body who can depend the post which Spurs desperately need against big bodies, while knocking outside shots. The guy is sop re and contributes on day 1.
Why would a big drafted like Wolf or Flemming never play more than 20 minutes?
Barnes is on his way out after another year. Sochan has shown repeatedly that while he can guard smaller perimeter players that legit bigs wreck his and he's still a bad shooter. Bassey's entire career can be marked by yearly knee injuries like tree rings and he's entering free agency. Mamu is a free agent also not that he is ever given a chance anyway.
Getting a smart player like Wolf or a developed non-project like Flemming should be a priority on a team with horrible basketball iq, project non-shooters, or get tossed around by other teams.
Even IF a player like those guys was going to top out at 20 minutes, that's 20 more minutes of good basketball than they have now. Except for Queen, I don't buy that guy as an NBA player I would want
There's a real shortage of back up bigs in the NBA right now. I agree that we shouldn't use our lottery picks on a big, but we should absolutely try to snatch one in the 2nd round. There are enough good prospects in this draft and they should sign one to an NBA contract (not a 2-way).
Fleming is pretty high on my list. I wouldn't even say he's a big, he's more of a PF. Looks like the perfect fit to check big wings, crash the boards, space the floor and give you some additional shotblocking.
And to me, that's a big. Also because I'm not confident that he has the feet to guard smaller ball handlers like Sochan
Rebounds, additional rim protection, taking on big wings masquerading at the PF spot ... He's a PF. I'm sure he's bigger, longer, and stronger than Sochan. Height MIGHT be the same, but dude looks big to me. And after the comedy of seeing Sochan flail around as backup center, I think Flem can do better there also.
How is my boy McNeeley doing?
Haven’t followed college ball, but will probably after today.
Tomislav would be great with the SRP or even moving up a bit to lock him in.
Draft the best available pick and work a trade to get the players we want.
When is the Free Agent post will be available? I want Myles Turner.
Myles Turner might be perfect for this team.
He's Texas kid who went to UT.
He's extremely talented and somewhat underrated due to his unglamorous (heretofore) playing destination.
A bit advanced of age for the Spurs' timeline but not that far off.
Put him in with the rest and they could hit big.
We need smart players who think on the fly like this tbh
