Demin is a high ceiling low floor project. If he can put it all together he could become a borderline All-Star. If he doesn‘t he’s out of the league like Luka Samanic
I wanted Demin and McNeeley since the beginning so I'm holding that line (if we don't move up). Won't be upset with plenty of other choices though. I'd try to keep CP3 to train Demin from the bench... and try to trade Keldon and Devin for big man depth
Where Spurs at right now, I’m picking Kon and Wolf
CP3/Castle, Fox, Kon, Wolf, Wemby - that’s a very high IQ group. Wemby can roam and swap what big Wolf slows down.
Blake, Devin, Keldon, Barnes, Sochan/Mamu/Bismack
What I like about Wolf is a high IQ player who already knows how to play with another big, connector or facilitator. Tbh, Wemby is not as good backing down with the ball with his high dribble and weaker hip frame. He’s best playing KD role. Wolf is not dominant but he fills the stats - a true solid role player. He’s only playing point-forward a year with Michigan so I’m not worried with those TO’s. And he’s 34% at 3, so I’m not worried about his shooting.
Kon is a Swiss Army knife and plays the same as Wolf, another baller. Kon/Wolf high bball IQ, both solid role players for me.
There are so many ways this draft can go and the combine results will definitely shift things, but today where we are projected to draft I'd be thrilled with:
Spurs pick- Jackucionis or Kneupple
Atlanta pick- Fleming or Bryant
2nd round: De Larrea or Proctor or Kalkbrenner or Clayton Jr
I’m anticipating a meltdown on this thread when Kon’s combine measurements reveal he’s closer to 6’4 with a negative wingspan. He’s a of a player, but he looks small to me (or maybe be plays small).
That wouldn't be a meltdown. That would simply be moving on to the next guy. I think he'll turn out around 6'7", but if he came in 6'4" he'd definitely drop.
for those obsessed with height, maybe? Boomers still haven’t adjusted to the fact that 6’4” tall players can play the forward spots effectively
anyway, it’s all moot since I don’t think he’ll turn out to be that small. Don’t care either way since it’s all about if the prospect is a hooper or not, and he is. Proctor is listed at 6’5”/6’6”, btw:
If you look at the pictures with Flagg he looks 6'7" if you assume the 6'9" Flagg measurements are correct.for those obsessed with height, maybe? Boomers still haven’t adjusted to the fact that 6’4” tall players can play the forward spots effectively

For me the cutoffs for Kon are the following.
Height without shoes: 6’6”
Standing reach: 8’7
These are Jaylen Brown type measurements. Wingspan is less important than standing reach for an offensive player but a neutral wingspan would be a win for him. If he’s at or above these then he can probably play the 3 next to Fox and Castle.
For me to be in on CMB (who I like) he would need to come in at least 6’6” without shoes, 7’0” wingspan and 8’10” standing reach. This would allow him to thrive as a 4 imo. These are PJ Washington, Draymond Green type measurements

ESPN stock watch is up and I am surprised Fleming is targeted on defense. Fleming truthers is he really a good defender or just gambles a lot?
he has no basketball iq and fouls alot.Sometimes hes worthless on the court.
From the little full games I watched, Fears is true lead guard but his wingspan is concerning, shows up a lot in his finishing. Clifford looks lika pro physically, watched the Colorado game with zero idea who is who and you definitely could tell from his frame. Bryant is a skinny 220 that guy could be Aaron Gordon size at his peak. Skirtz is nice, such an impact player but unlikely pro with that frame.
Looking at mock drafts, I'm just hoping all the guards do well.
In some scenarios, there wouldn't be much difference between #5 and #10 pick for us.
Tre Johnson, Jakucionis, Fears, Jase Richardson and even Traore are the players we want to get picked before it's our turn.
Hornets, Sixers, Blazers and Bulls are the only teams that probably wouldn't draft a guard unless Harper is available.
Everyone else needs a point guard.
I wouldnt take Wolf in the 2nd round tbh
edit: being a bit over dramatic. would take him in the 2nd... just not a fan of him with either top 20 picks. too limited, and i dont see his playstyle carrying over well. but theres enough skill to think he finds a niche in the NBA. if olynyk and mo wagner can stick, wolf should as well

who are all these successful 6'4 forwards in the NBA?
Their Big Board feels about right as of now. Sorber might be in the running for us.

Just updated.
Jesus if that is our team next year, you can expect a lot more PATFO has got to go threads from me
don't like wolf. don't like queen.
How do you see high ceiling? I see no all star potential in his tape and stats.
I'll say 6'5 but not a long wingspan. Has a guard's game.
I also like Sorber a lot, and his injury could land him to Spurs lap. Big bully in the paint, can pass and better mobility than Queen.
This team doesn’t need another hero-baller who cannot fall in line. Unless it’s Flagg or Harper. Spurs need solid role players. They already have Wemby, Fox and Castle. They don’t need another Devin or Keldon who have channel visions.
A fun hobby is to look at player comps of white dudes... they are usually just other white dudes
Knueppel: Hayward, Sczerbiak, Fournier, Kennard
