2025 NBA Draft

[scottspurs]

Isaiah Evans one of the best shooters in the draft has withdrawn his name from the 2025 draft and will not attend the combine. He will be going back to Duke.

You think CIA Pop hasn't rigged one last lottery for us? I'd enjoy getting the top4 pick just because of the league wide meltdown it would cause.

If you're going for a meltdown rig the Spurs pick to be #2 and then the Spurs pick from Atlanta #1; go all out.

See, that's why he's CIA Pop. Can't make it too obvious.

Is the 8th pick the highest pick the Spurs can get without jumping into the top 4? How does that work?

Yes, according this helpful tool below. Also over 38% odds it falls to 9 or 10.

Same with 14 btw— so if that pick goes to someone else right off the bat we’re in for a super fun lotto.

The league should prove the lottery isn't rigged by ensuring the Spurs get the #1 pick.

Thanks. That's exactly what I wanted to know - If/when I should get excited.

Like if the announcer says, "Atlanta gets the 14th pick. That means the Spurs have moved up."

Whispers are that Cedric Coward is the winner of day 1 at the combine. They play a lot of 3 on 3 the 1st two days. I would honestly be pumped if he rose up to pick 14 status. One of my favorite players in this draft.

Did a roll at Tankathon and got this and all I could think is how pissed Atlanta would be if it went down like that.

No. Like if the announcer says Sacramento gets the 14th pick, our ATL pick has jumped into the top 4, and then we have to look for our natural pick at #9 to see if it jumped up, also.

This would also mean Daryl Morey would get fired.

This site is already running slow as crap. Hopefully it's not worse come lottery night .

Yup.

I also wonder if for our natural pick if it would be best for no one in the range 9-13 to jump into the Top 4. I assume that would displace a lot of teams higher up with a downstream effect on 8. So basically we want it boring until we get to 8 (unless there is magic with 14).

Bank of it being completely terrible then. Might have to hold your nose and go to Reddit for a few.

If anyone but the Spurs is called for pick #14 it means the Spurs' ATL pick moved up to top 4. For instance in my tankathon roll both the ATL->SA pick and the SAC pick got into the top 4 so Chicago was pick #14.

I was gonna say hopefully it is running slow as because we're all coming to celebrate winning pick #1, but I know it'll be running slowly with us all ing if the Spurs end up with #10 and #14 too so figure the site creeping tomorrow night is an inevitability no matter what results you condition on.

I hope it's the first one and not the latter .

Yeah, that’s a possibility, and actually good for us, depriving ATL of a late lottery pick and likely making their remaining picks from the Dejounte trade a bit better,but I considered the odds too long to even discuss.

[PhantomDashCam]

Has definite Spurs vibes...

[mudyez]

Wishlist for today:

1) Spurs jumping in the top4
2) Houston not jumping
3) OKC not getting the 76ers Pick
4) Flagg going east

..if the unlikely 1) happens I can live with the other three not hitting

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

My Flagg wishlist:

1. Spurs
2. Nets - for our friend Sean Marks, besides they still owe Houston a pickswap in a couple of years
3/4/5. Wizards/ Hornets/ Bulls - east better than west
6. Raptors - just hate them
7/8/9/10. Blazers/ Jazz/ Kings/ Pelicans - harmless hopefully
11. Sixers - ers don’t deserve it
- - - zombie apocalypse - - -
12/13. Rockets/ Mavs

[Dejounte]

I keep rolling 9 and 14

[Dejounte]

Keep going back and forth on what prospect I want more…

do I want a potential star in Jase who doesn’t quite fit the Spurs’ vision of versatility at all five positions? He is a great talent boost but is it worth it?

do I want a Derrick White level contributor in Kon who you could plug in 1-2-3 and not skip a beat? Kon taking over while Cooper was out was a nice showing. He is also 99th percentile in miscellaneous actions, meaning he was among the best in getting loose balls, etc. He is basically tailor made for playoff basketball.

do I want a huge risk, huge reward prospect in Queen? So many red flags but the payoff could be big if he has his head on straight and is a willing listener on defense and touches. The insane level of chemistry he and Wemby could have on offense would be epic.

do I want the safest bet in VJ Edgecombe? Not much more need to be said about him. He’s the pick where you’ll hear the least complaints about.

These are basically my four guys I’d want if the Spurs don’t jump to #1 or #2 (of which I’d want Cooper and then Harper). At 3 and 4 or if we stay at 8 or move down 1-2 at 9, 10… these are the best picks, IMO.
