I was thinking. Lets say we keep #2. Would we see if Brooklyn would trade Cam for #14?
If we get Giannis, Fleming becomes a bit of a luxury pick.
I like luxury.

I'm thinking if we are going for Giannis, #14 is going out the door as well.
I also don't think we'll seriously be in the Giannis chase unless Giannis specifically demands San Antonio. The Spurs don't like to play in compe ive trade games where the price gets ratcheted up by compe ion, which is a good approach to avoid emptying your war chest and getting left with your pants down.
At #14 now with #2 in hand, I like Sorber, Carter and maybe a raw athletic prospect like Essengue.
They have a lot of picks in this draft already though
I don't think there's much to discuss with this pick.
Either get the best available wing or trade it.
Newell, CMB, Bryant, Essengue, Demin, Sorber, Fleming are projected in that range.
Figure out who's the best available player and either get him or trade the pick.
Most far out prediction:
Hansen Yang at 14 to soak up that China money to help pay for the future.
Barlowe brothers today were talking about him moving up into the first round.
Use it to draft a center. Getting a backup for Wemby who's cost-controlled for four years and who could become a decent trade asset if he develops is my top goal. If the Spurs draft Bailey instead of Harper, then Richardson becomes a logical choice
I still think you go upside here, so long as it's a big or wing. No need for more guards with guaranteed contracts. I'd be making calls for moving up to poach a Queen if he falls (unlikely). Otherwise, a Sorber, a Demin, they're all good.
I would not mind Bailey with the 14.
I would be excited if Carter Bryant was still on the board at 14.
Harper and Bryant would be a great draft. Look for a backup big with 2nd round pick or see who goes undrafted and sign them to summer league and see if they or someone else on SL stands out for the two way.
I'd go McNeeley, Fleming, or Essengue, leaning towards the first two.
Personally think it’s unlikely we use #14 unless #2 gets traded.
Honestly if Essengue or Sorber aren't there, I'd rather just trade back with Brooklyn and pick up two of their picks in the 20s for it. A lot of underrated guys in the 20s that can be valuable rotation players.
Walter Clayton Jr - 4th guard who offers shooting and is the ideal off-guard next to Castle or Harper
Yaxel Lendeborg - I just think he's a straight up better player and prospect compared to Fleming - similar measurements, more physical, better rebounder, better basketball IQ
Kalkbrenner - can continue playing drop when Wemby goes to the bench, 9'4 standing reach and 7'6 wingspan
I think being able to get impact player at 2 increases odds that the pick at 14 is a higher upside, less immediate impact kind of pick. Any potential draft and stash type options?
I hope they don't trade out of this pick tbh. There will be some really good prospects that will still be available. I personally like Essengue but I wouldn't be mad at a Bryant or one of the bigs.
Dude Cam is like 30 years old lol. We're not ready to win now though I'm sure the team would benefit from a 1st round series.
i'd be very happy with any of Fleming, Bryant, or Sorber
i'd be ok with McNeeley, Clifford
i could live with Essengue
Fleming imo
vecenie on his post-lotto pod said Cedric Coward at 14 is one he likes. thats quite a bit earlier than ive seen him go elsewhere.
This is gonna be a trade for cash smh
Spurs likely taking Harper at #2 will result in them playing a lot of 3 guards lineup. It makes a player, who is primary a SF, like McNeeley, less attractive than before the lottery.
Fleming's profile is even more perfect now for Spurs. Spurs fifth player alongside Fox, Harper, Castle and Wembanyama can play a Bowen like role on the offensive end. The main question about Fleming is whether or not he is a good player behind his great profile.
Spurs could gamble on some young high upside prospect like Asa Newell, Carter Bryant, Essengue or even Beringer.
Zach Lowe mentioned him as a guy that front offices are really high on but don’t want to tip their hand. Seems like a really intriguing player
i agree with Fleming. i do think its a fair question to ask if they actually would like Fleming the player vs the idea of the archetype that Fleming would occupy.
i like bryant a lot, but he has no on-ball game or ball handling to speak of. neither does Fleming, but its more forgivable when you have that kind of size. i dont really see high upside in Newell. Essengue is at least intriguing and his shooting has come alive a bit, but man, if we are taking Harper, i really want the next pick to have shooting as one of his strengths, not one of his swing skills
WTF does it mean for a draft prospect to be listed as a "potential Duke recruit"? Isn't everyone on the planet technically a potential Duke recruit?
