Keldon is becoming that guy from Office Space that kept getting his desk reposition until he found himself in the basement.
So many dumb s here.
lol.

Why are you assholes so quick to dump Wesley and Branham. They improved at end of season and are under contract. They can be good depth and maybe even breakthrough. Remember there are 17 roster spots.
LMAO. Guilty as charged. I was celebrating quietly thinking we’re so getting Ace. But then realized.. with how bad our overall talent is, might as well go for the most talented dude not named Cooper Flagg. Then again.. I have to put my faith in matfo. I feel like Mitch would be closely involved in the process in he’d pick whoever he thinks is the most talented and also has the right temperament for this team. Kinda excited for him tbh, this pick will be his first attempt at putting his own stamp on the team.
Edge seems to be a 2 and only a 2. The Spurs favor multi position players.
For wanting Bailey? Or for trading Harper for Giannis? Bc I doubt Harper ever gets that good. And Bailey I’m now off of due to him being only 6’7. I thought he was a legit 6’10’ and if he was that then yeah I want Bailey. But it’s a moot point. At 6’7 you just take the quicker guard who has good size for a guard anyways.
Mitch ain't the one picking; it's Brian and RC. And they love big point guards, I can't see them taking Bailey or Edgecombe here.
As I wrote earlier, over the past 15 years 6'4-6'6 ballhandling guards picked in top5 were pretty much a guaranteed success.
Evan Turner was the last true flop, 2010.
Exum got ruined by injuries.
RJ Barrett is the worst player of the bunch, a subpar 20ppg scorer, but he was never projected to be a ballhandler.
Other than generational prospects, 6'4-6'6 top5 point guards are the safest picks.
I'd say Harper's floor would would be something like 15/5/7 with average 3pt shooting and a bit above average defense.
Worst case scenario we solved our 6th man role for the next decade.
Best case scenario we got beyond lucky yet again and have a superstar point guard draft rights.
If the Spurs really wanted Ace Bailey over Harper, they should just trade #2 and Devin for #7 and TMIII, since TMIII is the 95% outcome of Ace Bailey.
(I don't advocate we do this, btw).
Excellent work ethic. Great support system even outside NBA pedigree. High feel. He can bust, but it's pretty unlikely.
The guy is a can’t miss prospect. We are very lucky to have him. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him have better nba career over Flagg.
imagine harden, sga, Cade Cunningham jacking off mixing there sperm dna and inoculating tiger woods mom for that phillopinno grit. You have Dylan. Complete player on those highlights.
Other than injuries which he's never had issues with, I don't see how would he bust to the level of not being good enough for playoff rosters.
Has the size, has good enough athleticism even though he's not an explosive athlete, has the skillset and most importantly has high IQ.
As for the questions if he's willing to come off the bench as a rookie, I'm sure his dad will have a thing or two to tell him about wasting his prime on horrible Clippers teams.
Meh he was 6’7.5”. In shoes he’s 6’8”. And a plus 7’ wingspan. He was only .25” shorter than Flagg.
bailey has a high quick shot with good form. We have Fox and Castle who are ball dominant already and Wemby is our superstar. Bailey fits in perfectly.
Would you pass on Cade Cunnigham because Rudy Gay is a better fit?
My bet is we're going to see Fox-Castle-Harper starting.
That would just be about keeping everyone's ego intact.
We should have two of them on the floor at all times, there's plenty of minutes available.
Having all three out there would raise some serious questions about spacing and rebounding.
If the Spurs could get the 76ers to part with the Clippers unprotected '28 1st, I could see it. Edgecombe seems the Spurs type and his projected cleaner fit would get them out of the looming pickle they otherwise face.
Not saying they won't or shouldn't, but between Fox, Harper Jr. and to a lesser extent Castle and their agents, it'd be awkward at best and toxic at worst if they select him.
I agree.
And I’m kind of OK with it for a season but the fit isn’t ideal on both ends.
The Celtics have made it work with Holiday-White-Brown. Castle isn’t that far off Jaylen Brown in terms of size defensively. But offensively that lineu has way better spacing than the Spurs one.
When you look at the West there are a few big wings who will overmatch Steph Castle if he’s playing the 3.
OKC has Jaylen Williams.
Houston has no one, Castle can cover Amen Thompson
Lakers have Luka.
Denver has no one.
Clippers have Kawhi
Minny has Ant who Castle is a decent matchup for.
GS has Jimmy which is an Ok matchup for Castle.
Memphis has no one.
Sacramento has no one.
Dallas has no one.
Phoenix has Durant
Portland has no one unless you count Avdija
NO has Trey Murphy who isn’t physical.
Utah has no one.
Yeah, we mostly agree on 3+2 lineups with two legit bigs.
OKC, Cavs, Nuggets, Timberwolves and even the Knicks with OG don't have big SFs, but every one of those PFs would be really bad matchup for anyone on our roster except maybe Jeremy, but he's not going to be a starter.
We need a 6'9-6'11 PF, maybe even two. I don't think anyone available at #14 will be ready to start, we need to get one in via trade or free agency.
I don't see how Edgecomb is a better fit than Harper. Edgecomb is a 2 who can only play the 2, whereas Harper is a 1 who can play the 2 and maybe a little bit of the 3.
The Spurs may end up liking Edgecomb more than Harper as they do their evaluations, but I don't see how it could be because of fit.
This is where retaining Sochan as a bench defensive specialist has some value. Any of those guys who present size-related matchup problems for Castle, Sochan can guard.
With that said, Castle needs to improve his D this summer in addition to working on his 3P shot. His 1v1 D really took a nosedive after a promising start last season. I don't want to see it go the way of Devin's defense.
Just watch the spurs pull a primo, samanic, stunt cause the spurs know better than anybody... they passed on sengun and Halliberton..watch them pass on Harper..
comparing top 4 selections to picks between 10-20. okay.
Spurs also need rebounding from the forwards, since Wemby is gonna get pulled away from the paint
