I can definitely see the Bulls taking him at 12, and can also see the Hawks taking him at 13.
Both teams need a C with a defensive presence and a vertical spacer for Trae and Giddey.
Good luck tho Dejounte haha I know you want him badly.
Thread-worthy, tbh
(Anybody else notice how active this board has been since winning the #2 pick? Welcome, newcomers!)

if he's indeed a young Al Horford sign me up. Definitely a guy who I got on my radar and wouldn't mind picking.
I'm fully prepared for a last minute trade and more 20131 picks.
Yeah, unfortunately I think the Bulls might pick him up
Sorber strikes me as a guy who doesn’t know how good he is or he’s just super humble. Normally, kids like him who lead their team think they’re hot but this guy just wants a role on a winning team. The perfect Spur, IMO.
Also, his physical profile matches Jaren Jackson Jr, except he’s 30 lbs heavier. A version of JJJ that actually doesn’t get pushed around in the paint? Sign me up.
I've got him #9 on my board, so I'd be thrilled if we got him at 14. I'd even to be willing to throw in a couple seconds to move up to 12 if needed.
We have plenty of ways to move up a few picks if the Spurs really want him. #14 + #38 + future SRPs should be enough to jump up a couple of spots if another team isn’t in love with anyone where they’re picking.
That being said, the Spurs will meet with tons of prospects over the next monthI think Sorber is one of the better potential options at 14 but wouldn’t get too excited over the simple fact the Spurs are doing due diligence on him.
Nice thing is the Spurs have a ton of assets if they want to move up.
I think it’s telling that Sorber was a day 1 interview though. For example, Egor listed all the teams he’s met with and the Spurs weren’t included. He listed like 7 teams, and he will be within the Spurs range at 14th. I don’t think it’s clear cut that the Spurs will meet with every possible prospect, in fact, it will probably be fewer than people expect.
Seems like a good kid; go sf at 14 and big man at 38 ( lots of options ) if he’s gone by 14.
Unless Malauch slips, I think he’s Chicago’s pick. They need size.
Curious to see your post lotto board (taking the consensus 5 out of the equation).
Nice find Dejounte I will add him to the list.

Seems like a good humble dude. On the court he bullies people which is what the Spurs need. Sounds like the Bulls might be a problem though at 12. Also the Hawks at 13. Maybe the Trail Blazers at 11 that already have a well rounded team would be willing to trade back a few spots for future draft capital. Throw in a Malaki Branham. If he was the Spurs guy you might have to go get him.
How is his foot injury? can he do the scrimmage today?
I’m hoping Queen and Maluach push him to 14. Him not participating in the scrimmage might be a blessing.
As far as another bigs, Frenchman big Maxine Raynaud 7 footer without shoes and 9’2 reach did well in the scrimmage with 20 points, 9 rebounds. Yaxel Lendeborg at 6’8 barefoot with 7’4 wingspan and 9 1/2 standing reach showed his outside touch. Likewise Chinaman 7-2 Hansen Yan going 5-7 pg some NBA scouts watching him play in person the first time. Plenty of opportunities to pick a backup C, including Goldin in the mix.
Spurs draft bigs very very rarely. Don’t think they’ll be in for Sorber and he’s a good fit for the two teams ahead of Spurs at 12 and 13.
I think pick 14 will be a wing or traded.
The full 20131 Experience is the guy people want being drafted and then traded. You've got to get that full feeling of having your preferred prospect on your roster and then trading him away.
McNeeley completely off your board now mo7888?
I'd throw in a couple of seconds to upgrade my nachos to have chili at the Frost Bank Center food court tbh
Nah that would have required taking Buzelis. Was out on Dillingham once he came in at Trae Young weight at the combine.
Looks like he has McNeeley at 8
Sure enough... back to the dungeon for me.
You taking McNeeley or Fleming at 14 if both available?
