this guy is top 10 in damn near every drill
Yeah Coward looks like an NBA player. I’m all in on the mystery box dude at 14. Take a swing.

I don't think he's going to last to #14. There are always at least a couple of players who risk up the ranks quickly once the draft starts getting closer, and Coward is looking like another one of those.
Coward's age will push him out of the lottery. He's likely a finished product and teams are looking for upside at that point still.
This is the way
I generally agree with you, but I think NIL is messing things up this year in ways we haven’t seen. I’m wondering if at this range we do start seeing the upper class men go, as opposed to later which was more common before.
Hopefully Egor D. drops to 14.
would love Raynauld as a back up C, but he's now mocked in the early 20s
The last older player drafted in the lottery that I remember was Chris Duarte. He never saw year 4, and that was after a damn good rookie season.
Too bad Ingram is a just a guy who had no business being drafted. I hope they didn't waste a 2nd for a Mitch feel good
Keegan Murray was close to the same draft age, maybe 1 month older, and he went #4
At least there are some interesting guys that could slide to 14
Hopefully at least 1 of these guys slips:
Wolf
Fleming
Step-Nephew Coward
Bryant
Queen
I'm worried they'll all get picked and Spurs will have to pick at the likes of Newell or Richardson or Essengue or McNeely
Edey was 22. Jordan Hawkins was 21. dno what the cutoff is for older.
I don't like Raynaud for Spurs as backup C.
Spurs backup C should be a good shotblocker. If he isn't, like Zollins in the past, Spurs will have to change their whole defensive philosophy as soon as Wembanyama goes to the bench to stay effective defensively. I doubt a team that young will be great at that.
is he not a good rim protector at 7 feet? I wouldn’t mind Kalkbrenner either although Sorber if he’s there at 14 seems like the best bet
Usually 22 is over the limit. That’s the point where the majority underperform their draft slots. There’s a good article on it in the Knecht thread.
Edey was held out in 4th quarters, and was played off the floor in the playoffs. He can’t leverage his strengths very often because he’s hunted on defense by being repeatedly put into pick and rolls.
it was painful watching Edey get cooked in the playoffs.
True, but these are exceptions that prove the rule. There was a statistic I saw recently that did an age/growth comparison and what it showed was that the older a prospect was coming in the less potential they have for growth. When you get a 4 year player it's a blessing and a curse. You are getting a known commodity which is great, but they have a flatline growth projection and their numbers will rarely surpass what they did in their final year of college. They are the definition of high floor/low ceiling prospect.
…but inevitable. Team’s just didn’t care early on, because November, December. Even in the early part on the year, Memphis had to pull him late in games. He’s really a role player, a change of pace.
