He’s Javtokas, reincarnated!
this guy would be another good pick up as a center prospect. 37" vertical at that size is crazy. (Talking about Niederhauser)

Gah. What could have been....
My dream 2007-2011 Spurs lineup.
Duncan/Javtokas
Scola/Splitter
Bowen
Manu
Parker

This pick is 1000% getting traded tbh. It's BWrong's MO.
Latest espn top 100 big board:
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...spects-players
How NIL is affecting the second round is quite crazy. Between 35th and 100th on this big board, there is only 1 college underclassman (Tyrese Proctor at #43).
At pick #38, there will still maybe have a couple of college underclassmen left for Spurs (among Proctor, Niederhauser, Thiero and Powell) but the bulk of available players will be either college seniors, that are between 22 and 24 years old, or international prospects.
If the pick isn't traded, draft and stash sounds highly likely with this pool of players.
Yeah with all the players returning to school I feel like a draft and stash or lesser prospect that will accept a two way will be the route the spurs go if they keep this pick. I would rather kick the can down the road and get a future 2nd. A few interesting draft and stash candidates but I would just rather go after two way guys after the draft.
Five of my favorite non-elite prospects come in between 26 and 31 (26 - Fleming, 28 - Penda, 29 - Coward, 30 - Saraf, 31 - Powell). It's going to be painful to watch them all come off right before our pick at 38, tbh (not that I necessarily think we'll use 38 even if they are there).
i doubt Coward will fall past OKC at #15
If all the players we like are already gone, I'd be looking at the 12th-15th guys on other teams. After all, that's probably where a player we drafted at 38 would end up on the roster. If possible, trade the pick for someone with at least a little bit of NBA experience, rather than for a future pick or another stash. I think there will be a lot of trades on draft night, maybe the spurs can do something with the 38th pick to help the team now rather than later.
I heard on a podcast that teams believe Coward got a lottery promise
That Yang guy remains a legit backup C option at 38.
Assuming we go with someone like Bryant or Essengue at 14, I’d be fine with Yang. I’d prefer Kalkbrenner but doubt he’s available at 38.
If we get Sorber/Fleming, the wing options at 38 seem not-so-appealing. Powell is about the only guy in that range I’d be interested in.
as he should. He's a high level 3-and-D guy with elite wingspan and athleticism with a polished jumpshot. No-brainer tbh.
yeah it seems like a safe bet to find a valuable big in the second round. It's just hard to pass on Sorber cause he's so polished.
I want to be one of the teams picking at OKC’s carcass next year, specifically JayLIN Williams.
Yeah, I really want us to start investing in some bigs and in a perfect world draft someone with potential at 38 and sign Adams to be a teacher to Wemby and who ever we draft. On a side note, would love to bring Splitter in as assistant coach I think he could really help with the PF/C positions.
What do folks think about Koby Brea? He looks like an NBA shooter. Not sure he can do much else, but I think that’s worth a swing at 38.
Best shooter in the draft but with a negative wingspan not sure if he provides much else. You can play in this league for a long time though when you are 6’7 and can shoot like he does. I would love him in the 2nd round at 38. Especially if the Spurs draft a player who hasn’t developed in the shooting department at 14.
I still like Zikarsky as a developmental back up big
Dibs on the dedicated thread:
The Warm, Hairless Marsupial Pouch of Blocco Dunkarsky
Zikarsky moves well for his size could he be our Luc Longley?
Think there's a definite tier separation around pick #30-35, would definitely recommend a small trade up if possible, especially if 14 gets traded. Now that Powell is going to be out of range, would probably recommend:
1. Kalkbrenner - hopefully he lasts until the second round, but he's easily #1 for me. Near guaranteed rotational big able to contribute almost immediately, probably not much difference in impact between him and rotational big like Kornet by year 2-3
2. Thiero - don't care that he can't shoot it, need a Cissoko replacement deep bench developmental prospect. Not quite Thompson twins athletic, but probably 95th percentile with a positive AST:TO and really nice turnover generation. 45 dunks on the year. Poor 3 point shooter, but >45% from midrange on average last 2 years suggests that he *might* shoot it.
3. Sion James - strong, decent defender, shoots the 3 reasonably well, probably a useful player down the line
4. Hansen Yang - because it, why not, he's probably better than Danny Wolf
I’m really liking Momo Faye for this pick. Averaging 10 pts, 8 Reb, 1.5 Blk in the LBA in Italy. Measured in at 6’9 with 7’4 1/2 wingspan. On tape looks like one of the most athletic bigs in this class. 12-15 minutes off the bench behind Wemby. I think he can give you that right away. He can really run the floor well. I think you can really push the pace when he is in. Major job threat. Disruptive on defense. Over time you could develop his shot and his perimeter defense and he might be able to play the 4.
