2025 NBA Draft

[scottspurs]

Joan Beringer’s official measurements from his abbreviated 2025 NBA Draft Combine make-up activities, per source.


6’11” barefoot, 234.8 lbs with a 7’4½” wingspan and a 9’3” standing reach.

Real Madrid’s Hugo González’s anthro measurements from his abbreviated 2025 NBA Draft Combine make-up activities:


6’6 ¼" barefoot, 222.7 lbs with a 6’10 ¾" wingspan, 8’5 ½" standing reach, and 9” x 10 ¼" hands

[sfernald]

Omg you guys are giving away the future harden/shai foul merchant rookie that would be the absolute perfect pairing with Wemby for 10 years for some lettuce and ing cottage cheese!!

Theres a reason Morey wants him. He recognized what the last harden was capable of.

[Degoat]

I miss reading TIMMVP big board updates and news…

[RedAzSa]

While this is a lineup I can definitely get behind, and I find it plausible that Philly would do 2 for 3 + McCain + 2031 1st, I find it very hard to believe that NO would be dumb enough to offer #7 and TMIII for even Vassell + #3, never mind Keldon and Branham

Perhaps. I’m just projecting the type of value I’d like to see if we did want to trade down. Not there? Take Harper and don’t look back.

Nice measurements for he and Beringer but for us those are guys projected to go well after 14 and well before 38 I believe. Are you implying we try and exchange such as for a couple of the BRK picks to go after one or both of them? What’s your end game here?

lol I was just posting the measurements. You never know what the Spurs will do and they could be trade back candidates

[goliath]

If Flagg didn't exist, Harper would be the unquestioned #1 pick. If the Spurs are really considering trading away from picking a #1 talent in the draft, they better be damn certain about who they are targetting and what else they are trying to get, tbh.

Imagine a near future, where Harper becomes an all-star, and the Spurs are the team that traded away Dylan Harper for fringe rotation player Khaman ing Maluach. It's a scary thought.

Exactly. Imagine watching the Harper led Nets get to the finals or the Harper led Pelicans knocking us out of the playoffs in four or five years because we traded Harper for two starters that fit better

[J_Paco]

Thats just his style tho. He’s snarky about everything.

Good point.

I stop paying attention to him when his 'best PG prospect since J. Kidd' infatuation, Killian Hayes, flamed out in Detroit.

And him constantly ting on Spurs (current or former) players deservedly (Zach Collins) or not (Jeremy Sochan).

[J_Paco]

Harper is big (6'7" in shoes with a 6'11" wingspan) enough to play SF/Point Forward, so not sure the obsession with getting Murphy III - who is a very good pro, but Harper has a higher ceiling - just because of a perceived 'fit.'

Spurs can use other avenues - later 1st, free-agency or trade - to acquire more defense and three-point shooting.

[chubbs]

rumor has it spurs are in advanced discussions to trade the #2 pick for kd

Harper is 6”7 in shoes? I thought he was 6”4.5 barefoot.

[J_Paco]

You are correct since I was looking at tankathon's profile for him. And it is likely adding an inch for his height in shoes.

Still, he's a solid 6'6" in shoes which is fine for a modern SF.

He's a similar size and build to Aaron Nesmith.

[DAF86]

this seems like way too much of a pipe dream

so if i have this straight, spurs give

#2 and 14, Vassell, Barnes

and get #7, Durant, Trey Murphy, and Jared McCain?

Not saying I'd do it, but take away Philly from it. Spurs/Pelicans straight up: #2 + Vassell + Keldon for #7 + TM3 + Herb + a 26 first rounder.

You draft either Knuepel or Malauch with #7.

Roster:

Fox / Castle
Knuepel / Champagnie
TM3 / Sochan
Herb / Barnes
Wemby / Brook Lopez (free agent)

And you still have #14.

I probably still wouldn't do it, but that's the least we would have to get for me to even consider it.

I'm not saying they would. But if they're as high on Bailey as some say they supposedly are, then it's all but certain they'd have to package either Jones or Murphy III with 7 to move up and Murphy III has both more overlap with Bailey and would fill more of a need for the Spurs than Jones would.

Also, though stereotypical, Dumars and Weaver are both old, which means they're less likely to be analytically inclined.

[Dverde]

Pelicans cannot be that desperate. I could see the Wizards offering anyone but Sarr for #2. They are more desperate to be legitimate.

You think NO wants the 2nd pick to draft Bailey? Philadelphia would be ecstatic if the pick was traded and they took Bailey. In a case like that, you may as well trade with Philadelphia for the 3rd pick, then trade the 3rd to NO.

[Uriel]

Maluach terrifies me. tantalizing tools but i think he has high bust potential. and even if he pans out, he may not be able to share the floor with wemby much

good amount of risk for potentially not much reward if he just ends up a good backup center who we cant afford to keep 4 years later because you cant overpay backups

I don't think he has high bust potential at all, I think he's a very safe pick. The reason I say that is because he only started playing basketball relatively recently and he was already a defensive force as a freshman in college basketball. He will only get better from here. I see him as a rich man's Jakob Poeltl.

[Pauleta14]

you’re OBVIOUSLY moving the goal posts!!

No I'm not.

1st picks like TD or Wemby aren't subject to long reflections

I could've added Primo in the best fit rather than bpa

Explain why pls...

I'm getting higher on him and trying to find why he could be a bust.

He has the size (7'2), length (7'5 wingspan), mobility, touch around the rim, work ethic, great character and he barely started playing basketball 4-5 years ago.

I think he could be the steal of this draft if he slips past the top10

[John B]

I fully agree about moving up from the 14. I've been consistent about that area being a dead spot relatively and the pickings not too great. If they don't move it for Durant.

However, I do think they'll wind up taking it and much ado about nothing here.

About Harper, they're not trading that one, I wouldn't think.

I agree. The Spurs will be moving up from either #14 or #38 to grab a defensive big.

#2 Harper is a no brainer. You don’t pass on drafting a potential Harden caliber player, and trade down for a Trey Murphy?? Or because there’s a potential problem with signing all 4 of your best players?? So you trade down?? It’s the most silliest thing I’ve read from ST. You’re lucky you landed Harper. Draft him and figure it out.

Vassell becomes the odd man because of Harper. Vassell needs to be moved before his trade value gets hit for reduced minutes. The Spurs need help on 1. rebounding, 2. PF/C paint defense. If the target is Maluach, then I expect any of Vassell/Keldon/Barnes to be traded with #14 and/or #38.

KD is a pipe dream. He’s an expensive 1 year rental and it’s not really the best option. First, he’s too expensive if Spurs have to go on a bidding war. Secondly, he doesn’t help with the minutes. Already Spurs will have Wemby, Fox, Castle taking most shots, plus Harper, then you add KD? What the Spurs need is a defensive big who will defend the post, get some rebounds and an opportunistic scorer like Naz Reid, not another max guy who will demand the ball!

The best scenario, draft #2 Harper. Trade up to draft Maluach (if he’s the target) and move Vassell in the process. Sign either Adams or Capela. Draft a project big or a shooter at #38. And if you’re lucky, John Collins opts out and ring chase.

I agree with pretty much all of what you said. I wouldn't waste time or any more assets than what has been discussed here for KD. If it costs more than the 14th pick and a couple of other players, I'm fine to completely forget about getting him. Move on and try and trade up with a similar package the Spurs were going to offer for Durant (if the Suns don't take it), and definitely keep the 2nd pick.

if he plays for the Pelicans he's most likely injured when we play them

Dylan Harper visited the Spurs this past week in San Antonio. Spurs are not bringing in any other top prospects for visits.
