2025 NBA Draft

[SpursGenius]

No, it's just that your reading comprehension is horrible.
We needed a backup and we got much more.
Your average backup would be getting 15ish mpg and we'd get a backup SG, Harper can easily play 30+.



96 minutes available at guard positions and Castle can easily play SF in most matchups. If Harper and Castle improve their 3pt shooting, there won't be any issue with all 3 of them playing together.
Until then, two can always be on the floor and whoever is doing better on that given night closes the game out. Nothing like healthy compe ion between teammates.
If it becomes another Fox/Haliburton situation a few years down the road, we trade one of them and get a haul. Win/win.

Rasheer Fleming says hi

Two glaring holes are backup C and starting PF.
Backup C isn't worth spending assets on, we'll either get one with #14 or for cheap via trade/FA.

There's no starting PF available in the draft who'd make an immediate impact, so I don't see the point of connecting that issue with Harper pick.

Joan Beringer would be a reach but if you want to look at the positives. He was a soccer goalie for most of his life and that shows with his elite hands and reactionary instincts. Best shot blocker in this class and shows promise as a rebounder. Guy runs up and down the court like a gazelle and gives max effort. If you set him up he can finish at the rim at a high rate like most rim running bigs. Great athlete with excellent length.

After that it’s all negative. Dude is literally still learning basketball. 1st started playing 40 months ago. He can’t shoot, he can’t dribble. He doesn’t understand positioning on either side of the ball. Hasn’t learned some of most basic fundamentals of basketball. He gets completely lost on the court at times. You can’t get a more raw prospect. If the spurs draft him you would hope that they have a development plan. I would be shocked if he played more than garbage time for the Spurs next season. I’m sure he would spend alot of time in Austin. Possibly even be a draft and stash.

Hopefully teams tell them to off.

[mo7888]

Hopefully teams tell them to off.

To get top 5 would mean moving JJ and Dyson I'd think and would preced a Trae trade.

[Seventyniner]

Hopefully teams tell them to off.

I would be just fine with the Hawks stripping their depth to get a #5 pick that isn't likely to produce a ton of wins as a rookie/sop re.

Sounds like an exaggerated version of the Charles Bassey experience (though Charles had a much longer history of organized basketball)

Are we still sure about drafting Maluach? RC_Drunkford

[Dejounte]

I bet the two “workout meetings” with the Spurs was just the org doing a classy move of helping Khaman figure out how to navigate his deportation concerns

[Mugen]

Forgot about the immigration status. F'n insane that that should be a very real factor to consider but here we are tbh.

[Spurs Brazil]

Vecenie update his Top 100 prospects list and put Beringer at 13

It would not surprise me if Trump does with the spurs and deported khaman out of spite because of all of pop’s past comments towards him. We’ve seen him take action against harvard, governors, senators, and everyone who opposes him.

[rascal]

Good chance Ace Bailey will be drafted by Phil and traded to Brooklyn on draft night

Brooklyn is going to want to jump ahead of Wash and with 4 picks have enough to offer a package for Bailey

[LeBowen]

We need to hire Thibs as an assistant so he can keep yelling ICE on every screen.

[Mr. Body]

All you have to do is send Trump a million dollars and he'll change the law for you.

Adam Finkelstein from CBS sports is reporting that Victor Wembanyama no longer wants to play the 5 and has told the Franchise. He believes the Spurs are aggressively trying to trade up for Khaman Maluach or another big. If they get wiped out they could target a wing like Cedric Coward or trade back.

Sorry to all those who thought that we would get another shooter in the lineup when this report makes it obvious that theyre not prioritizing that in the front court. They want a bruiser in the middle and Wemby is our shooting 4. Something many have opposed for a while. Sucks doesnt it DAF86

Let me figure out how to post YouTube lol

spurs intel at 17:44 into video

[SpursFan86]

er went to China and came back thinking he’s a PG

[scottspurs]

Unless this is a massive smokescreen the Spurs are drafting a big at 14. When your franchise player says he wants to play the 4 you play him as a 4. They could also draft a wing and look for a big in free agency but that would clearly be option B

[scott]

Found these implied odds based on betting action to be quite interesting

[SpursFan86]

Tbh it doesn’t sound like Wemby to say he “doesn’t want to play center”. I think he doesn’t want to be limited by position regardless of which position label he has. He doesn’t want to be put into any sort of box, but that’s different than him saying “hey I don’t want to be the main interior presence on our team”. The latter type of statement just doesn’t sound like him but who knows. Either way it’s certainly interesting.

[scottspurs]

At the end of the video Finkelstein says the 2nd workout for Khaman Maluach was very unusual and that Malauch’s agent would not have granted permission unless they believed the Spurs had a chance of getting him. Maybe the Spurs have a potential deal in place. He strongly believes the Spurs will acquire a Center to please Wemby. I agree if true

[scott]

Chaz Lanier seems to be who every mock gives us at 38, but I've seen nothing to connect him to the Spurs. Fwiw
