The Spurs have a team full of below the rim players.
Let's not add another.
I can say the same thing about you. You have no ap ude visually.

In all honesty when I started focusing on him, he was projected to go in the 20s, and we were projected to pick 7 or 8... I was hoping we'd luck into the lottery AND ALSO pick him with a late first rounder. But the way events unfolded, I began to accept we were not likely to pick top 4 and he would be long gone by the Toronto pick, so given this Spurs' roster makeup, I think Sochan makes A LOT of sense. If we could get Ivey or Banchero, yes, go for the star player. Buf if not... I'm not convinced any other player is a better long term prospect for the Spurs than he is. If we land Sochan AND Jalen Williams AND/OR Blake Wesley... man that would be sick.
Maybe his hair will be green on draft day.
What is he a Rodman wannabe.
It doesn't make a lot of sense with the current makeup of the team.
You going to give the ball to Sochan when you need a big shot at the end of the game? The Spurs need to address that need on the roster during this draft and using that 9 pick to move up is the best move or if they get lucky and someone unexpectedly falls like Shapre, Mathurin or Murray or even Johnny Davis the Spurs should draft one of those guys before Sochan. You can get defense and positional need at 20 and 25.

This guy has not been on my radar at all. But man, I’m intrigued. His passing skills are on another level. Haven’t been this impressed by passing since Ricky Rubio. This guy might shoot up my board.
Holy . This Alondes guy is FUN to watch. Playground baller. Does wacky ass with the ball.
going back and forth with rascal
You guys show up here yesterday or something?
I just think you have tunnel vision.
IMO, drafting Alondes would:
-signal they’re not content with Tre’s production
-be in the same line of their past recent selections of guys who have high processing speeds: Vassell, Primo
-bring that nostalgia back to the days we had an exciting passer (Ginobili). Would make Spurs games must-watch TV tbh
obviously havent done a deep dive and hes bound to have really bad weaknesses elsewhere but the high level passing skill almost makes it easy to overlook everything else and hopefully he develops just good enough in other areas
Where the you been mate. Blast from the past.

This guy's build reminds me of a small Carmelo Anthony, in his early years. He's sneaky explosive. His explosiveness doesn't match his body, it's odd at times and definitely catches defenders sleeping. His passing is intriguing. For a pass first group like the spurs, they don't have any above average passers. Someone like a Manu guiding the flow would do wonders for all these athletics kids running around. They sorely need an elite passer to open up their play making. This guy would be fun to plug in and see run with the young guys.
From what I seen, his shooting needs a bit of work though and that would complicate things. He's already 23, but shows he has plenty to add to his game still. He was a one hit wonder after transferring out.
Definitely intriguing combo guard. Very similar to what we have but until one becomes a superstar, there's no reason to pass on potential just because you got someone else. One of those late first might be in play.
Alondes looks like the prototypical Spurs project -- a nice amount of promise and a broken jump shot.
bro, more than one post can convey
I'm still around I just lurk more now. I go to the political forum dungeon and watch the show there a few times a week. Try to keep up with the Spurs as much as I can but I work a lot now.
Ive been thinking for weeks that the spurs would use one of their picks on a PG/Combo guard. They love themselves some guards, I’m not against it tbh losing DWhite put a lot okay making pressure on DJ
Two guys I haven’t seen or heard a peep about in the last few weeks, Jean Montero and Ismael Kamagate

He’s a tremendous scorer. Obviously, there’s been a lot of talk about his stock dropping in the days leading up to the draft, but I’m not sure that ought be the case.
Someone who struggles to get past his man with the ball and hangs out at the 3 pt line most of the time isn’t a “tremendous scorer”. AJ is a shooter, not a scorer.
The great Leonard Miller has pulled out of the draft.
As expected after doing my deep dive on him and throwing him into my lowest tier (tier 6)
i called it, motha as!
Love the self-patting in the back for made-up victories in your headwho the does that?
Hey Siri, how do you know when you’re living rent free in someone’s head?
This rollercoaster has been funny. Before I went down this draft rabbit hole, this was the guy I wanted and assumed he be gone by our pick. Now he might be there after all.
Lol. That first post has the potential to be the post that keeps on giving.
