Don’t think they worked out Keldon Johnson

I remember the story from the 2019 draft where the rookies themselves were asked who they thought would be the best player from their draft, and they voted for Cam Reddish. It's tough to scout players based one one year of college.

I could see Ty Ty dropping to 20 and the Spurs considering him. He has a decent jump shot at least. And probably slept on a little bit, and may have some of the "Kentucky factor" in his benefit.
Man, that's hard to believe. Reddish was trash at Duke. Shot less that .400 2P, .356 overall fg%, barely rebounded as a wing, 2.7 TOs and 1.9 ASTs. He killed the Blue Devils with selfish, boneheaded play and is probably the reason they tanked with a stacked team. I can only guess people remembered him in the AAU circuit or something.
This is the highlight of his NBA experience:
This was from one of those aggregator cites:
“Some people around the NBA believe the Thunder may look to package their No. 12 pick and a future pick or two to acquire a second top-10 selection, says Woo. Oklahoma City also controls the second overall pick.”
I think it also shows you what (literally) immature scouting looks like. If ask typical 19 year old basketball fans who's the best player at any given point in time, they're always going to gravitate towards certain types of razzle dazzle/street cred personalities. The number of people wearing Iverson jerseys always outnumbered those wearing Duncan or Ginobili jerseys, which is a pretty solid sign that you wouldn't want them scouting for your team.
We have 4 picks, and I just want ONE damn thing out of those 4: a defensive minded player who is six feet 8 inches or taller, though preferably not a center. An Eason or a Sochan would please me mightily. As for the rest of the picks, those are yall's. You can have what you want from the other three picks tbh. lol
Posted this in the Mock Draft thread last week. Figured I’d re-post here.
Nembhard would be such a Spursy pick. Good player at Zaga last season. He was their leader. High-character kid who loves ball.
I definitely have interest in Washington since he can play off-ball. I know nothing about Kennedy Chandler and he hasn't gotten much press, but his advanced stats are almost all better:

Washington has a touch more than three inches on him, so that makes sense. Also people are gaga for UK guards nowadays.
The sarcastic gal in me is thinking, well they were thinking based on his weight and style of play Zion's durability will be bad... and if that was a reason... they were right. He probably will not have the best career despite great talent because there have been a lot of issues with injuries and playing shape and these are likely to continue in his future if he's not more disciplined. Despite his talent, when I watched him play he seemed out of shape. Granted that was in the bubble 2 years ago... he maybe wasn't in the best playing shape then (I remember his minutes were managed)... but one can see why someone would doubt he would have a great career (which implies durability and a good strong peak). Reddish was overrated, but the next guy in there was Ja Morant. I think they have that one right (provided he avoids catastrophic injuries).They did select Zion as rookie of the year, and the next one in their vote was Morant.
In theory this is what Sexton would bring if they target him in FA right?
Pointless note about draft media and podcasters, youtubers, etc:
Coach Spins of The Box and One, who does what are probably the most shared YouTube video scouting reports, the ones with the red backgrounds like Nembhard on this page, has talked about how he had Mo Bamba ranked number 1 on his big board in 2018. Over Luka, Ayton, Trae etc etc.
If a guy who clearly watches a ton of film can screw up that badly, then who can be depended on? Posters here are probably no worse at projecting than media types
Sexton is an absolutely abyssmal defender.
It’s funny, because a group of scouts had him as one of the most likely busts.
After all the scenarios have played out, if we are going big I do hope the Spurs at least look at what Duren can do/be.
Hard to believe this kid is 18 tbh..

Wish they would show his mid range and 3 ball shooting.
He has a pro day on YouTube where he’s shooting 3s
Damn, because I thought I read that Ty Ty was 6'2" something without shoes, albeit with a decent wingspan. I don't know if I want anyone much shorter than that. Regardless, another thing I like about Ty Ty is that he's basically fat; I think he strolled in at almost 13% body fat. I say that because losing weight is one of the easiest things for a player to do (unless they're already playing at a MVP level like Joker or Luka, in which case they figure why bother). Improving his basic conditioning is easier than fixing a jump shot. He has decent skills. If he actually got in shape, there's decent potential for more improvement with his already existing skills.
So yeah, he or Hardy are intriguing at 20 if we didn't already draft a guard at 9.
That one video showed him shooting but didn't show if it went in or not. I thought to myself, "yeah, those are probably bricking off the front of the rim, probably best they don't show anything more." Ha. He's like my fifth or sixth choice at 9, but as much crap as I give him as a player for #9, I'd still take him over someone mocked in the second round.
