Classic spurs way!! drafting international players
Atlanta getting #1 pick would make those FRP’s not as good, compared to if they stayed at top 10 tbh. If Sarr pans out, he’s a big target for Trae and makes Hawks better. Plus the emergence of Jalen Johnson as mobile big. Those unprotected FRP’s may not be lottery picks tbh. Yup that’s the worst thing Hawks getting top pick.
Classic spurs way!! drafting international players
C'mon you know them weighted balls were rigged for us
Scoot was HYPED more, but if you paid attention,he couldn’t shoot, and in a league with virtually no shot blockers, he couldn’t finish. There are a group of posters here who didn’t buy the hype, and weren’t at all surprised with his struggles. His 0-3 foot FG% this year was a putrid 50%.
Doesn’t matter. They already have an elite lob threat, who they’re now going to have to offload, and they finished in the lottery. They don’t suck because Trae has no one to lob to.
Wow I actually agree with you on some Trae Young related.
Sarr won’t positively impact winning this season no matter who drafts him.
Doesnt that create an issue with featuring Sengun? I guess they can afford getting a solid player.
Do t want that 25 yo late development whiteboy. Rather have Salaun
Sarr would at least improve ATL's defense though as Capela has fallen off a cliff there
If Atlanta takes Sarr, in the immediate term they're essentially just getting a younger Capela. Sarr may have potential to develop into more, but it won't be in year or probably even in year 2. I'm not too worried about the immediate impact on the 25 pick until Atlanta makes other moves to improve.
I don't really think anyone in this draft class can have a big enough impact to make a difference in Atl's season next year.
Hopefully Dillingham or Risacher at 4 no Sheppard please
Atlants should take Sarr, and rebuild, but they dont have picks, so they may not take him at all.
Topic and Risacher let’s goooo
They dont need to rebuild.. getting sarr and kaeeping trae would be the beat case scenario for them
My guess is they still offload one of Trae or Dejounte and try and rebuild with the other + Sarr.
You mean "no development." It would be WYSIWYG. I have to squint to see Salaun's making it as well, but I wouldn't really have a problem with the pick either. I have to adjust my perceptions for what these picks can get this time around.
yep but just imagine how much smarter it would be to trade Trae for the big elite guy they need (and more) and replace him by a younger and maybe better and CHEAPER version?
I might just be jinxing subconsiously but I think Dilli could be the best talent of this draft (recently saw a clip of him eating the Thomson brothers a year ago, he's 2y younger!)
The Draft Combine and individual workouts will be huge. I’m hoping Spurs scouts will do their diligence. No more Josh Primo, Samanic, and Joe Dirt (already forgot his name) all performed well at the Combine and falling short.
The exact reason that this is a good draft to get a high pick, and still be positioned to pick high next year.
Risacher and Topic could very well be Spurs picks. Wemby/Topic/Risacher international players like the Big 3
We already got Wemby. These picks are icing!
I was thinking the same thing as most of these picks are going to be in G League for the majority of there first year so no impact on current teams. I am pretty sure that next year lotto will be very similar to this one barring the Atlanta crazily getting the first pick...
Pretty great result for us. As said, I wasn't enamored with the top 3 picks. Getting the TOR pick is nice gravy. We need the help and there will be a good player there.
ATL - I'm not too bothered by them getting Sarr (maybe). If anything, the pick may make them think they can stay pat, which will just keep them bad. Still think they need to get rid of Murray.
HOU - This is the bad one. They have so much talent. A strong center like Clingan or a good shooter will work to round them off.
Who is the basketball prospect version of Penix Jr? Buy that bro a ticket to Atl rn.
