    i like bryant quite a bit. there is the odd mock every now and again that has him going late lotto, ive seen him go top 10 once in a blue as well.

    and his defensive versatility, and his shooting/physicality on offense makes him a very piece to use in a teambuilding perspective. like, as much as we love castle, he is somewhat restrictive on teambuilding. we constantly have to remind ourselves "we cant play player x next to castle" (so far). theres none of that with guys like Bryant, or as you said, Risacher. and they're much more than just shooters like a McNeeley (not that theres no use for that).

    bryant does look more pro ready than Fleming. with Fleming you are just getting the additional elements of rebounding and rim protection, the ability to play both forward spots (potentially) and some small 5. they're different prospects, but i like both. i would not be mad with a draft where we took both.
    same here. I view Bryant more as an SF and Fleming as a PF

    hopefully the Hawks move up to 1, the Kings 12, and the Mavs 14

    strong disagree. you arent always generating standstill catch and shoot looks. maybe in the corner, sure. from otherwise you are often sliding and positioning yourself based on where the ballhandler is. being able to have off-ball action will not only free up a shooter but also provides a diversion to the defense giving your stars more leeway to do their thing without the entire defense focused on them.

    movement shooting is what can really unlock offenses. its what MPJ provides for Denver. its why Cam Johnson has been coveted. its what made both Klay and Steph special. Korver. etc. no im not saying im expecting Tre to be as good a shooter as those greats, but its a very different element for an offense than standstill shooting. it creates more chaos for defenders which also gives you even easier closeouts to beat.
    You're arguing with a guy who would pick Kon 3rd overall.

    Depends on where you want to pick one.

    With their own pick the Spurs could pick Derik Queen, Khaman Maluach or perhaps Thomas Sorber.

    With the Hawks pick Sorber or reach for Yaxel Lendeborg, Johni Broome, Danny Wolf. Maybe Joan Beringer.

    In the 2nd round plenty of options from Beringer, Ryan Kalkbrenner, Vladislav Goldin, Rocco Zikarsky, Maxime Raynaud, Alex Condon, Hansen Yang. Also Bogoljub Markovic but he needs to put on some serious weight and strength in order to play center in the NBA. Johann Grunloh is an undersized draft and stash.

    Hey rascal, why don’t you go yourself and stop worrying about what players other people like or don’t like. Maybe contribute something more to the forum than just saying a player isn’t good because they’re white.

    I don't get why Carter Bryant didn't get more run with Arizona. Signaling from coaches that he couldn't be trusted to do more than he did, when lots of freshmen were doing much more. I'm not out on him but it's big question marks.
    did they just try to get a second season out of him? Arizona scored big in the recruiting class 2025 with Peat and Burries, maybe they think that 2026 will be their window and a returning Bryant could be a key piece? (If this explanation makes sense at all)

    But I think he will get to much interest from some teams. He will kill it in the work outs and on top of that he seems to be a bright and eloquent kid. he will do great in the interviews. I think he will get at least a mid 1st round promise and stay in the draft.

    Right now I like Derik Queen and Collin Murray Boyles, think they provide some physicality that we really need.

    Oh god, this is a great draft. I really don’t think there’s any way for front office to it up.

    I really like Bryant and think he’s worth a reach. But he’s the kind of player that will inevitably blow up during workouts and we will hear suddenly that Nets and Toronto will take him if he’s available at 6 or 7.

    Looking at our roster, besides a backup center, what we really need is more shooting and more bball IQ. So any players we can get that would fit that would be helpful. For an out of box drafting, I really wouldn’t mind kK & the Wolf. Would be nice to have player with some actual brains instead of the empty chambers of guys like Keldon and Blake.

    On Bryant, you’re right there are always players that seem to come out of nowhere and get levered up to the lottery.

    Bilal (WAS) and Williams (OKC) immediately come to mind. Arguable Tijuan last year too.

    Will it be Bryant this year? Sorber?

    Bryant could make bank in combine scrimmage if he shows more on ball juice than his role in college. The international players tend to rise late when the top decision makers make their way to europe and their teams have more incentive to feature the prospects for the buyout money.

    I think if Bryant measures well,and has good combine numbers, he’ll climb. If you check his game logs on his TaT profile, he performed very well in both his conference and NCAA tournament games. In six total post season games, he shot 10-22 from 3, and had 8 steals and 7 blocks.

    .
    I mean I think so, but I can tell some of you guys have watched these players a lot more than me. There could be others. But damn he passes the eyeball test!

    His athleticism seems really special. He's the perfect wing size. And he can actually shoot. Should we dare to even dream that our front office would draft such a mythical beast?

    I’m kind of su ious about his shooting, since his volume is relatively low 2.8/game and his FT% is 69.5, but if it holds up, he could be really good.

    Small point, Jay Williams didn't come out of nowhere. He was pretty widely known as having a great season after transferring. He was considered top 10 material for a while, but dropped due to his age. Coulibaly did come out of nowhere, coattailing a bit off playing with Wembanyama (deservedly so, if maybe going too high), and Salaun kind of got shine off being French after the Wemby boom, so definitely for him. He had no business being in mid-lottery discussion.

    Watched Naz Reid yesterday. Keep imaging if we draft a better version, how lethal will Spurs be. Fleming is longer and more athletic than Naz Reid. His 3 point shot has a high chance of translating.

    Longer is a measurement of wingspan, which we won’t have until the combine.

    Naz Reid was awesome yesterday. Would really like to get him if the price is right and something can be worked out, but if not, someone in the draft that has the potential to be the same/better would be great for this team.

    I do like Danny Wolf. Think he fits well with Sochan and Wemby. He is older and ready to play now. High IQ and mobile. But the defense of this roster is worrisome. I hear the young Noa Essengue is 6’10” with a high motor and all around game. Defense is his calling card. He’s miles better than Salaun who went early lottery. With these 2 the Spurs can become a team that can outrun, outsmart, and outhustle these playoff teams. Oh and the team would no longer be small.

    Carter Bryant looks more NBA ready than Fleming and also fits the 3-and-D wing type we are looking for. He reminds me of Risacher
    Bryant is a 3/4, while Fleming is a 4/5. Fleming seems to be a more sure thing shooting wise, but also, he's 2 years older. Gun to the head, I would take Bryant over Fleming, but I would be fine with picking either one, maybe even both.

    Essengue is another player on this mold, but with much more question marks regarding his shooting.

    My dream draft after top 2.

    #8 Queen - bruiser big to help Wemby with rebounding and checking physical bigs
    #15 Fleming - True PF with defensive upside and ability to hit the 3. Insurance for Sochan
    #38 Boogie Fland - exciting backup PG, elite handles and multi-dimensional scorer, averages 5 assists
    Lost me at "bruiser big" as our #1 pick, tbh.

    Totally agree with Dejounte! Tre is more value than Kon for most other teams, but not Spurs.
    What makes Knueppel more valuable for the Spurs than Tre Johnson?
