He’s practically Steph Curry compared to some of these other top prospects.
No they are different hence why some people think his 3 ball can improve as he was decent in High School

thanks....I was just in the area and thought I'd stop by....
I understand the point but in our current situation I have to disagree with your conclusions... First thing is that Edey looks a lot more mobile, reactive and athletic than
Boban and also if he's not that agile and fast, his offensive skills compared to Capela 's ones are of another planet. As is his career before coming to the nba. Second point is that you're not considering Edey a passing skills... Once he's doubled (and most of the time he's doubled) he's able to pass in a timely way to any shooters around... So the equation 2 points for three
points is, Imho, not that accurate... I agree that his size and weight make him a sure target but frankly if there is one thing that the ncaa game share with nba game is the quickness and athleticism of the players involved and for Edey it worked more than well till the maximum ncaa level...that said, you also have to consider the personnel he's supposed to work with once he is drafted... The looks of Wemby, Vassell and Sochan as help defenders are, Imho, perfect for covering all the potential switching Edey is gonna command... Having someone else to complete the "switching squad" ( like for example, our
ex player Murray at point guard) should be enough to compensate the limited defensive weakness caused by
Edey's excess of size and weight...
hope rishasher can snap out of it.
No, it's a couple feet shorter.
I think he's worth a shot. Definitely at 33 if we draft there but I feel like Memphis is a type of team to grab him earlier somehow. Or more likely, some other team takes him in the late first round. I don't see us using SRPs and our #33 to move into the late first round. But who knows?
He's going to be drafted in the first round.
I can say this that Edey definitely improved his lotttery selection with his play against one of the best defensive teams in college- He looked really good scoring 40 points and 16 rebounds - he moved pretty good for a guy his size. The other thing I like him vs Clingan is that he played heavy minutes and his conditioning looked really good.
Reminded me of alpineballer, a good poster at SpursReport.com back in the day. Any chance that was you?
I'd put him in the "draft & stash" wish list for the Lakers' pick, alongside Diadet and Ajinca. I'd have other priorities for the Spurs own top 2nd rounder, though (Ajay Mitc , Kolek, or someone that falls there)
what about carrington,Think he said hes entering draft
I don't think the Spurs will draft and keep 4 rookies, probably 2/3 at most. If the Toronto pick conveys and they use it, they either trade one of the 2 2nd rounders or use it in a draft and stash. Carrington could be an option for one of the 2nd rounders, but he looks like a longer term project, and honestly in the 2nd round I'm leaning more towards guys a bit older and further along, the kind of guys that you can tell in 1 or 2 years if they're keepers or you can safely move on. Worst case scenario right now is having to invest 4 years in a 19 y.o. non elite project, with a high chance he's a deep bench player at best (we already have Branham, Wesley, Cissoko and Barlow for that). Where the Spurs stand right now, I think rotating through prospects faster would be a more useful approach, so unless they really LOVE a given prospect (not ruling out that could be the case with Carrington), I'd pass on 18 year olds in the 2nd round
Would be hilarious of the FO viewed him as a Josh Primo do-over. PG prospect who's super young, has good positional size, can't get to the rim, has a decent jump shot, and isn't really good at anything.
Curious as to who are your favorite 2nd round prospects, SpursBills
Looking at the DNPs and lineups down the line, it's obvious EVERYBODY in our range is tanking: Washington, Charlotte, Portland. With 6 games to go, this is the outline:
#) TEAM (WINS)
1) Detroit (13)
2) Washington (15)
3) Spurs (18)
3) Charlotte (18)
5) Portland (20)
6) Toronto (23)
7) Memphis (25)
8) Utah (29)
8) Brooklyn (29)
10) Atlanta (35)
11) Chicago (36)
12) Houston (38)
13) Golden State (41)
14) Lakers (43)
So I think it's pretty much set in stone:
Detroit: 1. Hope they continue to lose so that they can end the season 2 games from Washington and go all out their last game vs Spurs.
Washington: 2
Charlotte: 3. I don't think they win another game, they intent is clear if you look at today's lineups and playing time
Spurs: 3-5.
Portland: 4-5. Will probably lose everything, so it'll come down to what we do.
Toronto: 6. TOTY for sure
Memphis: 7
Utah: 8-9, likely 8
Brooklyn: 8-9, likely 9
Atlanta: 10-11, likely 11
Chicago: 10-11, likely 10
All in all, I think we'll win one more game to stay below Charlotte but Pop tanks the rest and keeps us above Portland, ending up 4th. Not the end of the world
A lot of my favorite second round guys may have played themselves into the first round. But in general, I'm a fan of the way Memphis drafts with heavy emphasis on a well-rounded statistical profile. With that said -
Collin Murray-Boyles: Might have played himself into the first round, but on Tankathon he's still a deep second rounder. Great productivity, super young age, great defense and surprisingly good passing chops indicating pretty good basketball sense. His fatal flaw is that he has zero jump shot, but I look to him to have a similar impact as Brandon Clarke in the future.
Nique Clifford: Very well rounded profile. Good defensive metrics, decent shooter, rebounder, passer. Relatively older and might be undersized for the wing, but he passed the eye test for me in the tournament. Currently not listed on Tankathon's top 60, but could develop into a pretty good utility wing.
I actually don't mind taking a swing on Carrington either if he drops to the second round, he's a far better bet at that spot than Primo was in the lottery
The only game I can see us winning, maybe, is Detroit, the last game. Everyone else is fighting for position, or stupid like Memphis.
Toronto started all of this by plummeting from 8 or 9 earlier to 6, after Jak and Scotty went down. The teams higher in the draft order don’t want to lose their spot, so they all tank hard, too. That Charlotte/Portland game tonight must have been embarrassing to watch, with a score right from 1993, both teams in the 80s.
I know he hasn't played in forever but I just keep coming back to Topic as being the pick. I could see Castle making a good run if shows out in pre-draft workouts. But i think they're committed to having size at the PG position and Topic just checks off so many boxes (young, rim pressure, Euro, shooting potential, etc.).
Remaining schedule:
@ NOLA
vs Philly
@ Memphis
@ OKC
vs Denver
vs Detroit
Funny enough, I'm confident we lose that closing game against Detroit, they likely have no. 1 secured by then and will try to finish the season on a positive note, while we're fighting for position and may rest EVERYONE (especially Wemby). It's Memphis I'm worried about, and maybe NOLA / Philly. I think one more win takes us out of 3rd place, and 2 more may have us tied for 4th with Portland.
Can't say I'm familiar with either of them, but someone is bound to fall, they always do.
Non shooters scare me a bit, but at the second round if you're sold on the rest of his game then it's not a deal breaker I guess. Anything of value you can get out of a 2nd round pick is already a win.
I'm just looking for value with my 2nd rd pick. I'd pick whichever of these falls and is there..
Bobi Klintman
Kyshawn George
Tyrese Proctor
Pacome Dadiet
Trevon Brazile
Kevin McCullar
Juan Nunez
Tyler Kolek
Tristan Da Silva
Good list. Still hoping for Ajay Mitc though.
Man that dunk attempt was embarrassing..
