Not to belabor this, but I will anyway . . .
The value in this draft may not be 2-7.
Those spots are very weak this year. I don't really want those picks (6 or 7 would be okay). You're getting very flawed players, a few of them outright mystery boxes, and you're paying a high rookie scale for them. If we don't get the top pick, I'm with those who hope teams will fall in love with the athletes and want to swap with us.
Keyonte George is very likely to fall to the late lottery. I've said numerous times I wouldn't take him with a top 5 pick (undersized guards that are not 2 way or efficient are not really my type) but he's got a lot of talent, I'd take him in a heartbeat in the late lottery if he's available or we can trade into it.
There's a raft of guards that I like, and I'm preferring guards it seems this year. George, Bufkin, Black, Hawkins, even Nick Smith. I like what NYK had going with a dynamic multiple guard attack. Anyway, it seems like there's more value at those picks. If the FO likes Whitmore or Amen or whatever, then fine. But I'd just rather get a player I feel isn't that far off, costs less, and would bring another asset or two.
You wanna call it being a dolt, that’s your business. I looked at the very specific segment you mentioned and they did not make it out to be an amazing unique play. They just said it’s an example of him using ball fakes to free up another pass. I’m not talking about the video in its entirety. Your post mentioned one particular play/segment and that’s what I’m commenting on
Yeah, and you said this:
1. You didn't watch the video
That's like reading page 345 of War and Peace and ing that it's not about war or peace.
Move on.
Watched the highlight video, and granted I am not an NBA Scout or even a SpursTalk.com Scout, but I fail to see this supreme athleticism that is so highly touted. Just looks like the guy in a pickup game who is clearly better than everyone else, but still wouldn’t be confused with a professional basketball player.
Just watching the preview, not even cliking on the vid, you see kids on defense. How can anyone decently use these OTE games to judge the guy? There's no point, I would look like MJ out there.
Workouts will decide a lot for them but they're not crap either just because they played in a poor league
The finals of the OTE were against a good team, maybe the only one and they had some good games.
The placement of the passes look great and some of them do show good vision. It's host kids and often they're completely out of place. Just don't know how you evaluate that. And he's been wasting two years on this, unfortunately.
You have to wonder if the Thompson were not twins would they be generating this much hype? I just don’t see it and if you draft either if them they definitely will NOT be ready for the big team they scream G League project. I guess if the Spurs think they can transform them fairly quickly then it might be worth it on the flip side drafting either one will definitely increase our 2024 tanking
