Spurs Seeking Fan Input on 14th Pick Between Bryant and Fleming

[John B]

The Spurs organization called me last night. They said, “Dejounte, we’ve narrowed down our choices to two players for the 14th pick. It’s between Carter Bryant and Rasheer Fleming. It’s a coin flip, so what we want you to do is create a poll on your forum, SpursTalk, and whoever wins that poll will be the player we select on draft night.”

I’d be okay with either pick, and a backup C at #38. Hopefully Reynaud falls all the way but I doubt it. Then I’d take a very safe pick Broome or Goldin for my backup C.

I bet nobody knows what college Fleming goes to without googling it.

I went to school in Philly, so I know all about St Joes. I would think of it long before San Diego State, for example. I legit don't know what school Bryant goes to.

[Duncan2177]

I would go with either Bryant or Sorber.

[John B]

Carter is the better athlete at 39’ vertical (2nd best), a comp of Trey Murphy or Trevor Ariza if he pans out. While Fleming can be either Eason or better Naz Reid, older but could be huge for our defense and rebounding. Fleming seems to have an edge since Spurs still have Champ who is very young and coming along.

[Dejounte]

Tightest race in SpursTalk history?

[RC_Drunkford]

Bryant has the higher ceiling, Fleming would be contributing sooner. I'm fine with both, but would draft Sorber before either one.

[RC_Drunkford]

I have never heard of Fleming before this thread . Did the guy ever face good compe ion? Bc in my 15 minute YouTube video it was him against ty private school teams.

Also I really want a role player with the 14th pick who will just shoot the corner 3 and play defense. I think that is Bryant since he was fine coming off the bench in Arizona he will be fine coming off the bench for us. And with Wemby, Fox, Harper, and Castle I don’t see a version of our 14th pick ever being a focal point on offense so I’m not worried about his lack of offensive moveset. Do they move well without the ball? Are they good at catch and shoot? And can they play solid defense? That’s all that matters to me. Bryant seemed quicker on his feet than Fleming so hypothetically he can guard guards better. We can always sign a bruiser big like Kornet to help out Wemby with the interior defense

19 points, 5 boards, 3 blocks against Villanova



16 points, 20 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks against the Longhorns. Flat out dominating on defense.

[BackHome]

Yeah, but look at his stats for the whole month of March Madness his shooting took a huge dive which is concerning. But they are both close though I don’t think either will see much time the first year barring a serious injury to a starter.

tbh Spurs will trade this pick to some other team for 2050 pick

[John B]

I guess having Champ makes Bryant’s development in 2-3 years okay. While Fleming could play backup on day one.

I don’t hate either pick. Sorber is still my choice at 14. While I see Reynaud has the French Connection and also a very high ceiling if he pans out. But I’d still be excited if it’s my boy Wolf.

I see this draft being very deep for role players (or even possibly AS steal) that the Spurs can replace some end of the roster players, Branham, Bassey. I’m for using all 3 picks, both to address some rebounding and post defense, while also taking over-the-fence swing. Having multiple future picks and swaps, I think they can afford the risk(s) to audition possible big swing/high rewards players and see who stick.

And 6 months later trade this 2050 pick for a disgruntled all-star? Sign me up for this tbh.

[Dverde]

I’d rather go with Fleming, the project with more size. I believe the Spurs are about to extend Sochan and Barnes. There won’t be many minutes so I would go with long term upside for the current roster construction.

[MarCowMar]

Can you ask them what is the best trade offer we have for the pick currently and add that as a third option?

[BatManu20]

Carter and I don't think it's particularly close tbh.

[CGD]

This Fleming talk is making me wonder what ever happened to Spurs legend James Gist.

Bryant is #7 on timvp's big board. Fleming isn't even ranked.

Punted for a 20132 FRP and SRP

timvp had Robert Dillingham as his #1. Cody Williams as his #4. Topic as his #6. Jaylen Wells was a runner up for ROY and he wasn’t on his list. Neither was Jared McCain. Some of y’all need to stop worshipping your idols, smh.

timvp has Hugo Gonzalez at 14th on the his big board.

Maybe it's time we recognize that timvp ain't putting forth much effort these days.

That was back when Dillingham was thought to be 176 lbs and not the Trae Young esque 164 he measured at the combine.

[Atl Spur]

I’d go Fleming.
