I've thought of the Hornets, but they can probably just select Edgecombe at 4, a similar archetype to Castle.
Miller doesn't seem like the Spurs type and Harper would only make sense for the Hornets if they plan to trade Ball.
Unprotected '26 1st for teams like the Hornets who aren't under pressure to win and will probably have a reasonable chance at #1 just doesn't make much sense, especially in conjunction with another significant asset.
It's a "we're comfortable with what we have, overpay or GTFO" kind of deal. Yeah, Brandon Miller doesn't have the prototypical background Spurs target (understatement of the year) but he's a better talent than given credit for, if available I'd take my chances. One for one it's not worth the Spurs trouble. Your ball, Charlotte (and I don't mean Lamelo)
Very interested in Bogoljub Markovic's pre-draft stuff... because I'd love to add someone named Bogoljub to the roster. "My friends call me Jub"
My immature mind went straight to Demolition man, “What seems to be your boggle?” scene
Is Essengue this year’s Salaun?
Player comp
a lot of interesting similarities
Essengue is way more polished and pro ready than Salaun
One micro thought I'm having is about how the Spurs will approach this drift regarding number of rookies.
On the one hand, with a 1st year coach, they might want to have a stronger vet presence and limit rookies to 1 or maybe 2.
On the other hand, and growing in possibility in my fevered brain, is the idea that having the team grow together might be a great decision this season. If building a future juggernaut, I think there might be value in learning to win together. OKC has followed this route to great success. If they like this class and see 3 players that might fit the long-term outlook, this could be a great time to do that.
Either way, this should tip the FO's hand as to the shape of their vision.
Combine Numbers are rolling in:
Noah Penda: 6’7’ 1/4 barefoot, 242 lbs, 6’11 1/2 wingspan, 8’10 1/2 standing reach
Bogoljub Markovic:
6’10 1/2 barefoot, 213.2 lbs, 6’11 1/2 wingspan, 9’2 standing reach
Mouhamed Faye:
6’9 barefoot, 222.7 lbs, 7’4 1/4 wingspan, 9’1 1/2 standing reach
wow
Essengue is a much better prospect than Salaun. i bag on Essengue here in an over-the-top manner mostly to pick at my guy Mugen
i just dont think we can afford to draft yet another buttershot when we are already going to be taking Harper, and have a rotation that already includes several questionable deep shooters in Fox, Castle, Sochan, Johnson, Wesley
Nolan Traore:
6’3 barefoot, 175 lbs, 6’8 wingspan
Nolan Traore:
6’3 barefoot, 175 lbs, 6’8 wingspan
Lucky for our friendship that Essengue is going at the top half of the lottery tbh
That standing reach on Jub tho...
What's more important between standing reach and wing span? Which guys in the NBA have impressive numbers in those stats?
Come on bro... you know what a human body looks like, right? You can figure this one out.
Drew a picture for you
He wasn't asking WHAT they were, he was asking which you thought was more important of the two.Drew a picture for you
Which do you think?
They are related to each other
That pic could be an honorary entry in the MS Paint thread.
