Totes understand the reasoning.
Makes sense.
And, for the record: I wouldn't trade the roster for Ja.
Wait... maybe I would.
Crap.
Gonna have to noodle on this.
It's players like these that make me want to TANK all the way.....![]()

I am all in on Ivey, don't give a about position, height or whatever. Others have made good comparisons, he reminds me of Donovan Mitc as well. By draft time his stock is going to moon compared to what it is right now imo.
Yup. There’s no big 3 at the top. Ivey is your big 1. He sits on a tier of his own. He oozes unquestionable s om. The Spurs will have to get lucky and draft first to get him though. Banchero is a nice consolation prize for me. After that, the Spurs will do what the Spurs does and hopefully find someone with star talent wherever they pick.
Lol, that's what I'm telling you. This isn't the franchise you're looking for.
Lol, the same franchise you were so adamant would never let go of Patty. You’re telling me for sure.
When the did I say that? Lol, like theyd be playing him until he was 95 ing years old.
Who i like for our late picks:
Max Christie - looks like this years Primo, young high feel versatile shooting with some rim protection.
Dyson Daniels - stat stuffer with what looks like NBA caliber defense. a spurs type project for sure at the PG spot.
Brown and Sochan - i like the idea of them but both are high risk projects.
I simply don’t watch enough college ball to offer anything to this conversation other than ask questions…
how is Jaden Ivy’s defense? The offensive highlights are very impressive.
How do you guys view a potential pairing of DJ and Ivy in the back court?
If they do keep both, I’m looking for a specialist with one and a high risk/high reward with the other (Lonnie/Luka)
I feel like Ivey is that guy. The dude looks fearless attacking the rim and just has a bunch of confidence in his game. That’s who I’m looking at right now. Though if past drafts are any indication, I am the tiest drafter
I switched to Kira Lewis over Halliburton last minute and Duarte over Primo
haha what is Walker a specialist at? Scoring? LOL
If we keep all 3 I’m definitely good with taking a flier on a high risk/reward guy. Going to be a very entertaining draft night for us regardless. ST servers going to explode!
I'm all for Keegab Murray, but is defenisve upside worries be a bit. We need a strong defensive minded that can guard the perimter, and I haven't seen that from Murray. The offensive game is their, I see a bit of Rudy Gay or Tobias harris in him.
I'm more worried about the hit rate of 22 years old in the lottery. Last good one was Noah in 07.
Annother guy that I'm starting to like is bennedict Mathurin, I think he has one of the safest floor in the draft while also having a good ceiling.
His floor is a 3/d guy do to his ability to guard and shoot the 3! (37% on 5 attempts)
His ceilign could be a high end start or All-star a few times in his career.
Him, murray, Sharpe,Davis,and Duren fit the 6-10 picks for me.
Relax man, he's a secondary playmaker with no pull up. He is in the mix but not on a tier of his own.
I’ve only watched one highlight reel of Ivey, and in that, he reminded me of…. Dejounte Murray.
He seems MUCH more aggressive at attacking the rim but doesn’t seem to do some of the other intangibles DJ did from day one, but again I have not watched much film and only a few games total.
DJ or Jak probably need to go down for an extended period for us to have a realistic shot if he is a legit top 5 pick.
Sochan is a really smart player his game reminds me a lot of Green from Golden State - He is pretty much the leader on defense he is always directing traffic telling people where to be - The only downside to Sochan is that he gives you nothing on shot blocking he is not an explosive athlete.
Brown is probably one of the most athletic player but he can't shoot if he could he would be a top four pick for sure
a DJ/Ivey back court would terrorize the NBA. The only thing that worries me about Ivey is his ugly shot release, but he still seems to hit a decent percentage of it
I feel like Ivey has a team like Houston written all over him. Some superior skills that will never get developed, some areas that are lacking, only passes when he's in trouble. If he goes to Orlando, say, they'll have a great transition offense but will struggle in the halfcourt.
No way his style of play would last long with the old Pop. In his swan song, lame duck Pop might embrace it and get something out of him immediately.
I've been saying this consistently, that he's not a Spurs' type player. I know people freak about that notion. Maybe things change drastically once Pop leaves, but there's a clear mold this franchise looks for.
I feel like Mathurin/ Murray, Dieng/ Baldwin, Agbaji/ Liddell/ Champagnie would be a good haul. You get an older productive play now player, a high upside prospect, and a proven player who has dominated statistically at the college level.
