2022 Draft A Success!!!!

[RC_Drunkford]

Duren was my man too but Spurs could hardly have done better with what they were proposed.

Very excited by Wesley. Don't think they were expecting to be able to pick him and Branham.

No idea if he was the pick if available; but yeah, happy we escaped Dieng... Stiil can't see what some see there but good for him if he proves me wrong.

TimVP said it was a smokescreen. Probably one of the best ever by the Spurs. They will have to do this a lot since teams usually snatch our picks right before us

It took me awhile to see the light. The Spurs just got themselves some serious ballers. As Timvp was writing, each player had little expectations coming in as freshmen. But as the year progressed they got serious loads and prepped to be 1st options next year. Seriously, all 3 would be top picks next year.

Sochan - He’s going to be great. Defensivey, he’s like a Gorilla tape plugging all leaks. He helps the point of attack, he helps hide Keldon and allow him to be 3 and d (if slides in SF), he helps Poeltl stay with his man. PLUS, this guy is a Point Forward. That is actually the more exciting thing. So Han has a frame to put another 25 muscle. This will be a bulldozer at Point Forward, Barley-esque bully in the paint.

Brahnam - This kid is a 3 d offensive player. The Spurs we’re looking for a go to scorer? Enters Malaki. He knows to manufacture score, and not shy about it. This kid would be a top pick next year the way he haunts baskets. Bradley Beal?

Wesley - Still raw but already dominated the workout. Wish we got 4 to pick Ivey (actually 5). Well this kid has Ivey-esque athleticism. This kid puts it together, we got Ja 3.0

Plus Barlow a backup C for free (and extra 2nd pick to boost). Hall is another point forward. Spurs just added height and athleticism.

We got the picks that Spurs needs. Go-to scorer, defensive PF, defensive upside at guard with both measuring 6’10 wingspan, backup center. BW got his shopping list and brought back the goods! I’m stoked

Spurs did the best they could for getting stuck with the 9th pick.

It's too bad they couldn't make a draft day trade to move up as their biggent need, a go to dynamic scorer is still not met.


That was a tough draft spot missing out on the top 7 players.

Dieng wasn't picked before the Spurs.

I knew the Spurs weren't interested in Dieng, that Sochan was the target if the top 7 were off the board as expeted.

Couldn't watch the draft live and for some reason, I thougt he was picked 8. Well, happy he's not the pick anyway.

I’m actually surprised it’s not Sochan as the primary target but Mathurin and Keegan. Not only because Sochan is the best overall best defensive player of this draft and he potentially fixes every facet of Spurs defensive weaknesses, help on point of attack, help to hide Keldon if he slips to SF, help on Poeltl staying with his man, the ability to switch on all 5 positions, PLUS Sochan has better upsides than those two as potential Point Forward. I have no doubt Sochan will be top 3 when they redraft 10 years from now. We have a potential modern day Point Forward bully on Sochan once he develops NBA body and put 25 lbs of muscles on that frame.

Those others have higher offensive upsides. Defense is boring.

We got 4 good kids all 19 years old and I agree they each help with some of our current weaknesses:

Sochan - Will instantly become the leader on the defensive side telling people where to be and getting guys amped up to play D
Malaki - Is our go to scorer the guy is not shy and has a beautiful mid game and is super confident
Blake - Was surprised to hear that he practiced against Ivey, he has a lot of his traits and he with the right coaching could be special
Barlow - Another 19 year old is pretty fluid long ass arms and has the desire to get better and has shown that

On top of Sochan’s defensive elite, I’m even more excited on the potential of him being a Point Forward. I don’t doubt Pop would develop and use him as another facilitator ala Bobo. And possibly a potential bully in the paint.

add Primo and that's a 5 man line up of 19 year olds

PG: Wesley
SG: Branham
SF: Primo
PF: Sochan
C: Barlow

Not a bad lineup with reps and experience could be a very good and balance line up.
