Holland, Williams, Knecht for me
My order of preference there would be Williams, then Knecht, then Holland.
Holland, Williams, Knecht for me
samesies
then salaun
Minus the glorious mullet. I was thinking Kiki Vandeweghe
The team needs secondary scoring. 3 point shooting. Someone to help make the droughts less and less.
Knecht helps with that off the bench. He 100% helps raise the floor of the team.
Knecht is muh safety pick because I want Dilly at #4.
I would trade down to get Holmes or Da Silva before drafting Salaun.
https://x.com/SpursReporter/status/1798741739018015179 "Hearing that the #Spurs- in an effort to accelerate their timeline- are reportedly very interested in bringing in 23 year old Dalton Knecht with one of their two top picks. As I explained in last night’s NBA Radio Hoops Talk Space hosted by @KDotTKL, there seems to have been a temperature change in regards to drafting a point guard at all since there are persistent trade rumors and because none of the point guards available appear to be NBA-ready. Knecht is seen as “day one ready.” Will follow up with more later".Is this a reliable source ?
Interesting.... meltdown in 3...2...1...
Spurs have 20M in cap space to accomplish that “win now” goal. So that report doesnt make too much sense to me logically.
Spurs don't leak this kind of stuff historically. But they probably like to plant stories? Who knows.
There’s also the Wemby’s-camp-leaking-to-apply-pressure-on-PATFO element.
I mean I think what happens sometimes is there are tons of sceneries discussed. Teams have plans for multiple scenarios. So its not that it’s necessarily a strong source vs just hearing “oh, this was discussed as an avenue” then gets reported etc..
They can do both things...
Sure - but seems very silly to not draft BPA with your pick and instead focus on who can help “win now” when you have 20M in cap space to address winning now. Of course, it *can* happen but it doesnt make very much sense to pass on best player/talent in the draft for someone who may be a bit more ready to help a team win 25-35 games.
That assumes Knecht isn't BPA when they pick. If it's at 4 I don't think he's BPA, but at 8, it's possible depending on who falls.
I have a hard time reconciling “he grades out as a second-round player” with “he’ll be BPA at 8 and the Spurs will take him.”
I think there’s pressure on the Spurs from Wemby’s camp not to sit on their hands and wait 2-3 years for player development before making the playoffs, but I don’t think that translates into drafting Dalton Knecht.
I don't put a lot of stock in how he grades out and I have no idea whether the Spurs draft him or not, but he is one of the more nba ready guys in this draft and I have him 7 on my board which isn't alot different than most mocks out there.
Melting down over here, lol
He'd be awesome to draft at 8 and ship to CLE in a Garland deal! Fits their timeline nicely!
Castle at 4, and Knecht at 8 makes sense.
If so, at least that's better than VW pushing Salaun. Ha!
Buzelis at 4, Knecht at 8. Two athletic, promising yet melanin-deprived players. An upside swing. A player who can help now who hasn't plateaued yet. Seems reasonable to me. I assume, of course , most would hate this.
I'm torn on Knecht, only because he fills the exact same role Vassell does and I bet Vassell does it quite a bit better. Maybe as a bench player he'd be good, but then what about Keldon? Is he really better than Keldon?
Why is this draft so ed up?
His ability to shoot 3 ball should make him more useful in many ways, but better is questionable. Like Julian spaces the floor better which is why he starts, but hes not better than Keldon
Thats fine - but the premise of the rumor/tweet was implied that BPA is not the goal, but getting win now players. So that sort of implies that they would be eschewing BPA in favor of more ready older draft candidates. But ya, hes in that range anyways due to weakness of drafts so it’s not egregious in terms of reaching or anything in terms of projected draft range.
