It wasn’t just the college season. He had some behavioral/at ude issues, as well.
Haven't seen Tristan da Silva mentioned on this board at all, I think he's going to be the steal of the draft. Great shooter, good defender, not that fast and poor handles, but those can be somewhat covered up by schemes. Would much rather take a flier on him than Bustzelis or god forbid Salaun
That was the perception but may not have been the reality.
Raf. Barlowe recently did a deep dive into this. Worth a read.
Oh maybe Risarcher will be there at 4!
Eric Zhang lol
Didn’t see this posted yet but sorry if it has. Latest CBS mock which seems pretty realistic to me:

Houston takes Castle 3
Spurs take Topic 4
Spurs take Carter 8
Sarr, Risacher, and Castle going 1, 2, and 3 would be the absolute worst case scenario for us.
I’m not sure that article debunked the at ude issues. I am absolutely sure that he landed in the exact wrong spot for an immature kid. Ja is no role model.
I don’t think so. Sheppard at #4 is totally fine with me, and then just take the best wing available at #8. Would argue that’s even preferable but I sort of go back and forth between Castle/Sheppard.
Could prob still give the Spurs 15 minutes a night tbh.
Dope! Love Manu
Barlowe says some dumb stuff sometimes. He also likes 'baller' types beyond reason. Jackson has already been suspended by Memphis. He didn't just have one or two red flags, he had tons of them, including calling out his coach on Instagram. His teammates despised him at SC because he didn't think they existed. SC became far, far better after he left. It's a small miracle he played well for a post-injuries Grizzlies. Maybe he keeps it up. But, anyway, claiming that teams shouldn't evaluate these things in prospects is beyond stupid.
It is a growing belief around ST Eric Zhang is Kevin Tran's cousin.
Good job by Mul roll.
Trentyn Flowers, who had been one of the NBA draft’s best-kept secrets, is scheduled to work out for the Sixers on June 20, according to sources.
The 6-foot-7 swingman has already worked out for the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Milwaukee Bucks, Sacramento Kings, the Houston Rockets (Wednesday), and San Antonio Spurs (today). In addition to the Sixers, he has workouts scheduled with the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Charlotte Hornets, Utah Jazz, Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics.
Flowers can come in the league as a three-and-D player and has a 42-inch vertical. He has impressed NBA teams during workouts after being relatively unknown after averaging just 5.2 points in 18 appearances this past season for the Adelaide 36ers of Australia’s National Basketball League. His coming-out party was at the NBA combine in Chicago, where he tested as the most athletic and youngest wing in the draft. The 205-pounder, who graduated high school in three years, turned 19 on March 8.
The Sixers have the No. 16 and 41 picks in the NBA draft on June 26 and 27.

Now if you're looking for the next Primo, here's your guy.
Beware of workout wonders. If you’ve followed the NFL for a minute, you’re probably aware of the name Mike Mamula. He absolutely CRUSHED the combine in virtually every facet of speed and strength. The Eagles drafted him, and what do you know: he couldn’t ing play football to save his life, he could just run fast, jump high, and lift a lot of weight.
Combines in any sport should just be one data point among many. I’d like the candidate to actually be able to play the sport well, first, THEN drool over any outlier athletic abilities.
Great breakdown from this video on the projected top 10 bigs/forwards.
In this scenario you take Sheppard at 4 and either of the ignite kids at 8
He is going to be good I think he land around 17 to 24 in this draft and I have to say this draft is actually pretty good from 12 to 24 as far as talent
Second most realistic scenario, behind Reed Sheppard to Houston, TBH.
It would be interesting for Spurs to acquire a later 1st round pick if Edey or Clingan are still available only to fill out the 2nd unit with a traditional big man. Wouldn't go out of the way to do it but 18 to late first round pick doesn't seem like a bad grab with all the future seconds spurs have.
Not interested in having either in the starting lineup. But first beig man off the bench to spell Wemby some rest and still have that inside presence. Might work.
Could still look at other options in the draft and free agency and undrafted options all else fails
