I think it is Zacch, Knecht, Castle ( non PG demand ) are the target with the higher pick. At 8 Cody and Salaun are the upside swing if they can't trade it for a future pick.
When you consider them within' the context of the rest of the post, they are.
Basically, the hope is what Castle essentially becomes what Carter already is. I'm not interested in waiting a few years to find out if, by the off chance, he can become a slightly better version of a similar archetype.
I'm not sold either in terms of versatility (pulls ups, side steps, step backs, floaters, etc.), but he seems well on his way to at least being a good enough spot up three-point shooter for the defense to not disregard, unlike Castle.
Castle is more likely to be able to "guard up" in terms of SF's/wings, but that's not nearly enough to offset everything else.

If Cligan and Knecth are eventually starting, it means something has gone horribly wrong with Wemby and Vassell. Hard pass, unless you’re telling me we are moving Vassell as part of another trade for a star PG or SF.
As LeBowen pointed out, Wemby and Clingan should not be playing next to each other.
Buzelis and Carter is intriguing. I really don't love anyone at 4 but I understand the upside swing. At 8 there are players who are older but have actually shown something, like Knecht and Carter, who are both athletic in one way or another.
the Spurs need everyone
we need a playmaker
shooters,
a back up big, rebounders, etc
we need everyone!
Sources say the San Antonio Spurs are high on Devin Carter, who just completed workouts with the Sacramento Kings and Chicago Bulls.

I think this may very well end up being the Spurs' draft. I really dont hate it.
Current 2024 Draft odds, courtesy of DraftKings
3rd Pick
Sheppard: +230
Clingan: +425
Castle: +6004th Pick
Topic: +260
Dilly: +370
Sheppard: +400
Castle: +450
I agree with Sheppard being the odds on fav at 3. But Topic being the fav at 4 for us is interesting, considering the recent info that has come to light.
sorry guys, just posting them latest videos
The recent info likely doesn’t change much at all. If you liked or hated him when his wingspan was thought to be 7 ft., you would still like or hate him, and his knee injury wasn’t on the order of Shaun Livingston. I think those are much more meaningful to high flying players. He’ll either rehab it, or recover from surgery, and go right back to leaping a phone book in a single bound.
I think my favorite result would be Castle and Carter, different enough that they should be able to play along side each other in multiple lineups. Both taking on the minutes from Branham/Wesley should improve the defense immensely. Target a project wing/forward in the second round and add a veteran one in FA.
Carter compares very similar to Wesley from a physical standpoint. and he is an even better athlete. But you don‘t draft a player with #8 to just take the minutes and role from Wesley, don‘t you.
I don‘t trust Carter‘s shooting, shot looks so damn awkward, otherwise I can see why Spurs would like him.
Luka, Ja and Amen Thompson are going to be such pain in the asses for many years to come just in our division.
Castle and Carter are my guys to have multiple perimeter defender options to try to slow them down for future playoff showdowns.
I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin'.
Jaylen went to college,a PAC 12 school. He was probably, you know, coached. Ron decided to around in open gym for a year.
Holland has his question marks (who in this class doesn’t?), but he’s the type of prospect who really has no business of falling out of the top 10 IMO…especially in a draft as weak as this one.
Holland or Dillingham at #8 would be best case scenario.
Agree. I prefer Holland + Reed, but would be thrilled with Holland + Dillingham (or Castle)
Sheppard/Holland is probably my “best case” realistic draft. If we end up getting Castle at 4 then I might lean Dillingham over Holland just because I really dislike the idea of leaving this draft without getting someone who can already shoot.
I would be overjoyed with any combination of the following players
Combo-Forward: Buzelis / Risasccher / Holland / Salaun
Guard: Carter / Castle / Dillingham
See if you can trade 4 for 7+14.
Picks 7 and 8 hope that you can get 2 of Reed, Dilly, Castle, Holland and with pick 14 get Carter or Bub
Since I doubt they want three 1sts in this draft, 4 for 7 and 14 only makes sense if a couple of different things align: 1) Their preferred option went at 3 or they think they can get whoever it is at 7 (Buzelis?) and 2) One of the three picks is being rerouted as a part of a package for Garland or whoever.
Do we have any clue who the Spurs have worked out so far?
Most of the players that you hear they workout are candidates for Austin. Any high level workouts are kept under wraps to prevent teams jumping in front to grab the players.
