Dejounte and Keldon need to “sprain” an ankle after Pop gets that record.
Check out the Spurs' schedule. They play the Blazers three times and some other softies.

This…..only way we getting better pick is if the ping pong balls give us another solid
It’ll happen. 1987, 1997 and 2022 is a nice 10/10/25 year brackets factored set.
I think the Lakers will be resting LeBron quite a bit their last 17 games. I think that they realize they are most likely locked into the #9 seed. They are 4 1/2 back of the Clippers for the 8th seed and the Clips have the tie-breaker as of now. They look at the teams below them and SA is probably the scariest, so in other words they are not worried. I think they figure if they are healthy and rested that they will beat the 10 seed and maybe play the Clippers for the last play in game. There is virtually no chance that they can overtake Denver for the 6th seed so rest now to maximize your chances in the play in tourney.
Jeremy Sochan and Kendall Brown playing on ESPN right now as Baylor takes on OU in the Big 12 quarterfinals. Considering the Spurs are likely to pick between 7-10, both of these guys are realistic targets.
Big 10 Tourney second round tonight. Ohio State plays Penn State at 8:00 Central. Ohio is banged up, which means that they will need Malaki Branham to step up. If he does, he'll move up on more boards. This is when breakouts happen... or don't. Penn State is a good defensive team. If he gets shut down, he's probably going to have a tough time going in the first round and I think he'll come back for a soph season. Good chance to watch him play.
Yep players draft status are going to go up and down in March Madness - will be fun to watch
Sochan and Kendall Brown both choking down the stretch. Brown cheeses a wide open layup that would’ve cut the lead to 4, and Sochan gives up and and-1 layup to put OU up by 6. Sochan has struggled to guard pretty much everyone he switched on to tonight.
AJ Griffin did basically nothing for Duke.
Keegan Murray had a great game in Iowa’s win.
Brown and Sochan for Baylor were both very underwhelming from the half I watched.
I don't get the hype for AJ Griffin. He can barely dribble and he's incredibly slow on defense. Is it because he plays for Duke? I get that he has an exceptional shot so far, but he's often getting ranked top of Tier 2 in many lists. He may be unplayable as a starter.
My draft so far:
First:
1. Keegan Murray - PF
2. Tari Eason - PF/SF
Second First:
1. Walker Kessler - C
2. Mark Williams - C
3. Nikola Jovic - SF/PF
Third First:
1. Jean Montero - PG
2.Christian Braun - SG
3.Blake Wesley - SG
*Patrick Baldwin Jr
Second Round:
1. Hugo Besson - PG
2. Matteo Spagnolo - PG/SG
3. Jaime Jaquez Jr. = SG/SF
4. Gabriele Procida - SG/SF
* Patrick Baldwin - man it sucks for him he has been out since February 9th with a ankle injury and his dad the coach was fired from the team that has to be weird.
Northwestern was a really weak opponent. Iowa's season SOS was a lot weaker this year, compared to last. Still, I may have underestimated him. He shot a LOT more 3's than I thought he would, and he kept his 3P% higher than I expected. I just don't see how the Spurs could take anyone who isn't a 3P threat. Especially if they have a new coach whose ideas are part of the discussion.
If Murray has a game like that against Rutgers, it's a different story. The mocks are going to start talking about him in the 5 or 4 slot in this draft. I don't think anyone will rank him as high as Banchero in mock drafts, but the Spurs would definitely have to get a ping pong ball to reach him. There's still a lot of basketball to be played, but he's definitely on an uptick.
He really is screwed. Went to a second rate school to play for dad. He gets injured, dad gets fired. Where does he go from here? This isn't a good year for him to declare, but it isn't a good situation to come back to next year.
He will be an NBA player, I don't have any doubt about that. Unless this injury is wors than they're saying, he could wind up being a late first (or possibly even early second round) bargain. He might need a year in Austin to make up for what he missed out on this year, but that's nothing new for the Spurs anyway.
I would throw the Spurs third first-round pick at him. IF they get three. But I don't think the Rap's pick is going to convey. I might still with the Celt's pick, depending on what the board looks like. The Spurs aren't going to get a star that deep, and I really do think that Baldwin will be seen as a draft bargain in a couple of years.
If Spurs land between 8-10 in the draft as most of us expect, Keegan Murray will likely be long gone. He’s played himself into a top-7 draft pick imo. Only thing I could see dropping him is his age but I don’t see any scenario where he falls below the 8th pick at the latest.
That age thing will get him to drop a little, unless he kills it in the Tournament. I think the hype for Griffin keeps him going too high and teams will bite on a guy like Sharpe without seeing him play college (or at all). I think he'll be the type who drops and everyone shakes their head in retrospect.
Of course and 8-10 would be a terrible spot given the lack of forwards/consensus period in that range.
This is one time where, if they want him or whoever outside of probably the top 4 badly enough, they have the ammunition to manipulate the draft board.
KMurray would be the perfect roll man for DJ. DJ is getting more and more creative with his passes inside.
KMurray also makes quick decisions when scoring with the ball. DJ likes to push the pace and KMurray doesn’t look like he would slow that down like most bigs.
Dyson looks like the perfect pick with our later FRPs. Plays point and big enough to guard wings.
Took you long enough, but finally.
I think he's going to rise up the board and be right on the cusp of the lottery. I like him...he's a little like a 'less confident' Cade Cunningham to me right now...
Branham had a so-so game last night. I didn't know it before the game, but he was playing with an ankle injury. That whole team is beaten up. Ohio state only had 6 players score, and one of those was a single 3-pointer. They just got run down late in the second half.
I still like a lot of what I see from him - especially his court vision and passing ability in addition to the long ball. If he declares, he would still be on my short list for the Celt's pick.
I think they should try really hard to win so they will move up in the lottery.................................
Most mocks have Dyson Daniels going in the later lottery now sadly.
