One thing for sure: The Spurs overvalue the combine, so whoever kills it there is likely high on their list. We also drafted someone who killed it in the nike hoop summit before
Yeah, but you live in LaLa Land most of the time so...
Big grain of salt when it comes to you.

This draft is hard to gauge tbh like if we were to take Jeremy Sochan with the 9th pick, is he really that much better then Nikola Jovic or Patrick Baldwin Jr could be with the 20th pick? The same goes with a lot of the prospects from the 8-20 range lol like is Jalen Duren worth the difference in pick range from a guy like Ismael Kamagate
I've got him behind PBJ and ahead of Jovic on my board...as for Duran I think he's quite a bit higher than kamagate..
How many times do you think you need to post this for it to become reality? Would you say you are 25% there? 50%?
It's not likely to be reality. Spurs shy away from athleticism.
Sochan bbiq is worth #9 from what I saw. Jd Davison 1st round is my sleeper…..
I just don't see the value in selecting Sochan that high.
The Spurs will get into the top four.
Just not sure which of the top four picks they'll get.
Agree, not high on Sochan.
Spurs need better offensive players with that pick unless they unload Poeltl in a trade for 13, then the Spurs should take Duren at 9.
Oh yeah! I remember Bol Bol in a crazy suit thinking he was going to be picked in the first round. He even walked out with other players who were in the lottery. Someone should’ve told him or his agent.
What spot would you feel right taking him?
I think he will go 12 to 18 range
Lol yeah Lonnie Walker is a real stiff
If so, we must take him at 9 unless we can make a trade down to secure more assets….
Funny looking but I can assure you, this guy sucks.My new favorite 2nd Round draft prospect. We have to draft this guy on hair and ‘stache alone tbh.
I believe Keldon Johnson fell to them at 29. IIRC RC gave an interview where he said, they had him mocked much higher than he went, and that they were unable to work him out because Keldon also expected to go higher and didn’t work out for them. He was one of those guys they were lucky to have fall to them. Someone correct me if my memory is wrong.
I've got him tier 4 and #16 overall...so that would put him in the 14th to 17th pick range... I think he can be a good player but his upside isn't high enough for a #9 pick..

Edit to add: this was before Miller and a couple other players declared for the draft. I haven't watched enough video on Miller to include him yet. I'm sure there will be changes after the official measurements and interviews too.
All this talk of these players and Spurs will pick that one player Noone is talking about, come on guys we all know this dance.
He'll spend more time on his hair than his game.
Walker wasn't an unknown. Keldon wasn't an unknown. Vassell wasn't an unknown. Even Sammich and White had pre-draft buzz.
Literally the only out of the blue FRP selection in the last 4-5 drafts was Primo.
You're dead on with all of that. I said here on draft night that I would have been happy with Keldon as the Spurs first pick. I was shocked that he made it down to their second FRP, and I'm pretty sure they were too. Lucky is almost an understatement.
He's not a first option kind of player, though. So I guess the question is whether the Spurs could get that same kind of lucky, having a first option or at least strong second option guy fall to them at 9? If not (and I know I'm like a broken record) they almost have to draft for position. And, like Keldon, toughness.
White was pretty close, especially at that point in the draft. I still remember all of the articles trying to break down why the Spurs chose him. But the other three were definitely well-covered and on a lot of boards.
Yeah. If you want a player, getting fancy for a few spots is going to kill you.
You are right on target. If I recall correctly he didn't workout for anyone drafting below 15. He really expected to go in the lottery and he hindsight he should have. There was a rumor at the time that the Suns mistook Cameron Johnson for Keldon Johnson and drafted the wrong guy. There was great surprise that Cameron Johnson went that high.
