    Spurs with none of these guys …

    noteworthy that all these are ball handlers who can create their own shots and for teammates…

    I definitely like the Spurs recent focus on defensive upside and hustle but let’s get a scorer or two … this list doesn’t even include rookies like Halliburton and Lamelo or guys buried in awful tanking teams like Shai who also have that potential. And not everyone may pan out who fits that type, but they have to gamble on some scoring potential.

    It's like ESPN has a league directive to over the Spurs any chance they get.

    It’s actually like the Spurs have never had a pick in the range to get any of these guys, except Brooks, and they got bounced in the first round, anyway.

    I’m still drinking the kool aid. So much upside for the modern NBA game.

    10 days until the lottery... I think I'm actually more excited for this off season than I was for the regular season.

    Well, when talking about a young player in the second round with upside, you’re looking for flashes, otherwise he’d be profiled for earlier in the draft, right? But for him: defensive versatility and shot making are what I see great glimpses of in him. Sort of a modern 4. Mobile, great lateral movement, huge wingspan, strong defensive performances already. At least one game with big offensive production. He looks to have a scoring mentality.

    I like Mann, but I’m starting to like Duarte more. I’ve got a feeling he’s bigger than listed, and combine that with those skills he already has, he could turn out to be quite the player. Only if they’re able to get another pick in the first round, of course.

    Lists Klay & Kobe as players he models his game after.

    Not unexpected but think this will cost Giddey as far as draft stock is concerned.

    IMHO, he could very well slip into the 20s now.

    If Giddey performs well in Vegas, I don't think his absence from the combine will be significant. And I'd be surprised if he dropped into the 20s.

    Yeah. It's usually not a sign of weakness to skip the combine. In fact, it's kind of the opposite.

    That should scratch him as a prospect.

    The question though is how much will he be playing in these exhibitions?
    Like most National teams (and even our own Spurs), they tend to favour seniority.
    The Aussie team is one our deepest yet and he may only get sporadic minutes to showcase his game.

    The combine wouldn’t be a great place for Giddey from the athletic measurement point of view but think he would ace the interviews, intangible aspect of it.

    If you start lumping prospects together on your board and are looking for any ‘criteria’ for separation; does a lack of accessibility and up to date information sway your choice? I think it would have to, at least to some extent.

    I really like Giddey. He reminds me of Joe Ingles, Ben Simmon, Luka Doncic. He can pass as good as Luka and Ben. He’s plays no D lol but has high iq. Luka plays no D as well. He just needs to shoot and attack with confidence similar to Lamelo. How he fits on this team idk but he is a talent

    he'll definitely get scouted in Vegas:

    Plus, I think it says something that Giddey is on such a loaded Aussie team, being that he is just 18.
