I think he has a first round promise for some reason. I don't believe in the G-League Ignite guys at all. A glorified hype team that wasn't taught about basketball and faced no compe ion of consequence. Basically a lost year for each of them.
Fer a is awful. He has his hand in a few SA tourist places, or at least did ten years ago. Awful, also. Goofy tourist traps.

2021 SA Draft Edition Cap
Solid if unspectacular.
In the second, he'd be a fine pickup. At that stage, the objective is to get a guy who has a chance to make the team, no matter what position. Isiah is young enough and good enough, that he could realistically turn into one of the top 20 guys in this draft; it'll just be 7 years from now...
What I was curious about with him is, I wonder if him being the 3rd banana hurt his stock some with Jalen green and Kuminga getting most of the attention. Like if he would have gone to a college and been the number 1 guy on the team would things be different.
He probably would have had to actually play basketball.
I think sengun is about the closest we get to having another Tim Duncanl, and that would be a miracle at 12. I am really hoping he slides to us but I'm 100% sure at least 1 other GM has taken the same Sengun drug I have.
Kid is gonna be special imo. best post fluidity since embiidl, with the potential to be really efficient from 3. incredible passer and potential to be a good rebounder.
and he's only 18. I'm calling it now, if sengun is there at 12, spurs win multiple le with him..
like I said, closest to Duncan we'll be fortunate enough to sniff for many more years.
here's to hoping his name is still off the board at 12. I fear okc, charlotte and gsw in that regard.
While I stop well short of thinking Sengun makes a contender -- wouldn't that be nice -- I am cemented in the belief that if he's there at #12 the Spurs need to grab and run. A lot of posters (elsewhere) are discounting him in the belief he cannot play defense in the modner NBA, and I think that's false. The question is whether GMs think he's one of the top talents in the draft and whether those GMs belong to OKC or Charlotte, or possibly Orlando or Golden State.
Ultimately I think Charlotte taps Kai Jones, the allure of transition basketball run by Ball. I'm pretty sure Presti would take Sengun, though. He's smart enough to see what is there.
Going to take a stab at what I think is going to happen in the first round.
Purely subjective (with some basis of league rumblings and team fit/need).

Wow, Springer where Sengun, Giddey, Jalen and Keon Johnson are available? Personally I’d pick Jalen, but I’m sure PATFO picks Sengun. If I have to choose between Springer and Keon, I’d pick Keon. He’s like Ja Morant where he seems to be able to pick his spots. Springer seems to be a hard working kid, but too high at 12 and I’d pick Duarte before him.
Great interview to get to know Duarte (the person) better
The podcast link, not the video by Anthony Slater
My “expectation” for the draft is the spurs will draft one of Giddey, Sengun, or Garuba at 12
My “wish” is that they would draft one of James Bouknight, Jalen Johnson, or Keon Johnson at 12
My “Spidey-senses” think they could draft one of Josh Primo, Trey Murphy, or Chris Duarte at 12
Naismith DPY’2021 and Jared team mate
Kai Jones just worked out for the Hornets per IG
I like that pick for them and hope they do take him.
Davion…Damn it. Good call. That’s embarrassing. Guess I’m the one having an off-night.
Jaden interview starts at 8:38. It’s like he’s got the ‘Spurs Draft playbook’.
I’d be fine with Sengun and Giddey but the Spurs seem invested in this current core.
Both of those players would be asked to play outside of themselves to fit within this team which I feel takes away from their greatest strengths respectively.
Maybe unfair but feel like there are too many character red flags with Jalen.
Keon seems like a good guy but his base skill set is further away from NBA contribution than Jadens.
"Johnson said he had already worked out with the Kings, Warriors, Charlotte Hornets and Oklahoma City Thunder. He said he had additional workouts scheduled with the Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic and San Antonio Spurs." Sacramento Bee
Keon Johnson will work out for the Spurs.
What?!?
Who is that?
Shane “The Hammer” Heal.
Along with Keon Johnson working out, Sac towns been busy…
y
please go to the Kings, Sengun
make Franz drop
Do other teams not try to hide their intentions, or is that only the Spurs? Or if we see a player heavily linked to a team can we assume it's not going to happen? From getting trained in how the Spurs operate, it's funny to try and figure out other teams way of doing things. I mean, I sort of assume other teams are doing their own gamesmanship. So it's more like, ok, who hasn't interviewed or worked out for the Spurs, and can we form a list from that? Sort of joking.
No Dejounte NO ! LOL
i will be fine with Wagner but if we can't take segun or giddey, i wish we could have moody.
