One of the youngest players in the draft. Strong, tough. Averaged great numbers in college.
He was seeing double teams in college
The FO seems to think they will get a contributor no matter how it plays out. I wonder who they think is the real deal and who is not. There definitely seems to be plenty of length in this draft. You got tall point guards and agile centers now. The landscape is changing in this new Era of Basketball.
This is a pretty ty draft. Folks need to adjust their expectations. I for once would be thriller with finally getting the 3 and D guy we have been missing ever since Kawhi and Green left.
Vassell has a 6'11" wingspan, tbh. And the expectations is that he gains muscle mass like 90% of the guys that get into the NBA.
Bruh that's only 1" more than Keldon's wingspan
SloMo, DJ, Metu all failed to gain muscle mass
It's all wishful thinking
For much of the length disadvantage you whine on Keldon about, Vassell is the exact same thing. It doesnt make sense... Again, your whole basis on this lacks any time spent on watching the dude. If you watch the 1 hr and 30 minute video, you'll see he doesnt have much success vs lanky players that you'd see in the NBA

Because they only draw for the top 4 picks. After that, the teams are slotted in reverse record order. We can be 1-4, or 11-14.
I would rather take Wiseman and keep it moving, but I see where you're coming from.
hopefully Silver will do us a solid and gift Spurs a top 4 pick like they did the Lakers last year
I really hope so too.
Posted this last year... Including prospects I like:
pg = runs plays
sg = shooter/ secondary playmaker
sf = offball movement shooter
pf = post play/ guards weakside
c= defensive anchor/ rim protector
combo guards (pg/sg...runs plays + shooter/secondary playmaker):
--Dejounte
--Derrick White
--Quinndary
strict sg...shooter/ secondary playmaker:
--Mills
--Forbes
wings (sg/sf...shooter/ secondary playmaker + offball movement scorer):
--DeMar
--Johnson
--Lonnie
--Beli
++Deni Avdija
big forward (sf/pf...offball movement shooter + post play/ guards weakside)
--Gay
--Trey Lyles
--Samanic
++Precious Achiuwa
++Reggie Perry
++Jalen Smith
++Patrick Williams
++Paul Reed
++Tyler Bey
++Obi Toppin
combo big (pf/c...post play/ guards weakside + defensive anchor/rim protector)
--Aldridge
--Metu
++Daniel Oturu
++Onyeka Okongwu
++Isaiah Stewart
strict center (defensive anchor/ rim protector)
--Poetl
--Eubanks
--Tyler Zeller
++Xavier Tillman
++Zeke Nnaji
Good break down.Not sure Metu is a combo big but otherwise pretty much agree.
This post can be distilled somewhat:
Alternative version:
I'm calling it now. The Spurs will win the third pick in the lottery and draft Obi Toppin. ...............................
I agree with winning the 3rd pick, but I say we get James Wiseman.
Obi Toppin is not the way to go. Liability on defense. One dimensional offensive player, though can occasionally hit the 3. Ceiling is capped. Will he ever be as good as Aldridge? Probably not. Pass.
Imo they will go with avdija if they have the 3 Or Wiseman if he's there.
I had a dream that we got to draft Avdija we’ll see on Monday if that dream comes true.
If by a miracle we get #1 overall, is Anthony Edwards a no-brainer for us?
Thursday August 20th
Avdija if the Spurs get into the top 4!!!
I wonder who the spurs send to represent the team for the lottery selection? Our horrible new GM? The Coyote? Maybe they ask Nephew because this is all his doing anyway? The admiral?
possibilities are endless, exciting times. Also, when is the actual draft supposed to take place?
no. Watch him in an interview and find out why.
Wiseman would probably be the favorite (if so, hard to argue).
Kinda actually have a feeling it’ll be D-Rob. He was at the draft when Lonnie was selected
It's scheduled for October 16.
