    Off topic, so you think Giannis is not capable of winning a ring. LeBron didn’t have outside shot until recently. His 3 rings, he didn’t have consistent outside shot. I admit he needed a Wade, Kyrie (I think was the Finals MVP) and Davis. But that’s what probably Giannis is missing. Middleton is not Kyrie, Wade or Davis.
    Giannis won't win a ring not because he's not good enough, but because he won't abase himself like LeBron and Durant did by forming or forcing superteams.

    Because Demar and Jakob are the odd-men and keeping the Spurs from playing modern NBA ball. I hope they address that this off season at the FA and draft.
    I understand not liking Jakob, but twisting reality to on him is a bit over the top. Tell me, do the Jazz play "modern NBA ball"? It's perfectly fine to dislike him, or say you'd want a stretch 5 instead of Poeltl, but to act like he's on the same level of archaism as DeRozan is laughable, tbh.

    That said, I wouldn't even build a roster with two starting C-sized bigs today, even if both could shoot. The Mavs' use of Boban and Zingis on their recent series was as close as you can get to that, and it wasn't very pretty (but was effective at making the Clips adjust their game to Boban's presence). Can Garuba replace Poeltl, would be the better question, I haven't watched him enough to know. But I wouldn't be opposed to drafting a C in this draft if they project as both defensive-minded and shooting potential (though they'd have to have some serious question marks for such a coveted archetype to fall to #12... ehhh).

    the idea of a stretch three is hit and miss. brooks lopez helped the bucks obliterate the heat but he's hurting the bucks in this series against the nets.

    That would be great, I don't see the elite defensive potential. He could be good, but, not that great. I see more Mike Dunleavy, Jr. in Wagner.
    He seems like such an obvious Spurs pick that I bet they don't pick him.

    And that was one player I'd always hoped would become a Spur.

    Same here. During his prime he was a great utility player to have on the roster

    Kirlenko was a better shooter, a better offensive player.

    Wager appears to be a much better defensive player.

    All in all, the comparison is enticing but not exactly on all fours.

    Each might be (or have been) a nice contributor for the Spurs (depending upon the alternatives).

    I like Dayron Sharpe. Athletic center that can hit the open 3, but Roy Williams didn't let him shoot it last season.

    Kirilenko had career percentages of 31% from three and an eFG% of 50.2%. Wagner, in two college seasons, shot 32.5% from three with an eFG% of 53.5%. Kirilenko was more of an assist guy, and a better shot blocker. I think the thing that makes the comparison a good one is both guys have that 5x5 potential, and both are relatively low usage rate % type of players who make their teams better as glue guys rather than #1 options.

    So is Kispert the 5th option for most people? It’s sad he didn’t receive a single vote out of 103 people.

    He is probably the least exciting. Looks like he would be an NBA player that comes in and is a good shooter but I think the voters (at least myself) are looking for a more complete player or rolling the dice on a high ceiling guy. I went with Wagner only because he is a bit of a Swiss Army knife type.
