^ oh no he's playing to be a F in the NBA.
Definitely lined up several times for trey bombs last night vs UCLA. It's mandatory he ends up on an NBA team with other bigs to do the muscle work. At least one.
And that is exactly what he has on Gonzaga right now. It is working well.
Related, Zinger is looking much better on the Mavs.
totally agree about their frame, about their skills Holmgren is more polished, better IQ and a more complete player.
the big question is what position can he guard and his perimeter D. Other than that i think he can exist in the NBA, offcourse if he is not injury prone.
And don't forget that Bol Bol played only nine games with Oregon, we'll see if Holmgren can play all the season without being injured.( I'm not sure Holmgren had a lot of injuries during his youth)

Easy, I’d smoke him lol
my fault it seemed like you were.
Duke vs Gonzaga tonight. We're getting two potential Spurs in action tonight.
Getting absolutely rammed by Banchero lmao. Hope this bust stops getting head on this thread because of the color of his skin
Spurs ain’t getting a top-2 pick tbh. Too many ty teams right now and Spurs will improve as the season progresses. Much more likely we pick between 5-10 imo, especially if D. White starts playing like himself again.
No way to know with the flattened lottery odds. Many teams outside the top-4 have been jumping into it the last few drafts, and if the Spurs finish anywhere near a top-5 worst record, it wouldn't be a stretch at all.
I don't know about top-2, but the Spurs have a pretty good chance at a top 4 pick with the way the season is playing out so far.
It'll probably change but right now I think it's a top 4 player tier 1 draft with Banchero, Jabari, Chet, and Baldwin.
Layed a three point shooting egg vs Alabama, but still hung in there with 11 rebs and 4 blocks in only 22 minutes.
Chet looked good stroking 3s and had some nice drives to the rack.
Vs San Francisco.
He's coming to the NBA, just a matter of if the team that gets him already has a big or two to provide the muscle.
And / or if Chet can avoid getting cheapshotted cause you know that's coming.
Interesting news that apparently Shaedon Sharpe will be eligible for the 2022 draft. This will likely change things significantly, because he could go top 5 and push some other guys like Chet down. Dynamic, athletic scorers like him and Ivey might be more interesting for some teams than 4s like Smith, Banchero or Chet, who's more of a 5 anyway.
Thought I read somewhere that he was planning on returning to Kentucky next year no matter what. But if he does end up coming out for some reason, he’s definitely a top-5 pick imo. Kid is gonna be good at the next level.
I wish the Spurs could have some lottery luck for once and get Banchero.
Read that too but can't believe it honestly. He's pretty much a surefire top 5 pick, there's some chance he goes 1st too. Very few players have turned that chance down (Tim Duncan). He doesn't have much to gain from a season in college. It's a $30-40 mil contract on the table against the possibility to get injured or flame out like Emoni Bates, for example. He'd be smart to go pro immediately.
I would rather have Jabari Smith. I wouldn't touch those Duke players.
Robinson and Duncan not enough for you?
if the draft gods give us another lucky bounce I hope it’s in a better draft.
It seems like suddenly the early enrollment option is something that is very much on the minds of Canadian players. Sharpe was part of the Nike-affiliated UPlay Canada program, like Primo, RJ Barrett, & Shai Gilgeous-Alexander before him, and someone up there seems to have honed in on this loophole of graduating high school a year early to enroll in college and gain that one year advantage in being available for the draft.
Same. Smith >> Banchero imo. Defensively it’s not even close.
That was over 20 years ago
Yeah, if he's a top 5 pick (really even a top 10), he'd be silly not to go; another reason is that it puts him 1 year closer to finishing his rookie contract and getting into the real money.
You're right, but in the Spurs' last 5 lotteries have produced Primo (11th pick, only a small chance of jumping to top 4), Vassell (12th pick, also small chance of jumping), Duncan, Elliott, and Robinson.
That's insane luck, especially considering that the Spurs got the #1 pick in the perfect years (1987, 1997) to land an instant MVP candidate (Robinson) and a GOAT candidate (Duncan).
I guess I'm looking at this from a different angle than you.
True, I‘m looking at it from the NBA is rigging the lottery perspective like when they gave the Lakers the 4th pick so they could get AD. All these other teams except the Pacers have been tanking for years. Time to reward the Spurs
Facts!!
