This was posted today, and Dieng specifically says he's in NYC for the draft... so I'm guessing the rumor about him being in San Antonio isn't true.
He's Luka Samanic but somehow worse.

Dieng wouldn’t be a bad pick. Adding weight to his frame and he’s a young 19.
Because that's BS. I don't think Dieng will be the pick. "Versatily" in doing everything in a mediocre way.
Still think Dieng is the pick but he IS NOT in town. That part was debunked…thank goodness. But not out of the woods imo unfortunately. I’m bracing for Dieng but hoping its a big ol smoke screen
Correct - my bad. The part about him being in town was a rumor and it’s not true.

If we move Murray go ahead and move jak as well....try and come out of the draft with Ivey, Duren, Dieng, and Procida and call it a day...
I still would not want Dieng at 9 but if they blow it up and have a bunch of picks I understand it more at least.
People in France are kinda cir spect about Dieng's hype. He's not considered like a top propsect there. Nothing vs. the kid but I really hope he's not the pick. I think scouts project to more stuff in him that he got. We'll see, maybe I'm wrong.
Only one minute to edit our posts now... Better check twice our spelling and syntax.
It's only a five hour flight to New York.
Who posted he was in San Antonio and when was he supposed to be there? yesterday? Probably not true but it is only a five hour flight to New York so he could have left yesterday evening.
In that scenario he'd be at 13 with a pick from the Jak trade...Duren would be 9..
I bet if the spurs had a top 3 pick, they’d pick Chet. That has spurs all over it. Lol. I had been thinking about this forever now.

Remember the 20 or so years when the draft was (usually) just an afterthought to a Spurs' season? Those were good days.
Now it's the highlight of the year.
I think Dieng is pure smoke screen... When was the last time, everyone was so sure Spurs would pick a player? And when the last time they did?
I think we have no idea what they wanna do.
Sad but true. It's like being the Kings....
Jesus that's depressing
Unfortunately, that pretty much sums it up.
All the passion of a post-season that never was (as Linda Ronstadt might say) shoehorned into a bingo game and a runway walk.
being like the kings is having no banners anywhere, zero trips to the finals and always being in the lottery.
So true. About another 10 years of this so get used to it tbh.
Skinnier, slower, non explosive Luka with long Bertans Bird Legs. At least Luka was more of a bum slayer, Dieng was the bum for almost the entire season.
That's why dynasties are so legendary, most teams go decades of this draft day .
I must say, after a wild run of champs, the past season of tank development and this draft focus has been kinda fun and refreshing.
Obvs want the down seasons to eventually amount to something successful but running youth and watching them develop is awesome. I've never studied 60 college athletes this closely either, the draft was an interesting study.
Spurs haven't done this stuff in a while so it's been a new twist for a change. Would be so cool to watch it all boil down just to rise up to a new ring and le from scratch again.
