I would pick Shaeden Sharpe over Amen or Ausar Thompson.
If we were somehow able to take last year’s class and enter them into a redraft with this year’s class, where do you think they’d rank? My guess is something like this:
1. Wemby
2. Banchero
3. Chet
4. Mathurin
5. Ivey
6. Scoot
7. Murray
8. Miller
9. Jabari Smith
10. ?!?!?!?!
Last year was a really good draft. This year seems to kind of blow, much like Mr. Body has been saying for a few months.
I would pick Shaeden Sharpe over Amen or Ausar Thompson.
Sochan has to be in that top 10.
No he doesn't.
You only watch boxscore and highlights.
Your opinion doesn't count.
Out of the top 10 picks in this years draft, there will be at least 3 really good players, future stars or all stars (Wemby in one of those for sure), the other two I'm not sure. We know they were good where they played, but that doesn't always translate to being a good NBA level player.
What we also know is that there will be a few duds, even in the top 10. Every draft has them. We will get at least a top seven pick, so I'm hoping the spurs don't reach as they did with Primo, or select a complete dud that's out of the league in a few years. Even if we just select a role player, anyone who can help the spurs move forward is Ok with me, so long as they don't select a dud.
Depends. Do yo go with what we know now, or strictly by pre-draft?
If we use only pre-draft info, Jabari Smith would be much higher, he was no. 1 in many people's boards, nobody would have taken Mathurin, Ivey or Murray over him.
If we use our knowledge from the past year, Sochan and Sharpe should be in there, and I'd take Murray out altogether, and drop Mathurin and Ivey a few spots. Also Chet's risk factor is too big for me to take him at 3.
If your not taking Chet at 3 because of Risk factor then you definitely not taking Wemb. at 1 for the same reason.
It's just potential upside in the player. If the player hits their max potential.
Wemby is a generational player, Chet not. And wemby hasn't had any type of injury like Chet in 2 years as a pro and none serious this year.
Last years class now or last years class before the draft? Your list Is apparently that class after their rookie year.
My apologies I wasn’t more clear. Last year’s class knowing what you know now in with this year’s class.
Gotcha... based on known performance in their rookie years, I go..
1. Wemby
2. Banchero
3. Scoot
4. Chet
5. Mathurin
6. Ivey
7. Murray
8. Miller
9. Cam
10. Walker
Is Wemby fractured? Does he try to block everything his way and get thrown around like a rag doll? I remember watching Chet play in the NCAA and calling a very cloudy future for him with his frame and playing style right here. He's like that crazy chihuahua barking at every pit bull, until one chews him up and spits him out. He needs to work on his self awareness.
I def have Sochan over (at least) Cam and Walker.
Why isn't jalen Williams in there
I wouldn't based on how I view their upside.
Because I don't think he's worth as much as those..
JW was such an outlier for OKC. He was 21, unlike most of their picks over the last few years, but also much further along his developmental curve. That also means there’s less development left, though.
I wonder if Williams is the Chris Duarte of this draft class. A guy with immediate impact that opponents figure out. He's a bit younger though.
Duarte was 24 as a rookie and never as good or well rounded. Jalen Williams is going to be better than him, but with that said he's not going to end up anywhere near where he is being put right now (top 3 in this class).
Chet is made out of glass. He falls over like a rag doll.
Wemby is much stronger and more durable. That was a bad pick by OK City and they will eventually regret it.
Holy shiiiiet. Just two nights left
54 hours to go. Dawning on me that the last two years dreaming of VW as a Spur will likely dissolve into trading back for Gradey and another year of losing. Oy. Lighting all the candles for that #1 Tuesday night.
It was always a 14% chance to get the top pick. It's pie in the sky, not going to happen.
Getting a good player and future draft capital is probably best case scenario, realistically, but still unlikely.
