Thanks for writing this! Big night!

Get your popcorn ready. First time I’ve cared about a draft in a long time. For obvious reasons.

[Uriel]

FWIW, ESPN’s latest mock has Colby Jones going to the Spurs at 33, so that fits with how you have him so high on your big board at 19.

Site was acting wacky, I was under the impression they made a big trade or something that broke the site lol. As always, thanks for the writeup TIMVP!

Great minds

[ace3g]

Going to be interesting with their draft selections after Wemby and Free Agency will hopefully start to paint a picture of what type of offense they will run.

[rankingtear]

They are only 4 known workouts at our range, Brown, Jacquez, Bailey and Walsh.

Putting in the work

[CorrectCrusader]

I'm ready for the Spurs to be a dynasty again.

[Uriel]

Colby Jones also ranks fantastically well in Kevin Pelton’s model, ranking 23rd overall (despite being in the 30’s in most mock draft).

[rankingtear]

DEN probably snatches all KBD archetype before we pick.

[Degoat]

I've been a fan of Colby Jones from the beginning, he gives me some Derrick White vibes

[Uriel]

Although Dariq Whitehead ranks even higher in that model at 21. He’s the guy I’ll be rooting for for us to draft if he’s available at 33, along with Leonard Miller if he falls.

[Mr. Body]

I like the board. Makes sense. Interesting to see the shooters pop up only in the 20s. ( , Hawkins, Sensabaugh.) I love hearing that Walsh impressed. Even if they manage to get a second good pick, I'd take a flier on him for the new two-way. Absolutely.

[Seventyniner]

I don't know how you didn't make like 5 dog jokes in that last entry.

[SpursFan86]

Walsh with pick #44 on a two-way deal would be a dream scenario honestly.

Wembanyama + Cason Wallace + Walsh…make it happen!

I think it was Sheppard whose videos gave me Bryn Forbes flashbacks

[rascal]

Andre Jackson > Walsh

Things lining up for Jacquez to be the Spurs pick at 33. They even interviewed him so he's on their known interest/want list.

Someone will fall to 33 might as well be Jacquez.

Same. He was in my original top-5 favorites for the 33rd Pick that I posted in the OG 2nd Round prospects thread a couple weeks ago. Would be a great get at that point and he feels very Spursy.

Except Sheppard is 6’6 and plays defense tbh.

Walsh stinks offensively. Better to take Andre Jackson who is far more athletic and a good team play maker/creator, if you want a defender.
At least Jackson can finish at the rim better than Walsh.

[DesignatedT]

I want Walsh in the second round also. Just seems like a guy who is primed to have a long career as a solid role player. High basketball IQ, good passer, good around the rim, and willing to do the dirty work. They can get his 3 point shot respectable he seems to have decent mechanics.
