Was one of my guys at 33…still a little annoyed we traded away for two more 2nds but if you told me going into tonight we’d land Cissoko in the 2nd round I would’ve been happy with it.

Love it!!! I wanted him at 33 if he fell. High energy, athletic, good defender.
Spurs managed to get the one French player Wembanyama has no relationship with.
I like it. Would have been fine with Cissoko at 33.
If Cissoko agreed to sign a two-way contract, that's a really good pick.
We got our 2nd French guy, not Bilal, not Rupert but.. Cisso-who??
Vive la France!
Vive les Spurs!
I'm good with the pick either at 33 or 44.
Dope
Thought the same. They were even talking some trash to each other when they faced off this year IIRC. Sochan follows him on the gram though, prob met him this week in NYC.
Makes trading 33 more redeemable tbh I like him more than Leonard Miller this year tbh
Late first round guy falls to 44, possible 2 way. good stuff.
you, Portland.
First Batum, now Rupert.
Cissoko is like Rupert's ugly sister.
Summer League starting 5?
Wesley-Branham-Cissoko-Sochan-Wemby?
Should be fun to watch
Seriously he’s a great pick, defensive guard who can facilitate, long and athletic. I like it.
Eh, we got Wembanyama and they had to pick 3rd this year.
Not that Scoot Henderson is a bad player. But he's no Wemby.
My guess is they couldn’t find a taker for the 44th pick and so were forced to draft a player. I bet Cissoko never suits up for the Spurs.
I don't know anything about this guy, but I'm no draftnik.
Another reason the Spurs might be stockpiling future seconds rather than using them now is that once teams like Phoenix start running up against the second apron repeat offender restrictions, they will need ways to fill out their rosters cheaply and second round picks are a great way to do so. I could see the Spurs trying to roll some of their 2024 and 2025 seconds into the future for the same reason. They already have three seconds in each of the next two years.
Cissoko is as good a prospect as the 15 picks before him. Between him and Rupert, he's way more natural as a basketball player and the offensive side. I think Rupert was more Kawhiish on the defense side, and that's high praise. Kid has that kawhi poke steal man. Timing and reach just amazing.
Cissoko is an exciting prospect. Man body at 19, good body control, has a decent shot and has that at ude you want on your side. Really good pickup in the 2nd. Easy to see why the spurs traded 33. You can make the argument cissoko was as good as any prospect before him in the second for sure, and some 1st rounders.
Looking forward to seeing him develop.

"Everyone growing up as a kid in France wanted to play for the Spurs," Cissoko said. "When you saw the great things Tony Parker did with (Manu) Ginobili and (Tim) Duncan and Gregg Popovich, you wanted to play for them. And I know Gregg Popovich is going to do a good job with him (Wembanyama), so I am not worried about Victor."
With the Spurs, Wembanyama has a chance to be "one of the greatest players of all time," Cissoko said.
"Wemby is an alien," Cissoko said. "You never see a player 7-4, 7-3 doing the stuff he does. He is special. God gave him good gifts, just an amazing player."
One of his agents Jim Tanner also represents Sochan and was an agent for Timmy at one point.

So glad we picked him. He was my favorite non PG to take at 33, getting him at 44 is awesome. Obviously he needs to be in the gym everyday working on his shot but he is already a good enough player to bet on for his defense, size, athleticism and passing. Was almost a 2-1 A/TO guy at only 18 years old. If his shot is respectable hes a rotation player for sure. Great pick
