who would want salaun/holland/buzelis .. surely all their fans must have disappeared after two games, no?
I edited Salaun at 4, Carrington at 8.

If the Spurs wanted Salaun, they would have picked him. He was there. They didn’t, so you’re pretty much just Monday morning quarterbacking.
Watching Salaun play, I really doubt the Spurs actually wanted him. Dude has enthusiasm. That may be about it.
Salaun is raw but seemed who the Spurs coveted at 8. I’m just playing devils advocate here. I really like Castle and thinks he’d be a 2nd all-star on a contender. But Carrington sure looked good at 14th
They definitely were targeting Saluan at 8.
He was always going to be a 2-3 year project so any sweeping assertations based on a 10 game sample size in his rookie year is dumb AF
Especially coming from the people who say it's too early to judge Branham after a 151 game sample.They definitely were targeting Saluan at 8.

Just really curious of how Pop will use Castle when he returns.
He's not going to return imho
i agree with thisThey definitely were targeting Saluan at 8.

i wasnt a fan of salaun as a lotto pick because of how much of a project he was. but he's exactly the type of player you dont judge based on early returns
There's absolutely no indication they wanted Salaun at 8. None. You may conjecture, but there's zero certainty. Zilcho.They definitely were targeting Saluan at 8.

And watching him, again, I completely doubt it. He's far, far far away from contributing.
And comparing him to Branham is a bit of a joke, yeah? Branham won a state championship in high school and was good for OSU. He actually understands how to play basketball. Salaun... doesn't.
I mean, instead of making up stories, actually watch him play.
Sorry I’ve been out of the loop for a few days and didn’t know until this morning that Pop’s diagnosis was let out to the public. Hopefully he can continue to have a good quality of life. Thanks
Sure, they're not gonna come out and say "We wanted Saluan."
Doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened but maybe I'm giving you too much credit.
By all accounts, the TWolves trade came together very haphazardly on the night of the draft right around the time Charlotte picked Saluan two spots before #8.
Maybe you can say the target was Clingan but it's never been confirmed that he worked out with SA like Saluan did. There were even reports that Saluan tweaked his ankle during the SA workout which just screams smokescreen.
Putting the league on notice vs the Fakers... my guy!!!
This kind of high profile performance is what he needs to have a chance at ROTY
Best player of this draft, it's not close
Now he needs to put the numbers to get what's his like Vic did last season
He has to start and close every games
Thus far, I feel that Castle is already a better rookie than all the other Spurs drafted players (only) when they were in their rookie year, other than Duncan, Robinson, Manu, Tony, Wemby
Yeah, it took Dejounte about 6 years to get just under Castle's current ability.
Nephew was pretty good.
Didn’t end up putting any money down on Castle at +1600 while I was in LV. Missed opportunity, although I’m the kind of gambler that if I bet on it, it definitely won’t happen… so no regrets
No, the indications are that the Wolves trade came as the Spurs were about to make their pick.

So... just make up stories if you want. Doesn't make them true.
These are the latest ROTY odds:
Jared McCain +210
Zaccharie Risacher +500
Zach Edey +500
Carlton Carrington +700
Alexandre Sarr +1100
Dalton Knecht +1800
Stephon Castle +1800
McCain is scoring 26.2 ppg over the last 5 games. I guess Castle odds will be a bit better after yesterday's game.
