NBA Draft and Spurs

this play is why i don’t love ace bailey. just terrible decision-making, even if he made the shot. these sorts of things rarely get better with time. all the talent in the world but don’t love how he thinks about the game right now


I think this is a somewhat lazy take. I’m trying to think of a single stretch big that hasn’t faced this criticism. He just finished year 1. Let him figure out what he’s capable of. The other obvious piece of this is he wasn’t amazing at carving space in the deep post. needs 💪

Victor Wembanyama won’t be a scary offensive player until he stops taking so many 3-pointers and mid-range bail-out fadeaways. He has to take better and more efficient shots.

I still find it funny that Trae Young quite literally does everything better than Tyrese Haliburton with a larger sample size and worse roster but couldn’t get a Team USA nod over him Pure politics 😆

why i’m not as high on Juan Nunez:


finally having reed as a top prospect in this draft feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders


Seems like the Pistons are gonna get Matas on Wednesday night


the Spurs draft is gonna have positional balance Option 1: No funny biz - Sarr, Risacher, Clingan(?) go in top 3 - Spurs draft Castle at 4, Salaun at 8 Option 2: funny biz - Clingan goes 1, Sarr 2, someone else three - Spurs draft Risacher at 4, Carter at 8

Victor Wembanyama on the fanbase here in San Antonio: “I can feel the passion in this city. But there’s nothing agressive or invasive about it. It’s not the same in other places, like New York”. #porvida #sanantonio Full interview in French on @7a8. tf1.fr/tf1/sept-a-hui


One thing on Risacher: People act like he and Bilal Coulibaly are the same caliber of prospect. to be clear: For all of Risacher’s flaws, he’s still a much better prospect than coulibaly was. just has to be said because people are comparing them so much

Assuming Lebron retires tomorrow and Luka plays all 82 games averaging 33 it would still take him 11 years lmao

Wemby winning a ring before Luka btw


My Spurs Board as of right now. Taking Fit into account 1.Sarr 2.Risacher 3.Castle 4.Reed 5.Topic 6.Matas 7.Dillingham 8.Holland 9.Clingan 10.Devin Carter 11.Knecht 12.Collier 13.Bub 14.Cody Williams 15.Ware


Shooting: Reed Athlete: D Carter Playmaking: Topic Speed: Holland Interior Defender: Clingan Perimeter Defender: Shead Ball Handling: Dilly Highest Floor: Reed/Clingan Highest Ceiling: Sarr Versatility: Sarr/Matas Game IQ: Reed Underrated: Bub/Collier Dog mentality: Scheierman

Honest to God i’m really good with anyone at 8 other than Salaun. assuming the top three is Sarr, Risacher and Clingan If we draft Castle at 4, i’m good with Buzelis Reed Dilly Holland Topic Devin Carter Knecht Bub Collier Cody Williams and more, over Saluan


As of right now, this is my prediction for how the Draft goes (subject to change and accounting for potential trades) 1. Sarr 2. Risacher 3. Clingan 4. Castle 5. Buzelis 6. Sheppard 7. Holland 8. Salaun 9. Devin Carter 10. Topic 11. Dilly 12. Edey 13. Knecht 14. Ware 15. TDS


Spurs want #1 Hawks want Clingan Rockets want Win-now pieces surely there’s a trade between two of these three parties, or all three even.


Feels like it’s gonna go 1. Sarr 2. Risacher 3. Clingan (Rockets trade pick) right now. If the Spurs stay pat, you can add Steph Castle on there at #4. However, if Hawks trade out, all hell breaks loose
