With Lauri on an expiring that can't really be extended (except for by Utah), maybe this is all it takes (assume Utah isn't planning on building around Lauri)? We'd have to get some assurances from Lauri that he'll resign. Maybe throw in the CHI pick. I don't see Lauri getting traded here this...

Knecht is more athletic and projects as a better shooter. Scheierman is a great value at 35 though. One of the things I like about Knecht though os that he's been 'the guy' on his team as opposed to a role player. Obviously either would be a role player here, bit having taken the bigger shots...

Except when you deep fry them and overheat them they have a chemical naturally occurring which is normally inactive but the process of deep frying in boiling oil or making them into potato chips, creates acrylamide which is roughly equally as carcinogenic to humans as benzopyrene in tobacco smoke...

So being an irregular person you are in the clear anus man?

I think there's a good chance Charlotte does that deal unless they just fall in love with a particular prospect. Controlling their pick next year has more value to them than anyone else. As for it being a weak draft, we all know that's true, but it's more true at the top. There are some good...

As an expert on this widespread malady, what are the indicators you would look for?

Serious question for anybody thinking of drafting Dalton Knecht at 8 - what is it about him that sets him apart from Baylor Scheierman in the second round? This isn't a question of value or anything, but like are we actually sure that Knecht is going to be a better pro than Scheierman? Both are 23...

If you guaranteed me Sheppard plus Castle right this second I’d probably go for it.

Dalton Knecht could replace Champagnie on day 1...and would pretty much guarantee us 10-15 more wins. If "replacing a starter on day 1" is a determining factor...than there's your #4 pick. Immediate impact. https://youtu.be/4WhUyjfkp0Q?si=EYfx_niClk22b9mH

nobody is talking about next year's draft. We are talking about this year. Risacher is by far BPA and would instantly start on the Spurs with Champagnie moving to the bench. I can't say that about any other prospect right now aside from maybe Dillingham and he's #2 on my board.

I agree and that's why I used the JDub ex, who also wasn't as good before his junior season Considering Wemby's advance wouldn't it be better to have a PG with an advanced development rather than one much younger one? Carter would be more ready to contribute especially on offense, their...

Can't see Washington and Charlotte taking either offer and no way I want three firsts in this weak draft, especially when the Spurs have a good shot at having three firsts in a good draft next year with talent much more worth the playing time than a third rookie in this class would be.

Pop is looking to recreate "The Beautiful Game" and handling the ball and passing is a premium. If you got SG height and can pass, then that helps. Need to think the traditional PG position is sooooo yesterday and we need as many ball handlers we can get. Height and ball handling= perfect mix!

Which picks?

Carter compared to Donovan Mitchell? https://www.tankathon.com/players/compare?players=devin-carter--donovan-mitchell

Old boy dropping the DX chop. Respect.

I'll agree that I'd probably add a protected 1st to get to #2. I'd take BPA there. I'd hope that would be Risacher. My Spurs Board is a little different than most. My top 5 are Risacher, Sarr, Buzelis, Sheppard, Castle.

Go ahead and refute it then, instead of your typical "wah, this hurts my sniffer sensibilities, so I'm going to call you stupid/tell you to kill yourself" post

That's because they're medical professionals and not conspiritards.

Fair enough (agree on McCain), but to me everything changed with Wembanyama. Since it's no longer a typical re-build, I'm no longer interested in projects unless the ceiling is sky high and I don't see it with Castle. I see a high bust rate archetype (rare that any of them become good...

Whose “KG”??

If someone get‘s desparate about the recent developments and needs a different look at the draft projections, you can listen to Leif Thulin and his latest big board. he has Dillingham at #1, then Sarr, Castle, Holland, Risacher, Clingan, Topic, Salaun……..(I stopped at this point). well, nice, we...

Everyone in this years draft is going to be overshadowed by next year's draft. He's not the only one and he's the best this draft has to offer.

See!?! ambs, the voice of reason & moderation in troubled times. ambs

I like these ideas. They likely fall short in terms of what the Spurs would need to pay and it would depend on how the board shapes up (we don't have the intel the Spurs' FO does). For instance: If Spurs can get hold of either Risacher or Castle at 4, then a modest offer to Charlotte to move up...

If you mean a reach, then maybe. But if you think a guy is going to be good at 12, there's no reason to not take him at 8 if there's no one in between. If you mean playing style/development, Carter is much more like J-Will or Podz as a player who finally clicked after a few years in the NCAA....
