Despite not being your cup of tea, I respect your knowledge, but I've heard this spiel so many times about this archetype. They're almost always described in similar fashion and almost always bust. Even most of the ones who succeed don't do so as lead guards and become bit players in the...

I think the Spurs swing hard on this guy at 8. They’ll take Castle or Topic at 4. It’s still a month until the draft, and I bet the media will lever up Topic hard once he’s able to practice again.

The weaknesses of this guy is so drastic but this draft is so poor that he’s the preferred choice over many other average candidates at our picks. Everything is so alarming about him on defense that I don’t think people are prepared for what they’re going to witness when he’s in the NBA. If people...

I like the concept of getting #1, but I don't believe I could give up the 25 atl pick.

Not particularly fond of him. Think he'll put up some high scoring games, but how much will he give up on the other end? He might pair well with a player like Stephen castle. Won't be upset if we draft him, but he's not at the top of my list either.

So there is no player his size in the playoffs Pass on this dude Another trea

I’ve mentioned this before, but is anyone concerned about the wear and tear his body takes on some of these self-creation opportunities? If he’s injured atm, why do you guys think that is? His landings on some of these jumpers is extremely awkward and adds up through the course of the season. ...

I'd love to trade #4 plus dogshit to move up to #2 but no idea why Washington would do that deal.

Thinking a little creatively about ATL and if they want to get their picks back so they can tank... What about: ATL Gets: #8 overall in 2024, all three of their picks back, Keldon, Collins SA Gets: #1 overall in 2024, Trae/Dejounte (take your pick. If Dejounte, then only Collins goes out). ...

even dillingam can make donut pass the ball if it's on a double.. perhaps only marco belinelli wouldn't make him pass, he just does it automatically... That's not saying much imo.

Oh shit!!! :lmao :lmao :lmao

tatum has been getting scorched all playoffs and he has no chance to defend donut. Donut is going to feast 42 per game without problem.. only chance is porzingis coming from the weak side to make donut pass, but quite farfetched. They are prepared for irving, that i agree.

There are/were plenty of players Dillingham's height making an impact in the playoffs. He gives up some pounds to all of them but he isn't short compared to McConnell, Brunson, Irving, etc. McConnell is 6'1" with a 6'0" wingspan and was as essential as anyone for the Pacers' run.

antetokumpo, kawhi... guys like that. You need a really long armed, athletic sf that doesn't make stupid fouls. That's the blueprint.

No, your ma. Were you fuckin' her last night?

Is there one player his size getting minutes in the playoffs Irving? Pass on this dude

Jrue and Derrick for Kyrie. Brown and Tatum for Luka. I guess Tatum is weakest of the four, but still a very good defender.

And who, pray tell, can guard the donkey at all then?! I think the strategy is throw competent fresh defenders on him all game, so that when the time comes to hit a clutch shot he's running out of gas. Make more sense? I haven't seen the perfect defender for him, that's why he averages 34-9-9....

?

Agreed 100%. That's why I said I don't like putting all your eggs in one basket. Too risky, and I'm confident (I hope) that PATFO are smarter than that. You take BPA, especially iff it's at a position pf need, period. W just food for thought.

Michael Ajayi will withdraw Anthony Dell'Orso has withdrawn Princeton's Xaivian Lee will withdraw Garwey Dual will withdraw Ugonna Onenyso will withdraw Baba Miller will withdraw Arizona’s Caleb Love will withdraw

Him being better doesn't mean he's good enough of a defender. No scouting report has him as POA. I'm not that high on Dillingham, but I acknowledge that he's one of tbe few players with star potential in this class. Sheppard definitely isn't one of them.

Yep, yep.

yes, doncic is far longer, he's not going to defend him.

That's actually better than anyone on the Spurs team. no I am not counting McDoormat

I'd say that you don't worry about next year's draft and you draft the best players that are available. If that is a PG (say, Dillingham) and you're in a position to take Traore next year and he is the best player and fit available, you do it and figure it out then. Worst case scenario is that you...

If his shot isn't falling, he's super quick and can get into the lane. Pretty different than Parker, but they both could more or less get to wherever they wanted to go. Dillingham's playmaking is pretty underrated. Not a genius passer, but he makes snap passes and sees them well, most important he...

So first off you agree with me that Sheppard is the better defender so that's a start, even though you do about a good a job of articulating that as the Fonz trying to say he's wrong (can't do). Now the part about Sheppard shoots 10% higher, but that's because he takes easier shots. Pretty shaky,...

US of course catches some of the stink for supporting the campaign against ICC / smearing palestinian NGOs... and of course it was worse under trump

I can see those rationales, I just feel like Dillingham is the best talent and potentially transforms the Spurs. I also think he could go higher than anyone right now expects or that Detroit/Charlotte will get smart about this. I like Sheppard, but think he's more limited than I'd wish. Anyway,...
