I think Washington takes Castle at #2. I don’t think they move off of Gafford to grab another big so soon. Clingan is not the same player obviously, but the money he would earn across his rookie deal is not to dissimilar to what Gafford was locked in for.

Based on combine numbers, he's the best athlete in the draft and shot the ball well too. The problem is he's an undersized SG since he's just an okay passer and can't self create. The combine performance is great to see and definitely helped solidify him in the first, but I don't think it changed...

What would be the ideal, realistic win now scenario? Keep both 2024 picks. Draft Castle and Knecht. Collins+picks for Markkanen. Get Patrick Williams or Oubre in FA. Get a backup big rim protector in FA. Claxton would be ideal if he's willing to come off the bench. If not, one of the...

This is good analysis. I agree that WAS is the lynchpin of this whole thing. Additional thoughts: - If the Spurs like Castle, I think they'd need to take him at 4. I don't think he gets past CHA. - I assume the "top" wings (ZR, Matas, Holland) will go before 8, so if they take Castle I...

Those might still be very good picks, even though I don't think folks should project either as a starter next season. It would be hard for Castle to start next season given his rawness and limitations. Jones may be better as a backup, but he's still a real barrier. He should have every opportunity...

"Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain." :lol Mike Cohen

75 points per 100 possessions

absolutely not. there was a bunch of stuff that went wrong for the mavs. and regardless of how bad him and luka shot, ultimately it came down to missed fts, giving okc too many orebounds, and committing too many unforced turnovers. mavs are unquestionably a better basketball team tho. with...

If Castle thinks he’s a 1, then this is a no brainer. Either Reed or Castle with the 4th pick and I’m a happy camper.

How hard is it to get Wemby the ball!!! Yes, Dillingham may turn out to be our future Trae Young, but do we really want a Trae Young molded player. Is the offense worth the sacrifice of the defense? CASTLE AT #4 Risacher, Dillingham(or Sheppard), Holland, Buzelis, Knecht, Williams at #8 in...

Luka is to blame too Too many terrible turnovers and bad body language

Dillingham was asked about the Spurs. (3:11) Nothing much I guess. Seems like a good kid, I could see why the Spurs would draft him just by his personality I guess.

Damn they couldn't last one season without Wemby :lol. That's wild.

Devin Carter with some great numbers in the combine. Some of the best. I can see those numbers helping people believe in him more. Just saying.

Based on interviews, Ron Holland doesn't seem like Spurs personality to me tbh. I'd bet the Spurs are much more intrigued by Risacher and Buzelis in terms wing players.

ESPN injury update (sorry if already posted). Rob Dillingham, PG, Kentucky: Dillingham, a projected top-five pick who ranks No. 4 in our Top 100, wasn't able to fully participate in the draft combine Monday. He sprained his ankle in a workout two weeks ago, Klutch Sports agent Lucas Newton told...

Irving's play is just dogshit, he lost it singlehandedly.

I disagree a bit. I think we can say the top five picks last year stay in place, even if Scoot looks a bit uncertain. Alien-Miller-Scoot-Amen-Ausar. But then you have Anthony Black, who is pretty similar to Stephon Castle. Then it's Coulibaly, Jarace Walker, Taylor Hendricks, Cason Wallace, Jett...

As I said before, it feels like this new CBA is built for two max contracts per roster. Supermax for Wemby and then a regular max for his running mate. With a few more elite players on great deals. Then we fill out the rest.

Anyone who wants a max contract after his rookie one?

With almost zero shooting :lol. This lineup would be horrendous offensively. Don't think we take both Castle and Holland. Just guessing here, but unless a second wing is clearly BPA, I think PATFO take one wing and one guard (assuming we keep both picks).

True, but we need someone to steady the ship when needed and reset everything when sets fail. Tbh, if you ask 20 of these prospects about their preferred destination, I bet that at least 15 would say they'd want to play with Wemby, who wouldn't?

I like the buzelis, knecht current draft stock, i don't think there's any chance we pick them and to me they have the highest bust potential. In fact i wouldn't be surprised buzelis falls out of the top 20 if he doesn't convince teams. He has, to me, the most mercurial stock of anybody as his...

Nah, we already have 2-4 picks coming next year, don't need another one.

Castle sounds like he’s auditioning as the starting PG for Wemby… hope to be a All-Defensive?. Pop would love this kid.

Sure. This team doesn't need a ball dominant point. The issue has always been defense.

Castle (4th), Vassell, Holland (8th), Sochan and Wemby should be smothering defense.

I've been saying dude needs to go see some kind of psychologist or something for years now. I don't think that's normal, it's like he can't stop himself at all. It wouldn't be so bad if he weren't hurting the team with it too.
