I can see taking Clingan over Risacher. I'd much rather get a solid center over Julian Champagnie that high in the draft.

Who knows. The wizard podcast types seems to see Clingan as a potential defensive "culture setter" since they've been shit in that department for so long. I still think ZR goes in the top 3, and suspect the Rockets will get a lot of trade interest if he falls there. My gut is that if the two...

^look who the dead pussy is now

On the contrary he rebounded well during that stretch when starters were out. Also his motor was high enough to bother bigs. He has the physical strength just needs to get tough

You forgot white christians but ok

They are not just that but TPups are daring them to take outside shots, a good strategy if the shots aren't falling

Castle is your best perimeter, point-of-attack in this class. Just need to work on his 3. Vassell/Castle/Sochan/Wemby are all good help defenders. Dilly will be okay.

If they keep two of their three existing rotational fringe bigs, he should be one of them. I won't mention their names because I'm assuming you know that.

I’m okay with Dilly, Vassell and Castle as our 3 guards rotation. I really like Mamu than Sochan at 4, with his size and range not to mention Diaw-esque passing. Dilly, Vassell, Castle, Mamu, Wemby lineup I think competes. I’m sure Tre starts for now likewise Sochan.

Leave any woman or child around a black celebrity, there's a 6 in 4 chance that person will be raped.

I think the Spurs have so many holes in the lineup at this stage with so many young, still developing players that they can’t be so myopic in focusing on any positional player in the first round. Especially in this draft class with so many unknown & underdeveloped kids in the draft. I feel they...

-We don't have a player on the roster that projects as a #2 on a championship level team. Hell, we don't even have a clear cut #3 guy. Just because you have Wemby doesn't mean you stop taking swings at another home run talent. -They're not contending in the next 2 years, point blank. This is...

I agree, i think he's a clear Top 5 pick even with the slight knee injury.

I know the mindset for many is that spurs need to move quickly on a point and running on an assumption that its now or nothing in terms of picking the RIGHT point guard. But, if dillingham or topic, or even castle dont work out as “the one”, I feel we still have time. So why rush the process and...

Dillingham might be an even worse defender than Trae, and nowhere near Trae’s level on offense (especially not passing-wise). And he’s far from the only shooter in this draft. It would be a big mistake. The spurs need to use at least one of these picks on a 3&D type big wing.

You have to take Sarr in that scenario.. it also makes it very likely that Sheppard or Dilly is there at #8 along with Salaun, Williams, Knecht, or Holland. It's not the draft we envisioned, but we could find ourselves looking back and seeing that it's what we needed.

Not sure if the Spurs can turn Holland or Castle into the shooters they would have to be to survive on this team. Obviously, I’d be thrilled to be wrong but we just haven’t turned a poor shooter into a great shooter in a while.

All this roster construction talk seems a bit premature. Like talking about adultery when you're trying to get a first date. Just get some basketball players, some building blocks, and only then start thinking about roster construction.

Agree on the shooting, but I like Castle and Holland upside enough to over look that and try to solve it elsewhere short term while hoping one or both of them figure out their shooting

Ya - Im fine with it mostly because they are both highly ranked players anyways and there’s plenty of long term and short term minutes for multiple guards with losing Graham, Cedi and having no real competition with Branham/Blake/Tre long term at this point. Plus, you are just hoping one of...

WHERE IS RUDY GIULIANI? Arizona officials say they can’t find Rudy Giuliani to serve him with indictment notice

Mamu as the 10th to 12th man making a minuscule salary is practically a non-issue. It'd be different if he was asking for the MLE or something like that. I like him for spot minutes.

to me not coming away with one of the kentucky guards is the catastrophic version of this draft. my top combinations are risacher + kentucky guard, or holland + kentucky guard as chump said, if castle is drafted its going to be for him to run point. at that point i think dillingham makes less...

If the Spurs draft Castle they're going to at least try him at the point; it's inevitable. Castle/Dilly seems kind of underwhelming initially but that's what this draft is. At least they get one guy who can shoot.

O god please let this happen!!! Great write up!

Castle and Knecht I can live with, both are mature and seem like professionals, so to speak.

Well well well.... https://x.com/yashar/status/1791516240965701917

No, you don’t. Steph Curry wasn’t first. Chris Paul wasn’t first. John Stockton wasn’t first. Stockton wasn’t the best point guard of all time. He places around 9th on that list. I don’t even think this is the point that alf was trying to make.
