Looking at less sexy moves - the Spurs need an actual backup C behind Wemby and it's clear Collins is not fit for that role. Ignoring what we'd have to do to dump his salary, who would be a realistic target as Vic's backup in FA? Kornet? Valanuncias? Drummond? slim pickings out there but Spurs...

Gaming the standing reach was genius. For the rest of his career he'll be described as this great leaper every single game.

Rich man's Oscar Robertson. I see his ceiling as a solid, rotation quality role player and there is nothing wrong with that. Every successful team needs several of them. Pop would probably dust off the old Forbes playbook to get Sheppard clean looks off of multiple screens. But he likely won't...

There are more top forwards than PG's in next year's draft for sure, but there are better forwards and PG's in next year's draft than this one. Castle isn't sniffing top 10 next year and there are at least 3 PG's better than him in that draft. Full disclosure- there are probably at least 5 or 6...

I'm high on Castle as well it's the best most realistically avail option at 4 imho as of right now

The spurs have valued length, youth and untapped upside in recent drafts, and other than Wemby and Devin, maybe its time to go in a different direction by going with the pick based on talent rather than on potential. We've been pretty much at the bottom with that strategy. Maybe by going with a...

No, there aren't as many options for solid defender PG or top PG than there are for SF in next year's draft.

They can get a better PG in next year's draft than Castle as well. That's just where it is. I'm also pretty high on Castle and would have no problem taking him at #4, so it isn't Castle bias or anything..

Let Risacher go this year. I want him drafted in the top 3 so Castle falls to 4. Spurs need to lock in Castle, that solid defender out of this year's draft and get the upside superstar Sf in next year's draft. The Spurs will get a better SF in next year's draft than Risacher.

Plan B for Castle? Surely they're not thinking of taking both.

Good thoughts. Risacher is gone by 4 but does it seem like in a very general way within the top 3 the fit for Risacher gets worse and worse from ATL to WSH to HOU? If Risacher slips, each slot he potentially slips starts to make it slightly more likely he falls to 4 miraculously. Not saying HOU...

I missed you including the 8th pick in the first offer. That makes it more fair but wash may just want that unprotected 25 first for the overall 2 this year. You do that strainght up?

This isn't Washington selling the pick but trading down to 8 so that they'd be getting their guy (Topic, Dillingham, whichever PG they prefer) at 8 (unlikely to be taken by anyone 3-7) and still add a future first (protected) and another pick that has a slim chance of conveying in the first round...

That's why Castle makes sense for the Spurs. If they can land this kid next year. Castle, Traore and Vassell would make a solid three guard rotation backcourt.

The Ringer compares Carter to Bruce Brown which I think is a pretty decent comparison, though Carter has shown through this past year plus the combine that he has a more promising shot. I see George Hill too, I didn't think of him at all but that's a good call on your part. I think if everything...

Think people need to let the dream of Risacher go tbh. It’s not happening. Barring a drastic change, he’s going to be a Wizard.

How about a san Antonio unprotected 25 pick and the charlotte pick (which doesn't hold much value) and the seconds? It's going to take more than what you want to trade to get that 2nd overall pick. You're going to have to part with something you value to make it worthwhile for the other team.

This kid is gonna be a stud tbh. Him being this good thing young is impressive. Also has great size for the position at 6’4+, and is said to be a high-character kid. Much prefer him to any of the PG’s in this draft tbh. And guarantee he’s all over the Spurs’ radar. 1794018131339354584

...not with the Black bitches. They've carved out a niche there, their niche. They ain't gonna let some guy, must less a honkey share their niche. No.

The "controversy" about whether or not Sheppard fully extended on the standing reach test is interesting. I just read a thread on reddit where a bunch of guys self tested and found the difference would generally be about 3" if you hold your arm straight up as opposed to maximum stretching. So let's...

At least it wasn't a Pal.

You shouldn't be murdering babies in the womb, Winester. Ever. It should be your religion.

congratulations on learning the term "prosecutional discretion " today

Who would be a good comp for Carter? George Hill?
