Granted it was a very small sample size, but I starting digging into some of Castle's high school film to see what he looked like running point. While he played "point guard" and showed some decent passing chops and iq, he's not what I would call a pass-first guy. Mostly, he's looking to score for...

Horseshit.

There's a difference between drafting a bad shooter but that you know has a big chance of improving in that area, and someone that was given 15 ft of cushion in the NCAA tournament by opposing coaches. Also, context matters. If we hadn't recently drafted tens of prospects with iffy shooting that...

Oh, yeah, now I remember.

The more I think about it, I think Risacher, Castle and Sarr will go 1-2-3. Risacher has the power of recency going for him, he has had some good games lately in the playoffs. Even though Washington could use a big man, they also could use a point guard and Castle says that's what he wants to...

Someone just pointed out that Salaun has blocked 10 shots in 51 games this season. That's incredibly concerning. A player that size should accidentally block more than 10 shots.

Shaq was lazy but don’t change history shall we?

Each prospect just has so many question marks tbh. It's a unique draft in that sense. Literally every prospect in the lottery has major flaws/weaknesses, which makes it difficult to project not only their fit, but whether or not they'll even be serviceable role players. Should be a fun draft night...

That's the entire point. If he was on 20 million a year instead of 35, Nuggets would never consider moving him. He's low IQ, offers no playmaking whatsoever, but he's a 6'10 high volume 3pt shooter and a very good rebounder. Not a great defender, but having Wemby behind him instead of Jokic would...

The 20 ppg goal is completely arbitrary. I'd much rather have a guy who defends and puts up something like 16/7/4 with good shooting percentages and good impact over a guy who wants to be the star of the show. Anyone joining the Spurs has to recognize that Wemby is the #1 guy.

very curious to see how boston plans to defend the dallas PnR. KP seems to be their only chance to defend it without dropping corner defenders into the paint. but the thought of luka getting KP on switches is hilarious.

I'd like that addition

I don't expect them to be. Also, neither is Castle. The Kentucky guards, at least, have a much bigger chance of becoming rotation pieces, specially Sheppard. Castle could be out of the league by year 3.

Agree with everything you said here Body, but especially these parts. Been saying it for weeks now -- Don't want Topic on the Spurs. Too many players who I think are a better fit beside Wemby. Would also much rather Buzelis over Salaun, who scouts are saying is a really poor defender. He's also...

Maybe. But Spurs desperately need defense and shooting, both of which are Topic's weaknesses. The fit really isn't great tbh. Dillingham and/or Castle make more sense beside Wemby. Not to mention Topic is already looking injury prone at just 19 years old.

Competing is one thing scamming the results is another. You must be a believer if you’re not cheating you aren’t trying.

Not even. 3-4 days with some of the tortas we got down here in SA and he'll be good to go.

This is my dream draft. And yea, Risacher is going top-2.

Since there is so much up in the air I feel like the 4 is the perfect spot to pick. I'd say theres a high chance some of the first 3 teams will pick completely unexpectedly overthinking a pick and someone top 3 will be someone no one expected.

frickin' great film. it's so cool to see the two of them hosting a podcast together now.

Jumping in game and jumping to get the highest possible vert are two different things players jump only as far as they need to in a game you put a measuring stick in front of them, they’re all going to compete for the highest because that’s what people do. I remember those days competing to...

Actually the majority here has Risacher, Castle, Sarr and Dillingham as their top 4 from what I‘ve seen, just in different orders. I agree with that.

It’s funny how no one here have the same hopes for this draft, some want Risacher, others want Castle or Topic, some even want Clingan. That will be an interesting draft night !

aside from Vassell none of these guys are complete players though. They either can‘t shoot or can‘t play defense, which are the 2 Main things they should be able to do if we’re talking about complete players

That's what I'm saying. I think he has profound question marks. He's historically not been a good shooter and has metrics that give pause. Free throw shooting is fairly poor, for example, and his shot to me doesn't actually look great. He's not a volume shooter. When he misses, he misses badly and...

He is not a safe pick by any stretch of the imagination but in this particular draft he seems to be the guy with less question marks which again sounds crazy

Good questions, but only context needed is probably this was in Dec....

i think this needs context. is this unusual for the spurs? how many scouts do they usually send? what exactly does timvp mean by "interest" and is this so called lack of "interest" a more recent development or has the spurs level of interest always been somewhat tepid?

So anyway 2 Gs mav fags make it all the way this year.

Of course. You're a textbook narcissist. Everything is about you.
