Atlanta: Sarr
Wizards: Zack
Houston: Clingan (ume really wants a defensive center)
so Spurs will get their choice of guard and probably Cody Williams at eight.
As long as we get away from trash Risacher, I'm happy.

A better lesson is don’t hard tank year after year. Detroit has taken it up the poop chute two years in a row with the best lottery odds. I loved that three teams got booted from the top 4 spots.
I think we'll see:
1. Hawks: Sarr
2: Wiz: Clingan
3. HOU: Risacher
4. Spurs: Topic
5. Pistons: Sheppard
It will indeed interesting, this year maybe more than others, to see what teams will do with their picks, including the spurs.
Imo, this is how it goes:
Hawks: Would be really surprising if they don't take Sarr.
Wizards: They need everything, I'm hoping they don't pick Risacher.
Rockets: They got plenty of wings. Clingan or a point guard for FVV to mentor.
Spurs: Risacher or the next best wing.
Pistons: Sheppard because he fits nicely with Cade or a wing.
Hornets: Anything other than a point guard.
Blazers: Same as Hornets.
Spurs: Point guard.
I don't think PATFO should go for a point guard with #4 because Pistons Hornets and Blazers surely won't pick one, except for maybe Pistons taking Sheppard.
But all of them need wings and Spurs' preferred wings won't be available at #8.
Risacher would be ideal with #4 and then a point guard with #8.
Although I wouldn't have anything against two wings, just don't pick a point guard with #4.
Man this is ing wild. The rest of the offseason is going to be something else. I can barely speculate what the roster is going to look like on opening day.
If timvp says Dillingham is #1 on our list and Givony says Dillingham is #1 on our list, then he must be our man.
The fact that we can get him without having to pay a #1 overall pick salary and the pressure of expectations that comes with it makes this victory even sweeter.
ter.
1. Hawks: Sarr
2. Wiz: Topic
3. Hou: Sheppard
I think Spurs will most likely be able to choose between the top 2 on Timvp's draft board
If the rockets take Shepperd I'm going to have a bad draft night
Hawks at 1 (probably closes the door on any realistic Murray back to the Spurs scenario) and Rockets at 3 (potential Sheppard team) isn't great, but you can't have everything.
Getting 4 and 8 is a much better outcome than I expected and with the Wizards at 2, a trade up scenario for Risacher is probably in play.
I don't see an obvious Clingan team until Grizzlies at 9, so a trade back scenario could be in play too.
Sarr is a big target for Trae, plus his rim defense, on top of DJ help defense. I’d draft Sarr if I were Hawks.
For what ?
Ill take Dilly
Same. Number 8 is much harder to predict
Since lottery was a big shakeup, things change.
Cade, Lamelo, Scoot are cornerstones of three franchises picking after our 4th pick. No way they're taking Dillingham when they need help on every other position.
Either Wizards/Rockets take Dillingham or he falls to #8 for us.
We got to get a wing with #4, those three behind us will all want wings.
Asuar laughed when the pistons got the 5th pick
Last year, once the first 3 balls had been picked, 6 of the remaining 11 would have sent Victor to the Wizards. Only 1 of those 11 balls would give the Spurs the #1 pick and sure enough it came up.
Having big numbers like 10 and 14 makes it much more likely that teams lower in the lottery order like the Hawks and Rockets move up.
I'm guessing the last ball was something like 11 or 12.
I rather Wizards taking Risacher than Rockets getting him. I’m starting to hate Rockets more and more, and Ime making them better makes it worst.
This is a fair argument but the counter argument is that when you suck you don’t draft out of need. You go with the best prospect and work out the roster logistics later.
Spurs about to reload big time
I was pessimistic thinking we’d just get a low pick and Toronto wouldn’t convey. This is basically as close to best case scenario as the odds could have gone. Now it’s in Brian Wrongs hands
Sheppard is more a Stockton type, while Dillingham is more an Iverson type. I always preferred the stockton, team first, style. But Iverson was a monster. Wouldn't be unhappy with either.
Not as impressed with Risacher as most here. Prefer a Clingham type, especially if we get Dillingham. If we get Sheppard, then maybe add a more offensive/shooter type.
Gonna be interesting.
