If you look strictly at the post positions, the Spurs get #5 and nothing more (since Toronto gets #6).
Getting #4 and #8 ain't bad.
Yeah, but none of these guards is a must have prospect.
Topic can't shoot or defend, Dillingham doesn't have NBA body and is an even worse defender. Castle can't shoot at all. Sheppard isn't an actual point guard who can run an offense.
Scoot was a way better prospect and struggled a lot.
If I'm picking someone who's got high bust potential, I'd rather get an athletic wing who could become a solid role player.
All these point guards will be out of the league real soon if they don't live up to their best case scenario potential.

Spurs getting that tor pick is fckn gravy
Last year Charlotte didn't pick Scoot who was considered the better player at the time. They made the right choice.
Thanks Masai
Happy mothers day ST, make sure to tell your mothers you love them.
Also, LETS GO! 4 and 8! DILLINGHAM AND BUZELIS ARE SPURS!
yup. hope he stays out of Houston. Houston and OKC already set to give spurs problems in the future.
How did the spurs got tor pick? Tor wasnt called before 6th pick actually it was spurs got the 8th pick
For those concerned about salary cap implications of lottery picks: https://www.spotrac.com/nba/cba/rookie-scale/
It said "via Toronto" at the bottom of that card. Same goes for Rockets getting the Nets pick and Blazers getting Warriors pick.
wild lottery. I guess Dillingham and one of the wings are in play.
It sure was nice of Toronto to tank the 2nd half of the season to give us a better draft pick.
The 8th pick was actually Toronto's, they messed up the reveal by not saying it was the Spurs VIA Toronto (like they didn't say Houston's pick at #3 was actually Brooklyn's).
Great for us.
Reading is hard
I wouldn't be surprised if Atlanta and Washington swapped picks, Sarr makes more sense for Washington and Risacher for Atlanta.
Great lottery for spurs.
A better result for Spurs would have been getting #1/#2/#3 + the Raptors' pick or #4 + #7.
These outcomes represented 21% of the possible ones. There was 77% of worst outcomes for Spurs.
We got pretty lucky (provided you wanted Raptors' pick this year).
I'm with LeBowen here that wing is the smart choice at #4 (though I'm also biased in that I believe we should double up on wings here).
Especially if Risacher goes top 3, take your favorite wing because a run on them will begin. In this case, I take Matas. If Dilly falls to 8 great, though I still might prefer Holland with that pick.
Some immediate thoughts ahead of us:
- Atlanta getting #1 is fascinating and really alters the complexion of this offseason. Do they stick with Trae and DJM, or do they still look to move one? For us, it might be best if they take Sarr and decide to run it back. I don't think Sarr will have a huge immediate impact in the W/L column so it should put ATL back in the lottery. On the flip side, this might be the opportunity that Atlanta needs to really retool. They could move one of Trae or DJM and build a more coherent roster around the player that is left and their new #1 pick. Trading DJM probably gives them more options to bring back useful players. But does Atlanta even take Sarr? He seems like the best fit here, but do they perhaps like Clingan more? Or do the try to move on from Hunter and Bey and look at Risacher as an ideal fit next to Jalen Johnson?
- What will Washington do?!? Yeah, they "need everything" but they have quite the glut of wings. Deni, Kispert, Bilal, Kuzma. If they like those guys, Risacher might not be the direction they want to go. Their favorite PG *or* Clingan (or Sarr if Atlanta goes another direction) seem to make the most sense. From my personal agenda, I hope they fall in love with and take Topic.
- Houston... wow. A lot here might depend on if they view Amen as a PG or a wing. Would they take a guy like Clingan and move Sengun to PF? They are loaded with wing depth already. Brooks, Jabari, Whitmore, Eason, Amen if they view him as a wing... My guess is they probably feel like they want to commit to Green (and I think he has shown enough up to now to do so)... so backup off-guard seems like a bad play. PG? Definitely makes sense with FVV entering the last year of his deal. Houston may look at an opportunity to consolidate some of their young talent and this pick and get a win-now veteran. Back to looking at Bridges? Khris Middleton? Maybe big S&T for Paul George? This might be the kind of scenario that Ainge would love to exploit in a deal for Lauri... this is really fascinating to me.
Oh sorry didnt see because i was got intense.lolReading is hard
I’d rather not.
That wouldn't be terrible. Getting good shooting at least. I wish I had more faith in being able to make Williams or Holland into NBA players.
That’s a great outcome for the spurs tbh..
ATL- Saar
Was- Dilly
Hous- Sheppard
Spurs- Risacher
Detroit- Clingan
Charlotte- Castle
Portland- Williams
Spurs- Topic
Memphis- Holland
Utah- Buz
