They will adjust to us in that they will let Edey do whatever he wants because they will obliterate him on offense
If I thought Castle could develop a three point shot I'd take him #1 in a second; he'd easily project as an allstar. If the Spurs think they can they have to take him at #4. But it looks like a daunting task. As it stands now there's no way you could play Castle and Sochan together.
Sochan is going to have to fix his shot otherwise he's probably not gonna be on the team in a few years anyway, which solves the problem by itself
Unlike the UK guards and Topic who are seen as potential PGs prospects, Castle is a little different and I think they would have to select Castle with #4 if they really want him. I can see CHA and POR taking a swing on him before the Spurs pick again at #8.
And in that world, it makes the #8 selection very interesting. If the Spurs want their wing there, we're probably looking at the next tranche of players (Williams, Saluan). I have a hard time seeing Matas getting past DET and Holland past POR.
I don't believe that's a problem, and I'm really not sure any rookie spurs will draft this year will start from day 1 (or year one).
Update on Topic, the team (redstar) announced Topic will be able to avoid Surgery, so Givony was correct
Really does look like Clingan is Sheppard's dad and Castle is Dilly's.
I think it's a very valid question. If you don't like Trae Young because of the cost... then Dilly might make a lot of sense. But if you don't like Trae Young because of the player he is... it's hard to see why you would want Dilly. I think you are exactly correct that Trae Young's absolutely best case scenario is a better shooting Trae Young. The counter to that would be that Dilly might be better off ball, but will he?
Yeah I see no way Castle ever slips to 8. He makes way too much sense for Charlotte, especially if Clingan is off the board.
3 of them are hiding their balls from the girl (Primo rule), Sheppard isn't. Bad defense here. Every detail matters.
Clingan - megachurch pastor. Castle - youth pastor. Kentucky kids - kids.
You also have to remember there are like 300 guys who participate in the NFL combine vs what, 60 or 70, that participate in the NBA combine.
News at 11: cream of the crop athletes in this country who happen to play running back, defensive back and wide receiver in college can jump high.
If number 4 is Buzelis or Castle.
And the Spurs pass on Dillingham.
I'm seeing what the market is for number 8. Like, if Clingan falls. See what the appe e is. (Although I think 5-7 might have the same idea.)
Trading out from that pick and trading up from the 35 may have more ultimate value than taking the 8 outright.
Our problems are PG, forward and shooting. You are propossing to add a SG and center that can't shoot. How in the F does any of these guys solve ANY of our all problems, let alone ALL of them?
Imagine a lineup of Castle, Vassell, Sochan, Wemby and Clingan. Easily the worst lineup in the entire league. The Pistons would beat us by 40. That wouldn't even work in the pre-three point line invention era.
When it comes to draft stock all bets are off. I seen tougher guys than Rob duck the combine.
Quite a sobering assessment. I've had Matas and Holland both over him for awhile now, and stand true to that.
One thing about Hollinger's tiers you posted a few posts later... when I look at tiers I generally think "I would draft anyone in this tier, regardless of my needs, before I'd draft anyone in the next tier". With that in mind, my Tier I and II right now is below (this may not be my exact order, but close). Keep in mind, this is with a Spurs-centric lens, so guys like Sarr and Clingan get dinged because we don't need them (though I don't particularly like Sarr anyway).
Tier I:
Matas
Holland
Dillinger
Sheppard
Castle
Tier II:
Risacher
Williams
Sarr
Klingan
Knecth
Carter
I think we have a real opportunity here to end up with two guys from Tier I, which is exciting (and frankly, I believe we have an opportunity to end up with the top two on my board, but I suspect Holland will rise).
I'm hoping that we take a prospect we like at #35 (Nunez? Ajay Mitc ?) and let them fight it out in camp with guys like Blake/Champ/Bassey/Barlow. If they're clearly better, those guys are all easy to move on from. If the pick doesn't beat them out, offer them a two way or let them catch on somewhere else. It's a free roll of the dice.
You're putting too much value solely on Dillingham's shooting. I'm not even sure he will be able to maintain his college shooting %s in the NBA. He's small and not very good going to the basket.
He doesn't bring much else in his game and is not a good pick. Castle is better in every other area except 3 pt. shooting
It isn't exactly what they are saying. They are saying he doesn't currently require surgery. What a weird way to say it.....
Putting pieces together, I'm almost sure Topic's knee is ed and will need surgery to be fixed. The question is do you pick him at #8 if he needs a surgery followed by, let's say, 3 to 6 months of rehab ?
I think I'd like to package both 2nd's and a young player (Wesley? ) to move up to #25. I think there will be a few intriguing guys available there.
It may be to many rookie though..
