I see a few guards even fowards able to play pg in the top 10

It's crazy to me teams are considering taking a Jakob Poeltl in the top three. Clingan might be a bit better but the archetype can always be found later in the draft. I guess when the alternatives max out as role players, this is what you consider.
Seems more and more likely the Spurs can find Risacher at 4.
Tidjane Salaun was born in 2005 and could enter the 2024 draft or wait until 2025. He’s one of the more impressive power forward prospects in Europe, showing really good mobility, a lot of toughness and he plays with good energy on the court. He’s a long and springy athlete who plays inside and out on offense and flashes some wing potential. His outside shot is a bit slow but he can hit the 3 and shows a lot of promise in this area. He’s also a versatile defender who can guard in space and excels in an up-tempo game.
Lmao okay. Guess he's gonna be the best point guard of all time. Too bad nobody is drafting him first overall, because that's what you do to the best point guard of all time.
If you want Salaun, trade for a 3rd pick in this draft and take him….hes going to be stashed anyways
If some other team loves Risacher 6-12, there's a good possibility to trade too given that Detroit is going to pick BPA. The fall-off at wing after him seems pretty significant so if he's there at 4, the Spurs could get some really good trade offers and not have to fall too much.
No, you don’t. Steph Curry wasn’t first. Chris Paul wasn’t first. John Stockton wasn’t first. Stockton wasn’t the best point guard of all time. He places around 9th on that list. I don’t even think this is the point that alf was trying to make.
-We don't have a player on the roster that projects as a #2 on a championship level team. , we don't even have a clear cut #3 guy. Just because you have Wemby doesn't mean you stop taking swings at another home run talent.
-They're not contending in the next 2 years, point blank. This is absolutely the best time to get a guy sitting on his ass for 2 years if you think by year 3, he's a top contributor.
-It's a /draft flat so #8 is basically "late lotto" in a good draft
-They have two top 10 picks so they could get the "immediate contributor" you want at #4 (a la Castle) and still afford to take a home run swing at 8.
-Just because they have a ton of lottery picks coming up in the next 3 years doesn't mean they're going to make them all. They will and should consolidate them for better picks/players that they can focus on. I don't expect them to be developing 6-7 young guys over the next few years
Finally, this team has roster spots to spare. Outside Wemby and arguably 3-4 other players, everybody is replaceable and should be on the chopping block if the FO thinks a better prospect is worth the spot over them. That's not even debatable tbh.
Who knows. The wizard podcast types seems to see Clingan as a potential defensive "culture setter" since they've been in that department for so long. I still think ZR goes in the top 3, and suspect the Rockets will get a lot of trade interest if he falls there.
My gut is that if the two Cs and ZR go 1-3, that the Spurs take Topic for better or worse.
I can see taking Clingan over Risacher. I'd much rather get a solid center over Julian Champagnie that high in the draft.
Dude I’m so buying this. Reed freshman stat is so much better already and would only improve if he stays in college.
I didn’t say Reed’s comp is John Stockton. I meant his demeanor and decision making, nothing fancy just straight A to B. His steals and block shots. I would love for Spurs to pick him up.
It's uncanny how nearly identical Bronny James's combine numbers were to Reed Sheppard's.
Lane Agility
Bronny: 10.96
Sheppard: 10.96
Shuttle Run
Bronny: 3.02
Sheppard: 3.03
Three Quarter Sprint
Bronny: 3.09
Sheppard: 3.08
Standing Vertical Leap
Bronny: 32"
Sheppard: 32.5"
Max Vertical Leap
Bronny: 40.5"
Sheppard: 42"

Lots of nightmare scenarios emerging. Most of them involve Topic and Salaun.
The good thing is the days are flying by fast. For me at least.
For God sake, stop with Risacher with our #4 pick please. He will be a bust for sure.
Theres no way Spurs do Topic and Salaun at their current draft picks….if SA trades back maybe.
What will it cost to move up from #4 to #2 with Washington and take Risacher?
Mother of God... Why not trade Victor for the first pick in order to be sure to get in' Risacher ?
Holy , dude.
A pick in a real draft instead of this crap one. Better to stay put, and take who falls to us. At least you’re not burning that other future pick.
Depends on how much they love Risacher (if that’s indeed their guy). But if they love Clingan for example and think HOU will pass on him I think something like Pick 4 + CHI pick would get it done pretty easily
I have no idea if he’d be a bust or not, but I know for a fact I’d never be able to correctly pronounce his last name. So I vote no. Hey, it’s as good a reason as some of the takes I’ve read.
based on how he played down the stretch last year he's working on finishing his tenure with the spurs tbh
We could get Tiddy ed, yes that's true. But they have to draft a shooter at 4 then.
