The point, for me, is that I'd much rather secure Stephon Castle (in this scenario) than have to pick a Cody Williams or Ron Holland. If all it takes are some SRPs, then absolutely. I'd even think about giving them their FRP back. There's a PR hit there ("The Spurs traded a 2025 first rounder to move up two spots!@!"), but I don't think they make the playoffs, anyway, so it's like giving them their two SRPs back. Think about, at least.
Ultimately, I think Castle and Dillingham are the two bets I want to take in this draft, and if I can get both, then I'm happy:
Dillingham
- Excellent shooting
- Good passing (great lobs)
- Exceptional ball handling and quickness
- Clutch ability / scoring bursts
Castle
- Excellent defense
- Winning pedigree
- Good connection passer
- Won't need hand-holding
So, I'd definitely move up from 8 if the cost isn't that much.
