yeah. Should have checked this before. my bad.
So in a two picks scenario it might be for example 4 and 7, or 6 and 7. and if my preferred combination of Risacher and McCain isn‘t possible, because Risacher is off the board, then I‘d like to see Castle and McCain, if Castle is still there.
Both are fantastic combos in the event TOR conveys.
I was saying in the 2024 Draft thread to focus on guards or small wings in 2024 with Castle & McCain and then load up on some 6'8"+ players next year in the 2025 draft. By 25-26 you're balanced and deep.
Yep, the 2025 has legit so much more talent it is like night and day with this class and I am not just talking about Cooper Flagg - I would cry tears of joy if we were able to get Hugo Gonzalez or Tre Johnson as I think both are going to be studs at the SG position.
After reading that big board, kind of hard to get too excited
You think the Spurs are really going to leak out to scouts that Dillingham is their top choice?
Especially when they are projected to land in the 5-7 range.
A clever smokescreen as they have someone else at the top of their draft board.
Dylan Harper looks like their dream PG tbh. If he shows out at Rutgets this upcoming season, he's a top 3-5 pick easily and I think would be a primary Spurs target (even over Flagg tbh).
Doesn't matter who the point guard target is when Wizards are the only compe ion for a point guard pick, others won't even consider drafting a point guard.
Geez, my uneducated first impression is to draft one of the Kentucky guards or trade down/out and hope the Toronto pick conveys in 2025. I can't get excited about players who can't shoot anymore; we're full.
This was what I was thinking, Topić AND Dilly!

My personal Big Board
1. Robert Dillingham
2. Zaccharie Risacher
3. Jared McCain
4. Nikola Topic
5. Dalton Knecht
a couple of risacher highlights from his previous game appear here early on
Would be nice to get a comprehensive off season primer with what both what you’re hearing and what you think team should do. Free agency, trades and draft all encompassing plan with maybe sort of a “aggressive, normal and passive” paths laid out.
Against common wisdom I would daft Edey especially if we get both 1st round picks.
Really think that two 7'4" players passing the ball to each other for dunks could break the NBA.
Also who are you going to double with Edey and Wemby on the floor?
Has anyone looked up Devin Carter? The more that I watch his film, the more I think he needs to given more consideration. I don't know if he's on the Dillingham or Topic level, but he's easily better than Collier to me and should be at the top of tier 2 or bottom of tier 1 point guards. Great defender and playmaker, and his shot improved this year as well. 8.7 rebounds/game, 1.8 steals, and 1 block for a 6-3 guard to go with 37% from three. Only drawback is he's 22 years old, but I don't see why he can't be on a Derrick White late bloomer trajectory.
At this point if SA gets TOR pick, I hope SA walks away with both Dillingham and Zaccharie Risacher.
Seems like a perfect outcome in terms of potential, need (shooting) and overall pedigree. I have concerns about every player and Im not overly excited about anyone at this point, but those 2 seem like it would be about as good as it can be.
If Spurs can land pick 2/3 and 7/8, I think walking away with Risacher and Dillingham would be celebrated
thats my best case scenario
In this draft I have a hard time seeing Dillingham fall to 7/8, but you never know!
Watching film of Zaccharie Risacher I can't help but see Sean Elliott. Anyone seeing the same?
Would be amazing if this happens. But even Riascher and Topic or Riascher and Castle would make me happy.
If we believe timvp’s big board though, this likely isn’t going to happen, because if the Spurs land a top 3 pick, they’re using it on Dillingham, and Riascher will be long gone by 7/8.
Big big fan of him and I totally agree he’s the leading candidate to be the Derrick White of this draft, it’s hard to see him going near the spurs pick but I see him rising to picks 12-20.
I wonder why Hunter Sallis doesn't get more love. (or at least more interest)
yes, I can see, that his years with Gonzaga hurt his stock. on the other hand, he did play good defense there (or learned to play good defense), but didn't shoot well.
with Wake he shot well and played good offense. for a Junior he is still on the younger side.
what I like about him: size, body type and athleticism is pretty similar to Dejounte Murray. he has all the tools to become a DJM type defender in the NBA. combine this with some playmaking and shooting, and you might ge a very nice pick at 35.
That would be my ideal if they're keeping the picks instead of trading for a vet, but you'd probably need to draft #2 and #3 to get Rob and Risacher.
I think this draft will be fairly easy comparatively to trade up. So if Spurs need to move up they should be able to use pick 7+ some 2nds or maybe a first like CHA to do so Im guessing.
