I'd say that you don't worry about next year's draft and you draft the best players that are available. If that is a PG (say, Dillingham) and you're in a position to take Traore next year and he is the best player and fit available, you do it and figure it out then. Worst case scenario is that you...

If his shot isn't falling, he's super quick and can get into the lane. Pretty different than Parker, but they both could more or less get to wherever they wanted to go. Dillingham's playmaking is pretty underrated. Not a genius passer, but he makes snap passes and sees them well, most important he...

So first off you agree with me that Sheppard is the better defender so that's a start, even though you do about a good a job of articulating that as the Fonz trying to say he's wrong (can't do). Now the part about Sheppard shoots 10% higher, but that's because he takes easier shots. Pretty shaky,...

US of course catches some of the stink for supporting the campaign against ICC / smearing palestinian NGOs... and of course it was worse under trump

I can see those rationales, I just feel like Dillingham is the best talent and potentially transforms the Spurs. I also think he could go higher than anyone right now expects or that Detroit/Charlotte will get smart about this. I like Sheppard, but think he's more limited than I'd wish. Anyway,...

Dillingham can become a great playmaker and impact the game even with his shot isn't falling. Sheppard and Vassell at guards would mean we need a point forward.

I can see the case for Castle over Dillingham at 4. I don't love it but if you can manage to get both of them (or Risacher/Dilly) it's a coup. Sheppard though, no, even though I like him and he'd make a nice consolation prize. I'd prefer to take a swing at Dillingham's upside all day. To me he has...

My problem with Dillingham is if his shot isn't falling what does he give you? With Castle he gives you size and defense, with Sheppard he gives you defense and BBIQ, but Dilly has a bad shooting night and how is he not just Branham with extra steps? Comes down to will Dilly learn defense vs...

And what hole have been hidin' in the past few months, ya damn corn holer, you?

Dillingham has been a roller coaster for me. My first sim I mocked with Cody Williams and Rob Dillingham back in March or something. If you watched UK Wildcats it was a horse race with Dillingham first, then discovering Reed Sheppard and kind of going back and forth as to who would be best in SA. ...

Genius! i never thought about considering pick 8 in relation to pick 4.

Can we talk about Dalton Knecht for a minute? At first blush, I was completely out on a 23 year old until I found out the dude grew 5 inches since high school, and subsequently moved up from the lowest ranks of college basketball into big time D1. I have to think twice about his being maxed out...

Sheppard wasn't good enough for full time point guard duties in college, he has zero chance whatsoever to be a point guard in the NBA. Why is Sheppard a better shooter? Please find me some of his deep shots off the dribble, contested or while he's still moving? Then you look at Dillingham's shot...

He is in Dallas working out with Melvin Sanders C7j_tADs3aV

Yea that's exactly what I was thinking amazing let's all just agree with your take

Castle is my pick at #4 barring Risacher or maybe Sarr. Cool thing with Castle is Spurs fans talk about taking a SF and a PG but with Castle being wing ish size while also saying he wants to play PG you can take him at #4 and then take whomever you want with #8 because wing or guard Castle...

The guy at Utility Sports suggested we trade #4 Wesley/Branham and a few 2nds to go up two spots for the #2 pick in the draft to ensure we get Sarr or Risarchet which isnt a bad idea.

Correct and no need to talk down simply having a spurs conversation....and I'm talking about time and striking while iron is hot and getting hotter players are starting to want to join up. Everyone knows upside but it's time we are fighting why would I want to even waste one season with Wemby. Get...

He's too risky for the 4 when you can have either Castle or Sheppard there. Sheppard can at least maybe be the next Mark Price or something, he's a safer pick that Dilly. Better shooter, bigger, better defender. I think Dilly is a nice flyer at 8 though. If he can outscore his man, then I am...

Some hybrid between Jalen Suggs and Marcus Smart as his 75 percentile outcome. I think he's not very high in stat based models because of mainly his shooting efficiency obviously, but also his low steal rate. But Hurley's defenses depress steal rates big time, Castle averaged 3 ST and 2 BL per game...

what the actual fuck. ok, time to change password.

Hundred percent agree. The worst defender in the draft, to me, isn't like a Dillingham, who really was trying and improving, but didn't really know what he was doing. The worst was Isaiah Collier, who just didn't give a crap.

Probably some dumb rule against it, like in football how you can't jump on someone to block a kick. I guess it does carry some elevated injury risk.

Almost zero chance Spurs draft Edey imo. Would be shocked. I think OKC takes Edey at 12 to help combat Wemby. They lack size on the interior as is and they know Chet cant guard Wemby. Edey cant either, but it gives them some interior help to combat him and teams like Minny. Unless Cody Williams is...

Risk repeating myself but with some new stuff. - Dude apparently shot 21/45 contested on threes, 21/43 uncontested on threes. That's 46.7% contested/guarded on threes, 48.8% on open threes. This means... it had absolutely no effect on him when he was guarded. That's completely wild to me. -...
