Good stuff.
Danny Green is a good comp for Risacher. Risacher plays small, so the size difference matters little, and he can't dribble to save his life. I guess the size difference lets him get shots off slower while Green was faster. The thing, of course, is paying such a high pick on a role-player, but it's one that's needed.
I'm glad to see Topic rated so low. His fit doesn't make sense.
Glad to see Buzelis above Salaun. A wild swing at a 'raw tools' player isn't needed right now. Buzelis has a way to go, but has a higher floor. Salaun just reads as a physical marvel who will never put it together.
Castle is perfect, if there's clarity about this desire to play point guard.
And places like reddit think Dillingham is the worst player in the world. He's a better pick than Sheppard for us.
Ultimately, glad to hear they're very optimistic with this draft. It's much better than how much it's getting on. Would I be happy being Washington, having to pick between two tightly restricted role-players in Clingan or Risacher? No. Would I be happy picking as the Spurs, who know very clearly what is working now, and can place two good prospects around their centerpiece? Absolutely.
