Spurs' Controversial Draft Targets: Genius or Disaster? 

Awesome. Thank u

...ja Morant Kyrie Jalen brunson all 6.2...darius Garland Trae young 6.1...so dillingham been 6.1 won't matter that much

Thanks I've been a spur fan since 78.LOYAL, AND STILL !!!!

Speed kills

@mkw5398 Sochan is not a wing. And he is a great defender.

Exactly. A guy like Buzelis or Sheppard would be a great addition.

I forgot Ron Holland. Would be a good pick at 8th.

Agreed. Think about the years between 07 and 14 chips. What happened was Bowens descent/Kawhi ascent. You need a wing that can defend. Sochan isnt quick enough for lot of Star 2s and definitely not 1s Everyone acting like Spurs world is on fire cause no pg just seemed like they didn’t watch too much games. Yes they could use a pg but defenders are much more needed, that’s why I prefer Castle over the other two pg

@mkw5398 Keldon is a small wing. Sochan is closer to a true PF than a big wing. That should have been his progression last year instead of the PG experiment.

Do you live in 2014? I ask that because Spurs is one of the worst team shooting 3p, and you add to guys who can't shoot... Or maybe you want to tank for next draft?

@@aspleen1102 did you leave in 2013 the spurs has the worst defense as a team you want to add guys who can shoot but not defend maybe you want to tank for the next draft.

It's my opinion and point of view who ever player the spurs draft I will be okay with it because I trust the process

@@ricardo1546 You have guys on this draft who can shoot *and* Defend, you could also choose one with good D and one with good shooting. But no you choose two guys who can't shoot...

​@@aspleen1102imagine they tanked and then got cooper flagg or ace bailey😭

I agree. ☝🏻

Zach edey to the heat?

I like this line up a lot.

Dillingham 10?

Dillingham would drive Gregg Popovich crazy because he plays no defense. Pop would yell, “Rob, get back on D.” And Rob would respond, “What’s D?”

Nice picks.

Castle yes. Topic bad knees, Dillingham plays no defense. Steppard is more of a combo. Pass on all three!

Thank u

Unless we sweeten the deal and trade our 4th pick and Keldon Johnson to move up in the draft for Risacher we won’t get him. As far as Castle, unless we’re looking to take him for PG which makes no sense with Nikola being the better facilitator we should not draft him. Because Castle is a poor shooter and so is Sochan. Aside from Castle and Sochan both being defensive powerhouses, their poor shooting combination together could spell disaster for our Spurs from an offensive stand point. Despite Castle and Sochan playing 2 different positions both guys pretty much have the same strengths and weaknesses so we don’t need both.

100% agreed… Risacher, Buzelis or my favorite, Knecht

The only people that talk about being serious with Garland is the news media. They have no idea who we're going to trade or draft for and the other question is going to be just how much is Garland going to cost? They ain't getting him cheap.

Yup

Risacher (trade up) and Holland.

It wasn't a stupid experiment. We got Wemby from r it. Think big picture....in Spurs I trust 😉

It could b possible that this draft sucks so bad that unless they get Risacher they just draft the two best pg n then esperiment who to keep n package the other for trade. Also everyone ignoring the 2 2nd rd picks hopefully we can sneak in a np name w/ potential

I've had enough of Spurs players that can't play defense! What's good about shooting if you can't stop the other team from out shooting you in the first place?

@@WembysCastlei thought Sochan is good on D ? 😂

@@borisabilana6836 he is. The PG Experiment Fd with his game, it effected his game. Did you not see the last game Against the Phoenix suns? The game winning shot , look at his defense and rebounding , it took till about mid March for Sochan to bounce back to his normal self after the experiment

Defense has been a hallmark of Spurs championship teams. It all begins there. Shooters can be added later. You need not score as much when you limit your opponents’ scoring.

@@WembysCastle We think alike, my friend. DEFENSE!

Topic

@@theetruth8626absolutely not. Topic will be a star in Europe in 5 years. Doesn’t have the burst of any athletic ability to get his own shot in the nba AND can’t shoot. Hell no. Castle and Rob or Salaun.

@@coachtimmeh6826 Luka and Jokic doesn't have the burst either how that's working out.

@@coachtimmeh6826 Nobody taking Salaun that high up in the draft. While neither Castle or Dillingham is spur type systemic players and wouldn't want to play for Pop.

@@theetruth8626 except topic is a terrible shooter. You seriously just compared him to two of the most deadly offensive players ever….

dillingham/castle/sheppard at 8

risacher wont be available at 4, and topic wont be available at 8

@@kristianpomida8259 Just say NO to No-Defense Dillingham.

Defensive juggernaut and offensive team with VW running the Point Forward slot in Year 2.

Reed

Historically, the Spurs have fielded defensive-mined teams. Not shooting teams.

@@sarahmccoy1941 "historically" don't work in 2024 NBA. I have nothing against D. But D without shooting = L.

Definitely agree with that

That's not true he's only been hurt twice in his career. And since the camp for the NBA global is next week everyone in the league is going to find out just how bad he's hurt Joe because he's going to be at that camp.

@@rolandmiller5456 DAMAGED GOODS SON

@@rolandmiller5456 FACT

THANK YOU N.B.A SWISH!! WE THINK A LIKE.NICE

@joereyna1116 nice. 👍🏻

Castle and Holland

Holland yes. Dilly NO

@@sarahmccoy1941 dilly would be amazing on offense shoots over 44% from three and is super fast in the P&R for Wemby 🔥 promise you’ll love him

👍 At least Castle is projected to be a good D. Topic have nothing for him... Just his long neck.

@@aspleen1102topic is easily the best playmaker and best slasher in the draft. Has one of the highest true shooting% and is one of the youngest players in the class. Also His 3P shows potential considering his solid shooting form, mid range shooting, and elite ft%. Also the questions about his defense are overstated imo.

@@Dflootie Topic is not a slasher (sure he can drive, but he's a below average dunker) his bounce his so low. His TS% is far away from "the highest" faaaaaaaaar away. If you want (one of) the best TS% of this draft: Reed Sheppard. Can shoot can finish, can pass, and can produce D despite of his frame.

@@aspleen1102 you don’t have to dunk to be a slasher??? None of the elite guards in this draft are as good as him at driving to the rim. Which is why he’s got a higher ts% than the other options at the top. I like reed a lot but he isn’t a primary ball handler, and is levels behind topic and castle as a creator.

Castle shot 18/25 at the combine from 3. Dont feel like shooting is something you need to woory about with Castle.

risacher wont be available at 4

@@gf5050 yes he will

@@theetruth8626 u just dont know, u wish, most mock draft have him top3....

@@gf5050 u don't know that's the problem Risacher is a project and those top picks are going for the most insure players.

@@theetruth8626 all these kids are projects at that stage. topic, castle, ivey, buzelis, dilli are as must projects as risacher. but risacher has more potential considering his age, position, size, skills and experience (pro ball in france) hence top3. sarr is probably the only sure shot at 1. the most insure players? is that a typo coz it makes no sense. there s no "sure" players in this draft, unlike last yr.

Nice. 👍🏻

You need to stop smoking whatever you're smoking. Nobody's going to go for a deal like that.

No to CP3. Too old and too much money.

topic is impossible to play at 4 a pass first point guard who is undersized could never play at 4 what are u on

@@rolandmiller5456 they can get cp3 in bargain after they waive the contract in other team

@@SUSSYBAKA-mp9nk but as of now topic is injury prone for young player I will get Ben Simmons

Video in the works talking about this. Lol. Great point

As if it was as easy as that. 😂

Topic yes, if his knees are going to be okay. But under no circumstances, No-Defense Dillingham. There should be better players available at 8 than Knecht.

@@sarahmccoy1941 I can't think of one at 8. Especially within the fit spurs need/want

the idea that he can't shoot is overstated. He's a 90% FT shooter which has been a much bigger indicator of 3point shooting in the NBA than actual 3p shooting. He also has an incredible ability to finish around the rim with either hand. He is already considerably more skilled than Simmons. Simmons, however, is an elite defender, unlike Topic.

@@WildParty true coming from a Guy, who doesn't watch Euro league 🫢

@@ey3_Scr3am yeah simmons, including his college stats, is a 60% ft shooter. Basically Shaq level.

@@WildParty Oh My God, you truly don't watch Basketball, Your Lying, everybody knows when he was in LSU he's assets where his ball Handling skills & attacking the rim with his big built, & Quick Decision making from Passing the Ball, the Cons about him is that He doesn't have the ability to Shoot, Stop Lying Man, your just making an argument for the sake if making an argument 🤡

That's got to be one of the most incredibly stupid remarks I've ever read anywhere about a player in my life. Topic is nowhere near Ben Simmons. The only issue she's got is a shooting from the outside and the injuries.

Damn.

TOO DAMNED OLD TO HELP A YOUNG TEAM
