spurs already had scottie in Castle. They got two of them now

It’s crazy that 3 straight drafts gave us a superteam. Wemby, Castle and Harper literally #1, #2 and #3 guys that all teams crave for championships.

I almost feel bad for other lottery teams because he would’ve been huge for their franchises.

Eh I would feel bad if he was with a guy like Jokic, but with Wemby he can still run a lot of the offense.

Ya! There are other good players from this class, no doubt. I was just shouting out the top five (especially the top 4) cause they look like future all nba guys sooner rather than later.

I love Cedric Coward too, dude is gonna be real good.

Ya I was being nice to the Jazz fans out there haha (Ace did look really good at the end of the season though! I’m excited to see his development as the Jazz become a legitimate team)

Ace’s rookie year obviously wasn’t as impressive as the top 4 but he’s closer to that tier in skill than he is to the picks below him. He’s very raw but he developed a lot and if you watched any Jazz games towards the end of the year you’d see he’s poised to become one of the best 3&D players in the league, really great athleticism and effort. When discussing how good the draft class was he deserves to be in that discussion imo.

Ace had a rough start but was legitimately very impressed with him towards the end.

I think Flagg would’ve done just fine playing for the Spurs

Agree but I also don’t think it really mattered what team the first three dudes went to.

Pretty good lol. Just curious, what are your parameters for what an insane draft class would be?
Flagg is breaking pretty much every record for his age.
Harper is one of the most efficient and well rounded rookies of all time.
Edgecombe looks like a future superstar who has already had a 30 point game in a playoff win.
Kon was the first rookie ever to lead the league in made threes.
There are very few draft classes with four future hall of famers as the first four picks, and that doesn’t even include Ace or the other promising young players from this class.

Maxime Raynaud could definitively have been drafted much earlier though…

the only weakness of this spurs is mental lapses and trying to push limits rather than just being technicians. A lot of this is on Wemby.

It’s a stupidly high (and unfair) bar, but 2014 spurs in 2nd quarter would have completely dusted the wolves. There was 6-8 minutes where it was turnovers and hero ball.

Again, the right play is just get into standard set rather than the ego play. Wemby doesn’t need to be Hakeem today to win. He is allowed to let these guards cook. He doesn’t have to be Duncan. And he does not need to be steph. He just needs to play within himself (aka not “red pointing”). If Wemby does that, they can legit win the championship.

guarantee my raptors snag Morez from right under you at 19

While Champagnie is not a true four, he’s still playing a pretty damn good stretch four for us. Shooting the ball, playing defense, and crashing the boards.

Go get Rui

Fox for Markannen?

It would be interesting if they pick up a serviceable center and have Vic play 1 on defence and 2 on offence. Unfortunately there aren’t many starting centers available… Hence our backup bigs mostly being garbage time guys.

Spurs should go ask the Nuggets for AG. I know he’s a part time player, but it would give them more veteran presence while they wait for Carter-Bryant to develop. His contract has a player option the same year that Castle’s rookie extension would kick in - it’s fairly reasonable to imagine that by that point you can extend him at a lower price point (or just trade him as an expiring).

The only question is what you’d give back… Barnes and Olyknik are expiring this season, and I don’t see why the Nuggets would want them.

eyyy Julian “Danny Green from TEMU” is better than Bryant (at the moment)

Yk what can’t hate the player.

We have eyes everywhere.

Legitimately chuckled

Silver: hey brian wright here’s harper take him but shut the fuck up!

No cuz id stop watching the NBA

That’s just too much, it couldn’t be allowed

So what happens to Fox in that scenario lol

It’s funny how the draft makes an almost bad thing into a great thing.
Like blood clots can be really bad, up to career ending bad. That would’ve been D-Rose levels of disappointment for a franchise. Buuuut it was pretty much fine, so instead the spurs get a dynasty out of it.

I dream about this sometimes. We would be so hated. And we’d just have to accept it.

According to Lowe it was literally a 50:50 to get Flagg.

You can’t tell me Dallas was well managed after giving Luka away for Anthony Davis and a bag of chips

There’s no way y’all think billionaire owners would be ok with the league rigging it for teams lmao

i would be interested in the stats, because to me it really feels like he is always sharing minutes with Fox/Castle, and is very very rarely lead ballhandler when they are on. He gets way fewer touches than he deserves, and literally every time he gets it something great happens.

Fox is faster and more experienced, but Harper is smarter and more well-rounded. Fox doesn’t even rebound. I think Harper would outperform Fox this series if he had the same PT, but could be wrong.
