Why? You have wembanyama and vessel to compensate the defence. This team needs scoring and shot creation not defence. Take Brunson on the Knicks. He's the scorer, creator and the other guys defence hides his lack of defence
Vessell is already a starting guard at the 2 and will never move to the 3. Spurs will be taking Dilly at 4 and then a SF at 8, probably Knecht . Taking 2 guards would defeat the build.
As a kid who grew up in southeastern Kentucky in the same town as Reed Sheppard, watching him turn into a national sensation is so inspiring, I really want him to play with wembanyama on the spurs cause that pick and roll would be lethal
Why is everyone sleeping on Salaun?? Go watch last Cholet game in the French playoffs. I am convinced he is a top 5 pick. My Blazers should grab him at #7
I really don't get why everyone is so high on Topic. I get he's a great playmaker but haven't we learnt our lesson on guards that can not shoot at all. He's a terrible defender. He literally has no scoring upside, he's literally a 1 level scorer. Uses his speed to drive and layup which will not work in the nba. Also, after the knee injury, he clearly has lost a lot of his speed. He has a mediocre handle too, he honestly has no bag, no creativity at all. Very predictable, defenders know exactly what he wants to do.
What do u think of Jesse Edward and Quinten Post, both got a call to participate in the combine just wondering if there is a possibility for my fellow dutchies to be drafted?
As a jazz fan I say we pick either Cody willams or Ron holland, whoever is available at 10, also Danny ainge ols tank next year and trade lauri for picks
Buzelis shot 27% from 3 on decent volume. His jumper looks off to me, and it looks like he has different form off the bounce than he does off the catch, which I also dont like. He's got good upside but his jumper needs a tweak imo
No way I’m taking someone in the top 6 that can’t shoot in today’s league. I’ve just seen too many guys that are a jump shot away never develop their shot.
Can anyone of you that do mock drafts give the SPURS anybody but Topic its like you nerds just have him locked in with the Spurs. We are not drafting him at 4 maybe @ 8 and he's hurt. I would prefer Castle @4 and Dillingham @ 8.
I've been really annoyed with Buzelis being mocked to my Pistons so much. Cuz it has nothing to do with the game of basketball. Buzelis's agent is the son of Arn Tellem, who's a super high executive in the Pistons organization. So it's all this politicking going on, I really don't think the Pistons care too much for Buzelis, but the higher ups also don't care about putting out a good, winning product so they're gonna do what makes one of their bosses happy; and that pisses me off. At least give me a top tier defensive talent like Holland or Castle so we can pair them with Thompson and we can go back to having the elite detroit defenses of old. Buzelis is like average to meh at everything.
u guys desperately need shooting. that’s why you guys lost so many games, not the defense. you guys have goons. you got ausar, cade, QG, and sasser. taking 23 threes a game won’t cut it in 2024. the way defenses would collapse on cade made your offense bad.
But he's not that bad as a player. Its not like they are picking a terrible guy at 5th pick. They need size and a guy who can play like SF/PF role. Besides Detroit should keep tanking till the NBA rigs the draft for them
Go video straight into the trash! Spurs who selects topic and dillingham wtf and it goes smoothly! Anything Don't watch 36 minutes of video it's a waste of time
ur doing exactly what you audience wants with sharing the draft combine info w us and always giving us different iterations of things. keep it up matt!
Nikola Topic is the perfect fit for the Spurs organization. They love foreign-born basketball players. Topic is young and very talented. He needs to work on shooting the ball better and to improve his defense. But he seems to have the tools to be a very good point guard in the NBA. With Topic, the Spurs do not need Rob Dillingham. They have Tre Jones and they will likely add a veteran guard though trade or free agency. Ron Holland, Dalton Knecht, or Cody Williams would likely be their pick at #8. Best playersavailable with their two second-round picks.
Risacher to the wizards should not be getting mocked, he doesn’t have superstar upside while some of these other prospects have superstar upside like Nikola topic and Stephon castle. The wizards are going to take an upside swing. He’s also the only one that doesn’t fit because they already have a bunch of wings with bilal, deni, and kispert.
Analysts are emotionally wedded to the idea of Topic in a Spurs jersey and they're mocks reflect this wishful thinking. With the plethora of wings in Washington already and the fact that their starting PG is on a contract set to expire this offseason, Topic to Washington is the obvious, no brainer selection that I can't see a halfway competent organization passing on.
@@robojimtv The team isn't even contending for a play in spot, so they'd likely red shirt him and have him play the latter half of the season after all star break.
No chance the Spurs draft topic, this dude has injury-prone written all over his face. Anyone but him. As long they get 2 of these players the Spurs are good : Zaccharie, Rob Dillingham, castle, Dalyon Knecht, Reed Sheppard, Clingan, and Holland.
@@Lil-Bro-101 I don’t disagree, it def could take some time for him to come back to 100% but I think the Dallas medical team is too good to let him get injured along the way. They are renown as the best medical team in the entire NFL.
Hey Jazz fan here. To be completely honest we are pissed about slipping 2 spots. There were a few guys we liked around 8, but at 10, not much. I think it’s likely we trade this pick to either move up, or package it to get a star like Trae Young. 10 is a tough slot to be. I think Danny Ainge really likes Cody Williams in that range.
You’re correct the top picks are weird because those teams don’t need those players (so those are best player available picks) but the one team that can get a need met and the best player is the Rockets taking Dillingham to be the backup pg and instead of hoping that Amen develops a jump shot let’s believe that Jalen will continue to shoot as well as he did in the 11 game winning streak and we don’t have to replace Jalen with Reed
it’s really cool you were able to go there giving you a better perspective on these prospects and relay all this info back to us good job bro keep it up
Terrance Shannon is probably the best two way prospect in this draft, he guarded the best player every game, and he was top 7 in scoring while missing 6 games. He is athletic enough and his shooting is definitely above average, he is gonna be scary good in the NBA
I totally agree. I was blown away with him during the second half of his season and I’ve been following mocks to see if anyone is onto him, and it just seems like he’s done nothing but drop or he left off due to the legal issues. I get that if he’s convicted it changes evertbring, but if he isn’t? Just as a player? He seems like he might be the most plug and play on ball scorer in this draft. I think everyone is down on him cuz of his age, but idk man. He is SO fast, his shot has been not only passable, but at times elite, especially his ability to shoot pull up deep 3s at will similar to Knecht, and his toughness and determination on the break reminds me of a lefty Jaylen Brown or a little slower bigger John wall. The man went crazy ! Idk. If he gets a shot and the charges go away I think he can be a 20 ppg guy at the next level I really do.
@@schuylersavage276at this point in time, you have 60-90 prospects, only one is potentially looking at SA charges. It’s kind of obvious why a team would avoid it. It’s not about deciding the guys guilty, it’s about what you want your brand associated with and what risks you’re willing to take.
Not sure why some idiot at BR would ever have Harrison Ingram going to my NYK’s @25, let alone drafted in the 1st round!! And I would definitely take Jaylon Tyson, Johnny Furphy, Bobi Klintman, Jamir Watkins or Justin Edwards before Ingram. Even before Keyshawn George. I really want them to take 2 plus sized Wings this draft.
As a Jazz fan we want a SF Cody Williams or Ron Holland. I think if we can get a 3 & D guy or a slasher at the wing, then we can resemble the days of having AK47 perhaps.
Mark Sears once again is hella underrated, I hope he comes back to college to win a championship at Bama, but he’s good enough to be late 1st early 2nd, I’d put money on it, yes he is short, but when you’re that good it doesn’t matter.
I hope Blazers pick up Holland, we’ve needed a 3 so bad for the longest time. Ever since Mo Harkless left we’ve been putting out three guard lineups and old ass veterans at the 3.
Just a question am I the only one who don't believe in Buzelis celling because everytime he gets credit for being good in the future. Sorry but the guy doesn't shooting well in terms of percentages (season or draft combine).
as a jazz fan the pipe dream is castle somehow drops but realistically i’d want any kind of wing depth or a guard to play along keyonte so the guys i like the most are cody williams, ron holland, or isaiah collier
I always appreciate how bleacher reports puts some click bait in just about all of their mocks. Like you know they haven’t heard some of these players being picked in this area but they say just enough to get us to click on it. Love the content brother.
Chicago should go best player available, guard or not. Coby and Ayo aren’t the solutions and they need to start moving pieces for picks. There’s def going to be gems at the end of the 1st round and maybe even the second round
@@fpl_djhammer 2inch shoes? Are you stupid? 😂 real scouts say he’s 6’2 with shoes because there not idiots who think reed is wearing sketchers shape shoes 🤣🤣
Spurs are not drafting two PGs that both are bad on defense. There's 0% chance. Its like they let AI decide these mock drafts
I say they take Rob Dillingham and Ron Holland
Why? You have wembanyama and vessel to compensate the defence. This team needs scoring and shot creation not defence.
Take Brunson on the Knicks.

@@JackT-7 So what if one is your starter and one is your sixth man?
I mean options aren’t exactly plentiful….
Remember Holland being the number 1 prospect not to long ago? Surprised he’s going at 9
All I will say is people are overthinking him, seems to have the most star potential in the class imo
Bro missed like the last half of the season and everyone forgot about him. If someone lands him past 7 it’s a steal.
They overthinking already
ANOTHER mock without Trey Alexander. He is one of my favorite prospects this year. The slander is insane.
As a kid who grew up in southeastern Kentucky in the same town as Reed Sheppard, watching him turn into a national sensation is so inspiring, I really want him to play with wembanyama on the spurs cause that pick and roll would be lethal
I want Tyler smith so bad as a suns fan
Ur trying to tell me Bronny is 6’1 but Reed Sheppard is 6’4?
Why is everyone sleeping on Salaun?? Go watch last Cholet game in the French playoffs. I am convinced he is a top 5 pick. My Blazers should grab him at #7
NY got kolik and Mckullar jr. Carrington made the lottery -- Blazers -- traded to Wizards wow. Scheierman coming to Boston #30

Heat needs offense.

But I like Devin Carter for the Heat. He plays both sides of the court.
What do u think of Jesse Edward and Quinten Post, both got a call to participate in the combine just wondering if there is a possibility for my fellow dutchies to be drafted?
I feel the spurs should select Donovan clingan with the 4th pick and make twin towers 2.0 & the eighth pick select a PG
I want hornets to draft castle/kinecth/clingan and maybe trade up w their second pick somehow to get edey
As a jazz fan I say we pick either Cody willams or Ron holland, whoever is available at 10, also Danny ainge ols tank next year and trade lauri for picks
