getting Shepherd and Topic would be fine for me I guess. everyone of these mock drafts is so different, I don't think they have any real idea, if I take anything away from it all it's that on draft Day the actual draft is going to look different from what pretty much anybody expects. with the Spurs 2 picks, I would be happy with any combination of Clingan, Shepherd, Dilly, Topic, or zastle.
1. Sarr - ATL 2. Risacher - WAS 3. Clingan - HOU 4. Castle - SAT 5. Buzelis - DET 6. Sheppard - CHA 7. Holland - POR 8. Salaun - SAT 9. Knecht - MEM 10. Topic - UT That's my top-10 mock as of right now.
My issue with Reed is there's too many big guards in the West, Luka/SGA/Murray/Booker etc. I don't think he has the wingspan or weight to guard these guys.
93 Players pull out of 2024 NBA draft. 4 players that I thought would be a good summer/G league invite were among them. Ugonna Kingsley Onyenso Center From: Kentucky (Nigeria) HT: 7-0 WT: 230, Coleman Hawkins Power Forward From: Illinois HT: 6-10 WT: 215, Jaxson Robinson Guard From: BYU HT: 6-7 WT: 190, and Matthew Murrell -SG FROM: Mississippi HT: 6-4 WT: 200 (TWO WAY)
I have a feeling that it won't matter right away who we draft, because Pop is going to the same starting line-up he used this spring. My great hope is that Jeremy, Julian, and Tre all boost their 3 pt.% enough to start to make opponents think twice about double teaming Vic. Blake Wesley is another candidate for a leap this summer. Reps, chemistry, confidence: give the current kids a chance. I think both Tre and Julian are undervalued by many fans. Just draft the best athletes that fall to us and plug them in when and IF they are needed.
Reed is the best pick at #4 if he's available. Best shooter (and consistent) high IQ on both side of the court, great off ball, and good D despite his size. (also he have nice bounce 42 inches was the best at the draft combine) All those who like Topic don't understand we are not in 2014 anymore. old school bb (where everyone is good at one thing and bad at everything else) don't work anymore. No one will respect Topic range, therefore his D will be on Wemby or cloging the paint. With Sochan brick launcher Spurs might ber worst the next season because of that...
Fredette I mean Reed is gonna get cooked nightly in the NBA. He's only 6 1 barefoot. He cant drive and will be a spot up shooter at the next level. Wemby gonna be carrying him on offense AND defense. Dillingham is the pick at PG with no Topic
@@Swervedaplumber 6'1.75" without shoes at the draft combine. You undervalue to much D IQ. Mike Conley 5'11" with 6'5.75" wingspan. (CraftedDPM 1.2 / DDARKO 0.9 / DDRIP 1.1 / DBPM 1.4) Fred Vanvleet 6' with 6'2 wingspan one of the best D metrics of any PG, with one ring (Raptors) (CraftedDPM 1.7 / DDARKO 1.2 / DDRIP 0.9 / DBPM 0.8) *Small PG can work with the right D IQ and the right team.* Malaki Branham, 6'4 with 6'10" wingspan is the worst D of the NBA (CraftedDPM -2.5 / DDARKO -1.8 / DDRIP -1.8 / DBPM -2.2). Some guys value to much physical tool over D IQ... cf *CraftedNBA*
@@aspleen1102 Mike has a long wingspan to cover up his height, while Malaki's defense isn't just about poor IQ, but he got shit lateral quickness for his size. Lateral quickness plays a big part on the defensive end, which separates Wemby from other 7'+ bigs. Good BBIQ can make a below-average body become an above-average defender, however they rarely become top defenders. Also, the reason why Fred was never in the discussion of the defensive 1st~2nd team. I can see Reed being a defender close to Steph(When he's younger) or even Fred, but he would never be a defender like Holiday, Smart, or D.White. Larger players will always prey on them no matter what because of the size difference, like what they did to Steph.
@@Leo-nc3yx I don't desagree on Reed's D ceiling, but I don't think there is need to be Elite D for a PG. A PG by default is not the best defender, if he's not a liability (like probably Reed) and score efficiently on the other side I'm 100% ok with that. But again you search reason to explain bad D on their athleticism that not always the case. Mo Bamba was a beast prospect, but near a bust in NBA... Sure having nice physical tool help, but you should learn from all those bad draft made only about athleticism...
@@Leo-nc3yx also FYI beeing 6'2 with 6'3 (in fact 6'1.75 +6'3.25 wingspan but who cares) is generally near the same than 5'11 with 6'6 (6'5.75" in fact) wingspan when you put your arm up to contest a shot. Mike have the same tool than Reed to contest any shot. Sure his wingspan help him more for stealing. But you know who was one of the best at stealing the ball? Reed (2.5 steal per game) because of his IQ. Also his bounce (42 inches) is great to elite, that why he was also so efficient contesting and blocking the ball (0.7 blocks per game)
I've seen report that the Spurs are interested in a new name, Devin Carter SG FROM: Providence HT: 6-3, WT: 193. This is what the NBA Draft Room say about him. " He’s a standout defender who can really lock down on the perimeter and get after ball handlers. He’s not the biggest guard but has a lot of strength, allowing him to defend either guard position and can hold his own against wings. He’s also an elite rebounder for a guard and really helps out the bigs on the glass. On the offensive end Carter is just as aggressive. He’s a powerful driver and good finisher in traffic. He’s also a high level 3pt shooter, hitting nearly 38% from 3 his junior season. He plays a steady, consistent and efficient game and brings it on both ends. Carter can run the point or play off the ball. He’s a heady player who makes winning plays all over the court." Looks like his shot is a bit slow to me.
Spurs should use second draft picks to get Edey. Edey at Center , Wemby at power forward, Vessel shooting guard, Ron at point guard and Sochan small forward. Last Castle coming of the bench.
I think you need a safer reliable or high upside pick at 4. Castle would be an instant upgrade or even one of the g league ignite players (I like holland potential). Topic would be hard to pass up at 8 but either way I like that order
The Spurs are not drafting 2 white guys. This was a terrible mock draft. One of the worst I've seen. I would be bummed if this was true. Maybe 1 of them at 8. I just hope the Spurs can pull off a Zaccharie and Castle heist.
I feel like we could regret not drafting Topic in a few years… but it would take some serious confidence in his abilities and future health to draft him now… I wouldn’t personally, maybe the Spurs FO knows better..
Taking 2 guards is so crazy especially when we are an abysmal defensive team. When will these mock drafts learn that sometimes you draft for need and the Spurs NEED a wing to play defense. Wemby is great but he do it by himself. Im all for getting a guard with the 4th or 8th but we cannot afford to skip on Cody Williams or Ron Holland and expect to get better defensively. If we were even middle of the pack in D this year we add so many more wins and Wemby probably wins DPOY
This mock draft does not make any sense to be honest 😅 No worries, Spurs have Castle secured at #4, they really want that tall defensive-minded dude at PG… Sochan was not the guy for the spot, Castle could very well be :) Also the fact that he played well as a wing, and not as a ball dominant PG in College will help him fit in very well along Wemby’s side. Wemby needs the ball in his hand A LOT… So Spurs just need a good defender with high bball IQ who can make entry passes at PG. His shooting sucks but his mechanics does not. He will improve. He’s our guy
Watching the Western Playoffs, I think the Spurs need strong perimeter defenders. I'd gamble on Castle and Holland. Castle played PG in high school so try him out for one season, alternating with Tre. If it doesn't work out, he and Holland have the size to match up against Luka, SGA, Antman, Murray. Spurs can sign or trade f9r a vet PG after next season.
Sup bro. So I was on instagram today and the Spurs official page posted a video about Sean Elliot being drafted in 1989 with the third overall pick. Is this a hint of what we want this year or just wind in the air? 🤔Go Spurs go.
Definitely happy with this, Potential lineup Castle Vassel Sochan at the 3 Tidjane at the 4 Wemby The Defensive switch ability with this lineup is and would be insane
yey!!! topic at 8!.. fine with that... still love topic... topic is a genious playmaker.. sheppard a dangerous threat beyond the arc, his depensive skills are awesome as well!.. 😁
I am not against getting Sheppard as he's the best shooter and seems like a great athlete, especially with Topic that could find him open often thanks to Wemby being guarded by 2 players. Although I'm not really into drafting Reed without a great facilitator like Topic. The downside of taking these 2 is that our defense is gonna be even worse than before -_- It'd be much better if we can get a shooter that can defend in pick 4, like Risacher, but it looks like he'll be gone before pick 4...
Last night ZR had a good game in the LNB play offs, so sad if the Spurs don’t get him. I. the French press, he has made clear that he wants to join an organization that will help him develop (and we all read Spurs! )
Even though they have produced good guards I’m cool on the Kentucky dual Sheppard & Dillingham and more than likely not getting Risacher. I’d take Castle 4th & either or Topic, Salaun, Buzelis, Holland or Williams at 8.
Stephon Castle would be a much better pick that Reed Sheppard at 4. I just do not like either of the two Kentucky guards. My concerns about Nikola Topic have to do with his injury issues. Prior to the injuries this spring, Topic would have been my pick for the Spurs at 4.
I changed my mind. Risacher is moving down the boards quick and now projected at the 7th or 8th spot. His shooting is all over the place. Sometimes its at 38% and then back to 20%. His defense of HORRIBLE. He only plays along the perimeter and doesn't move well without the ball, nor is he a shot creator or off the dribble penetrate. His shooting was so horrible, the opposing players now play off of him by 8 feet, daring him to shoot. He had 0 assist, 0 block shots, 0 steals, and 1 rebound average during the playoffs. Are you kidding me! They want the other players on his team to beat them because they know Risacher can't shoot, nor is he a threat. He also can't rebound or block shots as he never likes to get involved inside. He might break a nail or mess up his hair. The guy is exactly like Micheal Porter (Denver). Just making sure he looks good running down the court. Hate to say it, but he may end up being a role player off the bench then finally returning to France in 3 yrs to finish off his career. The NBA is just not his style. In other words, BUST alert! BUST ALERT!
@@sarahmccoy1941 Looks like You don’t know talent. Kenecht plug and play at his age shooter and scorer. You don’t have to wait for an 18 year old to acclimate to the next level when you got talent ready to go and Dilly is better than you think. Better than any of the PG out there right now in the draft except maybe Tristan Newton True PG Castle’s teammate. ua-cam.com/users/shortsJFadA81_lS4?si=MAl4WlDOQffFnIxs ua-cam.com/users/shortsJFadA81_lS4?si=MAl4WlDOQffFnIxs
Wemby has been clutch on the offense end. But the Spurs May now have the best defensive player in the league, I would think it’s a good idea to build on that strength and help keep him out of foul trouble with better defenders along side him. But I understand the desire for offensive players. It shows how many holes are on the roster.
I'll be ok with it but really want rob dillingham=parker 2.0 at 4 and nikola topic=manu 2.0 at 8 best pg's to pair with Spurs/wemby if he there if not dalton knecht at 8 🔥💯 get two best scorers 💯 new era spurs are set with any of those pairs
As a spurs fan we need to pick topic at 4 and Hollands at 8, we don't have size at the SF position and Holland would be perfect for the spurs and we need a pg who can create for the team topic has more upside then Reed I see Reed as more of a combo/ secondary ball handler not someone who can lead an offense and dillinham is too small that's why he dropped in the draft so please stay away from him spurs
These Mock draft people apparently don't know what they are doing? They keep thinking Spurs would pick 2 PGs. Now... I understand their reason as Spurs have been known for taking guards after guards. (Remember San Antonio Guards?) I would be very upset if Spurs pick guards then another guard. Definitely do not want Topic as he is already injury prone and does not seem to stand out. Shooting and defense is more important than passing IMO as neither Tony and Manu were pass first point guard and we did fine.
I don't think Reed would play as a facilitator there, he'd just shoot 3s I guess. Main issue with drafting those 2 is the defense :/ What Topic showed in the adriatic league is historic, I don't think we've ever seen such a great passer at such a young age there, and he's playing against grown ups. He has a crazy high basketball IQ but he has poor shooting and defense despite his size. I'd be interested in seeing what he can do with the Spurs; but I don't think it'll work so well without great shooters surrounding him, which is why they make us draft Reed Shephard, I guess.
Spurs are unlikely to take Dillingham. They want someone with some size at that position imo, and who isn't going to be a complete liability defensively. Much more likely they draft Topic at 8 if he's available or wait until next year to target someone like 6'4 Nalon Traore, who I like better as a PG prospect than anyone in this draft anyways.
You’re not gonna get Zackery at 4 the wizards will draft him but there is one way to get them. There’s my idea the wizards and the Spurs pull off a massive trade. Will you get the second pic and Jordan Poole to play point for you and the wizards get the fourth and eighth pick when those wizards draft their point guard which one of the point guards are there at 8 they draft Edey
castle cannot shoot well enough by test. Shep is over the top shooter for 3/s, PG at 8. I hope SAS buy Memphis pick or Houston pick... How about Salaun at 4 and Topic at 8.
Stephon castle shot 18/25 at the combine from 3. He shown he is a capable shooter and have the work ethic to get better. I dont think people need to worry about Stephon Castle shooting than other players in this draft.
The Spurs drafting Jimmy Fredette didnt the league already solve this non issue and showed emphatically its a failure? If the Spurs picks this bum... the new GM needs to go
He's not a BUM!! Thanks to low IQ, self appointed NBA executives like yourself it's probably in everyone's best interest that you're not an NBA executive... and you guys need to knock off the Jimmer Freddette shit too🤬

@@lecoolpotager6670 Castle say he's a PG. He sacrified himslef for the team playing out of his natural position.

Pass on Topic'
I'd be thrilled with Sheppard at 4. The dude is a baller. He is a lights out SHOOTER and a great athlete who knows how to play basketball.
My issue with Reed is there's too many big guards in the West, Luka/SGA/Murray/Booker etc. I don't think he has the wingspan or weight to guard these guys.
@@R-no59b You are exactly right!
Most NBA players are lights out shoots and are great athletes who know how to play basketball. But it take more than that to make it big in the NBA.
Shepherd reminds me of john Stockton and Steve Kerr... pure baller !
He is not a true point guard n he will b a bust . I like Dillingham better

Better than any of the PG out there right now in the draft except maybe Tristan Newton True PG Castle’s teammate.

CASTLE!!
Was is everyone so hung up on defense it’s wild with the rules and way the game is officiated offense is so much more valuable now
Wemby has been clutch on the offense end. But the Spurs May now have the best defensive player in the league, I would think it’s a good idea to build on that strength and help keep him out of foul trouble with better defenders along side him. But I understand the desire for offensive players. It shows how many holes are on the roster.
You cannot just outscore your opponent every night. If you could past coaches like Mike D’Antoni would have won championships.
@@sarahmccoy1941 Yes. And too many recent memories with Embid scoring 70, Brunson scoring 61, Maxey scoring 52 against the Spurs this year.
Saluan at 4 (if risacher already picked), cody at 8
Just hope Topic is not injured every 2 weeks..... If not i would not be mad at 8
I'll be ok with it but really want rob dillingham=parker 2.0 at 4 and nikola topic=manu 2.0 at 8 best pg's to pair with Spurs/wemby if he there if not dalton knecht at 8 🔥💯 get two best scorers 💯 new era spurs are set with any of those pairs
June 26 feels like a year away!!
Just gotta get the Finals over….
As a spurs fan we need to pick topic at 4 and Hollands at 8, we don't have size at the SF position and Holland would be perfect for the spurs and we need a pg who can create for the team topic has more upside then Reed I see Reed as more of a combo/ secondary ball handler not someone who can lead an offense and dillinham is too small that's why he dropped in the draft so please stay away from him spurs
These Mock draft people apparently don't know what they are doing? They keep thinking Spurs would pick 2 PGs. Now... I understand their reason as Spurs have been known for taking guards after guards. (Remember San Antonio Guards?) I would be very upset if Spurs pick guards then another guard. Definitely do not want Topic as he is already injury prone and does not seem to stand out. Shooting and defense is more important than passing IMO as neither Tony and Manu were pass first point guard and we did fine.
I don't think Reed would play as a facilitator there, he'd just shoot 3s I guess. Main issue with drafting those 2 is the defense :/
What Topic showed in the adriatic league is historic, I don't think we've ever seen such a great passer at such a young age there, and he's playing against grown ups. He has a crazy high basketball IQ but he has poor shooting and defense despite his size. I'd be interested in seeing what he can do with the Spurs; but I don't think it'll work so well without great shooters surrounding him, which is why they make us draft Reed Shephard, I guess.
3:18 WTF? Salaun is not a 41.5% at 3P lol he's not even a 33% at 3P.
his FG is below 40%...
🤷♂️
@@TSRSports50 Yes sorry I was not clear it's the mock draft who messed up his 3P% not you 🤓
We need defense. Shepherd isn’t the answer. Topic would be a great pick.
Dang, that's 3 french players in the top 6 😰
Besides US of course, I'm not sure a country ever had 3 players in the top 6, or even in the top 10 🤔
🤔
yes!!.... sheppard at 4!... 😁🫡
Dillingham and Salun
Let's see Cody Williams
REED AT 4 🤞
SHEPPARD!!!
NO!
REED AT 4
TO PLAY POINT
would be a disaster if the bulls did that
We want cody Williams
READY RICH !
#2 has a hereditary problem. Topic' IDK
Love it
Prefer Zach and Dilly
DILLI !!
Dillingham have been marked as one of the biggest loser after draft combine
Spurs are unlikely to take Dillingham. They want someone with some size at that position imo, and who isn't going to be a complete liability defensively. Much more likely they draft Topic at 8 if he's available or wait until next year to target someone like 6'4 Nalon Traore, who I like better as a PG prospect than anyone in this draft anyways.
@@bballer191 Nolan Traoré, another frenchie 🤔
Pickle
The spurs tend to do unorthodox things with their draft picks. I suspect we will all be surprised with the eighth pick…possibly even the fourth.
Mostly those surprises were bad ones on Brian Wright's reign...
You’re not gonna get Zackery at 4 the wizards will draft him but there is one way to get them. There’s my idea the wizards and the Spurs pull off a massive trade. Will you get the second pic and Jordan Poole to play point for you and the wizards get the fourth and eighth pick when those wizards draft their point guard which one of the point guards are there at 8 they draft Edey
castle cannot shoot well enough by test. Shep is over the top shooter for 3/s, PG at 8. I hope SAS buy Memphis pick or Houston pick... How about Salaun at 4 and Topic at 8.
Marklaursen not true castle can shoot
Stephon castle shot 18/25 at the combine from 3. He shown he is a capable shooter and have the work ethic to get better. I dont think people need to worry about Stephon Castle shooting than other players in this draft.
The Spurs drafting Jimmy Fredette didnt the league already solve this non issue and showed emphatically its a failure? If the Spurs picks this bum... the new GM needs to go
He's not a BUM!! Thanks to low IQ, self appointed NBA executives like yourself it's probably in everyone's best interest that you're not an NBA executive... and you guys need to knock off the Jimmer Freddette shit too🤬
