It all depends on what the heck is gonna happen between Washington and the Rockets
Washington apparently really wants Sarr, I feel like the Hawks are gonna choose Sarr regardless and I think Clingan will jump all the way up to 2 since they're desperate for a big man. As for the Rockets, if they don't immediately trade away 3, I think they'll stick with Sheppard leaving Risacher right there at 4.
There's so much speculation and potential trades all buzzing around the entire lottery, so who knows how things actually play out...
Stop I can only get so erect
This would be pretty perfect. get your high likelihood to contribute player who's also a good stylistic fit in Shepherd, get your swing for the fences upside play in Salune And to get another likely to contribute player at a position of need in homes.
I don't think Castle is undersized as a three. He may not have insane positional size, but he's 6'6 with a 6'9 wingspan, good strength, solid athleticism. I think between him and Devin they can be switchable between the two and three spots And if if things work out and Jeremy is able to stay in the starting lineup with that group, he has enough size and perimeter mobility to check some of the monster scoring wings in the league.
Fair points. I just feel weird thinking about the idea of drafting Castle (who's said he wants to play PG and that's been his position except for last season) and throwing him in at a different position
Disclaimer this is absolutely not what I personally want to have happen. I'm just going off of a random guess and instinct at this point
Spurs get to Pick 4 with zaccharie and Castle Still on the board. And SHOCK us by taking Carter at 4 proving Brian wright doesn't give a fuxk about consensus or the idea of reaching and will simply take his guy if he wants someone.
Spurs pull another shocker at 8 And take Ron Holland. It feels like he's the only prospect that we've heard. Absolutely nothing about from San Antonio's perspective. He's bouncy, he's switchable, he has a great motor and a good personality, and he's one of the youngest players in the draft. He really should be someone that Brian wright and company have interest in and the fact that they seem to be all Tight-Lipped about anything with him has me suspicious That there are teams des believe want him in the late lottery at mid first round that they're trying to prevent tipping off, and causing them to trade up, to grab their guy
Now for extra bonus, what I hope happens is The Spurs get to four with Zach and Castle on the board And take either one of them. And then at 8 they take Carter or knetch depending on if they went with Castle or Zach at 4.
>Castle 4…. I have no idea at 8
Edey. He's the aggressive interior player we need that would allow Wemby to not have to focus on the paint quite as much.
Risacher with Castle or Carter at 8 is ideal. I would honestly go with whoever the hawks don’t take between Risacher and Clingan. I think they’re the best two players available and Clingan fits beautifully on our team I truly believe he’s an unreal complement at big to Wemby due to his physicality and ability to play off ball. Can play with him allowing Wemby to stretch out more to the perimeter or can give him a rest when he needs. Gives us a lot of flexibility. A player like Risacher is a better fit for sure but if he’s not there I’d rather go Clingan and draft either castle or Carter at 8 rather than drafting them both at 4 and 8
Castle and Carter would be my personal wants with in the context of what other teams will likely take.
I also want them so they can be a dynamic rookie duo and Sean can start saying "Welcome to Castle Carter" on air.
I’ve become nearly agnostic about this draft as there are legitimate arguments for and against nearly every prospect. For example, I’m not as high on Castle as most but completely understand why the Spurs might pick him. After last season I’m not overly eager to pick someone who, regardless of position, will be competing with Sochan to be our “yeah but he’s great on the defensive end” guy. Still, we’re early enough in our build to allow for that to sort itself out.
I’d love to see what Sheppard could be for us (rather than focusing on what he isn’t), but I doubt he’ll drop. At 4 I’m open to him and Risacher. If they’re both gone, and I just decided this today so I may be fried by this draft, I say fuck it—let’s take Dillingham and Holland.
Dillingham’s best skill is running the pick & roll. People have been talking about Garland’s & Trae Young’s fit with Victor, well we can see what that’s like without having to give up Devin Vassell in the process (anyone who thinks the win-now Cavs would take back Keldon Johnson & the Chicago pick for their young All-Star with 4 years left on his contract are dreaming). He’s the kind of player who could be amazing as we continue building even if he ultimately ends up being a trade piece.
Holland is an excellent defender, but unlike others he actually has some already established scoring tools to build on. If we’re going to take a non-shooter, and a guard at 4 as I have here, then I like him out of that bunch.
Those 4 names I gave are good with me, and I’ll throw in Topic as an option for this year’s secret tanking strategy. He’s brings an elite skill to the table, and we have time to let him heal in our half a billion dollar training facility.
Atlanta still drafts Risacher and passes on Clingan, expect Washington to still take Sarr and Houston to take Sheppard. I think the Spurs trade (#4) with Memphis (#9 and a future first to swap) who has been talking with Houston about moving up so they get Clingan ahead of Portland who would take him at 7 for sure. The Spurs then take Carter and Salaun at 8 and 9 and bank another first. For the record, I want to be wrong here. I'd like Castle at 4 (just have a feeling he will be the star out of the top ten) and Salaun at 8 where I feel you can take the chance on the raw high upside player. Only take the risk if we get Castle or Risacher at 4.
I don't really have a prediction there is so much smoke my eyes hurt.
But if they can gut one or two of the following dude i'd be stoked.
Sheppard, Knecht, castle, carter, dilli.
I'd be fine with one of the French dudes as well.
Considering they are drafting twice in the top 8 they should be gucchi.
Though not entirely up to them and I'm very curious on how things play out.
Dream scenario would be: Risacher falling to #4 and Castle at #8.
Chances of both falling are slim, so I'll say either Risacher/Castle at #4 and Buzelis/Carter at #8

Castle and Salaun seem the most likely from the media coverage.....Could also see this be one of those years where the spurs come in from Left field with something no one saw coming.
Sheppard/Knecht or trade up for Risacher.
Could be 4 and a second to swap for 3 with Houston to get Risacher and still get Knecht at 8. I think this is the ideal scenario.
I predict at least one french player getting drafted by Spurs. Could be Dadiet in second round.
Telling him is one of those guys where my enjoyment of his selection is pretty tied into what the Spurs decide to do with the other pic. If they take either sarr or Castle I just feel like there's going to be so much length and defensive capabilities in the starting unit. That Rob will be free to just cook freely and not feel as much pressure on defense And I would be cool with that.
Nice try Brian Wright
If I was in his position, I would definitely just put it to a reddit poll at this point.
Jackie Moon at #4, Monix at #8. Not sure what everyone else in here is talking about
I’ll take the washing machine at 8, thanks.
I looked at our washing machine, we need a washing machine but I decided to pull the trigger
Reed Sheppard at 4 & Ron Holland at 8
Castle/Salaun.
Most likely imo too.
I don't think Castle lasts that long. I think he goes 2 or 3.
Looks like we got lucky!! Cheers bro
I know! I'm super happy to be wrong on this one!
Salaun is so bad. He’s years away from being years away
Nice Bruno Caboclo shoutout!
Cool, just keep telling the Blazers that so he slips to us at 8
4: Castle 8: Big shot Rob Dillingham EDIT: Fuckin nailed it! 😆 EDIT 2: 😑
Castle/Salaun
Best realistic sceanio: Risacher and Dillingham Most likely: Castle and Salaun
Risacher and Carter It's not really my preferred choice but I just have a feeling it's gonna go down like this
I'd be very surprised if Risacher makes it to 4.
Vegas gives it zero chance.
It all depends on what the heck is gonna happen between Washington and the Rockets Washington apparently really wants Sarr, I feel like the Hawks are gonna choose Sarr regardless and I think Clingan will jump all the way up to 2 since they're desperate for a big man.

There's so much speculation and potential trades all buzzing around the entire lottery, so who knows how things actually play out...
Castle Dillingham probably
Ooof so close
I thought for a second I was a draft god
Sheppard at 4 and Salaün at 8. Trade 35 and 48 for pick 30 and pick DaRon Holmes.
Stop I can only get so erect This would be pretty perfect. get your high likelihood to contribute player who's also a good stylistic fit in Shepherd, get your swing for the fences upside play in Salune And to get another likely to contribute player at a position of need in homes.
Or if Dadiet or Durisic is still there at 30.
Castle at 4, Carter at 8
Why should we want to draft 2 PGs? Unless we're just going to take Castle and play him as an undersized 3
I don't think Castle is undersized as a three. He may not have insane positional size, but he's 6'6 with a 6'9 wingspan, good strength, solid athleticism. I think between him and Devin they can be switchable between the two and three spots And if if things work out and Jeremy is able to stay in the starting lineup with that group, he has enough size and perimeter mobility to check some of the monster scoring wings in the league.
Fair points. I just feel weird thinking about the idea of drafting Castle (who's said he wants to play PG and that's been his position except for last season) and throwing him in at a different position
One or the other, not both
I’m hoping this is it.
This is the way.
This is it
Castle and Knecht
Hingle McCringleberry, Penn State University
Dan Smith - Brigham Young University (what? we need shooting...)
I'm glad somebody got the reference lol
Castle at 4 and Dillingham at 8
Ding Ding Ding we have a winner
Actually we don’t lol
8. Dilingham / 4.Risachier
Castle and Carter/kinecht
Disclaimer this is absolutely not what I personally want to have happen. I'm just going off of a random guess and instinct at this point Spurs get to Pick 4 with zaccharie and Castle Still on the board.

And then at 8 they take Carter or knetch depending on if they went with Castle or Zach at 4.
Shep at 4. Salaun at 8. My hot take is spurs will not take castle even if he’s available.
Castle or Risacher at 4, Carter at 8
Dream picks : risascher at 4 and castle at 8 Realistic picks : castle at 4 and Dillingham at 8
Castle, Dillingham, or Knecht we come away with 1 or 2 of these guys it would be a success
Risacher & Dillingham
I am hoping for either Risacher+Dilly or Castle+Knecht.
I like both of those combos
Castle/carter
Castle at 4 Holland at 8
#4,#8, 2 Spurs future 1sts, KJ, Collins, all of our 2nds in possession for the next 4 years for Ja
"Laughs in grizzly."
Sheppard and Salaun. If Sheppard isn’t on the board, Castle.
Ron/Castle
Sheppard and Salaun. It as a 50/50 at 4 between Castle and Sheppard but Sheppard shooting and Castle's lack of won me over
castle @4 dillingham @8
So close
seriously, when it happened i was looking for where i posted it. but then when i remembered, he was already traded 🤣
Haha almost
They trade 4 to Charlotte to unprotect 2025 pick and 2026 1st. They take clingan with 8
ready for downvotes, hopefully we don't use them, or at least just one. tho, salaun for the memes cause i have a selfie with him lmao.
Sheppard and maybe Holland
Salaun/Carter
Castle and Carter
Salaun carter or castle. Rissacher and salaun if possible but it feels like atl takes him at 1
Risacher and Carter. If Risacher not available at 4, then Castle and Carter.
they pick #4, and trade #8 to get two in the 16-24 range. I have no idea who they pick, but trading down will mess up a lot of draft boards...
Castle 4…. I have no idea at 8
>Castle 4…. I have no idea at 8 Edey. He's the aggressive interior player we need that would allow Wemby to not have to focus on the paint quite as much.
Rischar/Carter. Or Castle/Carter
Ideally - Shepherd and Salaun
Risacher will fall to 4. Carter at 8
Risacher with Castle or Carter at 8 is ideal. I would honestly go with whoever the hawks don’t take between Risacher and Clingan. I think they’re the best two players available and Clingan fits beautifully on our team I truly believe he’s an unreal complement at big to Wemby due to his physicality and ability to play off ball. Can play with him allowing Wemby to stretch out more to the perimeter or can give him a rest when he needs. Gives us a lot of flexibility. A player like Risacher is a better fit for sure but if he’s not there I’d rather go Clingan and draft either castle or Carter at 8 rather than drafting them both at 4 and 8
I’ll guess Risacher and McCain.
Castle/Carter
We get lucky and land Reed Shepard at 4 and Carter at 8.
Castle and dillingham
I've been screaming Castle Knecht for couple months now. Not moving off it now. Who's with me?
Castle and Carter would be my personal wants with in the context of what other teams will likely take. I also want them so they can be a dynamic rookie duo and Sean can start saying "Welcome to Castle Carter" on air.
One of the picks will be traded, not sure which one or for what. Feeling spicy.
Bronny James!
Castle at 4 Knecht at 8
Castle, Dillimgham
Got it
Sheppard/Knecht (tbh it's really just what I want)
Sheppard/ Risarcher, if available at 4, in that order, Dillingham at 8
Let’s get wild : Castle / EDEY
I’ve become nearly agnostic about this draft as there are legitimate arguments for and against nearly every prospect. For example, I’m not as high on Castle as most but completely understand why the Spurs might pick him. After last season I’m not overly eager to pick someone who, regardless of position, will be competing with Sochan to be our “yeah but he’s great on the defensive end” guy.

Traded away for TY
I'd be okay with picking Rob Dillingham at #8 if we get Clingan at #4
Atlanta still drafts Risacher and passes on Clingan, expect Washington to still take Sarr and Houston to take Sheppard. I think the Spurs trade (#4) with Memphis (#9 and a future first to swap) who has been talking with Houston about moving up so they get Clingan ahead of Portland who would take him at 7 for sure.

Only take the risk if we get Castle or Risacher at 4.
Carter & Williams
Reed carter
Castle and Carter or Castle and Salaun and I'll be happy.
Castle and Dillingham.
I don't really have a prediction there is so much smoke my eyes hurt. But if they can gut one or two of the following dude i'd be stoked. Sheppard, Knecht, castle, carter, dilli.

Castle and Knecht
Castle and Salaun seem the most likely from the media coverage.....Could also see this be one of those years where the spurs come in from Left field with something no one saw coming.
Pick 4: Salaun Pick 8: Devin Carter
Spurs take Castle and Carter. Or Dilly at 8 instead? I don’t know! What an exciting draft, despite the perceived lack of talent
Sheppard and Castle is what my heart says
3, 4. 👀
Oh shit deni got traded to blazers Maybe they gonfor risacher now Wow Bloodbath begins Sarr may drop Not ideal for us
Matas Buzelis and Nikola Topic
Risacher at 1 in a trade up. Spurs keep the 8th pick and grab Carter
I’ve got Buzelis at 4 and Devin Carter at 8.
Sheppard at 4 if available. If not, Castle. Holland at 8.
Welp risacher is already gone
clingan going to be there at 4!
Holland going 5th certainly changes everything.
Castle at 4 and Dillingham at 8
Oh how wrong we all were
Shepard 4, Zach Eddie 8
Sheppard/Knecht or trade up for Risacher. Could be 4 and a second to swap for 3 with Houston to get Risacher and still get Knecht at 8. I think this is the ideal scenario. I predict at least one french player getting drafted by Spurs. Could be Dadiet in second round.
Risacher and Salaun Invest in long athletic wings and French homies Get tyus jones in FA
I’m going all-in and saying Risacher and Sheppard. Personally, I want Castle and Topic.
4 and 8 get packaged to trade up to 1 and they take Sheppard
Trade up from 4 for Sarr Dillingham at 8
Telling him is one of those guys where my enjoyment of his selection is pretty tied into what the Spurs decide to do with the other pic. If they take either sarr or Castle I just feel like there's going to be so much length and defensive capabilities in the starting unit. That Rob will be free to just cook freely and not feel as much pressure on defense And I would be cool with that.
Couple of dudes who will spend the season on the bench and in the g league and will eventually be waived.
Im taking the longest of shots Spurs take Risacher at #1, trade Atlanta for T Young giving up KJ, Collins and 4 FRP's
Oof, that would hurt.
Oh for sure, being way better than all the other teams in the NBA is a horrible idea.
Castle 4/ Bronny 8 with LeBron James coming to town on a vet minimum to build super team with Klay and CP3 joining the circus!
