Just feels like a Pop kind of pick. I think the size of those 2 could really create matchup problems. He once had Duncan/Robinson twin towers. Maybe this could be his next experiment?
No.
There has to be a level of versatile skill especially at #1. Edey is what he is in large part already. And given we value D foundations, what does he bring besides blocks and boards but can be taken away from the rim and exploited? Older, plodding, not great rim touch, not floor spreading... Not a Spurs type at all.
I'd eat my hat if we did this.
I have a feeling if we get #1 we either take Risacher or Sarr or may just trade it for upgrades. Is there a guy out there right now that's worth the salary and investment at #1?
I hope the Spurs go all out for a star. This isn't really a draft were I see a legit sidekick for Wemby.
I personally would love to see them go all in on Trae Young.
Agree about upgrades in the quality range unavailable in this draft.
The All Star interaction between Wemby and Trae was perhaps an audition of sorts, just seeing how they mesh initially on a human level.
I initially said we need to upgrade the 1 and desperately the 3 (where the Risacher interest comes) but I'm adding the 4 as well. Not completely sure about Sochan for reasons too long to get into here. So lots of work to do this off-season.
As for Trae, he's a definite quality upgrade but it depends on what 'all in' means. That includes Klutch who will get their marquee players where they want.
