Devin Vassell is the guy who is rumored to be the one who the Spurs like aside from James Wiseman so he is definitely worth a look.

Gimme my Tyrell/Kira!

Alright but seriously with Tyrell, the guy can shoot from all stages and has serious IQ. Strength and size is an issue, and defense but I'm intrigued

I think he's the guy teams are mostly mum about...because they dont want to spill the beans. Ready made elite level defensive chops while being one of the better shooters in the draft...I'm liking this kid more and more...and he works with RJ.

You win with player like this

I want on board the Vassell hype train. This team needs a 3 and D guy with length.

I’m usually against drafting 3&D players on the top ten but if we fall to 8 or 9, Vassell should be the pick. I think he’s got a better chance of developing an off the dribble game more so than a guy like Halliburton. I think it was Melo that compared Vassell to Middleton and every time I watch him that’s all I see too.

I'd have no issue with it cause i've been on this kid for a while now. He's getting pegged as a 3-D player, which is fine, but i think there's even more to him then just that.

That's all you see? This kid can jump out the gym and defensively he's already on an elite in college.

Imagine what Thibs will do with Devin?

Middleton is nice!

A younger Middleton with elite defense? hmm. I wouldn't complain.

Exactly. The kid is only 19 and why the new management team's emphasis on development can unleash his exciting potential.

You see those put backs, blocks and steals? 8-)

Now imagine him with Mitch, RJ and Frank.

He'd be the perfect fit with RJ and Mitch and then add a legit PG that could also shoot and a PF that can shoot like any that we've been mentioning like one of my 2 favorites in L.Markkanen or J.Grant or Bertans. Be nice to have J.Grant cause he also adds the defense but if you have Mitch at the 5 and Vassell at the 3 then we don't absolutely have to have a great defender at the 4.

PG--CP3
SG--RJ Barett
SF--D.Vassell
PF--L.Markkanen/J.Grant/D.Bertans
C---M.Rob

Don't know what exactly we'd have left for the bench after the Markkanen and CP3 trades but we wouldn't have to trade everyone but would take most of those 1st round picks we have in the next 4 years for sure. Would obviously still have to get us a young PG which i would try to get C.Winston (Mich St) in this draft. Teams will be good with selling picks if we don't have that Clippers 1st or that Charlotte 2nd to get him.

Yeah I don’t really see Tatum at all. He doesn’t that same ISO and post game. Your NBA comp Is way better.

Yeah i've never seen anyone compare him to Tatum but have seen many with the Middelton comparison which any team can use a Middelton.

Most of the highlights I’ve watched his off the dribble game consists of attacking close outs. There’s not a lot of wiggle in his handle, it’s mostly straight line drives. That just screams 3&D to me, at least off the bat. Since he’s got a nice pull up game, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him develop into something more. It’s why I really like the Middleton comp. I don’t really see jump out the gym athleticism either. He’s an NBA athlete for sure but he doesn’t get to the rim a lot in the half court. I like him but don’t love him, I certainly wouldn’t complain if we drafted him at 8 but at 6? I think there would be someone better there.
