1. who does San Antonio pick (they worked out Risacher, so I assume him)
2. who does Atlanta pick (we have some rumors about Clingan, but anyone else? Does he even make sense?)

Here is Tristan Da Silva defending Isaiah Collier. Collier has NBA speed and first step explosion for the PG position. 14:45
I think that overall he displays a willingness to defend. I think that he projects as switchable but by no means a stopper. There is an entire world of NBA players that fit into that box.

Wait - all those guys are returning?
Big hit if so.

amazing cutter and off ball player - would be a better fit for nuggets then porter. They actually shoot pretty similarly from 3 too

Porter is special partially because he has over a 9 foot standing reach and can shoot the lights out. That gives him advantages on the floor allowing him to play PF all day long. Tristen Da Silva is more of a "small ball PF" at best. Porter is a legitimate PF and has the requisite size. Tristan also is still just a projection, MPJ has done it already as a pro.

Jmo...but he is the weakest link on the nuggets and they need to be looking to replace him and ship that large contract. Porter doesn't have a very on balance jump shot and has a streaky and overrated jumper and can't help you other than that. De Silva can create for others and himself better and has a nice little midde and create off ball for himself better and would fit that cutting offense and unique style built on jacks of all trades. Nuggets should be exploring to replace the choke artist who absolutely got shut out by McDaniels
De Silva is 6 9 they not that far off maybe an inch. Porter is a small forward and pf in height only and can be punished down low. We overrate height over play style.

Standing reach and wingspan, look into them.

Pj tucker Charles Barkley and crowder say hi. Porter is physically weak and is not a real power forward.

Is this maybe why Clingan and Risacher have been floated because they want to soften the blow (not that it's really necessary) for the fans if they pass on Sarr given that he's been consistently the #1 guy for most of the past few months? Or is this a strategy to scare teams to trade up because ATL doesn't want to draft any of them at #1 and would rather trade back and pick up future picks?

Assuming they move on from Capela they’d have a bunch of minutes for him too. Seems like a much more ideal spot than Washington with no floor general, or Houston where he’d be buried behind Sengun and Jabari. Unless they’re trying to get him to SA (where he would never be a 5)

Multiple people have said he hasn't worked out for the Hawks yet. I mean there's still a week left until the draft and they could always bring him in for a last minute workout, but it sounds like Sarr's camp doesn't want him in ATL. Whether ATL picks him anyway remains to be seen.
