Atlanta takes Risacher #1 b/c they are committed to OO at center and Jalen at PF?

Washington takes Sarr

Houston ???

All I know is every mock will have us going Rob or Topic and we wont take either.

---

Gotta think rockets take a point.

---

I could see them taking dillingham. Maybe Castle to fit with what Udoka likes. Or maybe they do Clingan to shore up their center position. Adam's health is probably iffy.

Yeah, I think 4 and 8 puts them in a good position.

---

With the consensus all over the place, I can see us trying to move up into the top 3 of there is someone we really want. With these options I can also see us trading out or trading back.

One thing to note, I think with Atlanta get the top pick this year, it's found money. They might not be as incentivized with trades centered around their picks anymore. Which is fine, I don't want to do business with anything they have anyways.

---

Ah yeah I'd like to do business with that unprotected pick they owe us if they have another crap year.

They kind of have every position already. I think they draft a point or center to eventually take over the veteran roles.

Spurs did well. They moved up one position and got the 8th pick + Wemby luck for Jakob. It's funny, the spurs were holding onto 3rd worst for almost the entirety of the year. They drop to 5th and 3rd and 4th don't even get a top 4.

Regarding Atlanta, even if they draft the right guy with a #1 pick, they have a lot of decisions to make and have lots of guys under contract. It doesn't necessarily mean it will translate to success in the next 3 years.

Exactly! I don't see anyone in this draft that will make them significantly better and as someone else said, they aren't getting a game changer for Murray.

I think the Spurs are in a good position next year too.

With 12 players under contract, plus the 12.6M cap slot for the #1 pick, Hawks are at 176M in salaries with two slots remaining to fill.

That's well over the luxury tax line and 2M from the 1st apron without bringing back Vit Krejci or Saddiq Bey.

Not only will they not be much better. But also the way they are built this is potentially a disastrous place to be drafted if you're a young teenaged player who needs development.

I do think they will trade for win now players though if they don't make a deal with us (duh). Brandon Ingram incoming.

Sarr getting to run pick and rolls with Trae Young is a waaay better situation than ending up in Washington or Detroit.

Yeah if you want him to be a Clint Capella 2.0 that's fine. Maybe that's his ceiling. I have a feeling he's going to want a bigger role. The guy takes quite a few jumpers even though he came off the bench.

Ag Natural said:

Every mock I've seen are pretty different. There's no consensus. It will be interesting to see what direction Wright takes. The old Spurs would definitely be drafting a couple foreign guys. The recent formula has been to take young longer wings. We don't have any history of top 10 picks. Now we have 2 in the same draft. I bet the Spurs haven't drafted a guard in the lottery since Willie Anderson in the late 80s.

You might be right. But we have no evidence that Sarr has any more to him that Wiseman. He was drafted by a great organization and struggled mightily.

Sarr played in a professional league. Wiseman played 3 games of college basketball and they didn't do all the same workouts and everything because of Covid. Completely different - we have a ton more data on Sarr.

He still makes me nervous. Foreign players who weren't major contributors back home just make me nervous. I know he's got a stud in front of him, so they say, but then you have to ask why isn't THAT guy in the NBA? Luka, Senguin, Wemby, etc were all league MVP caliber pros overseas.

On draft night he was projected to be a 3 and D wing. I'd compare him to Sean Elliot. Regardless. They definitely haven't drafted a one this high since Alvin Robertson.
