Draft March Madness Draft Watch: Spurs Prospect Tracker

Back and forth game… swain, as expected, is playing passive. If he plays like this for the rest of the game, he’s dropping to 4 or 5 for me…

he's already low for me. so much of what he seems to be able to do is tied to his on-ball ability, which is not all that useful for us. like yeah, his ability to pass is interesting but if the ball isnt in his hands he doesnt make an impact. second round consideration only as far as im concerned

He was low for me too, for the same reasons you listed. The logic around his current placement on my list revolves around developing his offball game once he’s on the Spurs. Him becoming a useful player hinges on long-term development like some of the other younger players. So the reason is all potential. The way I see it, is if he does improve on that end, then you have a Barnes-size player with Castle ball-handling. It’s a dangerous lineup with Harper, Castle, Swain attacking from all angles when you think about it.

I read that he was more of a defensive focused player while at Xavier and if that’s true then it becomes a nice package. With that said, he’s not locked in in my top 5 as a few of the others - if I watch more film and come around on other guys, he could easily be replaced.

I really like Mark. He plays aggressive and isn't afraid of the moment. He may not always have his shot, but his competitive nature is infectious.
 
Plus, there are so few players in this draft with a good size+quickness combo.
 
Swain aggressiveness ramping up… when he’s locked in like this, he’s an impactful player.

That crossover was hella nice.

You jinxed it bro. Damn he looks fucked with that ankle injury
 
If it is a close loss, the FT shooting for Texas is a huge culprit.

6 missed FTs so far
 
Mark is money on offense, but he is lagging on D cause of the ankle. He is reminding me of Isiah vs the Lakers in that one Fiinsls game.
 
They can’t stop purdue’s #45. He’s like Shaq out there
 
Refs just as bad in college as they are in the NBA I see... that foul call on Braden Smith pump faking behind the basket is criminal
 
Mark gets smashed in the face on the drive by #4 but no offensive foul.
 
dang, longhorns just gonna have to remain losers per par
 
Big layup and free throw by swain… imagine that as our backup power forward…
