Draft March Madness Draft Watch: Spurs Prospect Tracker

That Bitch was allowed to do whatever he wanted. The refs let him play super physical against Texas, but Texas was called for a bunch of bullshit fouls against him.

I hope Purdue gets their asses kicked next round.
 
Props to the Horns for 4 hard fought games. Unfortunately, they lost. I am proud of their effort, except at the FT line.

HOOK EM HORNS
 
Sean Miller pulled a Pop and pulled his best big man off the floor last possession and it cost them the game. Easy tip-in for Purdue for the win. What an idiot. Game 6 PTSD activated. It still hurts :st-cry:
 
Sill really high on Mo Krivas, especially if our pick falls in the early 20’s. Elite rim-protector with untapped offensive potential. Arkansas literally cannot score in the paint when he’s on the floor.
 
Besides Cenac, is there anybody else in this game we should be watching?
 
Cenac with a stinker first half shooting the ball (although 2 of those misses were on difficult put-back tip-in attempts) but he's still dominating the glass and protecting the rim. His elite rebounding is one thing that will definitively translate to the NBA, even if the shot's not falling. Needs to hit these open looks though. Houston's offense needs him to produce badly cause they already have enough issues on that side of the ball.

Yeah, I 100% agree. The Spurs downfall in the (non top 4) first round has been their penchant for home runs rather than singles: Samanic, Primo, Blake Wesley, etc. If you pick in the late teens onwards those high upside guys left typically have huge question marks and yield negative returns, just take the guy you know can play and either they become your role players or, alternatively, you can eventually flip them for the right pieces.

I wasn't too keen on drafting a center but Krivas strikes me as exactly that type of guy, he won't be spectacular but has a solid chance at being a high end backup center, even possibly a good starter. If you end up at 21 that's really solid value, not wasting the pick should be the priority. With Kornet in a slump, the pick falling and Krivas looking good, I'm starting to like this option more.

Great take. Not sure the Spurs do, but I couldn't agree more. Aside from his elite rim-protection, the thing I like most about Krivas is his shooting touch. Around the basket of course but also the fact that he's a 78% foul shooter and has shown an ability to shoot the 3. I really think that's something he can develop in time. Having a reliable, elite rim-protecting backup Center who can also stretch the floor would be a great weapon to have off the bench, as well as a spot starter. And you just can't teach his elite physical profile at 7'2 260+ lbs with a 7'5 wingspan.

Yes. This is why I wasn't so high on Mara, centers whose offense is limited to the paint but can't hit their free throws can't finish close playoff games and they become a liability. Krivas' size, rim protection, touch and ability to hit free throws makes him a very low risk archetype IMO.

I wouldn't want Mara as well. Krivas is quite interesting, quite a presence, what would worry me, is his shooting from 5 to 10 ft, there he is just 45%, so that might put a question mark on his touch.
if we think about a center, who can protect the rim and who would be a low risk, high floor player, why not take a closer look at Condon. he is not as big as Krivas, but he is more mobile, has more range and if he didn't play next to Chinyelu, his board numbers per minute would be much better (like they were last season). I think Condon has some Tiago Splitter and what's not to like about that. and he has a background as a rugby player and we know, you don't have to worry about toughness and physicality with those guys, even if gives up some pounds to his competition.

Wagler was totally underrecruited and he looks really good.

He’s such a weird archetype, but I don’t hate him. He’s skinny AF, and shoots lights out, so you’d expect him to float on the perimeter. He does not, going to the rim fearlessly, but playing below it for the most part. Like I said, weird archetype.

If I had to pick a ‘faller’ in this draft, he’d be the one. His build and mostly below the rim game is going to scare teams, but someone is going to get a good player. He just fucking competes, nonstop, and you can’t teach that trait. That, plus his shooting and sneaky play making is going to reward some team.

He's also Dylan Harper level of playing under control and not getting rattled, or as little as a freshman can. If he can play off ball as well as on, which I think he will, I think there's a player here.
 
As for Cenac, I tend to agree with his coach, that he's a ways off from being ready. I didn't pick him out as a pro level prospect at this point. Mirkovic out of Illinois caught my eye. Not sure about his athleticism or prognosis as a pro, but he was a playmaker, did smart stuff out there.

His USG% is 24.8, which isn’t heliocentric. His TaT video shows enough catch and shoots to make him viable off the ball.
 
I think Momcilovic is still an option for one of the 2nd rounders. and if Jefferson can't play today vs. Tennessee, he will have to shoot like cracy to lift Iowa to the E8.
it's like a remote duel vs. Karaban for "top shooter in the 2nd round."

Yeah, he's shown he can play anywhere on the court offensively.

I'm climbing on board for General Krivas and will watch him more. Arizona looks dominant so far.

I like that he's a great FT shooter as well as a good defender.

He measures out fairly similar to Donovan Clingan, if not quite as good in advanced stats: https://www.tankathon.com/players/compare?players=motiejus-krivas--donovan-clingan

(Clingan was probably wildly underrated in that draft.)
 
Are you guys taking Krivas this year or last year's Kalkbrenner? I thought Kalkbrenner should have been a late first last year and it looks like Krivas is trending toward being a late first rounder this year.

Contrasting the two, I would say that even though they are around the same size (7'1-7'2, 7'5-7'6 wingspan), Kalk was a much worse rebounder and this same weakness has translated so far in the league. He was also a much worse FT shooter and he has virtually no hope of converting to a stretch center whereas Krivas does.

However, Kalk was able to protect the rim without fouling (less than half the foul rate) which is a big deal with regards to winning the possession battle and was an absolute elite finisher around the rim (>75% around the rim with high volume dunks over all 5 years of his career). In contrast, Krivas has a significantly lower (1/3 the volume) of dunks and his rim finishing percentages are actually very poor for someone of his size.
