Draft March Madness Draft Watch: Spurs Prospect Tracker

LendeBron is likely out of our range, at this point. Haugh and Lopez perhaps are too, although one of them could fall (more likely Haugh than Lopez). I think Peat is still very much in play, as is Cenac. And if worst comes to worst, and Atlanta’s pick ends up in the 20s, we could still end up with Ngongba.

What a ridiculously deep draft.
 
Frickin' Karaban gonna go and get himself drafted by the Spurs goddammit

Considering I would take Ngongba if the Hawks pick ended up in the early teens it'd be a massive win tbh.
 
You don’t have to worry about OKC taking Yaxel, tbh. They follow the same foot steps as the Spurs when it comes to culture. It’s all in the patterns and behaviors - I know few people believe in this.
We had Primo, they had Giddey. No one is perfect.

The team also had players like Sochan, Malaki, Blake who they thought had more talent than they did and hoped they would be long-term contributors. You can fail at gauging anything, but you can be better at it afterwards.

You can only assess what’s visible through interviews, background work, and how a player carries themselves. You’re not reading someone at a deeper level beyond that.

The point is that teams still operate with standards. If something shows up during that process that doesn’t align, they’re not going to ignore it. It’s not about perfection, it’s about reducing risk and protecting the environment they’re building.

Wasn’t arguing your point, just illustrating that there are types who can slip past your interview process, both teams.
 
Lexenborg
Bodies and shoves guy in back causing him to lose balance and touch the floor.
Clutch Phans: "Ankle Breaker!"

Sound like he had an excellent game tho.
I wanna see Luxemborg and Boozer match up.
 
The player who might have helped himself the most in the first 3 games might be Tarris Reed.
20.3 ppg (59%FG, 75% FT), 15 rpg, 3 apg, 2 bpg.
Most mocks have him in the 40s, but he might climb up.
What wasn't yet factored in enough is his personality.
Point is, he will win the interviews, teams that don't know him yet he will blow away.
He is such a loveable, smart, eloquent, confident person and also seems to be the best teammate you can think of.
A leader and a mentor to the younger players, they obviously love to play with him.
A good student, former all academic team, a musician playing the sax and so on.
Yes, he is a bit old school, his ceiling will always be back up role player, but you need those guys as well.
A hard working, tough and smart player, who knows his role and limitations, plays defense and gets rebounds.
And a great locker room presence. I'm sold.

His personality is like the anti Yaxel.
 
Failed my job today to announce the games. Wagler vs Stirtz going on right now. I doubt they’re actually going to be drafted by us. Peat and Krivas coming up shortly in 15 minutes.
 
Koa Peat with some a really poor/low-IQ shot attempt to end the half. Arizona might be in trouble, although Purdue shot the lights out from 3 that half. We'll see if they can do it again.
 
Big boi #45 is purdue’s mvp
Yup Oscar Cluff. Should be noted that he's almost 25 years old though lol. 24 1/2 to be exact, and looks like he's 35 with 3 kids and mortgage. Dude's playing college hoops with a lumberjack beard and a receding hairline.
 
Purdue's best players are all old as hell for CBB actually.

- Their star Center Oscar Cluff is 24 1/2 (lol)
- Their All-American PF Trey Kaufmann-Glenn is 23 1/2
- Their All-American PG Braden Smith is about to turn 23
 
Peat or Krivas at #19, who would you take?
Krivas. Immediately gives us the best Center rotation in the league imo and makes Korndog expendable in a year or two if necessary. Peat might have more long-term upside but his inability to shoot the 3 whatsoever is just so unappealing. It'd be Sochan all over again with how he'd kill spacing when he's on the floor.

It's a tough call for me. I have them in the same tier. If we go into the season without any major changes I'd go Krivas too, but it's close.

Fair. FWIW, I think MATFO would prob lean Peat if it came down to it.
 
Another nice block by Krivas.

Edit*: And then he commits b2b dumb fouls on the next 2 possessions smh. They can't afford him getting in foul trouble.
