Gasol got good foot speed, could stretch the floor with a great mid range and even fron the top of the key Open 3's.

That #30 pick had mini-Luka potential 😮 no hesitation deep 3, great vision quick decision maker, great rebounder at 6'7", QB at HS. Slow and not atlethic, mini-cone at D also. Senior at 23 yo but ready to contribute right away
@@ApatLang not as a college player, but as an overall NBA ready talent, yes. i remember JJ. amazing off the screen and a 3 pt shooter at the college level. Knecht is much better overall
Don't worry. Lebron's REAL 2nd coming will be there in 2031. We will find out Lebron fathered a kid outside of his marriage and that will be the 12 year old thats out there somewhere now. And he will do what Bronny cannot and will not LOL.
@cedric. Most of the draft experts that I've read says the Spurs got a good deal because the draft capital they got. Some of those picks that they got now they can use to trade for better players later.
When the best things your saying about the 4th pick (castle) is that he’s a winner, champion, makes winning plays , understands how to play and is a worker you are in trouble. It just means there was nobody else to take
Leave it to BSPN to avoid talking about Atlanta drafting at 1. I’m sick of them craping on the Hawks year after year and always talking about Lakers, Celts or other draft picks. Hawks drafted well and get an A+.
Watching this happen in real time was crazy. Once again the Lakers and Heat will be connected in the draft because I really expected either team to take Knecht OR Ware. Ware is going to be a very good back up center early on in his career. His yearly improvement was very impressive and I wouldn't be surprised if the Heat develop him into a good big man. Knecht is ready to go though. I imagine they passed on him because of Jaquez AND Robinson rejuvenating his career. I honestly would've said they'll regret this pick if I didn't like Ware. He would've been a solid back up for AD too.
With so many teenagers, a major concern has to be maturity and basketball IQ. No shortage of raw athletes, but these guys have barely been coached at a top level, yet to face any kind of adversity on the court or work consistently in a system with teammates. They need to keep kids in college - those kids will make enough via NIL anyway.
Besides drafting Kel'El Ware who Miami got, this was best case scenario. I had Dalton going in the top 12 so for him to drop to LA is like a makeup for missing on Jordan Hawkins and passing on Whitemore in last year draft.
Nice pick, potentially, for the offense: 3pt. shooting, spacing, etc. That said, he is not a strong defender. The NBA is about matchups and the BOSTON CELTICS!!
Man #Celtics I would love for Baylor to develop into the best aspects of lefty handling Brandin P.; Athletic Christian B. & Sharpshooting Austin R. while being a 3&D heat check like Sam House Money Hauser for the #NBA League!

It'll be like this for a while. This new generation doesn't perfect their crafts; too much time wasted on the phone and gaming. Ask yourself why the talent level in this country plummented, in EVERY area.
@@Charger-ob8yl it’s the opposite. They play too many basketball games and practice less. You’re way off. They’re more skilled than ever just do t practice team ball.
I'm a Lakers fan....I actually like the 17th pick. We do need more shooting. Now I'll have ISSUE if we waste the 55th pick on Bronny, just to please his daddy.
No they didn't. It was a good trade for San Antonio. They didn't have a need in a weak draft at 8. So they turned the pick into essentially two good picks in probably better drafts in the future as Wembenyama is reaching his prime.
@@KK-pm7udnah the context that the Spurs desperately need a PG is missing though. Even if Rob ends up being a 6th man, you'd think he would be a good fit next to Wemby. Now with Conley to teach him the ropes, Rob will end up looking good eventually and Spurs will be roasted for this trade until that 2031 pick delivers a top pick for them.
If the Lakers could of only taken Cam or Jamie last year we would have a nice young core to go with Max Christie but we had to take JHS. I hope JHS can put it together in yr 2
Someone make the Dillingham trade make sense to me . Ima Heat fan ( love getting a Big with potential btw ) but I think Dillingham and Castle could’ve been their potential new backcourt .
San Antonio didn't like anyone at 8 and had a good team of starters already. Everywhere people were talking about how 2024 is a historically weak draft so San Antonio was able to get two good picks in future drafts where the talent will probably be a lot better and when Wembenyama is in his prime. Makes sense to me.
@@KK-pm7ud not really .. just watched the spurs marathon they had yesterday on nba tv with wemby . Watched about 10 of their games in a row . Vassal is nice but come on they needed a playmaker like Rob . No one on the spurs has those moves or able to create and shot like Rob . And you pair him with wemby on the lobs and pick and roll !? Even his college coach compared him to iverson . Smh trust me he would have been great for them .

Good pick. Good shooter, good energy.

Edey is Marc Gasoline part 2 mark my words
JJJ is overrated. Not a winner.
Gasol got good foot speed, could stretch the floor with a great mid range and even fron the top of the key Open 3's.

Davion Mitchell n Devin Carter definitely the best defensive backup backcourt in the league
Imagine that Minnesota pick being a top 3 unprotected pick and spurs get a generational talent to add to Wendy who is entering his prime
Good take
Exactly!
Gobert would be washed by then, and Towns.
And if the Wolves DON'T win a chip by Ants 10th year, you never know. 😂
Calm down little tiny buddy, calm down 🤣🤣
He might take Conley spot halfway through the season
They could use it to acquire a superstar or All Star to pair with Wemby.
Could be a Chet or Cooper Flag if they ask for a trade.
