SROS I love you but what good would the Spurs taking two guards in all of your mocks make? We have Tre Jones who is a perfect bench PG. We don’t need 2 guards, though we do need a forward. Taking a forward at 4 and still having a guard ready for us at 8 is the best case scenario for the Spurs
Great vid! Great mock… I think you should do trades in the next mock, you talk a lot about trading to get Clingan, I would love to see some trades (maybe the wizards, Memphis, and maybe even the hawks trading out of the first pick, just try to make it realistic🙏🏻)
The Rockets have 3 centers under contract and plenty of good wings, I don't think they trade the pick. If you can throw Dillon Brooks and the 3rd pick for Bridges, I might consider it, but I don't think the Nets go for that. Giving up a bunch of assets for a player who won't make that much of a difference is stupid. Bridges isn't gonna lead your team to a championship, and because of that, I think he's overrated. He was great in his role in PHX, but the Rockets need to figure out who their #1 and 2 option are before, getting a 3rd option type. Sometimes it looks like Sengun or Green, then you think they might trade one of them. If the Rockets are smart, they go with Sheppard. Just about every player in this draft is gonna need to develop other skills (most of them can't shoot), but Reed has a pretty good all around game...he's got elite shooting, and isn't really bad at anything...it's mostly his size that concerns everyone. He basically measures the same as Curry, and is bigger than Donovan Mitchell. What if Sheppard improves his game? His ball handling, his ability to create, and becomes more aggressive offensively? At worst, he's a good quality role player.
Salaun will make a workout with The Blazzers, the Spurs, OKC and Detroit So, he will be drafted by one of those teams. Otherwise, he will really fall in the ranking.
@@drew284 he would not in others draft( maybe end of the first round). But thus draft is weak, so his potential with his athleticism is one of the most valuable things in this draft. Consider that the Ignite candidate have the same level as Sissoko!
It would be interesting if the spurs went crazy and drafted DaRon Holmes II at 8. If he hits his ceiling he could be the perfect center next to Wemby if he goes back to the 4
@@yerrrrrrrr4567 he was playing the 4 a little at the end of the season and it looked a lot better. I think it only looked bad in the beginning because zach collins is the 5 and Wemby was still figuring it out. If you get a competent 5 that can space, screen and defend, and allow Wemby to run in transition and roam on defense it could work. While that is asking a lot out of a center, I think it would be better in the long run for his health and it could unlock his game offensively once he starts abusing mismatches on smaller players and slower bigs.
Excellent pick for the Kings! I've been so tired of the lazy mocks just taking a guard for the Kings instead of what's needed. I've been all over Tyler Smith for the Kings. Finally someone who gets it.
I actually hope for Sarr to go with the Wizards, I think Poole is a definite drawback, but on the other hand Avdija would help Sarr grow, Avdija's an amazing playmaker on the rare chances Poole lets go of the ball :) and Avdija works amazingly well with bigs from the type of Sarr. Hope for Sarr he gets to play with Avdija
Man I wish my Pels would move up to get Tyler Smith. He is Trey Murphy lite... I see him as a quality backup 4/5 and situational starter depending on matchup. His shot is transferable to the League day 1. If he can learn Pels D and defend at an average rate, he will be a factor. I see he's starting to move up the draft boards. I have no issue picking him in the Top 10.
If he still here, that will a nice picks for you. I’m French spurs fan, and I would love Salaun at 8. But if Clingan is still here, I would prefer him.
Ha I have interesting trade idea it a three team tread between the spurs cavs and hawks where spurs would get garland , Cavs would get Murray and Onyeka Okongwu and hawks would get Jordan and one first back from the spurs in the Murray trade and then draft Zaccharie Risacher number 1
I think spurs picks will be Stephon Castle at 4 and Tidjane Salaun at 8. If spurs pick castle they probably do believe he can be there lead guard for the future, or an intermittent one with good positional versatility and trade value at worst. I personally am not a fan of dillingham in SA because I think he's a little too ball dominant and may stunt wembys development (a little).
You gotta be real casual to not see that trae young playing defense like he does will never be a starting point guard for a championship team too small
Thinking Castle at 4 and Holland at 8 for the Spurs unless Sheppard or Risacher fall to 4 and/or Buzelis falls to 8. No interest in stubby arms Topic at any pick below 20. Think I would have gone Cody Williams at 8 with the way this mock was playing out.
My hot take is that he won’t even be drafted in the first round. Dude is smaller than young and doesn’t even come close to his offensive potential, for sure a bust in my eyes
@@Justfrank_0i mean, some team might bite “because of the hype” but if I were a gm I wouldn’t even discuss the possibility of drafting him, same goes for edey. Unplayable in this league, nothing against him as a player but I think all other first round pg’s are better, safer, and have a higher ceiling. My faves right now are topic, carter and carrington
@@jamesedwards1284 I agree. Personally I’m not a big fan of topic & how high he’s being projected. I hope my raptors look at a guy like carrington at 19 tho
another mock god damn, i actually disagree with sarr being consesus no. 1 risachere is developing his game he has a no dip 3. fits better with the hawks especially when u have clint (i think they should keep him) i think risachere is a better present and even a better future u dont know sarr he could be evan mobley or a decent center, if u draft sarr u have the same skillset as jalen johnson u want a guy who doesnt need the ball and defensively zach is so good. if the wizards pick sarr, i.. they are stupid. mark my words i actually like buzelis offensive game than zach but hes too raw for me. actually u know what. i will draft buzelis over risachere
Nope Trade Trae, keep Murray... You guys don't even know the Work Murray puts in that's why y'all so easily saying trade Murray.. y'all has never even played basketball.
@@Cam71718 are you crazy dude 🤦🏿♂️ Trae isn't better than Murray.. the Hawks played better without Trae & coach Quin rather run with Murray & the other players played better under Murray leadership & ask Boston & Miami who's the better player.. Trae little weak as- dude by you saying that, that let me know for sure you never played no kind of basketball 🏀
Im addicted to these videos , you know you enjoy them when you're like cmon give us a few 2nd round picks just for fun😂😂
Been loving the draft content on all of the channels. Keep it up.
Ryan with the perfect Pistons take and pick I love it
we get our wing defender and our back pg lets go

Salaun and 5 other prospects worked out with Blazers yesterday in a closed workout
feel like Salaun is getting overhyped at this point. Very underwhelming statistically, don't thinkj he should be a first rounder

Carrington at 19 would be a relief,we need another guard that can lead the bench which has been nonexistent since 2022
I really hope the nuggets draft Kevin Mccullar. I think he’s an upgraded Christian Braun all around.
holmes going to the thunder
Hopefully
Knicks-bound

Great show and Goo Rockets!!
Question can we collab on ur next mock
No discussion of Clingan on Blazers? He’s mocked there like 90% of the mock I’ve seen.
If he still here, that will a nice picks for you.
I’m French spurs fan, and I would love Salaun at 8. But if Clingan is still here, I would prefer him.
As a blazers fan I’d rather have one of the big name forwards
2 goats
Bruh yall pick Collier over Ware for the Heat is wild lmao
Ha I have interesting trade idea it a three team tread between the spurs cavs and hawks where spurs would get garland , Cavs would get Murray and Onyeka Okongwu and hawks would get Jordan and one first back from the spurs in the Murray trade and then draft Zaccharie Risacher number 1

Kings Fan here, I would take kel el ware at 13, if we don't trade this pick.
Aaaayyye dream platform cross over lol
Hawks fan with a longhorns shirt on? 🧐
Right, dude not a Hawks fan..
he couldve went there for college
WE TAKE KYLE FILPOWSKI & KYSHAWN GEORGE.....THEN WE TAKE JAMAL SHEAD WITH #38
Ron to Sacramento
Spurs should trade pick 8 for Dejounte Murray and draft Stephon Castle
You gotta be real casual to not see that trae young playing defense like he does will never be a starting point guard for a championship team too small
i think spurs pick up clingan at 8 instead of another PG; nostalgia twin tower vibes similar to tim duncan and david robinson
The jazz are definitely going to tank, it’s just a matter of how well they can do it
like if you think sros is hella underrated
