    Your chart is an argument against your point. If Memphis ends up with a better record than Toronto, the Spurs odds of getting the pick drop from 68% to 63%. It drops even more if the Raptors drop below Portland. 

    They aren’t catching Portland. They aren’t going to be bottom five. So it’s about a five percentage point swing from 7 to 6. Either way, there’s a better chance than not that it conveys. The spurs have been so lucky in the lottery that they will probably thread the needle and have the pick end up exactly at 7.

    If we took anyone from KU I'd take a late flier on KJ. 

    Funny enough, we saw him the morning after the game walking down Mass Street in Lawrence by himself just taking pictures with folks and hanging out. Seems like a good dude but I’m going to hard pass on any 6’7” guy who’s never even attempted a three pointer in his career. Fine if you want to kick the tires on him in the summer on a camp invite but he’s the absolute last thing this team needs. Furphy (who is apparently despised by autocorrect) has some translatable skills.

    I legitimately never knew how much of the stuff about Trae Young was legit criticism and how much was just us ripping on him for being a sooner pile of shit. But, if he really is a shithead, then I trust that the Spurs will find that out and lose whatever interest there may be. His 3pt percentage is definitely lower than what I expected. I'm with you, would rather keep the picks and bring in good vets that play well with Wemby and can hit those open 3s.

     

    Branham was one I had lost hope for. Just bad shooting. But he has been good lately. He is nice in the mid range. Even had a couple of good defensive plays.

     

    Also, what are some guys you like in the draft @Mitch Cumsteen? I don't actually watch a lot of college basketball. I've only started to pay attention recently. Really like Dalton Knecht and Reed Sheppard.

    I've only been paying cursory attention so far. I'm sure I will start to geek out on this stuff post-tournament but as of right now, I would be happy with either Knecht or Sheppard for the Toronto pick should it convey. I covet anyone who can make an open three, but both of those guys bring more to the table than just shooting. In that same vein, I like Dillingham a bunch. He just seems like a gamer and he can stroke it.

    If they actually win the lottery again, it might put them in a bit of a conundrum because Sarr is presumably the top pick, but the things he does best are mostly duplicative of Wemby (at a much shitter rate of course) and they can't throw another non-shooter out there. They just can't.

    I like both Topic and Risacher, but I would be tempted to take Cody Williams over any of them (including Sarr). I don't know how much of his projection is based off of his brother, but he's 3 inches taller and 1.5 years younger than Jalen when he came out. His numbers are better than his brother's at the same age. Adding a guy that long to Wemby just seems unfair. There would be no such thing as a passing lane. 

    The G league guys are tough to evaluate. I think Buzelis has some moxey to him, but his shooting might be a non-starter. I don't know what to make of Ron Holland. Same thing as Buzelis with his shooting. I'm going to jump off the Tower of the Americas if they draft another dude who can't fucking shoot. I haven't watched the guy from Baylor at all. I liked Collier before the season but he's struggled and is another one who can't shoot.

    I went to the Kansas game last weekend and I begrudgingly liked Furphy's game. I compared him to a bigger version of Gradey Dick. Could you imagine the Spurs with a bigger Dick?

    I don't necessarily want Trae Young either but he's for sure 10x better than anyone we currently have(obviously not counting Wemby). There are worse things that could happen.

    Worse, like what? Barring a catastrophic injury to Wemby, I honestly don't believe there is anything that could happen that would be worse than bringing in a losing, culture killing, heliocentric, no defense playing, salary cap albatross who depletes your war chest of picks while teaching Victor how a *real* NBA superstar rolls by acting like a diva, undermining his coach and front office while poisoning the locker room. Other than Kyrie or Harden, I can't imagine a worse player to bring in to this franchise at this particular time. I honestly would prefer either of those guys over Young.

    I don't "want" him necessarily but we have to do something. We can't keep running out the island of misfit toys lineups featuring 2.5 legitimate NBA players. I think there's a chance he and Wemby could be pretty nasty next to each other - and Wemby would certainly help hide his non-existent D.

    I'm not particularly fond of his coach-killing tendencies, though, and I'm not sure he's a good culture/locker room guy.

    And of course, they can't run it back with this crew but this team is soooooooo young.  Sochan, Branham, Wesley and Wemby are all just 20. Vassell is 23. Jones and Keldon are the "vets" and they are both only 24 in their fourth year. They will all be better next season. They are going to add a pick that will be probably top 4 and at worst top 7 (either way, the highest non-Wemby pick since Tim) and probably another top 10 pick from Toronto. People are shitting on this draft class but it's not that bad. They can find one immediate rotation player and a longer term project out of it.

    They just need outside shooting and a couple of culture setting vets to be in contention for a playoff spot next season. That should be a realistic goal for year 2. I know the record is garbage but they really are getting better every night. The rodeo trip makes it look worse than it is. They aren't that far off. Wemby is getting better every night. The entire team is getting better. You motherfuckers need to learn some patience.

    It was cool when the wolves played SA the other night, wemby went to the bench with the lead in the first quarter and he was ballin.

    Then the wolves recaptured the lead during the non wemby minutes and he was an absolute non factor the rest of the game outside of a funny block on Monte morris. Bricked his shots, looked disengaged. SA clawed back after the wolves got complacent with a 20 pt lead but not because of wemby. It’s like they forgot about him after the first quarter. Weird strategy. He’s gonna be a monster with some actual teammates and an extra star

    Hopefully the wolves are moved to the eastern conference by then

     

    Pretty much all of their problems would be solved with good three point shooting around him (and him playing more than 30 mpg). They are last in the league in 3P% but 11th in number of 3's taken per game. They get one wide open shot after another all because of the attention Wemby creates, and they just don't have anybody besides Vassell who can consistently knock them down. They shot 50% from three last night and won going away. I'm too lazy to look up the stat but I saw somewhere that they've won nearly every game in which they outshot their opponent from three this year. They also turn the ball over at a ridiculous rate. Between the long rebounds from all the missed threes and the live ball turnovers, teams are getting out and running for easy buckets. You get teams in the half court and then you have to deal with Wemby lurking every possession. 

  6. He’s gonna get a quad at some point I gotta believe. He will probably get 10 steals in a game if he plays long enough. He’s already had a 6 steal game in limited minutes in 50ish games. He’s had two 5 steal games in the past week.

    But 10 steals in the same game as 10 blocks? I wouldn’t put anything past this cat but that would take a lot of stars aligning. It’s rather preposterous but the fact that I’m even entertaining the idea is a testament to what a freak he is.

    Sochan with 1 point. Champagnie with 2. Killer job, guys.

    Sochan was terrible last night. I don't know if he was as bad as Collins, but he was close. And Champagnie, I'm fairly certain, is the worst starter in the entire league.

    Sochan was -21. Collins was -17. Wemby was -2.  Mamu was +8.

     

  12. They can't run it back. They just can't. 

    They don't need to give up their war chest of picks or cap space, but they have to get some three point shooting. They can't compete without getting better shooting. It's the single biggest issue for the team. Everything else should take care of itself.

    I could see conference championship games going away since the top teams will essentially play an NFL schedule. 

    The conferences are such whores for the championship game cash, that it seems like that's the only reason that we don't have 16 already. They just don't want to give up that revenue. And they sure as shit don't want to sacrifice it so Georgia can go beat the piss out of some G5 scrub that skates through their bullshit schedule into the playoff.

    I think the trick is to balance out the urgency / do or die nature of the regular season while maxing the number of teams in the playoff and still make the CCG mean something. Maybe they are going to go to from 12 to 14 and just give the SEC and Big 10 Champion an auto bye? That would be kind of hilarious.

    I can’t believe people are trying to explain anything from this turd season.  Was so bad it was actually funny by the end.  So many tough wimmenz.  

    I think the whole thing works if you actually view it as a comedy. I mean, my son and I were literally laughing out loud through the last three episodes. They were a few tweaks and breaking the fourth wall every now and then from making this one of the greatest spoofs since Airplane. 

    Maybe that's what the writers were really going for. We (the audience) are actually the True Detectives, trying to unravel the mystery that this was really a gigantic, subtly brilliant, dark comedy mocking the entire genre, instead of the biggest pile of shit to hit HBO since the last season of Game of Thrones.
