As of the end of May, whom do you believe will be gone by pick #7?

Dillingham has always been my pick to be the one who could slide. Not everyone needs a PG and Castle and Topic are bigger and better.

 

I don't see Houston keeping #3.

If they do keep the pick, then my vote is for Sheppard.

Castle and the nonsense surrounding him screams of chicanery coming from the Spurs at 4.

Detroit is very confusing to me. No clue what they do. Do they go completely out of left field and take Topic?

Klingan at 6 makes some sense for Charlotte. Maybe.

 

Having been the target of many a "did this need to be a thread?" complaints, I'd like it noted that this was one thread I did NOT start. I just INSPIRED it.

 

I'm wondering who takes Clingan. If he drops to us do we have to take him? I mean, if he's really "the next Walker Kessler"... (although the actual WK didn't look so great his second year). If he goes in the top six I can see Detroit taking him. Their defense was abysmal, and I don't think they love Jalen Duren as much as this board seems to.

 

I’d rather take Edey than Clingan.

 

Why would they?
They picked up Mark Williams 2 years ago, who is at least a similar level prospect.

 

I was listening to a few people talk about Dillingham, and they think he's the most likely to average 20ppg in the NBA. They think he'd be killer in the PNR with Wemby.

 

Me too, except that Walker Kessler gets NBA minutes and Boban doesn't.

 

TELL ME ABOUT IT

 

I was impressed during their loss to A&M. And I think he will be good eventually. I just think that his size puts him behind Topic, Castle, and even Sheppard. (6'3" wing span and 164 lbs is really small)

 

I would take those two above him too.

 

If we pick Clingan I'm going to be disappointed.

 

I could see us taking Clingan and then trading up to take Knecht.

 

I can see the Spurs going with Castle just because he's very talented, but on the other hand, he's not really their "type". I guess DeJounte Murray was a bit like that - big, good defender, not a shooter, but he's certainly not very similar to Tony Parker. I can totally see them going with a Topic or a Shepherd. Or they might target Dillingham with their second pick. If I had to guess, I would pick Topic as more of a Spurs-style choice, but who knows if his knee is scaring teams off.
In general, I don't think the Spurs will pick because of positional need. Their only set-in-stone player is Wemby. After him I guess there's Sochan and Vassell, but they've been pretty brutal at cutting players loose even when it looks like they've invested a fair amount of development time on them (Murray, Derrick White). I think it's very likely they had their sights set on Risacher, and they might surprise by taking Buzelis.

 

If we pick Clingan might we look to move him? I can see a team like the Knicks being interested.

 

I'm crossing my fingers that there is even less clarity and even more confusion over the next 4 weeks. That would make watching the draft a real entertaining evening

 

Who drafts Anthony Bennett this time?
