This is the Power Forward who looks like a player right out of the gate. I've seem some mocks have him going to Chicago. Just a feeling about him as a talent.
Not a fan of Toppin myself. I think bigs should show SOME defensive ability. Happy to be proved wrong, though.
I imagine that with how competitive things will be in the West next season and how stacked the next draft is supposed to be, we could probably move way up with 16, 46 and our 2021 first unprotected, maybe that would be enough for Chicago or Cleveland. I also really like Toppin, I think his problems on defense are overstated (his defense has been bad but I think it could and will get a lot better). As far as the guy's offense goes, it's big time and he will play right away in the league... I think if he worked hard on defense that he would beat out Zach for our starting PF spot.
He has rare explosiveness and athleticism for his size. He'd look great, and IMO be special, in a line up of Dame, CJ, Nurk, and Trevor, Melo, or whoever we sign or trade for to enhance that position.
If you want to move up you could call the spurs and tell them you will take the contract of DeMarre Carroll (absorb it into our TPE) and swap picks.
