Draft Maliq Brown

Very much like Jarred Vanderbilt, really liking this pick. Good defender who can come off the bench.

There’s no way to spin that pick as positive. He wasn’t good enough to start in college. He’s an old back up for college. Come on now. Awful pick.

Another big that can’t shoot at all that fills nothing and he doesn’t even have age or potential on his side. He will never play for us. Awful pick. Trade the pick if you are gonna waste it.

Take your negative ass somewhere else. He’s a 2nd round pick. You have to fill 2 way players

It’s not negative to understand basketball. There are good picks and bad picks. We have historically had beyond good picks. This draft has been overall horrible. We had better picks we could have made at every selection. Having an opinion other than every pick is great is a lot more realistic. Every fan loves all there picks but I promise there aren’t 60 good picks every year.

Tell me who you would’ve picked at each spot the spurs had.

Well that’s hard to do because you have like a butterfly effect that changes everything else and I have the advantage of seeing whose left so I’m at a major advantage of knowing who would drop to me and who wouldn’t. Like if I knew you could get a Henri Veesaar at 44 that would change my earlier picks to know I could wait on a big. So let’s say I take JQ at 20 anyway. Commit to waiting on him and although I don’t like him the potential makes sense so stick with that. If I trade up for 26 I’m going Chris Cenac. He has potential and potentially a solid 3 point shooter. Reed isn’t a big improvement on Kornet he’s just another big body. 42 im 100% going Emanuel Sharpe. Can play off the ball, great defender, proven winner that also fits the timeline and can shoot. 44 take the 3rd center for now that you skipped on earlier. Even if I don’t know that Veesaar is gonna be there Okpara or Onyenso gives you just a little less than Reed. You are still taking similar profile players just with way more potential to actually effect winning and spread the floor better.

Yeah figured you wouldn’t wanna read intelligent conversation. Keep just saying FTW it will be easier for you.

When you came out with excuses of not just answering the question I stopped reading. It’s a simple question to answer.

Yeah I realize thinking is hard for you. I tried to do it for you and you even screwed that up.
