apparently teams are lower on Salaun than is being discussed.

Which is why there's a good chance we could snatch him with our Warriors pick. Giannis went #15. Hope they get super aggressive and target their guy, even if they have to use our seconds to move up.

He'll be a PF on the NBA level. I'd be surprised if he falls out of the lotto.

I guess he could as a stretch 4, but his length is not overly impressive for a PF. I bet he starts out as an SF. They say he is quick enough. My guess is he is drafted around 5-7. He just needs to continue to get stronger

Wanna go down a rabbit hole for the Golden State pick?

Along with Dillon Jones keep an eye out for Ryan Dunn

Ceiling: Herb Jones
 
I wonder about Toronto's pick at 6. I am hoping they stay in that spot. If they drop below 6 during the lottery, the pick goes to SA, and I would worry about the Sprus then waiting to draft a PG with Toronto's pick and grabbing a wing with their own.

That's dangerous.

I’ve watched a fair amount of tape with him and you need to squint a bit to see it. It’d certainly be a long term play where you’re placing faith in Schmitz. We’ll see…

I'm struggling a bit with his tape. In half of the footage, you can see some of the intrigue. The other half, however, he looks heavier. It looks like he's running around in clown shoes. I don't know, maybe it's the different camera angles.

The defense and the athleticism does not look impressive at all. I'm not even sure he can complete an alley-oop dunk. Until I see more tape in March, I'm of the opinion we should let another team bite that bullet.

I think I have Matas #4 on my board after Sarr, Risachere/Williams. His size and skill is intriguing. A comp I heard for him was Franz Wagner. I'd love to add someone like that. Salaun is also very intriguing. I'd love to get 2 out of that 5.

I had a similar impression from watching tape, but after seeing him in person, I was very underwhelmed. Now, I don't think they were using him correctly given his skill set, but he has zero impact on the game.

yeah I don’t understand why he’s rising aside from maybe a French wemby halo effect and GMs trying to throw folks off the scent of their actual targets.
 
My gut says I think someone will snag Dunn before our GSW pick; I mean heck, OKC have back to back lottery picks this year.
 
I watched two full games (not many, I know) of Sarr and have come to the conclusion that he should be the pick if we land the #1 slot:

7’1” Bam Adebayo
 
I love Ryan Dunn but this graphic is nuts.

can teams draft players who aren’t even projectable 3pt shooters anymore?

If they like him they can move up. We have 2 second rounders. Unlikely that we use all our picks.
 
I am curious, and I know a lot of you are much more in-depth at studying college prospects and draft expectations. I am curious, if Bronny James didn't have a famous dad, would he be in consideration for a first round pick this year? Has he looked good as a prospect? I have not watched any games, so just curious.
 
he is only a prospect because of his old man. terrible numbers at usc

The 73-win Warriors would be 21st offensively this year? That says a lot about where the state of the NBA is. Let's have every game be like the All-Star game!!

I think the backlash to the ASG is more about the recognition of where the game is at than the ASG itself.

Look no further than Adam Silver's seething reaction.
 
I really want Cody Williams to be our guy. Reminds me so much of Kwahi Leonard when he was at SDSU

He plays nothing like Kawhi though...

He lived off tough off dribble 2's and Cody barely takes any...

I like him fine though

Khawi was a deer learning to walk at SDSU. I think Williams is further along as freshman offensively though.

Williams has the tools to be an elite defender.
