Collier 23 is crazy 😂

[@seanday477]

If Cam whitmore slipped, nobody is safe

[@jordandaher9652]

I agree that 23 is too low But there is alot to be concerned about with collier Not a great shooter, defender, or play maker at the moment With so many holes in his game it’s easy to see why teams may stray away from him.

[@bkelly625]

@@jordandaher9652 Plenty to not like about Buzelis also but they have him 5th. Collier isn’t falling outside the lottery unless character or medical questions come up. The ppl overanalyzing his tape make the same mistakes every year being over critical of a young guards flaws instead of seeing how much they can develop once in the league this happens to Haliburton, Maxey and many others when it shouldn’t have. Idk if Collier can be that level but still

[@warlockmagic3416]

I had Cam 4th-7th. Falling no later than 8th-9.. Wow was I wrong.. Team's must really have wanted their scrbs.

[@derekmyers7880]

Is it though? I mean, a bit, yeah. I have him at 18. He's a steal at 23.

[@y2kPunk]

I would NEVER draft a 3 and D guy with my #1 pick. I just don’t see it with Risacher

[@CombatLegsVIDS]

that's what I'm saying bro...

[@arshaddahlan]

Who else would you take for Detroit? Risacher fits perfectly

[@youngblackmale127]

I thought I was the only one. These draft analysis is trippin on that one imo

[@arshaddahlan]

@@youngblackmale127 who'd you take for Detroit though?

[@jordandaher9652]

I agree I see Rissacher more then likely being an Otto Porter Type player Even if he’s a great fit for Detroit I’d go Sarr And make a hard decision later..

[@CarloBarlo69]

Reed at three is just… insane

[@4evahodlingdoge226]

They gone draft Payton Pritchard, Tj mcconnell or Patrick Beverley at #3 hahah, this draft is so bad.

[@ehi_ij]

@@4evahodlingdoge226 That’s a casual statement. This draft has plenty of talent top to bottom it’s just that there’s no obvious top 3. Also none of those players you mentioned were shooting 50% from 3, he’s the perfect fit next to wemby

[@4evahodlingdoge226]

@@ehi_ij Grayson Allen is shooting 47% from 3 this season is bigger and more athletic than Reed, would you be happy taking smaller Grayson Allen at #3?

[@ehi_ij]

@@4evahodlingdoge226I 100% understand what you mean is it weird that these teams tank so bad just to draft a three and d guy with practically no superstar potential, but the spurs already have there No.1 guy. Grayson Allen isn’t nearly the playmaker Reed is, that combined with his shooting in the modern NBA makes him the perfect point guard

[@Ori_Ginal2]

Nah he’s clearly a first team all-rookie contender

[@SirJayno]

1 thing is for sure, French team is going to be one of the top of the world.

[@Cmez872]

Can you imagine the Spurs getting both Reed and Dalton? God help us.

I'm so glad this channel is growing so well, great to see a channel get the recognition they deserve.

Appreciate the love and support! Plenty more to come.

[@mikesmith9368]

San Antonio Spurs pick REED????? REED???? The same REED who scored 3 points against a last ranked Oakland???? Reed? He only had good games against sub-par Division 2 drop outs. I think one game he only scored 1 or 2 points playing 28 minutes. Reed? The same REED who stands out there watching ordinary players waltz right by him for easy layups? He sucks, big time. Soft and not aggressive. He is playing against high school players. Wait till he gets to the NBA. They going to hang him up off the rim by his jockstrap. OH no, you couldn't pick Topic for the Spurs, you had to go full Clownish mode. And who did you pick next? CASTLE? Castle who shoots barely 20% from 3 pt land? CASTLE??? Really?? Man, you really hate the Spurs. The Spurs are NOT PICKING neither of those players. What a joke.

[@sarahmccoy1941]

The mock drafter is a knucklehead, When I saw he picked Reed for the Spurs at three, I just about fell backwards out of my chair. Castle was the other joke pick. First, he says that Spurs need shooters and then in the same breath says that Castle can’t help. SO WHY TAKE HIM???? The Spurs need to draft a top point guard and they need to trade for a veteran point guard. Thanks for your terrific post, MikeSmith9368. And Go Spurs, Go!

[@user-kp2jm6kb2y]

Jared McCain in Miami Heat is very good 🔥🔥🔥

[@lynncor998]

5 mins I ll never get back

[@skeon67]

Grizzlies don't need another undersized shooting guard.

[@abeljohnbormate1212]

Topic to the Jazz iz Crazy The spurs would definitely snag him at the 8th spot plus Jazz already have their combo guard of the future in Keyonte george Theyd probably go for a wing or a 2 but Knecht does get his respects and should be a top 10 guy indeed

[@sarahmccoy1941]

Reed Shepard for the San Antonio Spurs at #3? Ridiculous. The Spurs will not use the third pick in the draft to take Shepard. Stephon Castle. “The San Antonio Spurs really need shooting....which Castle unfortunately can’t provide.” 😂😂😂 Terrific reason to take him. These are two really dumb picks for the Spurs.

[@backcourtviolation2412]

[@Lee-tj8km]

hi will you do a second round analysis?

[@NoCeilingsNBA]

We will have second round analysis in the future on our site for our mock drafts! Thanks for checking out the video

[@hart63]

My pred 1. Risacher 2. Sarr 3. Castle 4. Dillingham 5. Tashaun 6. Buzelis 7. Holland 8. Sheppard 9. Klingan 10. Edey 11. Cody 12. Knecht 13. Furphy

[@robshelden4670]

Wow! Crazy!! I’ve been lookin at Jones for my Nuggets for almost 2 months now! He’d be a perfect fit as the “point forward” in the Nuggets bench…Worried that he won’t fall this far. Great pick!

[@joealvarado5399]

These reed shepard takes are crazy lol

[@x5starhustla]

Reed Shepard at 3 lmao

[@zerocrane]

Tell me you know nothing about OKC without telling me you know nothing about OKC.

[@jkh2180]

Filipowski would fit the MO better. But taking Clingan wouldn't be completely out of character. He's more skilled than the average fan might think.

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

@@jkh2180drafting clingan would be out of character due to why’s okc looks for when drafting plus okc wants to play small and play 5 which clingan doesn’t fit okc could have easily gotten a traditional but avoid it due to how they want to play and not wanting players who are limited and one dimensional

[@louigillio6246]

sheppard at 3 is crazy lmao at this point the spurs should draft the best prospect regardless of the fit watch em go for Topic or buzelis

[@3KRacing]

We had the same top 5. Pistons - Risarcher Wiz - Sarr Hornets - Buzelis Por - Cody SAS - Reed

[@bronxroots6668]

I do like Johnny Furphy to my NYK’s…but I’d draft Tidjane Saluan, Tristan Da Silva or Bobbi Klintman before Furphy. And I definitely wouldn’t take a freak’n stiff like PJ Hall, I’d take Oso Igdohoro from Marquette or Ka’el Ware from Indiana. Dark horse pick for one of those pick would be Cali Jaylen Tyson, I really like that kid.

[@Jayse]

For the raps, I want rob or topic at 6 and salaun at 13 . And at 31 grab whoever drops 🔥

[@xxxPaulxxx]

Rob is a top 3, the only guy who has star potential..

[@ernestnallen]

I really hope to see Buzelis joins Scoot in Portland and develop into something special. The Blazers have a great young team and could become a real problem.

[@codyviera92]

The TENNESSEE Dalton Knecht It would be my Number one pick if I was drafting. Dude is special and he's rise is absolutely insaying from Is a zero star recruit in high school to division three basketball in college to a n b a lottery pick would be insane.

[@brandonmatthews4223]

With Ware Holmes Tyler smith on the board no way Miami drafts a 6’3 guy with Herro rozier and wright on the roster

[@spectartacus]

Love that draft for the Jazz

[@arc283429]

The spurs are a team that desperately needs a point guard. Why the hell would they pass up on Nikola Topic not once but twice. Also no Devin Carter is ridiculous. Devin Carter is a borderline top 20 player in this class

[@sarahmccoy1941]

The person doing this mock has not clue as to what the Spurs need. I love the reason for Castile... The Spurs need shooting, which unfortunately Castile can’t provide.” I laughed at that statement.

[@charlescohen6140]

The Spurs have Wemby, Sochan and….? Imagine if they didn’t get Victor. A guessing draft where luck and Sam Presti will stand out. I can’t see Holland going past 5 as he is one of the few really athletic prospects.

[@israeldavila5073]

Kyle Filipowski to okc would perfect i can see okc trade up to get him but then again it depends they like more

[@Beno_nolove]

Naw the grizzlies are

[@slamdunk2270]

I love your picks but I don't see the Spurs passing up on European prospects to draft 2 American players in the top 10. Also, Dillingham to the Grizzlies sounds strange to me as he's basically a poor man's Ja Morant. They would most likely go with a wing the missing link since Brooks left.

[@Now_To_Infinity]

The grizz would take holland

[@vsant2886]

No way the spurs take reed or topic. Just crazy

[@user-lv6ol2zb3w]

Reed Shepard @ 3 to the Spurs and Dillingham @ 6 to the Grizzlies????? This was so bad i cut it off here and had to leaver this comment

[@benewert3299]

Dalton Knecht is from Tennessee, not Kentucky.

[@PoManEntertainment]

Who would've thought that the talent lacking, OTE League would have had more first round picks (5) in the last two NBA drafts, than all of the biggest NCAA programs? Apologies should be forthcoming to all those players and parents that risked it all to make dreams come true. Congrats are on deck.

[@crannymac5627]

Tidjane at 21 is an absolute joke and terrible scouting 😂

[@dancingbabybins]

I desperately want to pair Murray-Boyle with Scottie Barnes on Toronto, that would be a monster dynamic duo of Forwards

[@johnhamilton2914]

Boyles doesn't shoot 3 at all not a good fit. Kelel Ware better stretch 5.

[@dancingbabybins]

@@johnhamilton2914 don't want a stretch 5 want a 3/4 that can help defend. Also Scottie Barnes ALSO couldn't shoot but has become a average 3pt shooter so CMB can do it too.

[@johnhamilton2914]

@@dancingbabybins ok then get Tristan DaSilva or Ulrich Chomche. Don't have to wait 2 years to learn to shoot.

[@spliceoverwrite]

Pelicans would add Kal’el Ware over Filipowski. They need the shot blocking and a center that can dunk and shoot.

[@jordandaher9652]

I like Filipowksi for them. I actually think Daron Holmes would also be great for them as a small ball center option who can close games and stretch the floor around Zion

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

Okc not drafting clingan they avoid players like clingan due to how they want to play

[@jordandaher9652]

I agree with this They like to gamble on the permiter And based on draft history prefer players who can score at all 3 levels I think Okc will be looking for a 3 or 4 more then anything in this draft Like a Dalton Knetch, Matas, McCain or Holmes Before clingan

[@theman9048]

I think they are going to want a big. After the playoffs okc will see what the biggest need on the team is.

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

[@jacksonballinger9433]

The spurs need 3s sadly the guy I picked for them can’t shoot

[@arc7xangel897]

He must not watch Pistons games and I don't blame him. Ivey and Cade don't fit. Jaden can't shoot and is piss poor on defense. I also don't think they need a teenager who may not be able to immediately contribute in Risacher. If they get the 1st pick, they should trade down and get Knecht.

[@scottwickett1273]

Who is gonna want to trade up, though?

@@jorgehernandez3640 they're tanking hard but the Grizzlies as well. The grizzlies currently has bunch of 10 day-contracts and G-league players due to injury issues. Also, the Raptors won 2-1 against the Grizzlies this season, so if they happen to have the same record, the Grizzlies will be guaranteed to pick higher than the Raptors. So if the Raptors doesn't have any lottery luck during the lottery next season, they were guaranteed to lose their pick and will be transferred to the Spurs.

@corey tulaba i dont think spurs are guaranteed the raptors pick. the grizzlies have better starters and better coach, and harder strength of schedule. as well the grizzlies hold the tie breaker as they are 2nd worst in their division, where as the raptors are the worst in their division. so there is a good chance grizzlies get the 7th pick and raptors being 6th, hold onto their pick. the spurs pick then goes to 2025 but raptors are rebuilding and have a less talented starting rotation than at the 1st half of season, so i expect the raptors to be worse in 2025. they didnt end up with better talent after losing siakam, og and schroeder. as well they likely not bringing back bruce brown, and gary trent jr, and likely gonna trade boucher. that and 3 potential rookies off the bench means raptors wont be very good or deep in 2025, and likely 2026.
