When it comes to picking between player with better offense vs better defense, I like to look at who has a higher motor as a tie breaker. Its something you can't teach and often overlooked. Who looks like the energizer bunny and can just go and go?

[@Aquarian2781]

I like Topic, but 2 injuries to the same knee. I would take him, but only with the 8th pick and if Dillingham is as already gone. That said I think at 4 the Spurs should take the best wing. I mean as much as people may not like Tre Jones, he is serviceable. But if the Spurs plan to do anything, they need an upgrade from Julian Champagne. He can't be a starter next year. So, hopefully Risarche is there, but I think any of the Top Wings would work. I'm really starting to come around to Ron Holland. But if they go Guard, maybe going with Castle or Dillingham at 4, I think the long play of Cody Williams could be the best option. Or Tidjane Salaun... I think the only pick I would not like is Reed Shepherd

[@philipaperez]

Wish we could trade Kelton plus the 4th and 8th picks for Scoot

[@Nubiansage1]

Draft a top Guard at 4 , then draft Zach Edey at 8. Zach Edey was dominant in this year's final 4.

[@dalynbrown]

IF WE DON'T DRAFT A POINT GUARD THIS YEAR THEY CAN SET THERE SIGHT ON Elliot Cadeau from North Carolina

[@leolopez78]

He mentioned Tidjane Salaun and I had a dream last night the spurs drafted him and a lot fans get mad so lets see what happens

[@dalynbrown]

Campos don't know what he's talking about there's no way the Spurs are going to draft 2 additional Point guards with 2 point guards (Veterans) on the roster alL because of a recent Topic injury # NO WAY

[@jetpackdd]

it’s a rebuild, the current point guard situation isnt championship level and it won’t develop to be if they don’t get a new prospect, point guard is an extremely important position for wemby to play with, also topic is 6.7 and an elite lob passer. he can throw dimes over the defence to wemby. nikola has an elite playmkaing ceiling

[@gintorino4616]

​@@jetpackddYes could be the next Ginobili I'm hoping.

[@dalynbrown]

Why wouldn't they have the service's of Devonte Graham at the start of the season HE IS PASSED THE WHOLE DUI INCIDENT WHICH WAS 2023

[@dalynbrown]

Matas Buzelis at the 4th PICK and Stephon Castle 8TH PICK We need an on ball defender

[@yerrrrrrrr4567]

we dont need 2 non shooters

[@dalynbrown]

The Spurs will fix any player's shot they choose to invest in Remember when we were winning Championships (Back in the day) we had Bruce Bowen they worked on his shot turned him into a Decent 3 point shooter Percentage wise and on defense locked down the opponents best scorer back then we had the shot doctor before he left for OKC@@yerrrrrrrr4567

[@BeeSpur]

Both can't shoot

[@AM-eg9ji]

Castle at 4. Gonna be a superstar.

[@gintorino4616]

I like Topic i don't think he has any jealousy when it comes to making passes to Victor because Victor is the teams best player lol. The players last year were jealous of Vic for SURE.

[@Edward-tr3ql]

Castle I don't think is a primary PG..

[@tonyreyna1067]

What is the spurs big board as it stands you think ?

[@YHWHJesus777]

Brandon Ingram Rob Dillingham Nikola Topic UConn C

[@ccdccd8615]

I’m sorry, drafting two point guards makes no sense to me. Rather than do this, package up both draft pics and do a trade for a veteran guard. That would make a hell of a lot more sense.

[@dalynbrown]

NOBODY THAT PLAYS FOR THE Kentucky Wildcats plays defense there not even taught to play defense except for 7 Footer's. That's why they're upset or get beaten in the Tournament every year and as you see they made a coaching change, The Former coach of Kentucky was not out of work for long he now is the coach at Arkansas. You can't have 2 players on the roster that plays No Defense I'm talking specifically about Keldon Johnson and Rob Dillingham You have to trade Keldon While you can get something for him and pass on Rob Dillingham. HE IS A Better version of Scoot Henderson

[@Nenxo4800]

Hell n

[@dalynbrown]

Let's be real about drafting Nikola Jokic we've all seen the highlight of him being carried of the court by trainers the only reason teams are interested in him is he great on the pick and roll and his distribution of getting other players involved is top tier his 3 point % is awful and this is the 2nd time in a year and half he's been injured according to reports. We can't draft and invest in players who's overall basketball skills need work and he can't stay on the floor for all we know that is a serious injury. he's 6'6 but he's brittle

[@Edward-tr3ql]

Been watching the combine no sign of Topic here..Dont think he's here.

[@arodz21]

Topic got injured on the first day

[@JC-uy8oc]

No point guards for the Spurs in this draft. Establish your big man issue first. Make a play for Sarr, settle for Clingan.

[@yerrrrrrrr4567]

i would much rather have topic over clingan and i doubt we can get sarr

[@HelloThere-lo3qi]

Clingan is poetl but a bit better 😂

[@xavierbehavier6454]

Damage goods , we need to skip him

[@haydeeb.1979]

No!

[@terrancejohnson8017]

No I don't want

[@tonyreyna1067]

No
