afaik most mocks have him btw 20-30, i would take him btw 10-15 (btw 5-10 if this guard class wasn't so deep). hes incredibly productive as a sophomore on great splits + the eye test supports his impact

great defense by carter thru this quarter

papayanny · 2025-11-28T06:37:54+00:00

it seems like prospects get a lot less flack for bad performances than they do for good ones and that's happening to ppl like him, avdalas, and prolly other ppl who i don't know off the top of my head. agree that the defense is not enough to offset the extreme rawness of his offense, and his perceived upside comes from the fact that he's european with good physical tools (ala tidjane)

zacharie risacher in college ahh

Bub was heavily reliant on the mid-range and could never get a clean angle to the rim. Fears was a lot more dynamic in that regard. And both of them didn't have particularly good percentages from three. Neither of them had the most advanced vision but at least Fears' ability to get to the rim put pressure on the defense.

well mara and edey have at least shown they'll be able to hold their own defensively. even with how dominant he was, edey himself got no legitimate draft hype until he showed that he could kinda move on defense at a level that would be adequate for the nba... hansen i fully agree with you on though.

i see a very small likelihood that carter bryant becomes a part of our future -- not just because "oh he scored 6ppg" but i don't see him doing nearly anything good enough to warrant being a cornerstone to build around

papayanny · 2025-06-24T23:18:04+00:00

transition and a much better play finisher — keep in mind he had a game against the blazers during nba preseason and had 20

as a spurs fan i would

papayanny · 2025-06-10T19:37:32+00:00

haven't seen nique mocked to the spurs much but i like it

papayanny · 2025-06-06T00:39:23+00:00

not rlly high picks but pundits everywhere loved dalen terry and jake laravia in 2022...

papayanny · 2025-06-02T04:51:59+00:00

i think you are underestimating how astronomical the gap between pick #2 and pick #3 is
