Nice to hear Givony say that we’d be Wemby’s preferred tanking team to win the lotto. Fuck the rockets, lol
Sounded like Givony was higher on Sochan’s ceiling than Lowe, even though Lowe only had good things to say about Sochan.
For anyone that didn’t listen or click the link, they ranked which of the 4 tankers you’d want to be moving forward. Givony had us 1 and Lowe had us 3, but Lowe said if we get a top 2 pick then he prob moves us to 1.
Charlotte was a unanimous 4th, lol. Really hope they somehow make the playoffs the next two years
Pretty cool to hear a pair as respected as these two speak so highly of Malaki. He’s just getting started so not making any proclamations yet…but there’s a chance we nailed this draft w Sochan and Branham. Would be huge for us
I also appreciated how Lowe discussed Keldon. He wasn’t nearly as high on him as Dev or Sochan, which I think is fair, but he did talk about how much of a steal his contract can still be. There’s been so much roster turnover, it’s hard to believe Keldon’s still on his rookie deal. Feels like he’s been here forever compared to everyone else around him. He’s gonna be making $17.5 mil in the 26-27 season, which will probably be way outside the top 100 salaries that year. For context, there are 68 players making more than that this season, and everyone says contracts are gonna boom again when the new tv deals get signed in a year or two. Even if Keldon doesn’t become a star, he can still become hugely valuable for us as a stud role player.
They were both really high on Sengun, which was a bummer. If this rebuild takes forever we’re gonna hear about him all the time and that’s gonna suck.
Across the 4 tanking teams, the best prospects are, imho:
CHA: LaMelo + Mark Williams
DET: Cade, Ivey, Duren
HOU: Green, Sengun, Jabari, Eason
SA: Sochan, Vassell, Malaki, Keldon
Call me a homer, but I’m not too upset about how we stack up here, especially considering we’ve got the most draft ammo of any of them.
Also curious where ppl would say Sochan ranks on this prospect list. I’m a homer and way too high on him, but I can see an argument for him at 3.
That all sounds bizarrely reasonable coming from talking heads. 😄
Honestly listen to the podcast, was a great one for Spurs fans.
