NBA Mock Draft 4.0, New #1 Pick?! | Game Theory Podcast with Sam Vecenie
The mock draft would be a big win for the Spurs. I suggested this idea, but slightly different on the trade. Basically Risacher drops to us, and we trade up to get Castle.
I don’t think it would take that much to go from 8 to 5. Especially with the best of, hell no. I’d do 8, bulls top 10 protected 2025 and 2 2nds.

If pistons will play ball I think we ought to do this if any two of Risacher, Sheppard and Castle are still there at 4.

I like the trade they suggest if Risacher is there at 4, although I’d like it a lot more if the best 2027 pick was Top 10 protected

Leaving the draft with Risache and Castle would be best possible outcome. I wonder if the Spurs are thinking the same thing. They have the draft capital wot make it happen.
cool_coyote
I think this would be the most positive draft the Spurs could wish for, which probably means it likely won’t happen. lol
Not sure I fully see Risacher slipping to four. All this “Hawks considering Clingan at 1” and “Riascher isn’t wowing anyone” speculation just seems so suspiciously timed to me. Possibly to drum up a buyers market in a particularly flat draft.
Although the idea to swap the 8th pick with the Piston’s 5th pick is interesting. I like that move even if Risacher doesn’t fall to four. It makes the most sense for both teams.
Knecht at 5 probably seems like a reach, but if the Pistons can get him at 8th along with some future draft capital that seems like a win for them, while the Spurs would probably be delighted to pick again after 4th, especially if say Buzelis or Cody Williams is still there.
