Rob Dillingham will work out with Spurs today

SPECULATIVE NOTES:
- Rival Teams have discussed the possibility of the Spurs moving Atlanta’s 2025 unprotected pick along with one of their 2024 picks to move up to Pick 1.
*Givony notes it would be difficult to fathom the Spurs doing that.
*Rival teams would be surprised if Knecht made it past picks 7 and 8. He is a coveted player and his range seems cemented in the 4-9 range.
Spurs don’t appear to be a Clingan landing spot
Spurs previous draft strategy favors positional size, length and intangibles. Stephon Castle and Cody Williams to a lesser extent both fit that mold.
*Cody’s camp has confidence he’ll be picked in the top 10
Spurs have a need for shooting so named like Sheppard, Knecht, Dillingham, Risacher and obvious fits
Mentions the possibility of the Spurs looking to add a veteran point guard like Chris Paul to mentor the team’s guards if that’s a position they decide to draft.
*Notes that Rob Dillingham played for Chris Paul’s EYBL team

Pacome Dadiet. Only bullet I care about
Love the fit with Reed and Wemby. Would be great if we can snag him at 4 and maybe still find a way to get Castle or take an upside swing on Holland at 8.
I could have told you Clingan won’t be a Spur. Yet there’s still such a weird faction of the fanbase hell bent on shoving square pegs in round holes
we need to get our hands on Dadiet. dude will be solid af
Please don’t draft Cody Williams.
Increasingly feels like we’re taking whomever is available between Risacher, Castle, and Reed at 4, and 8 is a crapshoot between about half a dozen other guys depending on who goes 5-7 and who we get at 4.
It’s looking more and more likely that Clingon goes top 3 which means either risacher or Sheppard falls to us which would be amazing. Then get either Carter, dilly or Salaun at 8. Dadiet at 35 would be the cherry on top.
It means the spurs are tight lipped about their draft strategy. I wont be surprised if they draft a guy outside of the mocks.
Risacher and Devin Carter🤞🏽

I want Reed at 4
