The Spurs Are Building a DEFENSIVE MONSTER!

The Spurs Are Building a DEFENSIVE MONSTER!

i gotta say spurs fans i didn’t see it before but i see it now and it is absolutely terrifying for other teams what is up san antonio spurs fans welcome to tsr sports tgif and i was thinking about our draft and prior players with their spurs and the direction our spurs are going and i was like you know what wait a minute tsr think about this follow me for a second david robinson former defensive player of the year first team all defense tim duncan i can’t even count how many first team and second team all defense has timmy got kawhi leonard two-time defensive player of the year what do they have all in common defense and with the selection of carter bryant i think our spurs have a plan defense defense with guys that can guard multiple positions and say what you will about defense it still wins championships the oklahoma city thunder had the best defensive rating in the nba and they’re the champions the other team in the nba finals the indiana pacers they finished 14th in the regular season eighth in the playoffs so they’re about average in defense however the champion the thunder were number one in the nba playoffs in defense too and oklahoma city thunder were running a lot of wings and yes two bigs at times as well but what i saw from them was defensive versatility players that can switch and i think our spurs are shooting for the same thing which would make sense who to better model off than the nba champions or sam preston chip england all right former spurs there moving right along let’s talk about who we have on the team right now victor wmanyama will likely guard the four through five i don’t know if he’s generally been tasked to guard the three but he is the best shot blocker in the nba not even close 3.8 blocks a game this season and his ability to cover ground and make up for his teammates missing an assignment and just blocking shots and not only blocking shots but his recovery time we’ve seen wy block a shot this way the ball goes this way turns around and then he’s blocking the other player as well he may have even done that three times in one possession i don’t know but what he can do is absolutely incredible in the paint yes a big part of that is because of his height and his reach but it’s also his basketball iq we have an extremely talented anchor on the defense a surefire defensive player of the year as long as he hits the 65game quota he would have hit it last season probably should have had his rookie season if we’re being honest but moving right along after whmy jeremy sohan a lot of spurs fans want to trade the sohandan i i know he’s got to work on things offensively but defensively he can guard the one through five ideally we don’t see a whole lot of center sohan next season but he has shown the ability to do so and he’s almost always on the opposing team’s best offensive player luca steph ant whoever and he generally does an amazing job jeremy so is one of the best wing stoppers when it comes to perimeter iso dean his defensive he anchor anchor that’s what i’m going this is another anchor looking at the rest of the team drafting carter bryant couldn’t get a good read looking at his scout reports on what positions he exactly guarded at arizona but appears he would likely guard the two through four i’m reading he’s quick enough to guard smaller players which would be the two but bigger players which would be the four so two through four seems more than likely he had a high steel rate in college and was good at contesting shots and i’ll admit guys i may have slept on that pick a little bit draft night we saw so many mods have us taking carter bryant when we eventually took carter bryant i was like “okay that’s that’s the guy.” what i hadn’t done though is look at more recent mocks leading up to the draft because i had looked at so many i was kind of getting a little burned out in the mocks as many of you were and i didn’t realize he was moving up on a lot of draft boards i saw one where he was move when he moved up to 10th but i was like “all right one scout analysis whatever has him going at 10th but everybody pretty much has him going at 14th.” so it sounds like he was a steal and i think i slept on a little i’m not afraid to admit that and there’s a lot of potential there we’re going to be using the word potential again here with our pick from last year reigning rookie of the year stephon castle the guard the one through three i know he’s got things he needs to work on i couldn’t find it online it’s either his offball defense or on ball defense needs work but i’m pretty sure it’s his offball defense is a bigger issue but there’s also yes potential there but versatility and with the four guys i mentioned i see versatility and i’m liking the direction of the team with defensive versatility the offense just needs to cook as well and this is where players come in like dearon fox dylan harper and for now demicel and kell johnson i don’t know how long either player to be honest with you will be on the spurs with the drafting and carter bryant with the direction of the team but they are here for now and i wish them the best and with maybe more of a defensive minded strategy with our draft wmy was the obvious no-brainer in 2023 but best defensive player in the draft so in the year before castle last year bryant this year i know harper’s not a defensive beast but that was the best player available position at the number two spot but i think we’re really working and brian brian wright has said this with the positionless thing i think we’re looking for defensive versatility and we really really have it with these three guys here plus castle maybe why that’s spurs fans maybe why with this defensive versatility we’re going for maxim raino was not drafted by the spurs maybe that’s why they drafted that or traded that second round pick before the draft even started and did not try to trade it back into the second round last night and you know my apologies for the language in the short i would have loved him at 38 not just because he’s wendy’s buddy but i read a lot of good things about him and he was projected to be a late firstrounder with him sitting there at 38 i thought “oh i wanted him i really wanted him.” but it wasn’t meant to be and i got to think the spurs have another plan let me just actually add this in here i’m shocked not just here in our community but looking elsewhere there’s a lot of spurs fans that are like “who cares about a second round pick i mean not every second round pick is going to be a mono jernobyl not every second round pick is going to be a nicole joic of course but as a spurs fan disregarding second picks i don’t think that not not it should not be coming from us you know what i mean as spurs fans would be like you could say “hey tsr reo reo wasn’t the guy so who cares whatever.” but to just disregard second round picks in general when it’s been such a huge part of our franchise come on man h that being said um this must mean we’re getting a big somewhere guys we have to get we we cannot we cannot cannot roll out wby yes roll out wmy followed by bassie and bambo that is not going to work i like charles bassie he has shown potential as well there’s a word we’re using a lot here potential as a rim protector and rebounder but he’s been inconsistent and more importantly he can’t stay on the court he’s been injured what three years in a row now with our spurs it’s time to move on thank you for your service once a spur always a spur it ain’t working cut ties with him bismbo you want to keep him on as depth as a 14th or 15th player on the roster okay how many spots do we have we had 10 guaranteed contracts we just drafted that’s 12 players we have three spots plus the 32a contracts i got to think spurs fans something’s got something’s got to be there somewhere where we’re getting a big i see with the recent pick that the sixers made in the second round i saw a filling website report that it seems like they’re going to be moving off from moving on from gershan yahoo selling is that a player we’re definitely going to sign it would make sense but it doesn’t really it checks some of the boxes but we still don’t have another big big a sevenfooter after whmy so i’m not sure what the plan is there i’ll do a video on that future maybe that’ll be tomorrow’s video but i like the direction we’re going i think we’re trending in the right direction we have our franchise player we have defensive versatility the scoring my my big question mark is will not the scoring per se but the shooting the shooting’s got to come around you right above me just be an average three-point shooter we see you working out in the offseason the weird hitch in your shot is gone keep doing what you’re doing stefon castle abysmal from three-point land last year shot what under 29% he’s working with the guard whisper who also worked with sga hey that’s good good good person your game after and if he can get his three-point shooting to a lot of ifs again but this is what when when you have young players guys this is what we’re going to have we’re going to have ifs and potential because we don’t know what their ceiling is castle’s been in the league one year carter harper haven’t played an nba minute jeremy so for all the slack he gets he’s still young he 21 right now we haven’t seen the ceiling those guys we have not seen victor webbyama ceiling we’ve seen about a season and a half from wby how freaking high is his ceiling i love the direction of the team even if i might get upset at times and be critical things much like last night during the second round draft reaction i like where we’re going and good times are coming for the opposing teams this is going to be scary when they figure it out and put it all together watch out nba here comes another spurs dynasty calling it out another dynasty drop a comment down below you think i’m crazy with what i’m talking about are you on the sohan no bryant no tsr you’re crazy we should have traded for durant should have traded for jiannis curious your thoughts this is a different type of video this made from the ground up i don’t do a lot of these usually i piggy back off of air alamo or pounding the rock or spurs tuck or or whoever i want to kind of give my own take on things and the direction of the team and i love the direction of the team i really do i think it’s going to be a fun season it’s going to be a fun next decade of destruction hit the thumbs up sports channel and
