The top 5 draft picks will probably be the following in some order:
- Stephon Castle
- Reed Sheppard
- Zachary Risacher
- Donovan Clingan
- Alex Sarr
The order listed is by my preference. The Spurs will be able to take one of the players above. I would prefer one of Castle or Sheppard assuming the Spurs would be able to fix Castle’s shot.
The next handful of picks would probably include:
- Devin Carter
- Dalton Knecht
- Tidjane Salaun
- Matas Buzelis
- Rob Dillingham
- Cody Williams
If the Spurs do not draft Reed Sheppard at #4, I would have the above list as my order of preference. If the Spurs take Sheppard, I would move Devin Carter down the board below Buzelis.
I think ending up with one player from each of those lists would be pretty good. A couple of the picks assume that their shot will have to improve. I assume if the Spurs take anybody, they would be confident that Jimmy Baron (Spurs shooting coach) could fix the shot.
