Haliburton's father looks like a shrivelled ballsack, squaring up to Giannis was funny.

I feel like Spurs have to get good sooner rather than later, when you draft a Wemby there is always that pressure, need to be good before the end of his rookie scale rather than "waste" all those years, know what I mean? With Castle, now Fox, it's good. I feel like if Spurs jump the lotto (again) and get an Ace Bailey or better it happens sooner rather than later.
In the unlikely event Jazz hold #1 and draft Flagg I would say they probably tank for another season given the depth of top end prospects in 2026 and alignment with their timeline, but you can't convince competitors like Flagg to tank for long, and the same would apply for using his first few years, that team needs to create a competitive team sooner rather than later.
As for this draft, getting a top 2 pick would be elite, but I feel like guys 3-5 or 6 are also really good in their own ways, despite the weaknesses. Ace Bailey and VJ Edgecombe are very athletic and excel in other areas, with lots of scope to improve. Tre Johnson isn't high for everyone but you can see a scenario where he becomes an elite NBA scorer. Derik Queen is potentially a lot better than where he might draft and maybe being slept on. Jeremiah Fears seems like a coin flip. Some people love Kasparas. Is Maluach just really big and made to look better at Duke? Some of the mid 1sts like Carter Bryant and Jase Richardson are really interesting.

The pressure was on as soon as Spurs won the Wemby lottery, but will intensify a lot more with Castle winning ROTY and Fox. I think if Spurs get a high lottery pick for either their own or Atlanta’s pick they might trade Devin Vassell and picks for a reliable big to help Wemby defensively. But it’ll entirely depend on how high of a pick they get. But the fanbase won’t be content for missing the playoffs again.
