Did people blackout and forget how much better the Spurs were with Wemby at center.

Analysis:

Atlanta gets control over their destiny by getting their picks back making a rebuild a lot more appealing. Holland is a super high upside guy who needs a lot of coaching and experience

San Antonio gets a guy in Sarr who will fit in nicely alongside his compatriot. Their length and defensive versatility will make the Spurs a bitch to score against. Knecht will be a scoring machine for them for the next decade

Washington goes with their PGOTF in Topic

Detroit trades down in a draft they're not wild about to get Simons and get really high upside pick in Salaun

Portland trades up to 5 and gets Buzelis whom they hope is a key piece at forward. They trade the 7 to move down and pick up a 2025 pick. Missi oozed potential and has a fantastic motor but needs coaching and experience.

New Orleans gets their center going forward in Clingan at the cost of the future Lakers pick

Charlotte gets Castile who is an ideal fit alongside Ball and Miller

Memphis goes for a center in Edey who seems like a safer pick by the day

Utah hopes Cody Williams develops into his brother

Chicago goes with a high upside guy in Collier who they hope slots in alongside Cody in their backcourt for the forseeable future

OKC gets a true center in Ware, allowing Holmgren to get more run at PF

Sacramento goes with a guy in Holmes who fits positionally and can contribute right away.

Miami gets versatile, no nonsense guy in Da Silva whom they can plug in immediately

Philly gets Walter who slots in nicely alongside Maxey

LA keeps their pick and lucks into Sheppard who fits perfectly on this team

Orlando also is thrilled to have Dillingham fall all the way to them

Toronto gets Tyler Smith whom they hope blossoms in a more clearly defined role than what he experienced with the Ignite

Cleveland goes with a certain immediate contributor in Filipkowski who fits well alongside either Allen or Mobley

Phoenix goes with a role playing PG whom they can give PT to immediately

Milwaukees also is happy to get a role playing defensive pitbull in Dunn

The Knicks draft a couple of guys with potential in George and Chomche

The great thing about Wemby is his skillset for his size. Personally I view Sarr as more of a PF FWIW.

Sarr skill wise is behind James Wiseman entering the NBA, he has no chance of playing PF.

Portland likely would just stay at 7 and pick Clingan
