If Risacher is unavailable, the Spurs should take Castle at 4 and Holland at 8

With the injury to Topic, erase him from #4 for the Spurs. The Spurs like Risacher (French connection) more anyway, so pencil in Zacharrie at #4. Add Salaun at 8. Three Frenchmen in the lineup!

Spurs need to trade the picks for Young and look for players in free agency. Everyone wants to play with Wemby.

Tyler Smith is a nice prospect but Portland should be able to get him at 14. I can’t see him going higher than that. He his 14 to 20 range most likely.

If Risacher is available at 4 there is ZERO universe, even in the multi-verse, where the Spurs FO brass don't take him there. It's just too clean of a fit with their current roster, where Risacher comes in and to take over Julian Champagnie's starting slot (Julian's much better suited for a bench role) and where Risacher's flaws and shortcomings won't nearly be as exposed. He can stand in the corner and hit open 3s and play within the concept on defense. He won't have to create for himself. Not only that, Riisacher's flaws are much easier to take on at the 4th pick then in the top 3. James is missing the big picture w/their roster and why Stayman is skeptical.If the Spurs really want the balky-kneed Topic, they gamble on him at 8. Personally, I'd hate even wasting the 8th pick on Topic with a reminder that a) The Spurs currently have 3 firsts in next year's draft, already a much deeper draft or b) Even if the Spurs move those picks it likely means they're dealing for say, a big time PG and say, in the case of Darius Garland, then essentially, there's no future for a player like Topic on the roster when they've already got an awesome backup in Tre Jones, and guys like Malaki and Wesley who spent ALL last season playing backup PG minutes.

Spurs are going to trade away the picks for Young.

I think Spurs can get Topic at #8 and I would select Risacher at #4 . Topic-Risacher-Wembanyama can be a great core.

This is the first mock draft that I exactly said finally somebody gets it! As a wizards fan Stephon castle is the guy.

NGL, Jody and Cronin will be run out of Portland if they choose Smith over Salaun, Clingan, Holland, Buzelis, and Knecht at 7.

Fwiw, just don't see Hornets going with Shepherd after the Rozier experiment. Small shooting guards with Lamelo are a bad fit.

With the 5th pick the Detroit Pistons pick Zack Edey!!! Let’s go Detroit Basketball. We’ve experimented with non traditional basketball bigs since Cade was drafted. We are young so why not get a low post present so everyone can grow into their games. Instead of forcing pieces of chicken wings when we needs low post center with Cade and co. Who’s coming out tipping the scales for our team. It ain’t no chicken wing. It’s the Big dog Zach Edey. Him and Cade and the others would gel and play right. Got them playing all wrong. Horrible to watch. 3 and 4 minutes without scoring. Ugly basketball. Wanna see our big fella turn a dunk on somebody. Or jump hook left or Rt draw a foul. Take the load off the team and put it on his back Zach. We gonna be sorry if we don’t get him. Him him him Zach . Period. Best player by far and still learning. We get him and he just turns out to be the beast I know he is and better. Dynasty.

I've been saying Castle to Wizards. Fits what Dawkins looks for

1stplayer and bast player in draft for our Pistons. Is Zach Edey. Trying to keep fitting wings and we have wings. We need Zach Edey. Take the load off Cade. Zach elevates our team. Add a couple vets. We are a winning team. Don’t get Zach and lock a wing before that. Let another team get him. We can start another rebuild. We don’t play small ball Cade isn’t small and as you see he has no one to defer to to get a basket. Let’s pick and play right. It’s a game of mismatches. We rarely have a mismatch. Get him pair him with Cade and company trade Duren. As Zach can start right now. Victory!!!! Detroit Basketball!!!!!

Kings are going with Devin Carter if he is still available at #13

Wizards taking Risacher seems more likely

Somehow idt there was a worse pick than a guard at 7 for portland but I was wrong. Im surprised I’ve seen no one say it, but how can you remotely justify saying that Rissacher doesn’t have the offensive upside to be a top 3 pick because he doesn’t have playmaking abilities, and then reasonably argue Tyler Smith over Matas Buzelis, Ron Holland, Dalton Knecht, Tidjane Salaun, and Clingan. Tyler smith has no creation or passing ability whatsoever there is no way he gets taken that high

It has been reported that NBA physicians traveled to the combine overseas on Wednesday to assess the medical conditions on Nokola Topic and his agent confirmed that he has a partial torn ACL of the left knee and will be out for the year. NBA physicians are confident that the surgery will have a positive outcome especially with his young age. As expected, concern has arisen that his stock will fall and push him down the draft and most likely out of the draft unfortunately. Best wishes for the young man
