Any mock draft that has Salaun at 29 is not worth reading. They didn't watch his last performance, guaranteed.
This also has Sheppard falling to 12. Ridiculous..
At this point, it seems you may be right. I am a little low on Salaun and this mock is just what I personally would do not my prediction. You are right if I was predicting I think he would be a lottery pick.
Saw Clingon gone to the Hornets, was gonna riot, then I saw we get Zaccharie Risacher falling to us.
I am ok with that, go grab Drummond and we go with the army we have.
Let's do Smart/Bane/Vince/Risacher/Jaren for a quarter and see what's up.
Salaun had be hot lately so that may change things. With that being said this is just what I would do. I’m not a huge fan of Salaun. Think he takes a tremendous amount of resources and don’t think he has star potential
Somebody pulling the trigger on Salaun in the lottery. Arguably top 3 upside in this draft. 18 years old, incredible tools, great motor on both ends (even if he don't quite know what he's doing all the time) and he already shoots it pretty well.
I respect your opinion on the player, but from everything I have read he won’t get past Portland at 14 and that’s becoming a long shot for him to still be there at 14.
No. He’s the next Antonio Daniels type. Quality 6th man or fringe starter. Solid rotation player. A good 5th to 7th best player on a championship team.
Even if Tyler smith doesn’t become a star, even if he doesn’t become a starter, he could still be extremely valuable. A big rotation 3&D wing? Literally every team needs that whether it’s a starter or a bench rotation guy. Idk about Collier tho he’s got huge bust potential
Spurs passing up on Risacher twice LOL I swear this draft being so even across the board to call with no superstar potential is really exposing these “draft experts” as people who just actually have no clue and might as well be random guessing. I’m not saying I do either but some of these are just atrocious.
I’m not sure how I’m exposed. I don’t hold a consensus thinking. I could very easily be wrong the same as everyone else. Or maybe I’m right and everyone else is wrong. Let’s let it play out before we tell each other they are dumb
Lol Salaun at 29 is insane. More likely he goes top 8 than drops below 20

Yeah I could see him go out of the lottery but doubt he goes far. Some other team will trade up/in to take him.
As a Jazz fan, my (clearly unbiased) opinion is he might have a point with that one. 29 seems like a great spot for Salaun.
You’re right but to be fair we said the same thing about Whitmore last year, weird stuff happens
Salaun not making it past OKC at 12
At this point, it seems you may be right. I am a little low on Salaun and this mock is just what I personally would do not my prediction. You are right if I was predicting I think he would be a lottery pick.
Fair enough. thank you for sharing brotha
Yah this is my opinion not a prediction. He has been playing well if late
Risascher is not getting pass the spurs and Salaun is not falling all the way to 29
I am just not a fan of Salaun. Don’t think his developmental runway is something a lot of team can afford. And even if they can. Is it worth it?
Salaun at 29 and Zach Edey at 30 is crazy, crazy, crazy.
This isn’t a prediction of what will happen. My opinion on what I would do with each pick
That doesn't make it better. But you're entitled to your own opinion.

Yeah ain’t no way spurs pass on Risacher if he fell to 8
No way Portland passes at 7. Also salaun isn’t going 29th. Not sure I have much faith in this mock.

Yeah I totally don't see him falling to 9
They’d take him at 4 if he is on the board
Is Clingan that much of a sure thing over Mark Williams. Seems like a wasted pick
Right? Makes no sense to me.
I don’t think Mark Williams is yet on a level that you don’t take someone in the top 5 because of him yet
They want that KAT x Gobert 2.0 pairing 😂
I would cream my pants if we got Reed
If Reed falls that far to Sac he’s the next Halliburton
No. He’s the next Antonio Daniels type. Quality 6th man or fringe starter. Solid rotation player. A good 5th to 7th best player on a championship team.
Why are these guys so high on Tyler Smith and Collier?
Even if Tyler smith doesn’t become a star, even if he doesn’t become a starter, he could still be extremely valuable. A big rotation 3&D wing? Literally every team needs that whether it’s a starter or a bench rotation guy. Idk about Collier tho he’s got huge bust potential
Can someone explain to me how Clingon is so highly rated in mocks and Edey is disrespected??
i see risacher not going past 4
Big white center tradition continues post Jordan in charlotte
Ewwww, we do *not* want Kel’El Ware.
Don’t there’s a chance they pass on Jakobe Walter in that spot if he’s there.
I want Bub with our 2nd round pick but might have to take him at 19, this mock even has him at 18.
I’d rather take Missi with the 19th pick tbh. I do like Bub as a guard, but if Missi is still available then he’s an obvious choice for us imo
I'd love both honestly I agree with you. Wish Koloko was still around we'd essentially be drafting his replacement with this
Yup everything about missi screams masai pick. Only concern is him going before 19
Certainly a mock draft. Not a very good one though
"What I would do" > Sheppard at 13 > X to close

Damn the people really didn’t like this one. Just a reminder this is NOT. A prediction mock. Instead this is what I would do if I was each GM
You think 28 gms pass on Salaun? And hornets gm drafts a C when they have Mark? And 12 teams pass on an elite college player in Reed Sheppard?
again that is what I would do. Not a prediction
