Disagree on Clingan for the Spurs. Their offense is going to really hum as a 5 out drive and kick machine if they use Wemby as C. I think shooting is really important for them, I’d go with Sheppard and Risacher or Buzelis
Agreed. I'm not sure if they should go with Sheppard or Dillingham though. Dillingham's penetration ability can be maximized in a 5-out scheme whereas 5-out helps Sheppard less. Also, if anyone can compensate for the defensive inadequacies of Dillingham, it's Wemby. Topic also works for them.
I like Sheppard with Detroit. He can provide spacing on Day 1 for them as they run the offense through Cade. And as Sheppard improves his PG game, he can help take the load off of Cade.
Sheppard also fits fairly well with us if you assume we will still have Poole, Deni and Kuzma handing a lot of pick and roll initiation..
Topic would be ugly for the rest of the league. Someone who can reliably get in the lane along with Wemby would be a nightmare to defend. I am truly worried he is going to fall to the Spurs.
My 1/2 cent.
