With the #11 pick….
Quinn Fishburne@QuinnFishburne

Karim Lopez remains the best international prospect in the 2026 NBA draft, but who is he?...⤵️ The term “jack of all trades, master of none” sums up Lopez well; he has shown flashes of doing a bit of everything, shooting 32.6% from beyond the arc, while being a strong rebounder, with intriguing moments as a passer, who is able to generate steals and blocks. He has clear dribble-pass-shoot potential with impressive size and strength, especially considering he is one of the youngest players in the class. Still, at this point, Lopez doesn’t have a lone projectable skill he will be able to “hang his hat on” once he enters the league. Prospects like these pose inherent risk without any skills to fall back on; their value lies in them potentially taking significant developmental strides to both build out new skills and drastically refine their current ones. Even some of the most surprising picks of last year’s NBA draft had at least one specific skill that excelled at: - Yang Hansen (Passing) - Cedric Coward (Shooting + Defense) - Egor Demin (Passing) Contextualizing his lack of high-level competency with any singular skill is crucial in attempting to understand who Karim Lopez is. Given Lopez’s lack of skill speciality, much of his potential to be a “do-it-all” wing hinges on his ability to be a threat from the perimeter. Lopez’s shooting has been the tale of two halves, opening the season with stunning efficiency, shooting 40.4% on 3.1 attempts through the first 15 games. While on limited volume, Lopez’s hot start continued to solidify his place among the draft’s top-end talent. However, his start has since proved unsustainable, with his efficiency quickly declining over his last 16 games, shooting just 24.4% on 2.8 attempts per game. His collapse as a perimeter shooter has certainly slowed his momentum up draft boards and raised a new set of questions about the projectability of his offensive role if he isn’t at least a competent shooter. In that same breath, one of these admittedly tiny sample sizes will be an outlier; maybe these last 16 games are just a fluke cold streak or vice versa, that his hot start was a peak he will never reach again. Realistically, Lopez likely sits somewhere in the middle of his dual outlier samples this season. #NBADraft

People would actually rather we sign a worse player at RW just because they cost less lol. Liverpool and PSG have identified Diomande as the best winger on the market. We’ve got a Salah hole to fill. Shove your cheap signings up your arse.

@LFCLaurie I just want to watch him play. I’m not being asked to chip in for the fee. So I say sure why not?

Is £100m+ for Diomande crazy? Yes. Is the winger market absolutely dreadful? Yes. It’s not my money and if we want to put that on the table for him, we automatically improve. Simple as that.

@AndyKHLiu Because I live in NY and first thing I heard in the office was “He’s not as good as everyone makes him out to be. He’s just really tall”

Watch Victor Bericoto not play tomorrow, just so Vitello can get his best buddy Drew Gilbert in the lineup 🙄 @SFGiants

It’s hard to imagine this team isn’t 25 games under by the end of June. The worst part is there’s really nothing to be done to turn it around at this point. @SFGiants

@C2Cbsbl @sfgiantfutures I would have them switch off for like three games at a time. Want them both getting work at a lot of spots. No need to lock Kilen into 2B until it's closer to big league time.

Game 1 of the new middle infield pairing in High-A Eugene has Gavin Kilen playing shortstop, and Jhonny Level playing second base. Intriguing. The real question will come over the next few weeks as we see how the timeshare goes.
