Après le latino Jaime Jaquez, voici venir Tristan Da Silva... Plus sérieusement (surtout qu'il est brésilien mais allemand - et que Jaquez ne parle, lui, même pas bien l'espagnol), Da Silva arrive en NBA tout aussi accompli et "valeur sûre" que l'ailier du Heat. D'ailleurs, je le trouve meilleur shooteur et défenseur, mais moins athlétique et puissant (ce qui n'est pas négligeable dans une enceinte NBA...). Da Silva a au moins un des planchers le plus hauts de la Draft, et pourrait donc se révéler à terme un meilleur investissement que certains freshmen ou sophomores choisis avant lui.

GSW Position: PF, SF

Highs: Can pass, rebound, shoot 3’s, can go inside as well, has a calmness to him but is still playing the right way, can put the ball on the floor and make a play at times when needed, has a jump shot, a fast cutter to dunk, lay it up or a floater (not your average athleticism very sneaky one you can forget it about it at times), can move without the ball, can be a catch and shoot guys at times as well, can makes shot coming off a screen or curl pretty fast, he sometimes still jump high for a rebound even with his length, when he gets a defensive rebound he wants to push ball for a teammate to score in transition, can bring the ball up, a very smart player in knowing where to be at in offenses and how to guard certain opponents (he sometimes will let his opponent go in front of him a little bit because he can defend from the side with his length), good at steals because his long arms but also knowing where the ball will be at for a player so he will break it up to create a steal

Lows: turnovers can worry at times, has to get stronger when trying to back down the opponent, his jump shot needs to be better coming off of curls, when 2 comes at him he gets uncomfortable creating a turnover

This is my second choice with our first second round pick. At the college level in second round, I like players who executed well at the college level and do not like taking projects so late in draft. In the second round, I ignore age. Mainly because I do not have the skill to find a Manu or Jokic in late draft lol. If we keep the final second round pick, I want to get this guy as well. He is a good defender, shooter, and pretty mobile. I prefer PJ Hall first but if PJ gone. I want this guy but would not mind both. This guy is slower than PJ and both are 6'9ish. He would be more of a 5 than guy who can guard 3,4,5.

Strengths:

Good Shooter

High BBIQ

Solid Defender

Solid Finisher

Weaknesses:

Sub-Par Rebounder

Older

Player Comparison: Santi Aldama

Tristan da Silva, in m opinion, is this year's do it al player. Every draft has one, Podziemski last year, Christian Braun in 2022, there's a couple guys in 2021 that fit, and I think da Silva can be the leader for that this year.

Da Silva had been the leader of Colorado for most of his time there, but it did feel like KJ Simpson took over the end of this year. I still think the leadership qualities are still there, and will come in more mature than most prospects.

Offensively is gifted. Can be a 3 level scorer, but can have some trouble in the midrange and down low, but is kinda nice in the post. He is a solid facilitator, nothing special and won't really average 5+ assists, but is more than happy to move the ball around.

Defensively he is solid. I liked how he stepped up his defense as the year went on. If he can do that game in and game out, he would have been a a 1st round lock and close to the lottery. But his defensive potential is there with someone that just ups the defensive floor of a team where individually is not a lockdown guy.
