    Kawhi's age has nothing to do with it.

    But this is the latest iteration of trying to find value. Used to be international players, now that's tapped out. Now the entire league is infatuated with freshmen who will almost all take years to develop because the NCAA top coaches don't do anymore. Go for the older players who have scraped and fought and learned how to improve their teammates on ty teams. That's where the value may be.
    I wouldn't say nothing to do with it especially since the main concern now is not wasting Kawhi's prime years/ making him stay in the future.

    Really thought he was a bright fella till I saw this

    Im sure he meant in the year of 2015. Which is almost fair.

    This pick makes much more sense than D White. And it looks like being 6'4 to 6'7 with longer than average wingspan are the criteria.
    Pop is about to spring a totally new concept on the league---going "Middling" with all the players between 6'5" and 6'10"

    That concept has been in existence since the 96-98 Bulls, which is then copied by the Warriors.

    But Poop still has a fetish for smaller, defensively-challenged types like Parker, Mills, Forbes, Laprovittola and Arcidiacono.

    I prefer to think he's going WNBA with the height variables six inches taller.

    He's got a fan in me already by liking my congratulatory draft tweet.

    Really like his versatility, athleticism and game. Versatile defender, can defend 4 positions well. If Chip can get a hold of him, he'll be a staple in the rotation by the 18/19 season.

    Man, I supported this pick until he asked who was better, Aldridge or Duncan.
    +1

    she actually wrote a great point on how the Spurs are drafting "older" guys who are closer to kawhi's age. Maybe FO's wanting to hit 2 birds in one stone, draft more mature players, trying to get a star FA and contend while rebuilding. Who knows tbh
    Yep, SAGirl makes a good point. Also, the uncertainty of Manu/Green/Mills/Simmons' future means the team could use more mature guys who can step in right now instead of developing younger, raw players.

    Leonard backup that can give the same intensity on defense. Why not?

    Like the pick but knowing pop he probably won't play much at all

    Might be an upgrade over Jonathan Simmons? Not trying to disrespect Simmons but I've heard from a few albeit bias Clemson fans that they think Blossomgame might be a little bit better.

    Needs to be locked in the gym with Chip all summer. If he can improve his 3-Pt stroke, he could be a major steal. He was one of the best athletes in the draft and is already a really good defender. Good size and length for the position. More of a transition offensive player right now that likes to play above the rim, but if he can become a knockdown shooter from the corners ala Bowen (which is all he'll likely be asked to do), he could a be solid rotational player for us in a couple years.

    ^Sounds like an Iggy-type player which he did claim he could be.

    I sure hope so.

    I just hope we won't be calling him Jaron HASNOGAME in a few months, tbh. Someone also has to remind him not to gloat after a dunk or he's ed.

    Pretty good depth in this draft to get a player like him so late. I mean he's not a tweener or anything like that. He's got legit size and can play d and is athletic. Other years we got Deshaun Thomas, Denmon, for example
