The Spurs' future is mediocre indeed.
Someone shoud try very hard to convince me that a guy that is somewhat contributing to a loosing effort in a mediocre team in a regional league,
will be an overnight substantial contributor on an NBA contender team.
Simply unrealistic.
The Spurs' future is mediocre indeed.
It's still early but last years draft may still turn out to be a solid performance by the front office.
George Hill: I recall draft night being on this board with a lot of you and being ticked that the Spurs had taken this guy I had never heard of. I was wrong. It's amazing the front office may actually know a bit more about basketball and talent than me.
Mailk Hairston: There was debate about whether Phoenix had gotten one over on us that night but things are looking pretty good. Hairston did great with the Toros and is not embarassing himself when he gets into games. Should he evolve into a rotation player (and he is off to a good start) you have to be happy picking up such a guy in the middle of the second round.
James Gist: He tore up summer league and became a folk hero on this board giving the James White disciples a new player to hold out hope for. The jury is still out as with his size it will be interesting to see just where he fits in the NBA.
R.C. and Pop actually didn't do a bad job even with Presti going to Seattle. Heck even Marcus Williams is no longer a total embarassment.
This last draft could be remembered as one of the best ever by the front office if the three players become contributors...
I like the three of them A LOT

Same here. I'm also glad Hill wasn't sacrificed in any recent trade activity.
Don't forget to credit George Felton, as well. The Spurs have upped their level of college scouting since 2006.

Does Gist have the skills to play SF aside from PF? He does seem capable of hitting the mid-range jumpshot. How's his ballhandling skills?
Is he back from Europe yet for the race for seis?
Wikipedia:
¨On April 5, 2015, Gist again tested positive for marijuana use, for the second time in his career, after the Greek Cup final against Apollon Patras.[23] Eventually, on May 12, Gist was suspended for 8 months from participating in sports events¨
No one s with James Gist.
Bruno. Damn. That's a poster I haven't seen in a while.
It's a disgrace how the basket of deplorables on this site have pushed away some of the elite posters in this forum.
Dude was always a player-fan.
Gist avg 10.3 PPG and 4.6 RPG for Panathinaikos in 10 games of Euroleague play.
