Someone thinks he's going to fall into the 20s. Ask him.

The french JaVale McGee.
Strikes me as someone OKC will pick at 12.
They really need another scoring wing. As cheap as OKC is, Martin is likely gone. Their offer, if they make one, will likely be low and near insulting. It would make no sense to pay him after dumping Harden for financial reasons.
They have Lamb. He's unproven, but so is whoever they could draft at 12. Lamb at least has had a year in the "system." I think the Thunder are in a good position to go BPA and fill their needs in free agency.
Jeremy Lamb played 147 minutes in 23 games for OKC, and sucked balls. To put that in perspective, James Anderson was thrown a bone by the Spurs last fall, and with no plan for a future with the club, he played 94 minutes in only 10 games and smoked Lamb's numbers. Even though he didn't play as well for Houston as he did for us, JA still put up better numbers for HOU than Lamb did in OKC. You're talking about Lamb being worse than a guy who's year 3 option wasn't picked up, and who was cut in the middle of the season last year.
I was on plane from LA to SA on Friday May 24th. I'm about 99% sure I was sitting behind this guy on the plane - cant really miss 7 footers, also looked just like him. So I'm guessing he was in town to tryout for the Spurs - probably hoping they trade up, I doubt he falls to us at 28, but maybe. Pretty funny watching this guy grab his bag from the overhead compartment - not getting out of his seat, just reaching up with his long ass arms to grab his back pack.
If he's trying to fall to the Spurs, he might mysteriously come out with a case of Kidney disease/Knee injury/Heart condition... a day before the draft.
His agent is Bouna N'Diaye who has a very good work relationship with Spurs. I saw on of his interview about Gobert and he said the goal was to have him drafted by a team in need of a center instead of having him drafted as high as possible. He also said that he wouldn't be stashed overseas because he was done with stashing players after the Mahinmi failed experiment.
Looking at mock drafts, it seems unlikely to have him slipping at #28 but Spurs could try to move up to grab him. That's likely what they have told him to convince him to work out for them.
Anyway, all the above is, of course, providing he did worked out for Spurs.
I really do hope we get him!!
the splitter finals performance has me kinda rooting for gobert putting on a spurs hat.
good prospect
Centers rise on draft day...dude won't be around when the Spurs pick.
Is he athletic? We just need someone besides tim to grab some rebounds, easy put backs, and protect the rim.
Dieng (Louisville) is a solid defensive player but limited offensively. He should be there when Atlanta has their two picks.
i like dieng and olynyck, too. would gobert compete against baynes? or would they play off the bench together? diaw at sf?
Next Tim Duncan
Maybe in a parallel universe where he has a post game.Next Tim Duncan
Do you think Tim could work with him?
I believe Tim could work wonders with him.
I think Fab could help him very much, too, as our new big man coach.
If this dude is "gettable" I say go for it.
