2013 Draft Prospect: Tony Snell

[MannyIsGod]

His work ethic is excellent. Why would you think he lacks work ethic????

[SAmagic]

What would be the best and worst case scenarios ?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I gotta tell you guys that he's probably not an NBA SF. I've watched every single Tony Snell game in a UNM uniform and he's come a LONG way from when he first got here. Comparisons to Danny Green are good but he's almost certainly got the skill set to be a much better player and has to have a much higher ceiling. His handles are exceptional and he has very good court vision. He was second on our team in assists this past season and was HUGE for us in big games and in clutch situations.

The book on him the previous year was that he would struggle if he missed his first shot. That wasn't the case this year. He got much more aggressive and although there were some inconsistencies he showed much more aggression and a willingness to keep shooting even if he started poorly. His defense improved a lot this past year as well and he showed a lot of determination to make himself a much better defender.

Mentally he is Kawhi Leonard. They've got the same stoic mindset. You could not want more from this kid in that department.

He's slight of frame though. He's not going to bang with many players down low so I think he'd be overpowered a lot by NBA small forwards. I think he's going to be a SG in most systems but he could be a small ball SF similar to Manu/DG.

I think this is a good assessment. I'd love to see him drafted by the Spurs. I'm guessing the Spurs would have to make a move similar to when they drafted Kawhi and move up a few spots to nab him. I'll be he'll go 16-20 based on his combine results.

He's a player in the mental mold of Kawhi. Better natural shooter, but not a real banger/rebounder. The Spurs would have the Bot Brothers with him and Leonard.

I'd take him.

He has so much physical talent but he hasn't really improved much.

[yavozerb]

I think this kid would fit in well with the spurs. Have him behind crabbe as my top choices.

Um, what?

And none of those stats show how much he improved on the defensive end of the court. He was damn good on D last year.

[BackHome]

just doesn't rebound worth a .

[spurraider21]

so he's more of a 2-3 than a 3-4. thats fine. i like this pick provided we acquire another big in the offseason

[Chinook]

I'd much prefer a combo-forward to a swing-man, but I guess the team could always sign Aminu for cheap to fill that void.

Still, I'd prefer Crabbe over Snell (interesting names) if the Spurs are going to draft an American two-guard. Maybe I'd change my mind if I saw some tape on Snell, though.

[spurraider21]

this dude has some big hands too

looks like the face-grabber in alien

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

This was Kwahi's teammate in HS. I wouldn't be surprise to see the Spurs nab him. He is more of a SG anyways and he is like the Kwahi Leonard but if Kwahi was a SG.

We can't have two guys on the team with dreads...

Don't worry about that, Kawhi is going to do the opposite of Dr. J and go less conservative as he gets older. Dreads to Fro

For some reason I see Kawhi cutting his hair short next season..

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[Dingle Barry]

I would love him at 28. Biggest weaknesses appear to be physical strength and rebounding, both of which he can improve on and are way down my list of concerns for a young sg.

[DesignatedT]

After weeks of trying to figure it out, this is probably the guy I would like to see the Spurs take. (Unless Dieng is somehow there).

Pretty much. From the guys projected to be there in the late 20's Snell is my guy. But of course, if somebody like Dieng falls, its a no brainer. I really don't want to be drafting a small guard though. Tired of McClinton, Denmon, Neal

What do you think about Muscala? I'd love to have him backing up Spltter.

[yavozerb]

I am really hoping he falls to the spurs..

1a. crabbe
1b. Snell
