    Pretty much copying and pasting Bruno's OP from the 2014 thread:


    Spurs' 2017 draft picks:
    Spurs First round pick
    Spurs Second round pick




    Players available for the 2017 draft:
    International players born in 1995 and college seniors are automatically eligible.
    College underclassmen and international players born in 96, 97 or 98 (it doesn't get any more believeable) can enter in the draft.








    Key dates:
    April TBD: Nike Hoop Summit in Portland.
    April 12-15: Portsmouth invitational tournament.
    April 23: Early entry eligibility deadline, teams can start workouts with them.
    May 9-15: Draft combine in Chicago
    May 16: Draft Lottery.
    ? (assuming early June): Adidas Eurocamp in Treviso.
    June 12: Early entry withdrawal deadline.
    June 22: NBA Draft in NY.

    Need prospect ideas, people. I think my guy so far is John Collins out of Wake. Is there something huge wrong with him that I don't know about? The dude seems to have the boxes filled in already. But he's considered a fringe-first prospect at best and an undrafted one at worst. Crazy.

    Thanks for the thread, Chinook. Spurs have Atlanta's top 55 protected pick too, don't they? Obviously very unlikely they finish with a top 5 record, but there's still a chance.

    As for prospects, unless they trade the pick, I think they may need to go after someone more ready to play in the backcourt, because they may lose quite a lot of players. Someone like Josh Hart from Villanova perhaps? He's projected in the Spurs range for now.

    1) Check your links.
    2) When should I start pages? I have posted for those in our range(s) and think a page for a back to back pick of a U Wash PG would be ridiculous.

    Please rename the Melo Trimble thread "2017," or else ask me to make a new thread.
    Why? Because DraftExpress has Trimble #59.

    My goal is to just have one thread ever for a player on here, so I'll be updating. And you don't have to justify a prospect to me. It costs very little to make a thread, and you never know when a guy's going to become relevant.

    1) I will do that. I also want to know if those are even pertinent links for us to have. I've only used a couple of those, and there may be others that are worthy.
    2) You can start them any time. It'll take a bit of time to approve them, because I intend to update the already-made threads from last year first along with the indices.

    What are the needs?

    I'm inclined to go for a playmaker/slasher type over a big, and a shotblocking big over a pg.

    Spurs don't really have any young bigs so that is always a need. Also, guard, especially one that can create/get to the rim is always needed.

    John Moon. Probably won't get drafted but looks great for D league step. He plays division 2 but grew several inches in college. Super smart young man with work ethic. 7 footer can shoot.

    I'm liking Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk...he seems like he can do a bit of everything and due to his limited role at Kansas he will probably fall into our range on draft night.

    Playmaker, athletic, he's got good height for the guard position and plays good D

    I like Harry Giles (Duke PF) if we can get him. I saw one mock draft with him falling to the Jazz at #30. The other player I like is Bam Adebayo, the center from Kentucky.

    I'm actually really excited for this draft. If the Spurs do end up having to trade someone like Green or LMA, I hope they get a decent pick out of it. Even the guys projected to go at the top of the second look really good.

    Yeah, I like our chances of getting a solid contributor for the next few years.

    Harry Giles and Bam Adabayo are my preferences.

    Could most likely be had with our 2nd.

    I have seen Motley from Baylor as our 1st round pick in a few mocks.

    Wish the Spurs could land Malik Monk. He's a little undersized but would be ideal at the two next to Murray and Leonard.

    Man the more I think about it, this off-season is going to be very complicated. In addition to decisions about who to sign, its an offseason that's going to have to be about the long term future.

    For example, as much as I like Danny, if the priority is to get another wing this offseason given deciffencies in the back court it could mean moving on from him to make room in the starting line up. If that's the case do you move Danny at the draft even if you don't know what players are truly in play for free agency yet?

    And LMA? If there was ever a time to move him it's before the start of the next season. Does the heart situation impact that?

    You definitely don't move Green at the draft if the goal is to remain compe ive UNLESS you are going to draft someone you think can be a day-one starter at the two. That's not a position wait to fill until later. Danny's more than adequate value at his position. LMA would be signalling a retool, and that's a different matter. You don't need to worry about winning right away and can wait until July to try to replace him.

    Yeah he seems to have dropped out of the 1st entirely according to the mocks...I think he could easily be had with a 2nd or even picked up as undrafted free agent for summer league

    Motley and Swanigan look to be good gets at our pick
